To clarify further, and perhaps clear up any misunderstanding, I never suggested that education (whether a Diploma or Degree) was the only requirement for applying under the BC PNP.

Jigzyy, You'll notice that I explicitly differentiated between the BC PNP International Post-Graduate (Pilot) Program and the BC PNP International Graduate Program. They are not the same. Specifically, the Post-Graduate Program is only available to those who complete Post-Graduate (i.e...

No, not yet. I'm currently in my second year of study at Langara College in Vancouver, BC.

Actually, he may in fact be able to apply for PR. In some provinces (including B.C.) he can apply under the PNP program. I'm only knowledgeable about B.C.'s program, so this info is specific to that province. The procedures and qualifications may differ elsewhere. Here in B.C., an...

As scylla stated, unless you're mother can find an employer here in Canada who will not only agree to hire her, but is also willing to apply for an LMO, I think think the likelikhod of your mother accompanying you under terms you describe is minimal. You mention that your parents moved to...

1. What is you home country/nationality? 2. Is mom married/have any other children (aside from you) I hate too be the beared of bad news, but based on the sketchy information in your post, I wouldn't get my hopes up that your plan will become reality. Spouses can accompany international...

Short answer ... yes. I'm a student here in Vancouver as well, also from the U.S. The only difference is that I drove across iat Blaine/White Rock. Once I had the acceptance letter in hand I grabbed a copy of my most recent bank statement (proof of funds) and drove down to the border. Went...

A bit of additional info for you. Your son will NOT require a study permit to attend secondary school, since one of his parents (you) will be on a work permit. However, if he decides to continue studies at the post-secondary level or after reaching age 18 or 19 (varies by province), he will...

An academic year is generally considered to consist of two terms, usually of four months duratrion each. In many of the larger colleges/universities with varied course offerings it is quite possible to complete a two year diploma program in only 16 months, by taking 4 four-month terms back to...

Vancouver is VERY expensive. I live downtown and pay ca. $2700 monthly for a 2 BR condo (includes an extra parking stall in garage), not counting most utilities. Vancouver and surrounding municipalities have great public transit (bus, skytrain). No matter where you reside in the metro area...

Absolutely correct! Many mea culpas. I need to remember not to post after writing 5 finals in 3 days on a combined 4 hours sleep. My sincerest apologies. Do you want to know the most ironic thing of all ... ? My brother in law, is currently visiting us here in Vancouver ... and he has a...

A multi-year visitors visa, whether one-time or multiple-entry, does not exist. TRVs are issued for a maximum of 6 months.

I attend Langara College in Vancouver, which is a public school like BCIT. I actually looked into BCIT as well when I was deciding which school to attend. The tuition prepayment requirement varies from school to school, but I can tell you that Langara College requires (for a student's first...

I believe that appointments are only available for consular services. Consular services are services provided to Canadians that reside or are travelling in forien countries, such as passport renewals, notarizations, etc. Visas and permit applications are on a walk-in basis only. Download and...

App, I'm not totally familiar with U.S. immigration law, but I believe you may have waited a little too long start the process for Canadian study permit. Of the I-20 and F-1, the F-1 is by far the more important. The I-20 is simply a form that the school provides to you that U.S. immigration...

Himuda, Can you please specify exactly which official website you are referring to? In my case, I pull the information directly from the CIC website. To read the specifics doirectly at the source, simply go to the main CIC site, and drill down through the links having to do with the eligibilty...

Why would anyone even seriously contemplate doing something like this??? After all of the hassles, the expenses, and the worrying and waiting that comes with a submission of a PR application, and then actaully being APPROVED for the holy grail of PR, how can someone voluntarily put themselves...

Whether or not a TRV is required (in addition to the Study Permit) is dependent on your citizenship and/or country residence. As you have never specified your nationality (nor your spouse's), I listed all possible fees you might be hit with. If you are a citizen of a visa-exempt nation, then...
