Hi This is a rather scary place to be. If for some reason your application falls out of the list, you may have an alternative. Find a job in Canada (difficult but possible), get a work permit, and then apply under the PNP. I did, and I am now in Canada for over4.5 years. Different NOC, but...

Your best bet is to get in touch with Canadian Border Services. http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/bis-sif-eng.html - Contact info for CBSA They should be able to clarify any questions that you may have on this subject. Cheers!!..

The best information on this subject is available from the CIC website here : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse-apply-who.asp Goodluck

Taxes in Canada are notably a very complex issue. I have had this discussion with my accountant a while ago, and he told me that you can deduct a percentage of your expenses to your home (based on the physical space used) So if you have a study used for business and that is 10% of the size of...

I agree with Sharat. The link also provides information on what would be acceptable as proof of the required amount. They did not ask usk to prove it either clearing into Canada. Follow the directions from the link and you should be fine. Cheers!!

A pleasure, happy to help. Canada is a sweet place to live. If you want more info I have a ton of business related articles on one of the sites in my signature. Feel free to have a look there. I have also just completed a complete guide to immigration to Canada, which will be going live...

You generally do not need to insure your own car, though you are required to have liability coverage for your car (if you hit someone else). Premiums vary accross Canada though you will probably land somewhere between $500 & $800 / year ( $60 / month =-) Drivable second hand cars start at...

There may be several other options available as well. Consider exploring family reunification program. (sponsorship) Depending on your family situation he may qualify. I agree with the previous comment regarding finding a Canadian employer before he will be able to apply for a workpermit...

I do not agree with the negativity. I think finding a job in Canada is not that hard. Having a foreign degree only provides challenges if the job requires a Canadian specific licensing, which can be overcome somewhat. If your wife has status (citizen) in Canada, then there is also no reason...

Though not an expert on Quebec specifically might I suggest that you explore the Live in Caregiver programs. Have a look at the CIC website. This might get you a work permit, and status sooner. And with your skills this might be right up your alley. Good luck

If you have status in Canada, finding a job in Canada is not that hard. The biggest challenge would be the interview process, which may require you to be in Canada. If you are at all concerned about this you can easily get online and start talking to some potential employers. Also keep in...

Tough question. Chances are if it is stated as a minimum requirement you will not be able to get your permit. It will probably be denied. It would likely prove harder to find a job without status in Canada though, so I would suggest work the extra time to get the experience in the mean time...

Afraid there are no shortcuts. You will simply have to find a job. If you are so inclined, live in home care givers usually do not have too much problems with this, provided you have the right experience and training (which is not a lot). Why not give that a try. Cheers

There is no restriction to where you physically sit when you work and earn money, so if you have clients in UK, and want to be in Canada (on visitors visa) technically there should not be a problem with you doing so. They are paying you in the UK and you are working remotely in the UK (even if...

It is indeed permitted. Anyone, resident or non resident could legally own shares in businesses in Canada. There may be a limit to the percentage of a Canadian business you could procure, however if you are planning trading on the stock market this will not likely prove an issue. Speak to...

I am afraid I do not completely agree with Spyro. As a non resident (PR or citizen) you need to have a Canadian partner who has minimum % ownership of the business. (usually at least 25%). The Industry Canada website has some limited information on this. Your ownership in the business will...

Hi Lidia I have posted some answers for you to your queries. (see below) I hope they are helpful. Unfortunately there are no shortcuts for this type of operation... 1. Being a non resident must she have apply for residency and then open the company? She would not be permitted to register a...

Hi The questions of business in Canada for non residents (non citizens or PR) is one that comes up often. There are many rules though the most important thing about this is that there is a restriction to percentage of foreign ownership. Depending on the setup you may be forced to take a...

Hi Rajspeeder I have recently set up my first company in Canada (also an immigrant). No doubt it is fun and very expensive. If you are looking to buy a business your best bet is to have a chat with a business broker in your area. Depending on your credit rating you would also be able to get...

I agree with Zardoz. It would also be in your interest to do so properly and prudently. I have recently heard of some immigration fraud relating to address issues. I believe that CIC does not look on this kind of thing kindly, and not properly updating your address information (especially...
