Why wouldn't she want to do the LMO? Is that a bad thing?

Ok - friend got here from the UK and has her work permit in her passport....the payroll firm seem happy to proceed with the work permit but I just want to make sure she doesn't need a SIN?? I've looked online and can't see anything saying that she needs it - anybody been through this before??

Hi there, coming from the UK on the IEC and need travel insurance. There are so many options and I just want to make sure I'm getting the right thing so that I don't get turned away when I get to Canada. Does anybody have any ideas, ecommendations etc?

Hi PMM, yes I had read that which is the reason for my question.... I know they're having difficulty with the 8 week turnaround for step one but there is no real mention of step two. I've heard stories of some people getting a response within as little as 4 days and others having to chase...

Rec'd letter saying "congrats you meet the criteria and have been conditionally accepted". So then have to send GBP 90 and send in the IMM1295 form. All looks good and very happy but then at the bottom it says that the form will be reviewed by the Visa section.....and if it gets refused, a...

Hoping somebody might be able to help......The High Commission website shows that there are 5,350 spaces for the IEC each year and unfortunately those are already taken up and the notice on the website says they are not accepting any new applications. I have a very good friend/business...

Nic - happy "Canaversary". We had ours back in March - fantastic feeling eh?!

Steve - you will be coming to Canada as a visitor and will hopefully be granted a 6-month visitors permit. The Border control can turn you away or limit your stay if they have any concerns that you might not leave. If you haven't filed anything BEFORE you cross the border, it should be...

Thanks scylla! Sometimes you can't see for looking! Much appreciated. :)

I'm sure there is something on here somewhere but can anybody tell me if you can get the "working holiday visa" for Canada? I know it's an option for people going to the UK (an ex-bf of mine got one) but can Brits get one to come to Canada if they want to work for a year and travel the country...

Bluesteam - thanks for your help! It does make sense but I just wanted to be sure before sending everything off that I was doing it right!! Cheers! dish

Hey, not sure if anybody can help me or not but thought this was the most appropriate place to post with all the Brits. ;) My hubby and I got approval earlier in the year and he officially landed in August (yay!). We just got married and I let my UK passport expire as it seemed silly to renew...

So....it's been a LONG time since I posted anything on here but life has certainly been busy. We were super lucky with a quick processing time out of London England and after only 103 days got the approval. We got married in August this year in the UK so my 'husband' (still get a kick out of...

Thanks you guys.....and fprince, super helpful!!

Yay! So as long as he's got the stamp thing in his passport a one way ticket is ok! Awesome! Didn't want to buy it until I knew it'd be ok. Sweet!

Hey guys, we've got everything processed and got my partners passport back. He's already in Canada on a visitors visa.....we're going to officially 'land' when we get back from the UK in August. Has anybody had any problems landing? We want to buy a one-way ticket back but wasn't sure if...

Exciting times ahead..... I went to London on business a couple of weeks ago and dropped off my boyfriend's passport (annoyingly the CDN High Commission is only open Thursdays from 2 - 3!). His Mom is picking it up this Thursday and sending it to us and we'll look at heading out of the country...

Alie, congrats to you too! Looks like lots of good news coming out of the London office lately!!! I was the same when I got mine....had the "!" on the subject line from my immigration lawyer and my heart just dropped because I thought maybe there was a problem or my fellah would have to go in...

AKGAZ, congrats!!!! It took almost a week for our Ecas to be updated. I got the notification from our immigration lawyer and immediately logged on to Ecas only to see "application received". One week to the day later, it now says "decision made". Probably the best feeling in the world!

Thanks AKGAZ!!! It was such a good day and I still get a bit teary when I think of how lucky we've been! I'm off to the UK on Friday so will drop my fellah's passport in on the Thursday following so it's only a 2 week wait instead of the 6 - 8 that everybody else has been reporting! Fingers...
