No. There is no direct path to PR based strictly on education, regardless of how long a program of study is. Essentially, all current immigration streams, aside from family or refugee, require the PR applicant to have either 1) one year or longer of full-time (or part-time adjusted equivalent)...

It all depends on which provinces & states are applicable. I too lived in many states before arriving in BC (at age 51), and I brought no abstracts at all. I simply drove to the nearest ICBC office, handed them my valid Washington state DL and $75, and drove away 15 minutes later with a shiny...

Actually, Douglas College main campus is in New West. There's a satellite campus in Coquitlam. You're right about it being farther than 25 mins to downtown, though (though I've come close to that during off-peak hours ... straight shot down Marine Drive, then up Cambie ... or even via Trans...

You mention that the invitation letter will include wording to the effect that you'll pay for his return flight, which implies he intends to arrive on a one-way ticket. That would be a huge mistake, and a giant strike against your chances for approval.

It isn't necessarily just the length of time you spent studying, but also the number of courses/credits you enrolled in during those two 4-month terms. Just as importantly, did you pass all of those courses? Example: if you enrolled in three courses/9 credits each term, you would have earned...

Give people time to read your inquiries. When someone who feels knowledgeable to respond to your inquiries has had a chance to read and mull over them, you'll most likely receive the responses you seek. Also keep on mind the time zone deferential. Many experts may only check these message...

Another option you may have that would result in an immediate G2: You mentioned that you drove for two years in the US, albeit a few years ago. Depending on which state it was, you may be able to reinstate/renew that license, then simply do a one-for-one swap to an Ontario license. Even if you...

It depends on your status. If you're simply visiting (as a tourist) then yes, its valid for up to 90 days in most provinces. If you are new PR, or on a work or study permit, then you must get a license from your province within 30 or 60 days, depending n the province. Most people misunderstand...

To comment, need a lot more info. Specifically, a) Do you have an existing DL? b) Where was it issued? c) How long have you been licensed? d) How old are you? e) What is your status in Canada (PR/Study Permit/Work Permit/Extended Visitor/etc.)? ... a LOT depends on the responses to these questions.

The Canadian Citizenship Act clearly states that anyone born in Canada is a Canadian citizen, unless one (or both) parents hold diplomatic status. Even in this case, if one or both parents later apply for PR, the child will then be considered (retroactively) a Canadian citizen by birth. Some of...

The BIG question is, are you an American citizen? If yes, you won't need medicals, police checks, and can get the study permit at the border. If you're not a US citizen, the process becomes more involved. Prior to beginning my studies, I lived in Washington only a few miles from the border...

In your second post you mention "My Financial Aiod Office ..." Exactly what financial aid office are you referrining to here? What school here in Canada will you be attending? From your posts, it appears you may not be 100% clear on the entire process. In a nutshell (as DBSS pointed out) the...

You didn't explicitly say so but I'm assuming you're a US citizen as well. Simply accompany your new spouse to the nearest port of entry. Since you're already a student, you'll need the following documents for you/her: 1) your original study permit 2) both passports (yours and hers) 3)...

If you were legally in Canada (as a PR) for ten years and have only been absent from the country for about a year then you are still a PR of Canada, even if your PR card is no longer valid. If this is the case, you just need to apply for a travel document from the nearest Canadian embassy or...

Yes, my SSA Disability award letter (and a few recent monthly bank statements showing that a matching amount was being reularly deposited) were part of my submission. I provided the same evidence for my U.S. Army Retirement Pay and VA Disability Payments. Incidentally, I also did not have to...

What you are asking is to have someone in this forum commit fraud on your behalf. I believe that the vast majority of those here are honest and will be quite offended by your request. All questions of morality and honesty aside, why would any of us here in Canada, many of whom have worked for...

I forgotr to mention that my approved extension arrived in the mail EXACTLY 3 days after the processing time estimate passed (when I applied, the wait was 52 days and I received the permit on day 55).

Did you apply online or by mail? According to the CIC Processing Time Web Site, the processing of Study Permit and Extension applications is currently taking an average of 29 days for applications submitted on paper, and 28 days if submitted online. They are currently working on applications...

In post #2, above.

You do NOT necessarily need to show large balance if you have a steady guaranteed income. I was/am in the same boat as you...no big bank balance but steady income. I'm retired from the U.S. Army and in addition to my monthly Army Retirement Pay check also receive monthly checks for Social...
