Hello Civic14, I'm sorry to hear about your baby's situation. If your Visitor Visa expires in December and your baby's health has improved, you could go to Italy and seek medical attention there (since your wife has italian citizenship). Responding to your questions, Scylla has summarized it...

Hello renatumb, ....I think mead is right, the COOP work experience should count towards your degree and be related to the field of study. That's the only time that you could work more hours. Something to keep in mind is that if you work off-campus more than what you're allowed to, eventually...

hello all, I know the terminology can be confusing. Below is the definition as per CIC's website: Temporary resident permit -A permit that may be granted in exceptional circumstances to a person who does not meet the requirements of Canada’s immigration law to enter or remain temporarily in...

hi Marsail, I answered your question in the other thread: Open Work Permit TRP is not the same as TRV. The labour market in Canada is very competitive, you need good English skills to succeed. Your husband can come as a Visitor to study English as a Second Language but he must leave once the...

hello Marsail, I think you misread, the website states under OWP that you qualify if: 5.You have a temporary resident permit valid for at least six months. ...a TRP, not a TRV (visitor visa). Below is what CIC website defines as TRP: "If you are otherwise inadmissible but have a reason...

.....so what is your question?

hello cocoduro, Based on what you're saying, it seems that you're more preoccupied about continuing to work than being a student. In fact, it seems you're only considering changing your status from worker to student so you can work off-campus and also get your wife a Spousal Open Work Permit...

hello KRIS91, In order for you to work (being a foreign student), you first must be enrolled in school and actively pursuing your studies, that will make you eligible to work part-time during the academic year and full-time during class breaks. It makes no sense that CIC would hand out study...

Hi, as far as I've read, it's not that simple to switch from a closed to an open work permit. As a Provincial Nominee, if your current closed work permit is about to expire in 4 months, you can apply for a Bridging Open Work permit. This will allow you to change employers as you wait for your...

hello jerome1989, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I would advice that you contact a reputable immigration lawyer with experience in this type of situation. The rule says that if you let your study permit expire, you have 90 days to restore it and you should "stop" studying until you...

I would add, don't get married if "it's not ideal". If you want to give it a try and live together first, you could come to Canada as a Visitor for 6 months (and earn your money as a self-employed remotely, as per Scylla's comments) and then determine if marriage is what you both want. Good luck!

Hello stayincanada, canuck_in_uk is right and I know this situation can be confusing. However, you can restore your work permit (see below). * if you applied for an extension of your work permit "before the expiry date", you are considered under Implied Status. You can continue working under...

She doesn't need an OWP. If she's granted a working holiday visa, she can work for one year under the IEC program.

hi, Halifax is a great city, especially in the summer, however jobs are not easy to find. It depends on your educational background. I would suggest you explore Workopolis.com and Careerbeacon.com before moving there so you know what to expect. Good luck!

hello ann75, Provincial Nominee applicants (PNP) typically receive their Medical request upfront (right after receiving the acknowledgment letter), their PR process is much faster. In your case, it seems you applied for Federal Skilled Worker (federally) so your Medical request will happen...

hi all, Actually that's a good point (buying a home if you have temporary status?); I have to agree with Rob_to. I knew someone with a temporary status who tried to buy a home in Canada, this person had a lot of money in a bank outside of Canada but that was not enough for the banks to approve...

hello barber1, As previous posters mentioned, there are different PR programs to which foreigners can apply from outside Canada. Some of them have visited Canada at some point and some have not but they've done their research and heard about the quality of living. One advantage I see with...

hello biz, ...do what you have to do in order to protect the integrity of the Canadian immigration system. Illegal working hurts everyone (Canadians, residents and new comers who are making huge efforts to fit in and make a living). Also, it's very likely that this "employer" hiring illegal...

hello kwinwal, what is PCC? ....in the meantime, for your questions: 1) your daughter is in India but if you included her as a dependant in your PR application, CIC will ask you to have her medical exams done too. If you specified in your application that she's in India, CIC should provide you...

Hello chetankumar, It's very unfortunate that you lost your Canadian PR but just remember that PR is a privilege that also comes with obligations. You were given an opportunity to make Canada your home and for whatever reason you didn't. Canada cannot accept everyone, the immigration system is...
