Quick update: This is going much faster than I anticipated, I just received an email asking me for medicals and my interview has been waived. I believe my 3 years of self employed experience under the PGWP in Canada must have played a big part in this getting processed faster. I feel so...

I applied in August 2012 under the self employed stream and got the AOR in September but didn't receive any update till July of this year when they asked me to forward them more documents like proof of self employment docs (registration, pay stubs etc), all my tax docs from 5 years before my...

Thanks for the suggestion SenoritaBella, I believe I read somewhere on this forum the Entrepreneur and Self Employed class were somehow excluded from this program but I will give them a call on Monday to confirm. If it turns out I cannot apply for the bridging open permit, do you think I should...

Hello all, I have a few questions regarding filling out the Application to Change/ Extend Stay in Canada as a Worker. A bit of background: - Currently on PGWP ending end of May. - LMO sent in and being processed for a new work permit. - Applied for Self Employed Permanent Residence in 2012...

I could finally send you a private message after reaching 10 posts. Check your inbox. Sorry for going off topic guys.

ihabkal, have you applied under self employed too? I filed my application on August 23 2012 and received the AOR today, Sep 7, now being passed on to CCP Ottawa. (Sorry, I didn't mean to disrupt the May 2012 applications thread flow. Just wanted to see if anyone else out there went in under...

Hi all, I'm under a valid Post Grad Work Permit but I need to renew my TRV to be able to visit family abroad. I'm in the process of filling the IMM5257E forms and I'm stumped for one part (Details of visit to Canada). Since I am working here in Canada as a self employed person, do I need to...

You actually get a T4 slip (are you sure it's not T4A?) and you work in an office environment, to me it does not sound like a self employed situation but don't take my word for it. I think just by having your T4 ready it's a substantial plus. I'd ask the others around here they seem to be more...

Thank you. Dunno if I should post this here but I sent a letter to the people at (incaninc) yesterday in the hopes of getting more info on the matter and here's a reply I got a few moments ago: Quote: "Hi Victor, Many thanks for your email and your kind words that help motivate us more ...

After some searching it looks like the self employed class would be most suitable for me although I'd have to wait an extra year. At first I misunderstood their term "cultural activities" and ignored that option but it seems like my profession, visual artist / graphic designer somehow fits under...

His story is a little bit different from mine. It looks like he actually created and managed his own business as an individual whereas I have been working practically as an employee in an office environment using the company's own equipment. I'll keep my hopes down but I'll still do some further...

Hello all, Just giving an update on my situation. I went ahead and called the call center and proceeded to give an explanation of my situation and the person replied that my experience as a full time contractor still counts, as long as my profession was listed in the NOC (which it is) and that...

Hi everyone, I've been reading the forum for a while now but I am still a little bit confused about certain requirements regarding the PR application. I'll explain my situation first. I've been in Canada for 4 years now. I'm still in Canada and have not left for home ever since. I arrived here...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Glad I do not have to be stressed anymore :) So I do not have to send it to Nairobi?(Visa office bound to be country, Mauritius) I can just send it to the closest visa office outside of Canada? I was not sure as I thought I read elsewhere that for a renewed TRV I...

Hello all, I have recently completed my studies and received my diploma. I applied for a Post Grad Work Permit and got it. What I am worried about is the plastic sticker VISA inside of my passport (Im confused about whether it's the TRV or not) where it says that it expires on the 31st of...
