do you not understand that everyone’s circumstances are unique? You even think some people are poor by choice - don’t you? You sound really thick! Are you on the forum only to annoy people? If you have nothing to contribute, why won’t you just shut up? Please don’t respond on my thread again. I...

This is absolutely a huge concern for us as we have family in India, UK and USA. We have to move this summer or forget about it. Looks like we'll move!

Thank you for your inputs. We have now decided to move next month. Fingers crossed!

It was not a choice unfortunately. You don't know my circumstances so your comment is highly inappropriate and unhelpful.

We soft-landed in May 2019 and got our PR cards. Returned to the UK, sold our house and prepared to move in Apr 2020. Then Covid happened. We are still stuck here. We have to move by May2022 to keep our PR status (2/5 yrs residency). Although I am "allowed" to enter Canada as a PR, there are...

Hi all, we are in a tricky situation. Appreciate advice re what we can do now. We have our PR cards (soft landing) but just before we moved COVID happened and we didn’t move. We live in the UK and inlaws in India. MIL passed away recently with Covid and FIL (father-in-law) came to stay with us...

I don't know. I made changes.

Hi all, We soft landed in May 2019 with the intention of moving in May 2020. As we were just preparing to leave, Covid happened and we are still in our home country. We are thinking of moving this year but we are not sure given the current situation (One of us has health conditions) . We must...

1. My parents have Indian passports. They’ll be visiting my sister in the USA for a few months. Can they apply for Canada visitor visa from USA? We have our PR, but didn’t move yet. They want to apply after we move. 2. After the initial 6 months in Canada, Can they go to USA for 6 months and...

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any relaxation to this rule given the current Covid situation? I heard job situation is pretty dire. If we don't move to Canada in the next few months, we'll be very close to not meeting the 2/5 requirement for PR extension. Appreciate thoughts on this...

I have a limited company here in the UK with about CAD 100k profits in it. It is currently dormant. I will be closing the company a few months after I move to Canada. There will be no appreciation whatsoever between my moving date and company closing date. As per my understanding, I will not...

That’s crazy! Why did you have to give 6 months rent in advance???

Hi all, We are preparing to relocate to canada permanently in a few months time. I was wondering if we can rent a house before we land? My cousin is a student in Toronto, so he can go and check out the place etc. Having a home to go straight away is so convenient! we won’t have jobs when...

Pls can you explain ?

Very informative thread. Thank you

I was advised on this forum not to rely on travel insurance. If something happens, the insurance company will attempt to repatriate to your home country.

Thanks Navin. We are not into hard core programming/dev. Ours is Business/Data Analysis/PM kind of work.

Hello everyone, We have started preparing for the move next spring/summer. All very exciting but extremely worried about finding a job esp with all the negativity around not having "Canadian experience" I'm starting this thread to gather strategies that worked for others. What is it that I...

Hi all, sorry I forgot to update. We sent an email explaining that we will be moving permanently next year and send them evidence of informing Toronto public health nurse about this. They responded saying its ok and they will update our file with our evidence.

Hi all, We landed in May 2019 and have our PR cards. We had to return to the UK to sell our house, liquidate investments etc in preparation for the move. Our initial plan was to move in May 2020, but due to Brexit we are struggling to sell our house (and investment properties). I was...
