I always wondered how legitimate the 90%+ employment rate claimed by some colleges are. Following a diploma program, many Canadian students go back to school for another two years to get an undergraduate degree, while others take months to find a suitable job. It feels like the super high...

I meant to say the box is sturdy, not the bike:) Depending on the airline and the size of your box, be aware of the possible over-size fees too. It might be easier and cheaper to send bike over using the postal service. Good luck!

Customs, especially at the Vancouver airport, have become very stringent in disallowing plant, animal and other food items. We all do it time to time but it's actually illegal and I would strongly advise against bringing such large quantities as recommended by the OP. Not only do you risk having...

I hope we didn't scare OP or others with the above posts lol. This will be my last post as this has become a little counterproductive. @ J5M, despite what this turned out to be, I am not trying to argue with you. This forum gave me answers to many of my immigration headaches in the past...

http://www.uleth.ca/international/sites/international/files/Applying%20For%20a%20PGWP%20January%202012.pdf If you look on Lethbridge's guide, you'll find contrary information that PGWP can only be applied within Canada:). I really don't think a university's website is an authoritative source...

I recall a post by a South Korean national who tried applying for PGWP outside Canada and was rejected. Since that post, it was my understanding that you can only apply for the PGWP inland. I think it might be worth your time giving CIC a call!

I personally think the OP should be okay with 1111. I work in public practice at a Big 4 firm and we consider our CPA students as equivalent of old CA students. Their job descriptions have not changed at all due to the merger. Also, I can't really see an accountant at a CA firm performing duties...

If you are planning on applying soon, there are no ineligible occupations at the federal level for PNP. That is why many opt for PNP over CEC. I wouldn't care too much over which you choose. I clearly fell under 1111 but it's sometimes not as clear for others. Do you do any audits? Auditors can...

Accountants perform some or all of the following duties:[b] Plan, set up and administer accounting systems and prepare financial information for individuals, departments within organizations, businesses and other establishments Examine accounting records and prepare financial statements and...

Skylla's recommendations/ advices seem very practicable. However, I really think you should consult legal counsel prior to applying for a new work permit or a visitor's permit. The initial 30 minutes of consultation are generally affordable and the cost is quite minuscule compared to permanently...

@ logxy Yes. The OP has been rejected multiple times but he/she didn't share the reason provided by the CIC. Anatalia is merely asking for a missing information. Although I have not been in similar situations, I wouldn't consider $450 spent on a major life choice to be a waste. I can't imagine...

Just one tip, make sure to start your job search few months prior to graduating and up to few weeks prior to the 90-day limit. You should only apply for the PGWP when you land a position and are certain you are not doing a BBA:) It's really surprising how many people forget that you can only get...

What I heard from others was that meeting the "permanent full time" requirement under most PNP programs is most difficult. Jobs offered to international students with limited life work permit are often 1-2 year contract based. If immigration is the OP's eventual goal/plan, I personally think a...

Federal processing time alone is over 13 months.

PNP programs have been becoming more restricted in the recent years. You need a skilled position and a written job offer for Ontario and there is a quota of 2,500. Also, the fee to apply is really high too. Similarly, although Alberta has a higher quota at 5,500, the processing time has...

CEC is one of the only "pass based" immigration program, where most cases PR will be issued if requirements have been met. Although there are other immigration categories, they are far from certain and processing times can exceed many years. Just my 2 cents.

NOC 1221 – Administrative officers NOC 1241 – Administrative assistants NOC 1311 – Accounting technicians and bookkeepers NOC 6211 – Retail sales supervisors NOC 6311 – Food service supervisors NOC 6322 – Cooks Above is a list of ineligible occupations for CEC. I recall you are going into BA...

I am an accountant at one of the big 4 firms and I wanted to share with you my "accounting specific" insights when it comes to the university vs. college debate. First of all, you mentioned that you are interested in courses such as fraud examination. Fraud investigations and audits are work...
