Hi All, Here is the situation, CDN citizen married to a USA citizen living overseas for 3 years in Middle East. They had a son while they were there. They have since moved back to Canada and are in the process of spousal sponsorship from outside Canada. They applied for citizenship certificate...

So how do many immigration law firms pretty much guarantee a work permit when you provide the job offer? For the right price, it seems like if you have a legitimate job offer they will do 'the rest".

How does an employer prove no one else could be found for the role? And where must the employer advertise? Is a local paper enough? What if many people respond to the ad but the employer does not think they are qualified for the position? Or perhaps nixes prospective employees in order to save...

Hey Folks, Would appreciate some help here. Have no experience with work permits and was asked to help a couple who run a long term care facility here in Canada on how they can bring their son who is living in the USA to come work here temporarily for them. Their Daugher in-law (who is CDN)...

Wow. ok. Thanks!

Can he travel in the meantime? If his temporary visa expires July 4th, can he travel to and from Canada in mid June or will they give him a hard time on re-entry?

Got it. Thanks for the help.

Ok folks, need some help here. LIC was waiting for his PR visa and did not submit additional request documents because he did not receive the two request letters from CPC. He changed addresses and his mail was not forwarded. After 2 request from CPC, they refused the PR application and ordered...

I believe it only took 3 days.

Great News CVers! I created a new account and made a new request and this time it appeared! Mind you, I had to sign into the account and click on "MY Foia Requests" to access it. The first time, I'm guessing my friend made the request without creating an account and therefore even after...

Im trying to send a screen shot of the FOIA website when I search for the records but I dont know how to insert pictures. Anyone? In any case, under "Request Details" the blue circle is at closed. The closed date was March 27, 2015. It says a partial grant/partial denial under "final...

So my friend never created an account. He made a request without one. Now when you search the CBP number The request says "closed" and says it could only partially be released. What does this even mean?

CanV, He already made a request to CBP back in December of 2014 and this is what he received back, "A search of CBP databases produced records responsive to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request CBP-2015-010835. CBP has determined that the responsive records are partially...

Oren, Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm under the impression that a U.S. citizen (which my friend is) can't get an I-94 report?

I see there are already some threads discussing certain aspects of the Entry and Exit Report but I can't seem to find one that gives the basic from step 1. I have never even heard of an entry and exit report but a friend of mine just asked me to help him obtain one. CIC apparently asked for...

She will probably visit her family back in the USA before the 6 months are up. But what should she tell the CBSA agents when she enters back into Canada on each visit? She is visiting her husband and child? What if she travels with them? Can they all go in the same line? Is there anything to be...

Question, I am helping with an outland spousal sponsorship for a relative. The husband is Canadian and the wife is US citizen. They just moved back to Canada from the USA. They have one child from their marriage (who will have dual citizenship). I know that the advantage to Outland is that...

So how can lawyers charge $3000 to get me a work permit? All they are really doing is filling out the paperwork? The job offer is for me to find. The LMO is for the employer. What does the lawyer actually do?
