    Can I give AirBnB address for health card and driving license

    Some provinces have software that flags up business centres and mailbox addresses when you provide it for government services as they are trying to cut down on fraud. Your luck would greatly depend on where you are trying to get your license.

Instead of focusing on employment, settlement, etc, all that negative emotional and mental energy will take a toll. In Canada, we have what...

    LONDON Visa Office Applicants....Lets connect here

    While it is true, I would say the data set is big enough to compensate for those that do. Definitely better then individual anecdotes which can be based on a number of factors. One of the key reasons apps are sometimes stuck at LVO is because of security screening, and this can help you see how...

    Fraud marriage

    Sorry to hear about the tough situation you are going through. It might be best if you get legal advice as soon as possible (a lawyer specializing in divorce cases rather then one who recommends private investigators). If you have any joint assets, it’s better to seek legal help early then wait...

    get a survival job with advanced degrees

    If it’s a survival job, half the time the employer doesn’t even care what your resume says as long as you have a pulse. There are fast food and retail places that hire people with zero experience. There are 16 year olds doing the job! Alternatively, just go to any temp agency, people show up...

Canada is about to have an election and a potential new government might decide to drastically change Express Entry or reduce the number of invites. Just take a look at what Quebec govt has done recently.

    August AOR 2017

    I think pretty much everyone from the AOR August 2017 that doesn't have PPR is under SS, otherwise there is literally no other justification of why our case is taking so long. As per my understanding, the average time for SS is 12 months from IP2, which means my case will drag into 2019 :(...
