LOL, I feel JT will sink either at by the hands of the Conservative Party next year if he doesn't step down, or by some other Liberal MP if he does.

This is where we disagree, I believe students should take the burden of navigating through the Canadian legal system even though there is ambiguity or even intentional / unintentional misinformation. They are moving to a new country, they should at the very least get legal counsel on the options...

Technically speaking it does, if someone in their closed work permit P1, gets an open work permit P2, and changes employer afterwards (because I can't see the reason why would they even apply for a OWP if they won't change employers anyway), the P1 work permit gets invalidated at that point...

I agree on the economy part, although for Canada's defense, whenever Canada tries to innovate in a certain industry, the US just gobbles it up. Either they get bought up by an American company, or forced to go to the US or re-establish there to access more capital and market. I remember hearing...

Yes it's DHS (Dept. Homeland Security) for CSBA, and UCSIS for IRCC

I said from vocational to PhD holders, just to emphasize a point that regardless of what study they finished, they've should've at least made due diligence of what are they getting themselves into. So to substitute it here, these MBA or Commerce students should've made due diligence what are...

Well yes, because the LEAVE CANADA BY XYZ is becomes invalidated once they change status, see clause (5). Whether you transition from student -> worker -> tourist -> worker -> student, it's ok because it's nullifies the first leave by date. BUT that means you have to APPLY, so if a student was...

But it doesn't have to be, law states (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/section-183.html): "(b.1) the day on which the second of their permits becomes invalid, in the case of a temporary resident who has been issued a work permit and a study permit;" So if a student...

Dude I only had to look at the price difference between international tuition and domestic tuition once to figure out that the Canadian government is using the TR-PR scheme as a money making scheme for Canadian universities and that Canada wanted to give out as may student visas as possible. So...

But that's the point right? Canada in the beginning assumes that you do NOT have an intention to have a valid status AFTER you finished your studies. If a student who finished their studies is too lazy to work on their PR, or get a PGWP or get a job in Canada after their graduation, has let...

I think what I said was taken a bit out of context. Canada can say one thing like the link that you posted, but totally do something different like this: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/eligibility.html One of the eligibility...

I recently watched this in the news, and I find it ridiculous why would immigration look at what kind of "studies" students are taking? After all students are supposed to be just students right? They just want to learn something which may or may not be tied to Canada's labor market, it just so...

I have NO credit score when I landed in Canada, but Scotiabank never asked for any money to "secure" the account. Looking back, I do have a job offer, maybe they considered it? Though they didn't give me a high credit limit, only like $1,000. I had to get an employee verification letter to have...

It's still 3 months for BC. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-coverage/msp/bc-residents/eligibility-and-enrolment/how-to-enrol/coverage-wait-period " the month in which residence in British Columbia is established, plus two months before benefits can begin. "

Never happened to me with Scotiabank, they gave me a basic credit card with no lock, but I guess it's because I have a premium bank account with them. Doesn't matter. RRSPs are considered as retirement accounts in the US, so you get taxed only when you pull them out of the account instead of...

If your talking about the bank account, they're monthly fees, not annual fees. Nearly all brick-and-mortar banks have some kind of waiver as long as you meet the minimum deposit requirements even for NON-newcomers, it's typically $6,000 for the premium accounts which includes a premium credit...

Not sure about Toronto, I landed in Vancouver, but I'm assuming it's a similar setup. > You should have different queues. > She won't be able to accompany you, and depending on the number of immigrants landing on that day she might have a long wait. > The officer will ask if you are coming by...

For me I just gave a job offer and it's pretty much done. I told them I'm new to Canada, and they didn't even ask for references. I'm not sure if just specific to my landlord or it's because purpose built rentals are suppose to operate that way.

Depends on the rental unit, some only need a job offer letter. I got mine with no credit history, but I'm on a purpose built rental unit.

SIN is a must, the PR card is dependent on IRCC, you must have a Canadian address on where they can ship the PR card. Other things that might interest you: getting a health card, and porting your driver's license . 1. I never did a soft landing, I landed here and that's it so can't comment on...
