    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    And I know how tough it is in USA, and I know me and my spouse are professionally employed here. Don't tell me fairy tales. Please. I am someone who is on the ground and am aware what the real picture here and there is. There are way too many Canadian PR's, including on this site, who are...

    How long does PRTD takes to get issued!??

    You are PR and you have COPR. They have no right to deny you entry on land crossing. Worst case scenario: they refuse to accept your proof and report you at POE (I don't believe this is going to happen, but let's say it does). If so, then you go to court and show to judge your evidence.

    How long does PRTD takes to get issued!??

    Return to Canada by land and use COPR. Bring all your evidence (of 900 days spent in Canada) with you, so in case you get referred to secondary inspection you can you show you are not in breach of RO.

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    "According to a recent report by CIBC, the recently announced government plans to admit between 53,000 and 55,000 new Canadians in 2013 through an overhauled federal skilled worker program is a welcome development but not large enough to tackle the skilled labour shortage in the Canadian labour...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    What are you talking about? Boot-camp to train and become a software developer? Then why not bring people without education and experience who will do anything and study anything to start from a scratch? Myself and some other members of this forum stated this over and over again: if Canada does...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    Please read what I write and answer questions I ask. And, in my opinion, to approve PR based on "shortage of skilled workers", thEn have PR face a bitter reality of a sperm race for an egg in a highly hostile job market is insidious enough. To blame then latter for "lack of success" is adding...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    FYI, a straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent.

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    You dodged my questions, and I think I know why. You probably work for government or CIC and will get fired if you give me an honest answer. It's ok, Leon. I understand. As to the point you raise: Of course government is responsible for regulating immigration. Are you going to dispute it...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    No, you are completely wrong. You try to put into my mouth your own words, then you address an imaginary opponent. That's called a "straw man argument" and is generally considered a logical fallacy. Read what I write and stop insinuating that your words and conclusions are mine. You are unable...

    PR card renewal Approved, but card stuck in local office :(

    I believe there are many immigrants who attempt to "game the system". This is particularly true for those immigrants who come from countries where obeying the law is not a deep rooted part of culture (countries like Argentina, Mexico or Italy come to mind, but there are many others, especially...

    PR card renewal Approved, but card stuck in local office :(

    Buy a newspaper everyday and take a photo of yourself somewhere in the middle of Toronto (or other city, depending where you live). Should push come to shove you can bring 365 pictures for each year spent in Canada, with visible proof of your presence. On a serious note: I don't know answer to...

    PR just asked for passport - Wedding next month !

    Engagement is not a marriage. Unless they cohabit together there will be no marital or common law relationship between them. Canada recognizes formal marriage and common law marriage only. The above being said, I don't know what will happen if he doesn't send his passport upon request from...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    Leon, what specific question you asked which I did not answer? Please tell me so I know what you refer to. You have so far dodged every single question I asked, instead you make some interpretations of facts I state, and then debate those interpretations at length, once again refusing to give...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    Of course, the employment based immigration must halt (or sufficiently reduced) until the job market is stabilized. No doubt about it. Instead, hundreds of thousands more immigrants are being brought in , and those who can't find a job and forced to leave are stripped of PR status (thus forcing...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    Please read carefully what I write. I did not ask you to share my opinion. I never ask anyone to share my opinion, because it's self evident to me that everyone is entitled to their own. Here is what I asked: Why are they punished for the hostile job market conditions that are not of their...

    PR card renewal Approved, but card stuck in local office :(

    If you have Writ of Mandamus in Canada sue CIC. Summon all the highest officials of CIC to court and have them answer why they don't discharge their duty as they have to. That's what we do in US. If there is a reason to delay processing they MUST explain to the Judge what it is. If they can't...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    Leon, I am not so hopelessly naive as to expect to get a leeway from immigration Canada. For all the practical purposes, I know my PR status in Canada is gone. Even though I still have it, it's just a matter of me next time traveling to Canada before that status will be taken away from me. What...

    Whether a family with children can enter Canada with expired PR Cards through US

    1. Dear msfairi, just as you have points and post your opinion, so do I. One of the recurring things I notice in online debates is that someone will post his or her opinion, you will share yours. And immediately they see an issue, because "this was debated over and over again". Well, if you take...

    PR card had expired - won't apply for TD, can I apply visitor's visa directly?

    Re: PR card has expired - how can we enter canada and get PR re-instated? I don't know what is the objective reason for anecdotal claim that land POE at US border is any better than airport In my personal experience the Land POE is the one that scrutinizes the most, even for no apparent...
