Hello everyone. Have a simple question: I'm on an open work permit (SOWP) and want to apply for PR soon. I had started an online diploma course in 2021, which is still going on, which is equivalent to a Canadian diploma, before I arrived in Canada (in 2023) on the OWP. The diploma is about to...

Replying here for posterity and if someone is in the same situation as me in the future. I did get my owp. But here are some mistakes I did that you should avoid. 1. If you're common law, carry any documents with you that has both your names on it. Could be utility bills, delivery of...

Thank you so much! Yes I'm aware of the logistical issues, but just wanted to know if I am presenting with any obvious mistakes that I cannot see myself.

@Naturgrl @scylla @canuck78 requesting a response! Thank you

Requesting @Naturgrl and @scylla for assistance!

My common law partner has received her study permit. I plan on going after her through ICT GSS closed work permit. Will it be possible for me to convert my closed work permit to open (SOWP) after reaching there?

Has anyone tried to get WES equivalency for their Executive PG program yet? Upgrad salespeople are really pushing me to get an upgrade to their MSc program to get CRS points, and that the new program is not recognized anymore, but I don't believe them.

@Naturgrl asking for your help again for another query! Thanks in advance

Someone please help!

My partner wants to apply for study permit under SDS. We are not able to provide proof of tuition paid, because it's a fully funded program. The university does provide an invoice of the tuition paid, but that will be in July, when they process their tuition from funded programs. If we provide a...

Paging @scylla for help!
