    PR status after winning the appeal

    I simply do not get why people go through all the troubles of becoming a PR and soon after bugger off again somewhere else. Missing valuable days, weeks, months it takes to remain a PR, then having issues later on. Why not COMMIT to Canada and stay? Earn your residency by contributing to this...

    Did not do it in Montreal, but took me and my wife roughly 20 minutes to get everything. No waiting. Did it early afternoon, the week we got to Vancouver. Good luck

    How to Succeed in the Canadian Job Market ? [for a New Immigrant]

    I used that service to have my cover letter and resume re written to the Canadian standard. They did not help me find a job, it is not an employment agency. We are perfectly fine here, fully integrated and adapted to life, yes, I am working full time. Got a job 3 weeks after landing, so did...

    FSW's: If you can still afford it, don't get a survival job!

    Well, I also got a job within 3 weeks of being here in my field of expertise (actually two, one was part time) No problem at all. Only 20 percent of jobs are regulated, if yours is within, then obviously the market is tough. If not regulated, the world is your oyster.

    Canadian Experience​ - a systemic unfair employment barrier to new comers

According to the stats provided, I belong to the 3 percent that work in their field of expertise with good money.
