    Thank you so much Profiler! You are a wealth of knowledge and I always appreciate your answers so much. They always make me feel SO much better.

    Hi everyone, Just a quick question about spousal sponsorship and social assistance. I know you can't be on social assistance if you are sponsoring your spouse, but what exactly counts as 'social assistance'? I know it's welfare but what programs fall under that category? Ei? Canada child...

    So US NSA employees are desked and working in Canada? They can't look into cell phone records or anything can they? Coming from the states, you start to get that 'big brother' mentality ???

    Ah how frustrating! I am pretty young still, not a blemish on my record. I've never gotten so much as a speeding ticket! I wish they'd just call so it would go faster ;) Any idea what they even look for? Obviously dangerous crimes, convictions, terrorism ties, but what about little stuff?

    Hey thanks so much! You just saved me from a 25 minute wait time with IRCC :o I've been doing some research, I think if the certification or 'course' is less than six months, it doesn't count as vocational training. Of course like Profiler said, I can always argue that it's new employee...

    Hi all, just need a little advice on my OWP! Received it in the mail and have found a job! Job requires the Respect in Sport and First Aid certifications. The only problem is that my OWP says no professional, academic, or vocational training. Do those certifications fall under that category?

    Extended stay as visitor, only given one month before expiring again?

    Any info you can give me about applying Outland from in Canada would be extremely helpful! I didn't know this was an option for me.

    Extended stay as visitor, only given one month before expiring again?

    It looks like I'll be applying for another extension. Unfortunately I don't have the option of applying Outland. Why do Americans regret from applying inland? Longer wait times, higher denial rate?

    Extended stay as visitor, only given one month before expiring again?

    Thank you for the info. I would apply for another extension, but I'm afraid I would only be given another short extension...with the last application we sent proof of my husband's income, our bank statements, etc. Hubby has a higher paying job now, but like I said, I don't want to be spending...

    So, I'm an American married to a Canadian currently living in Canada. We are going to apply for PR soon, but don't have the funds for it at the moment. Back in February I applied to extend my stay as a visitor well before the 6 month expiration. I got my new document yesterday (Says it was...
