    Can Visitor Record and PGWP running at the same time?

    Hi, I applied for Visitor Record in February. In April, I also opted in for the 18-month extension for PGWP before my current one expires. Can they be running at the same time, or is it better to withdraw the VR application? If both get approved, which expiry date should I follow in order to...

    Do I need to provide bank records for PR application?

    Thank you. I'm worried because I didn't keep any of the statements, and I changed bank. So it won't be possible for me to provide, if they do ask for it. Has there been anyone who was asked by IRCC for their bank statements?

    Do I need to provide bank records for PR application?

    Good Morning everyone, I've submitted my PR application, but something is worrying me. I only included Reference Letter, T4, NOA, and paystubs to support my work experience. Are these enough? My salary was paid by e-transfer, do I need to provide bank transactions that show salary deposit...

    Is it ok to work as a contractor after a year of being an employee ?

    Thank you so much. Since under the personal history, I’ll need to disclose all jobs, so I was wondering if I write 6 months contractor (as an intern), 1 year full time employee, and afterwards a few months contractor at the same company, will that look negative or not.

    Unpaid leave while cec processing

    Hi. If I’ve submitted CEC and go back to my country for a few months but didn’t get my TRV approved to go back to Canada because my open work permit is expiring in 8 months. Would that make me lose PR even if it’s approved? Do I have to be in Canada when PR is approved? Can I accept CEC PR...

    Is irregular pay problematic ?

    Thank you for your prompt reply. My understanding is that I only need to provide T4 and paystubs. T4 won't show pay dates so I'm good. But paystub does show pay date, if the officers notice the irregular pay dates, would they think I'm working for an illegitimate company? Because I have the...

    Is irregular pay problematic ?

    Hello dear members, I'm working from home for a small company. An accountant sent salary via email transfer every two weeks. So I'm always paid biweekly. However, during the "pay weeks", most of the times she sent it on Mondays, but sometimes Tuesdays or Wednesdays... Would this "irregular" pay...

    CEC Canadian work experience

    Thanks. Your plan sounds the safest. The pandemic lockdown is making me so sick of being alone. Everything makes me feel terrible and depressing, which makes me more homesick than ever before :(

    CEC Canadian work experience

    Thanks a lot. However, I don't see how the information in the link is related to my situation. "An allowance for normal vacation time during a period of qualifying work experience cannot be used as a substitute or proxy for meeting the in-Canada element of the work experience requirement...

    CEC Canadian work experience

    Yes they gave me very opaque answers in the past, not helpful at all. That's why I consult with this forum a lot more. Thank you for your insights.

    CEC Canadian work experience

    Thank you. I actually also called CIC as well, the agent on the phone told me it's fine as long as I am getting paid as usual by the Canadian company.... she said remote work is ok. Different people tell different things. I'm confused.
