Also, the supervisa does not necessarily entitle you to remain in the country for 2 years. That decision is made by the CBSA officer when you arrive in Canada.

Unfortunately, your question is much too broad to be answered. Toronto is a huge city and if you factor in the other cities comprising the Greater Toronto Area, this is even more so the case. Each of the cities has areas that are better and worse than others. For example, Mississauga has a...

Waterloo is a booming market for early stage tech companies, and there are lots of jobs available. Similarly, Mississauga has a longstanding history of attracting more mature techn companies (i.e., offices for Microsoft, etc.) and there should be plenty of jobs there as well. Given that they...

The train station in Montreal (and Toronto, for that matter) is located in the heart of downtown, so if you do go there, you won't need a car. you can walk around or take a taxi/Uber to get pretty much anywhere without paying too much. Montreal is amazing in the summer and I'm sure your family...

Countries in the Middle East issue such certificates on a routine basis. Search in this forum and you will find plenty of examples of people who have obtained these documents from the UAE, KSA, etc. These documents are only required by those PR renewal applicants whose application goes to...

I would recommend buying a used one. You avoid the extra charges related to a new car, and you also avoid the immediate depreciation in value. If you are going to buy a new one, use a site like unhaggle.com to determine the dealer's price, so you know how much room you have to negotiate. Good...
