    Transferring Foreign Drivers License After 90 Days

    No problem with doing it when you're ready to do it. It means when you've landed you can only drive on that licence for 90 days, not that you can no longer change it over after the 90 days has passed. My husband, also from UK, converted his after three years of PR. Enjoy the move to BC.

    URGENT | Overstayed Study Permit Due to Suicide Attempt

    My question is why was he suicidal in the first place and what is going to stop that happening again? If he is returning to the same place, doing the same thing with no support in place why will the outcome be any different? Seems like the core issue isn't being dealt with effectively, and once...

    New Requirements for International Students - January 1, 2024

    I agree with what you're saying, but maintain that this step, along with other measures such as having DLIs and shutting down private diploma mills, is an improvement on the status quo and will deter "fake" students and more realistically prepare genuine ones. I don't really want to get into the...

    How to check how many hours one have worked on SIN

    Do you not check you have been paid correctly? It boggles the mind that some people just take no accountability for their own wellbeing. It's not hard to document each week how many hours you work....

    New Requirements for International Students - January 1, 2024

    Step in the right direction. I hope that these measures, along with policies already announced, do something to stem the tide of fake students. It is also beneficial to the genuine students in ensuring they have a more realistic amount of funds to support themselves when they arrive in Canada.

    Termination Due to Gross Misconduct

    As far as I'm aware you don't need to explain anything about the reason you left/were let go. You just have to have sufficient documentation to show you were in that job for the period of time you said you were (10 months) and that it fulfilled the criteria set out with regard to duties/NOC etc...

    Termination Due to Gross Misconduct

    The one year of experience does not need to be in one job. You can count your ten months towards your CEC requirement, but obviously need another couple of months to hit that magic one year point. The fact you were fired from the job does not alter the fact you still gained that experience...

    PNP for airline pilots.

    As has been mentioned, focus on immigrating first. No airline will sponsor you in Canada. However you're fortunate in that Transport workers (including airline pilots) are one of the targeted occupations for Express Entry this year...

    PNP for airline pilots.

    It's under the latest federal scheme for "transport workers". I hope you are aware of the terms and conditions across Canada for pilots. In short, unless you absolutely need to be in Canada for family commitments then don't bother. There are many, many better options elsewhere.

    Student visa denied - any ideas on how i can improve my followup application ?

    Naturgrl, Scylla and Simba have all spelled things out quite clearly and have given excellent information, but I'll attempt to add my tuppence. I am trying to be objective, I lived in the UAE for 10 years so do have some personal insight, so please do not take offence at this: 1) Comparing the...

    No CRS Score for Skill Transferability - Foreign Work Experience

    As already discussed, the work needs to be classed as "skilled" , therefore needs to be NOC 0-3. For CEC, the foreign work experience does not need to be consecutive, and it can be in multiple NOCs (as long as it's 0-3). So, you would have gotten the points but, as Naturgrl mentions, the...

    Funds Available for my Stay in Canada????

    You need to show at least the first full year of funds are available to you. In your example that would be $20,000 tuition plus $10,000 accommodation plus $5,000 miscellaneous = $35,000. In reality, if you have more money then show more money. I think it's safest if you can show your first...

    How do I know my application stage details for study permit?

    Listen to @foodie69 What is it with everyone sending webforms? Just wait your turn like everyone else. The more time they have to spend looking at countless gormless enquiries, the less time they have to spend dealing with the actual applications.

    Can i get braces halfway in its process in canada as international student? whats the cost of braces at toronto area?

    Canada is the most expensive country in the world for dental work. I'm sure that any orthodontist or dentist will be more than happy to continue what you have done in Nepal. I have had traditional braces for one year. Total cost, for just the braces and adjustments, is almost $10,000. You will...

    Ask for updates regarding applications submitted in July.

    Why did you submit three webforms? It currently advises 7 weeks processing. That doesn't include time to get biometrics. When does your husband's course start?

    Carrying funds for landing.

    There are some countries that have very strict limitations on the amount of currency that can be electronically transferred, or are so corrupt that your money is not safe in the bank. My birth country of Argentina being one of them. My brother-in-law is actually flying into Toronto next month...

    My visa was refused

    I understand that they applied before the conference was due to take place, although we don't know how long before, but by the time the decision was made then the conference/event was over. Either way, the event is in the past, so what exactly is the OP asking? What do they actually want?
