    A few (more) questions!

    Do you mean physically surrender the VR, if yes, can you point me at a link for this please? There is nothing on my VR that mentions surrendering the document, it does however have an expiry date.

    Is there any difference applying thru agent and by own??

    Yes, the agent will cost you money and if you do it, it will cost you time. In most cases, applying yourself is the best way to go (with the help available here, it is not that hard to do). All I would say is if you have an abnormal set of circumstances you may need help. But in my opinion...

    DMP concerns.

    There is a lot of confusion out there amongst DMP's, certainly when visitors to Canada want to get a medical for an outland PR application. I posted a couple of questions here because after two phone calls to the same DMP office, I got different answers...

    Extending Visitor Visa - Restoring Status

    If you are allowed to extend your visa, then yes, you can reapply to extend again, and if an extension is granted - again, and again, until refused. But if you are refused an extension, typically you have to leave the country (what I would suspect as no status to stay). I would suggest that...

    Extending Visitor Visa - Restoring Status

    I doubt that sending in a second application would work, as they would have made a decision.

    Question about Photos and Medical in Canada

    I am based in Ottawa: Has anyone got any recommendations for a photographer / Photo' company in Ottawa that knows how to take the "official" immigration pictures correctly? Also, I will be taking a medical in Ottawa (for an outland PR application). I see that on Appendix C there is a note...

    Can you "work" as an unpaid intern?

    We all know that as a visitor you cannot legally work in Canada. My question is, would this exclude "working" as an unpaid intern. The role has been advertised as unpaid (and no job would be available after the three month period). The benefits are, less boredom while waiting for PR in...

    visiting my husband

    Would that include something like being an unpaid intern for 3 or 4 months? BTW I have a VR that states "Prohibited from attending any educational institution and taking any academic, professional or vocational training course."

    Wants to visit friends

    What country are you based in? How long do you intend to stay? If you are on a business trip to find suppliers, that is a valid reason to visit Canada as "a business visitor", but you still need to be able to show you can meet all the criteria set out by Canadian immigration. They want to be...

    URGENT !!!! DEBIT CARD/CREDIT CARD

    Many of the UK cards actually carry a visa card logo, these cards work just like a visa card. If you are worried about this, confirm it with your bank. If you make the payment online, you will know soon enough if the payment has cleared.

    Eu Citizen currently living in Canada

    When you return, you will (like everyone) have to prove that you will leave the country and satisfy all the other requirements as a visitor to Canada (enough money etc). I guess the issue is that a POE who sees your history may not let you back in, as you now have a visitor record it is very...
