    I am too, but at least in terms of salary, you will be on the scale the Westerners are on. As long as you're getting paid like a Canadian/American/Brit/European, the other stuff shouldn't be an issue. No one goes to the Gulf for the work environment, they go there for the money and lifestyle.

    FSW WORLDWIDE

    I think if you want to go back to the GCC then the MBA is a good idea, mainly because they have a strong preference for people with Western education and experience, so they don't mind paying a premium in terms of salary to bring someone on board with that kind of background, because they feel...

    York and Ottawa U are both very good universities with very good reputations. I would not hesitate with either of them. My issue is that nowadays it seems like the MBA is obsolete, I don't think it has the same pull it once did. So I don't know if it's the best option, I would look into it...

    Is it risky to travel frequently to Quebec while waiting for PR from a federal program?

    It has no bearing, the government doesn't track your movements and travel across provinces. Only time this would be an issue is if he was either employed or resided long term in Quebec.

    Gift deed multiple deposit

    I can't say for certain, but I would just explain the arrangement and the reason in your letter of explanation. Why can't it be sent to you directly through multiple transactions?

    Okay to hold a bank account in Canada?

    Can you switch your mailing address to a friend's and have it sent to them? Then either they can scan or send it to you by mail/courier. I know IRCC will accept bank statements in lieu of a bank letter for foreign banks, because not all banks will agree to provide a customized letter which is...

    Travel Visa vs. COPR vs. PR Card to Re-enter Canada

    Tell them to mail your PR card to you. Not only will the visitor visa be cancelled on their system, they will see your immigrant visa in your passport and ask you for the PR card, you won't be able to board a flight without it.

    Do not have T4 or NOA for some jobs in Canada.

    I don't know for sure if they do, but I don't think it should be a problem as long as you list them but are not claiming points for them. They always have the option to crosscheck your records of employment through the CRA. In fact, you should still have access to your my services account even...

    Okay to hold a bank account in Canada?

    Having a Canadian bank account as someone without a permanent status in Canada is a bit of a grey area, I'm assuming you didn't communicate that you were leaving Canada to them. But as long as it's active you can disclose it as proof of funds, but remember that you need a bank letter from them...

    I think a lot of your criticisms are valid. However, as we all know you don't get everything in one place. You also have to make a lot of effort to live an interesting life here, probably more than you would in Europe and the US, and that's mainly because there is not as much of an emphasis on...

    I don't believe the vast majority only want to come to Canada for citizenship and the passport. I think a privileged percentage of people do, but most are here because they want to settle in Canada permanently. The issue is also whether they can sustain their life in Canada the period required...
