Hey Everybody,

Before I start I'd like to highlight that I am no expert in the area of Canada immigration and my intention here is not to offend anybody but to just provide a guideline on how you could research your question before creating new threads. I have seen a lot of people in these forums repeatedly asking similar questions without taking any effort whatsoever to do any research on their own before posting their questions.

You would be amazed at the number of results you would see if you merely did a simple google search of your question followed by the words "Canadavisa". This provides multiple links to this forum with threads containing a lot of information about the same doubts or issues you are going through that various others have asked and got an answer to.

The essence of these type of forums is not to keep adding threads and posting your questions but to do your own research in this database before unnecessarily repeating questions. Of course, for questions where you are not satisfied with what you've found, creating a new thread in hopes of finding a better answer makes total sense, but you could always add on to existing threads as well. Creating a new thread is not the only way to get your post to show up on the top, even if you were to add a comment on an existing thread, your post is going to appear on the top.

Absolutely agree, with one caveat. Double check that any answers that one finds are still applicable under current legislation. It's a moving target and things can change overnight. So, for example, a citizenship related response from early 2017 may be redundant now.
