    the best way to avoid lost of PR Status

    If you landed in Nov. 2009 and are going to return in April 2012, you will only have been outside Canada for 2 years and 5 months at the most. That is 29 months. You are allowed to stay outside Canada as a PR for up to 36 months (1095 days or 3 years) in your first 5 years as a PR. You will...

    Spousal sponsorship

    You do not need to show income to sponsor a husband and child. As you are married and your husband is not yet PR, you must include him in the application, either as accompanying or not accompanying. Whichever you do, he will still need background checks and medicals so you might as well list...

    Residency Requirement

    You say you left Feb 2008 so I assume that you did not work in January or February 2008? Did you file your taxes for 2007? Paying taxes is not the same as filing taxes. If you are working for an employer, they will automatically withhold your taxes and pay them for you but every year, usually...

    Residency Requirement

    Immigration does not care about taxes. For that, you deal with revenue services. Did you even work in Canada? If no, you never really took up residence in Canada for tax purposes and will start filing taxes only after you take up residence and start working. If you did work in 2007 and...

    Provincial Nominee Application / LMO Application

    It means if you want to keep your PR application going, you must keep renewing your work permit every time it is about to expire which will probably mean you need a new LMO unless you are a PNP nominee, then you don't.

    Province query!

    Your work experience has to be in Saskatchewan so obviously the reference there to on-campus and other work done during your studies only applies if you had studied and done that work in Saskatchewan.

    Spousal sponsorship

    You have a big problem. By not declaring that you got married before you landed or at the very latest at the time you landed, you have committed misrepresentation. By landing without declaring, you have basically made the statement that you were still single at that time and that you have no...

    New Immigrants in Calgary, Alberta who needs new or pre-owned TOYOTA

    Why is it so common for Filipinos to write their posts in half English and half Tagalog? You never see anybody else doing this, only Filipino. For the people who only understand half your message but really want to buy a Toyota, they might not call you now :)

    Residency Requirement

    They will not deny you entry but if they realize you don't meet the residency requirements, they can report you for it and in that case, they will let you in and give you the chance to appeal for your PR. From what most people write on this forum who have entered without meeting the...

    CIC pushing for interview!

    I think it is unlikely that they would issue a removal order because as a minor having been removed from Canada by your parents, if you were outside Canada applying for a travel document, they would most likely give it to you. Maybe they are calling you in for an interview because they want to...

    HOW TO MANAGE THE COLD WEATHER-TIPS

    Province query!

    1) I never said you would get your off campus permit after 6 months. You can apply after 6 months. That means you will have it by the time you graduate. If you want to start a part time job in Toronto, that is up to you but when you graduate, you can go to Sask. with your off campus permit...

    Giving up one citizenship for another? Is this for real?

    Talk to the US embassy about that. I assume it is easier to get a visa if you are PR than if you are not. They will have less worries about him overstaying in the US if he is already living in Canada.

    Can one applies for PNP and CEC at the same time?

    1. He would have to talk to his PNP. I asked this question of AINP some years ago when a coworker was contemplating leaving the employer and they said that if they hear that the person is no longer working for the employer who sponsored them at any point prior to them landing as a PR, they will...

    Giving up one citizenship for another? Is this for real?

    True, being a Canadian PR only gives you the right to live in Canada but does not give you any additional rights to travel without a visa to other countries.

    Giving up one citizenship for another? Is this for real?

    The Canadian citizenship law changed in 2009 but nothing to do with dual. It makes it harder for people to keep Canadian citizenship though generations of living outside Canada. With the new law, if you were born outside Canada but have gained citizenship because either of your parents was a...

    Giving up one citizenship for another? Is this for real?

    Canada allows dual so if he has to give up his Jamaican citizenship, it must be the Jamaican citizenship act that has that. However, looking at http://www.immihelp.com/citizenship/dual-citizenship-recognize-countries.html it seems that they do allow people who gain US citizenship to keep the...

    RESIDENCE QUESTIONARE..!

    Since you have already waited to the point of having taken the test, the RQ process might not actually be longer than applying again so it is hard to say which is better.
