    US Visa

    Will do, Thanks. Although she overstayed but she was never given a court order or the equivalent to leave US, she left voluntarily. I told her something similar to your comment however she was just keeping her options open for any possibilities as she really wants to be there for her friend.

    US Visa

    Hey guys, need your opinion - My friend was studying in US on F1 (student visa) till she graduated but she did not leave before the end of grace period instead she left a whole year later - meaning she overstayed her visa (F1). Is it still possible for her to apply for a US B2 (visitor visa) and...

    Changes Along the Way

    Will that not create some doubts with CIC that this person did not disclose proper information a) in the citizenship application and b) anytime after the actual change (from A to B) happened whilst they were Canadian PR. Also, the CIC knows that they applied for Canadian PR when they were still...

    Changes Along the Way

    At the time of Canadian citizenship application, this person no longer has any obligations to country A, its just that they came to Canada as Canadian PR holder when they were citizen of country A (so they applied for their Canadian PR under A) but gave up the citizenship of country A and...

    Should I settle in Canada? Is it worth it?

    I think I can understand those people coming from mostly Asian countries since their social status mobility upwards is similar to what we are experiencing in "Africa" - which is - our parents/grandparents worked hard either by themselves (self-employed) or for some not fair employers. And they...

    NO GUARANTEES

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/canadian-denied-entry-us-immigrant-visa-1.4011202 What do you say to that? That will surely ring alarm bells for those hoping to use Canada to catapult themselves to USandA for whatever the reasons.

    Buying a new house

    But the shock to me comes from the fact that it is Canada and not some developing nation. As we know Canada is still a rich country and has lower income inequality compared to other nations. How many of those who participated in this thread own a home? (no mortgages, borrowing, etc - plain...

    Buying a new house

    In Ontario, for a person working 6 days a week @ 8hrs/day on minimum wage would earn: 48hrs/week x CA$11.00/hour = CA$528.00/week x 52weeks/year = CA$27,456.00 (gross) Keeping everything simple, after tax income = CA$24,250.00/annual, if that persons annual expenses are 50% then savings will...

    Buying a new house

    I don't live in Canada, I am not one of those PR applicants or PR holders and there are no known Canadian realtors in our part of the world (why even would they be), that's why i was seriously asking: How does one find a realtor willing to sell to 'Non-Canadians'.

    Buying a new house

    Thank you. Let me just say since I don't live in Canada, the problem comes when Canadian real estate agents see a foreign number and hear an 'unfamiliar' accent, they just play hardball with you, and you get nothing out of it except international calling charges. 1) which cities/parts of...

    Buying a new house

    What's the reason? Coz that's where I was leaning towards considering it has more scenic surroundings compared to either Toronto or Montreal and would be good for family life. That's a bit of a personal question but lets just say money is a secondary factor. For me, I would prefer a...
