    Called CIC today and got starnge answer

    I agree with you, I have posted in a previous topic the lack of sense in terms of making things more complicated for professionals already working in Canada, specially people under PGWP, it makes NO SENSE, if there are companies with workforce under these circumstances why not make things easier...

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    Many reasons. Having an OWP makes things faster in moving inside the company. Or someone is or about to be laid off or fired and they want to ensure that they have a job before that eventuality hits them. Or they got promoted and their job title, NOC or duties changed. Or they want to live else...

I'm putting an application together to return to Canada under the International Mobility Program, for a position identical to a position I had received a 1 year permit for a few years ago.

    am I eligible ? Can ANYONE Help me Please? I'm totally new to this.....

    Where in Canada did you study? You can apply for provincial nominee program. In my humble opinion and not to be a dream killer I would suggest you put the masters on hold and use the 4k you have now to sort out your immigration status in Canada. Now you need to plan it strategically but your...

    A lot SOWP Rejections for having study permit less than six months

    I think one can appeal on this, as there is no regulation or any law that says that international students should have six or more than six months available on their permit. VOs should know that students will apply for PGWP after their SP expires. I have seen people getting 2,3 and even 1 month...
