Hello everyone! This thread is too long I'm hoping someone can still see my comment here and advise me. So I have a PR status and I want to sponsor my partner under Family Class Common - Law. We have been living together since March 2016 (a year now) and we just moved recently and living with...

Hello everyone! This thread is too long I'm hoping someone can still see my comment here and advise me. So I have a PR status and I want to sponsor my partner under Family Class Common - Law. We have been living together since March 2016 (a year now) and we just moved recently and living with...

My advice would be to shift your wedding backward and do it before PPR. Informing CIC of your plans to get married holds no water, however telling them u are married is more reasonable and would prompt an action. On the other hand you can get your PR and file for your spouse but know it would...

So your nomination will come around Feb 2018 or a bit early like 1 or 2 months early. Therefore, you should look for other options like OINP or even EE. Both of them will have great change in the year end of 2016 so let's wait and see. You may be lucky enough to get an ITA. For BOWP and implied...

Can I ask where you go to update your SIN? Did you just drop into a 'Service Canada' centre with your BOWP application as evidence, or did you have to send your application for BOWP to the CRA? Also I thought FSW takes longer than CEC because IRCC has to verify a lot more for FSW than CEC (ie...

Hi all, Is it possible to earn points or scores if I have a degree from "a privately funded college (Canada Christian College )" under Express Entry: CEC? I check the regulation (R.73) for the definition, but it does not clearly state that. I want to make sure before applying for EE:CEC. I...

Hello esantos, Regarding the BOWP, I want your advice. My medical changed to pass today (July 29th), and my PGWP is expiring at the end of October 2015 (three months left). But I have not received the 2nd AOR yet. I am planing to apply the BOWP with the 1st AOR. My question is： Should I apply...

my case -- i am a permanemt full time employee here in canada on PGWP(LMIA excempted) now they say to get an LMIA isn't this ridiculous. lets see for how many people will they give LMIA and PNP. i suppose that they need to come down atleast to 400 for filling the minimum criteria for 2015...

I'm sorry to hear that! My work permit expires next year so I still have some time, but it still stresses the hell out of me. I can't imagine how it's like for you. If your boss will be deeply affected if you leave the country, then he/she should apply for your LMIA asap. I don't even know how...

Hi, First of, congratulations on the birth of your baby :) I went through the same case, I am on pgwp, my husband a citizen and we are about to have a baby, and we have an inland application in progress. We both wrote a letter inviting my parents to visit and my parents visa was approved for...

Leon and Ponga, thank you SO much for your replies. A few points to clarify our complicated situation: Regarding our relationship, we have lived common-law but it would be hard to prove. We're discussing getting married in the next month or two (sooner than planned but we're okay with it :) )...

Really don't know from where you got the idea of "Working Holiday Visa" but, your best bet would be to get the Off-Campus work-permit. Find a decent part-time job and also find a Cash job which will cover all your experience and you will not "violet" any "conditions" of your current student...

Thank you very much for all the valuable information. My PGWP is still in process and I'm working on implied status. The job was a CO-OP which extended into a 2 year full time position. My employer has applied for the endorsement application. The issue here is the course I studied. It's a...

Hi Sunny, First of all, get your IELTS done and make a Profile for EE. That is one thing you definitely need to do. People are talking about and of course there are statements and news from CIC that the score will drop soon. But when you create a profile online then there are other nominee...

I had the same issue going from an IEC work permit to PR with CEC Class. My current permit expires on August 24th and is, like yours, an open work permit, so I haven't had to get an LMIA for any of my jobs. I ended up submitting my BOWP via mail/paper and in one of the sections I explained the...

With all the details, now your situration make sense. Good that you will have your PR card ready soon.

At the time, I was led to believe that I did have some time to make a decision on whether or not to leave or stay to restore status by both my school's immigration advisor and a RCIC consultant. I'm planning on getting relevant work experience regardless. The only thing I'm concerned about is...

I am on an IEC visa and got my BOWP by answering: 1. NO (I don't have an LMIA, even if my boss could write me a letter) 2. SAME EMPLOYER (I still work for my company, even though I might lose/change employment in the future) I don't remember my response to 3. As long as you add a LOE to your...

Apart from the info already provided by Scylla.... 1) LMIA - There is no employer "sponsorship" per se, but there are things your employer can do to assist you. One is to apply for an LMIA. This is not always easy to get, but if it is approved, it would do 2 things - make you eligible for a...
