    November 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    1. I received an email saying that I would have to do a re-test because they suspected suspicious activity. Two days later I received an email telling me that I was also invited for an interview. There was no second interview because it was resolved in the first interview. During the interview...

    November 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    I was in the same boat and was told by the frustrated official who interviewed me that the mistakes are being made by new employees. My sister and I applied for our citizenships at the same time and hers was processed within 3 months, granted that she has been a PR for 30 years and I, only 2.5...

    October 2022 Citizenship Applications

    Hi I got an email to get my fingerprints done which I did at the closed police station. I've received a letter from the RCMP. Do I open the letter or should I send it sealed to the requested IRCC address? Thank you in advance.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

    Hi. It seems that there isn't much we can do to speed it up. My mom and my sister (dependent) received their e-corp on 7th of April. My sister has received her PR card but my mom's still says submitted. I sent a webform asking for them to expedite it because we need her PR card (as a form of...

    Attempted Suicide

    If our sister was able to pass her medical (with the psych evaluation) after 30 years of mental illness, I'm very certain this guy will have no problems passing it.

    Coming to Canada as a Teacher

    1. There has always been and will always be a demand for French / French immersion teachers and for schools in rural areas. 2. Immigration to BC and the decrease in class sizes (union win in 2016) has increased demand for teachers. 3. COVID did not have any significant impact on increasing...

    Attempted Suicide

    We had to answer yes because my sister had a decades long battle with depression. Check with your psychiatrist if yours would be considered 'major'. If unsure, my advice is to tell the truth rather than have the whole application rejected for dishonesty. Like I said, your 11 day stay in the...

    Attempted Suicide

    Just answer the questions honestly. If they do not bring up anything about suicide do not volunteer the information. We had to tell everything because my sister had been struggling with mental illness for decades and that was the only way we could sponsor her i.e. as a dependent.

    Attempted Suicide

    After my sister had completed her medical, they asked her to get a psyc. report from their panel of psychiatrists. We did that and they passed her medical in a week and she got her PR. So don't worry. Yours was just a bad patch like you said. We all stumble but we pick ourselves up and move...

    Attempted Suicide

    Don't worry about it - it will not have an impact and will not be a grounds for rejection. Just answer the questions honestly to your panel physician. As long as you are not a threat to Canadian society and you are not above the medical cost threshold, it is ok. We managed to sponsor my 53 year...

    Coming to Canada as a Teacher

    1. I believe that the Canadian degree played a part in securing the Certificate of Qualification - implied that I had knowledge of the education system I suppose. However, to get the Independent School certificate, as long as the degree is recognised, it doesn't matter where it was completed...

    Coming to Canada as a Teacher

    I read a lot of threads where they said it was hopeless for teachers from abroad to get a job as a teacher in Canada. It's not true. 1. I wanted to settle in BC so I went to their website https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/teach/become-a-teacher/applying-outside-bc 2. I...

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

    Hi We got the pre-arrival letter in August of 2021. Then they asked my mum and sister to go for a medical in February 2022 (they had done a medical for their visitor visa but not for PR). Same month my sister was asked to go for a psyc. examination. The psyc. report was completed and the doc...
