Good luck. Extraordinary issues that weren't present at the time the agreement was signed. Imagine you are getting your bathroom renovated. Your contractor quotes you $5K and while it's being gutted, it's discovered that your electrical is all wrong and could potentially cause a fire in your...

No, you need to urgently contact the embassy that issued the visa. They are the only ones who can do anything about it. Sorry but you are probably going to have to postpone your flight until this is corrected.

You should have a retainer agreement wherein the fees you will be responsible to pay are quoted. You should also have invoices/receipts for payments made against the original agreement. Ask the secretary to send you a copy of the retainer and all invoices/receipts to show you the outstanding...

Yes. It's not actually a "hold" but is more just processing time. They get thousands of pieces of mail and online applications everyweek. It takes them a bit of time to get to you. And if they see that you have a file number "sometimes" they will actually hold a bit longer, depends on the...

You fill out Appendix C of the Regional Specific Guide (they are all the same) and give it to the doctor. They will provide you with a receipt that has your picture on it and some information (name, address, etc.). That's the receipt you include in your application. BTW, they are no longer...

Yes.

Yes you can do this. You have to use strategy, applying for the LMO first. If a decision hasn't been reached just prior to the expiry of your WP, you can apply for the WP advising that the LMO is in process. You have to be careful though because if CIC assesses the WP and there is no LMO...

It's a little different for those coming off of a PGWP. Like PMM said, no advertising is required and there's a purpose behind that. The government encourages HRSDC and CIC to allow continued employment of Canadian educated foreign nationals in skill level 0, A or B positions and also...

No. But there's not much to see at this point. Just data like your name, address, etc. It's pass/fail based on strict criteria without any subjective assessment. But it shouldn't take this long and that's the real problem you are experiencing. Based on the information you gave, there...

No, it doesn't, at least not what you were looking at. A PGWP is an open permit. Those are closed and assigned to a particular employer. In any event, unless you fall under one of the NAFTA categories or other specific areas, it doesn't apply to you. Ok, so I wasn't losing my mind! :)

Of course, but what confused me was the question about CIC assessing the job offer. HRSDC will do that in the OP's case. And as soon as the PGWP expires the OP's WP will not be LMO exempt. Perhaps the OP meant to say HRSDC? Maybe it's just me. Been away for awhile and perhaps I'm just fuzzy...

That's why the consultant wants her back in Canada before he/she responds. 8 months is not a visit. It's living.

You will NOT get at visitor visa without ARC. You've been deported from Canada. You require ARC to be able to return here, EVEN as a visitor. So you would have to apply for the Visitor visa and ARC at the same time. You won't get it as they will not believe you will return to Pakistan after...

CAIPS/GCMS will not tell you anything as there is nothing to tell on the PR application. You should contact your MP and get them involved right away.

It's discretionary. The lawyer/consultant requests additional time by way of letter (faxed, emailed, couriered) to CHC. They have to provide reasons for the need for extra time. There is no set format for their reply. I've never requested additional time from Islamabad but for other...

You state that you'll "have to get an LMO" so I don't understand the purpose of your question. LMO exempt means you don't need an LMO to get a WP.

The Canadian Bar Association is not the right place to make a complaint. They must contact the Law Society in the province where the lawyer practices to make a complaint. For Ontario lawyers, it is the Law Society of Upper Canada. The CBA website will have links to all the provincial law...

Are you saying that when you arrived in Canada and landed as a permanent resident, you were married but did not tell the Canadian immigration officers of the change to your marital status from single to married? If so, you cannot sponsor your wife because you did not add herto your PR...

Yes. But why would you need it?

Being a member of the Commonwealth has zero impact on Canadian immigration policy. No preferential treatment. The likelihood of an interview depends on a number of things. First, how well prepared and thorough is your application? Does it take a logical, accurate approach through the...
