If you have just submitted your application, you would not get your request for the CHC yet. When the CHC starts requesting ALL your supporting documents, such as employers' letters, payslips, bank account statements, etc., they would request copies of your certificate of no criminal...

What if she returns and stays for 3 years, can she apply for Canadian citizenship rather than a renewal for the PR? She admits she was complacent about being able to stay in the US. She thought she was able to get a green card there until she got laid off. She was fresh out of college and I...

So basically if she tries to enter Canada and immigration doesn't stop her, and she stays in Canada for 2 years without leaving, she can renew her social insurance card What happens if they do catch her at the Canadian border? How does Canadian immigration catch her anyway? When I enter Canada...

I forgot to mention that she already has her PR card and SIN card. Will she still be asked to leave Canada? what's going to happen to her if she decides that she wants to remain in Canada?

My entire family landed in Toronto in 2005 although they did not move there until about April 2007. Right after they landed in 2005, my sister got a job as an architect in New York and decided that she would rather stay in NYC than Canada. However she got laid off in June 2009 and after a few...

I also forgot to mention that my aunt (whom I went to with CHC today) asked them to expedite the passport return, and they told her that the only way that they would do it is if she produced an air ticket. So if anyone needs their passport fast i guess buy a refundable ticket and show it to them...

I have a friend who's at the Business school at the University of Western Ontario, which I've heard has the best business program in Canada. She tells me that most of the professors do not have Ph.D.s, some don't even have Masters degrees, but they have tons of real-life experience (15-20 years)...

You are responsible for any taxes. If the shipper includes a receipt or declares the value (as they would with UPS), customs will know the exact value of the goods. UPS is very good at declearing and charging those taxes, and sometimes it can amount to more than the 12-14% charged by your...

I sent in my RPRF on Sep 6, and medicals were done Sep 10, probably sent in by the doctor on Sep 11. I got my PPR yesterday in a letter dated October 15. So about 5 weeks. Through Singapore office. Under Federal Skilled worker.

It depends on what type of Ph.D. A student with 1st of 2nd upper honours degree from Australia can go straight into a 3-year Ph.D. program. A lot of American universities do not recognise Australian Ph.D.s because they bypassed the Masters degree. It was one reason I chose not to continue my...

Forgot to mention my timeline since I have all my documents in front of me: Short form application submitted: Sep 8, 2008 Additional Materials Requested: Feb 28, 2009 Additional Materials Submitted: April 28, 2009 Right to Permanent Residence Fee + Medicals + Australian Police Check Requested...

GOT MY PPR! I just got my PPR today, letter dated october 15, 2009! I'll be bringing my passport in person on Monday to get it stamped. From what I've read in the forums it takes about 3 working days. I did not expect it so fast especially with the Canadian thanksgiving last week and all hari...

Are PRs allowed to work in Government Jobs in Canada? Specifically the federal government. I know many government offices in other countries employ only citizens because of the nature of the work. In some other countries like the PRs can work in jobs where the matter handled by the agency...

Well I was hoping at some point to go back to the States again, after getting Canadian citizenship, and hopefully getting dual citizenship with the US and Canada. I'll probably hold on to the Singapore one as long as I am allowed to because getting US citizenship is a huge process in itself...

I don't really like Vancouver too much, mainly because it feels a lot like Asia. I don't remember how to speak or write Chinese anymore so I don't know how well I'd get along there. One of the reasons I wanted to leave Singapore is that I felt that it's too materialistic, and unfortunately it's...

I have a Canadian bank account with CA$10,000 inside, and I borrowed S$100,000 from my aunt and left it in my Singapore bank account for 2 months to show them proof of funds. I showed them the statements from both months. If you have a place to borrow the money, in whatever currency, just borrow...

Hi Tran, glad to hear of the progress in your application. It's been 3 weeks since my medicals and the Canadian High Commission should have received the records from my Australian police check by now. The doctor I went to said if there's no response within 2-3 weeks, the medicals should've gone...

I have actually recently registered my US-registered car in Canada. I was living in Michigan and had to leave and wanted to move my car to Ontario, Canada. I had it registered in my father's name because I don't yet have any status in Canada. Basically you will have to contact an import agent...

No, I was never even asked to submit my IELTS. I got my Bachelors and Honours from Australia and Master and Ph.D. from the U.S. and at the time of the application was a professor at a US university for 8 years. I also sent in my O and A level certs where I had A1 for English and General paper...
