Two questions here: the first one, am I right that ECAS is no longer going to have the line 'transferred to local office' (or whatever they write for that)? Looking at the online explanation when I check my status, it says now that 'in process' = 'transferred to local office'. If this is...

Don't worry about the AOR yet -- many people from June have not received one. Even if CIC has an issue with your refugee status, they won't use that to not acknowledge your application, any examination of that will come later. As for the rest, I can't comment -- but I suspect that if your PR...

You should also take into account the extremely high cost of living in the Yukon, and the extra cost of traveling to Whitehorse.

The critical thing for you at this point is to understand that you MUST add your child to your application: there is a form for this, find it and fill it out and submit it to CIC. At the same time, send them your passport. Include a letter saying that you are adding a newborn child to the...

I don't think that this could be a formal issue -- the requirements for citizenship are totally divorced from things like this, and the Citizenship Officer does not, I believe, have the right to refuse your application because of a provincial matter. Both CIC and the provinces have better...

You don't 'work with' CIC -- you report your fraudulent spouse, they possibly investigate, if they investigate they possibly involve you as a witness, but you actually have no standing in the process. You won't be told by them what happens, or why they did or did not take any action.

And just a suggestion -- people who have ideas like this generally ARE in fact interested in a fake marriage leading to PR. No one who has traveled extensively would ever think that getting married to make it easier to travel in a single country would work; but someone who is interested in...

Extremely good, once you're full time in the public system. This caused me some initial trouble when I came here, since in the US we tend to judge whether a salary is acceptable or not based on teachers; if you're earning as much as a teacher, it's not enough.

I don't know if a PGCE is a teaching certificate or not, but before you make any plans on teaching, you had better have your qualifications evaluated by the Province of Ontario to make sure you're qualified. Then, if they do qualify you, you can apply for registration -- but once you're...

Promising an immigration officer to return is useless, and probably counterproductive. The way to satisfy them is for your course of study to fit in well with your past, your interests, and your plans. It shouldn't look like a kamikaze mission in which you are burning all of your resources and...

Different programs have different prices. This idea of choosing to study anything to get into Canada doesn't work very well -- the people who get visas are the ones who can demonstrate that their course of study fits with their overall life, education, and career. Canadian schools have a...

What you have to do is decide WHAT you want to study, and then compare the different colleges and universities that offer that. They can vary quite greatly in price, but not every school offers the same curriculum, so there is no point in simply talking about them in the abstract. In general...

Well, the prisoner has a much more intense and complicated ongoing relationship with Canada . . .

What it probably means is that you did something -- cross a border, apply for a new PR card -- that gave CIC a reason to investigate whether you've maintained your PR status. Everyone who is a PR remains that way until their PR status is tested -- and then when it's tested, CIC will either...

This is not an authoritative answer, but I don't think it matters -- if your PR status is being investigated, then the worst thing that can happen at the border (being flagged for PR status investigation) is already happening. If the investigation hasn't been concluded, then you're still a PR...

My application went into processing on July 21st -- we received AOR on June 22nd. No other information on ECAS.

Well, that's because I don't know anything about the issue of Ontario in particular. In general, the price of 'green' energy has been dropping greatly, which is what you'd expect with the amount of research going into it. Why Ontario's energy prices are high I don't know, I'm sure that it has...

The one above -- when I saw it before, it must have mis-loaded, or been edited by you; it looked like what you wrote was attributed to me.

Ok Ok, I'm just making fun of the idea of Trudeau is a Party leader . . . Of course the griping about troops on the streets or whatever about Harper is silly -- I think that by far the greatest objection to him (that I know of) is his introduction of US style campaignin/governing style; but the...

I'm trying to figure out how this is scary. Is it because . . . . . . if the Liberals win the election, Trudeau will jail the politicians of other parties and rule forever as a dictator? That seems unlikely. . . . Trudeau will build vast concrete cities on the Prairies and force the rural...
