Thanks computergeek! So were you technically under implied status at the time of your confirmation interview? Did you bring a copy of the application receipt in lieu of a valid work permit? It seems silly to me that CIC would care about my work permit expiring 5 days before the confirmation...

Just received letter in mail today informing me & wife to attend an interview for confirmation in July! Application was made in June 2013, medical was in March 2014. One thing that has me worried a bit is that my current visa (postgraduate work permit) expires 5 days before the interview. Would...

Thanks for the link, Korea2Canada. Unfortunately, none of those cases apply to me. I moved to Canada with my mother in 1999, as a last-ditch escape from my abusive father, but she shortly went back to Korea because he had cancer and someone had to look after my sister. I've stayed in Canada...

Hi, MadeinCanada (I almost wrote China), thanks for responding. They won't renew it past the current valid date, generally they don't issue passports that are valid for longer than the travel permit. That's a really vital point about outland application and interviews... I suppose that puts it...

Since my graduation, I've been earning a living as a freelance writer. I have worked on contract in office/corporate environment, but I don't think that qualifies me for the CEC. I did not know about one being able to put in an outland application while residing in Canada. I will look that up...

Thanks for the reply, Rob-To. Good to know about the criminal record. I had the check done via local police couple weeks ago, which came back clean. Only if I could argue my case with common sense! I've lived in Vancouver for the past 14 years, have a elementary and high school diploma from...

Hi Canadianwoman, thanks for the response. No, I won't be seized as long as I return before the end of the April. I will be notified to have my physical exam if I stay in Korea for longer than a few weeks, after which they'll assign me a date to report to the training camp. If I get the...

Hi SenoritaBella, Thanks for the response. 1. Yes, and that is one of the reason why I'm reluctant to go back. 2. I don't believe there is a equivalent crime, because military service in Canada is voluntary. 3. Because it only grants 1 year, and since it's unlikely I would receive PR in that...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some experiential/legal advice here. Our situation's a bit complex, so I'll try my best to lay out the facts as plainly as I can. I am: A South Korean male, 26 years old. I have have been living in Canada since 1999, on study permit from 1999 to 2011, and...

First off, please refrain from making casual judgments on my person based on quick observation. To clarify, Refugees and Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds are separate classes. I need advice on the latter. I am NOT seeking to apply for refugee status. The CIC website lists a few...

Anyone familiar with these? I would appreciate advice on whether I have grounds for applying for PR this way. So here's my situation, in fact-form: I've been in Canada for the past 12 years as an international student, from the age of 12. I'm graduating from a 4-year university in May...

Yes. I came with my mother, who then had to return to Korea. Ah, it sucks that co-op won't count toward CEC. The worst of it all is the international tuition, which has been slowly sucking the life out of me over the years.

I've been an international student in Canada since 1999. Graduated elementary, middle, and high school in Vancouver. Currently going to UBC, graduating with a BA in 2011. 16 months of full time work experience via co-op. No family in Canada. South Korean citizen. Am I eligible for PR?

So, I've been an international student in Canada since 1999. Graduated elementary, middle, and high school in Vancouver. Currently going to UBC, graduating with a BA in 2011. No family in Canada. South Korean citizen. It has always seemed silly to be that I can't become a PR in Canada despite...
