Hi - we were contemplating relocating to BC last year (husband is healthcare prof & was interviewing for jobs) - however, we decided not to do it at that time due our our house not selling. We just put our house back on the market and may have a potential buyer and now again we need to decide if...

I want to start the application process but am wondering if it is faster to get a job first and go through the provincial nominee program or just do the skilled worker application instead just to get it started. If I apply as a skilled worker and get a job offer, can I switch over to the...

I do not smoke...but was wondering how you could fool a medical doctor and blood tests/hair tests if you are a smoker? Smokers usually have tell tale signs that they smoke (smell like cigarettes, yellowed fingers and teeth, wrinkes around mouth, smokers cough, etc). Not sure what sort of tests...

Just wondering if it is possible to stay in Canada as a visitor (up to 6 mos) after submitting your skilled worker PR application? Can you tell immigration at the border that you have applied or would they deny you access and just tell you to go back and wait in the US (I'm a US citizen).

Any nurse managers (leaders) out there from the US who have recieved positions in nursing management in BC? I am wondering how difficult it is for people to get RN and nurse management positions.

Not sure if I would qualify under the business visitor program or not. I am a US citizen looking to relocate to BC. I work for an American company (work from home - telecommute). What would be the best way to move to BC? If I am able to go in as a business visitor, what are the challenges of...

I am curious about others experiences entering Canada as a US citizen under the NAFTA requirements where you have your job offer in hand and supportin documenting and applying for initial work permit at the border/time of entry. As I understand it, no sponsorship is required. Has anyone went...

We have two years left on a lease for one of our cars that we would like to take to BC with us (but not sure if we can even do that or perhaps we purchase the car outright before going to CA). Also, our other car is financed...how are people dealing with that? Are insurance rates much higher...

Hi - what would be the fastest way to get into BC as an RN (over 10 years experience in specialty care and ICU)? We thought we would go about applying for perm residency through the skilled workers visa program, but now I am thinking it might be better to apply through the Provincial Nom...

I was also confused about this and I think it is a good idea to provide proof of payment on the second set that gets sent to Buffalo.

I am curious as to why you would worry about step-siblings? You are only related by marriage, not adoption or by blood so I am curious as why you would worry about this. I thought the purpose of listing family members on your application was in case you decided to sponsor them after you are...

How many years are you supposed to go back in your job history? The reason I am asking, is I am not sure I can get reference letters from all my previous employers. Both my husband I fall into the skilled worker job categories (nurse/nurse manager). If they only want a year of work...

Sometimes my blood pressure actually goes up when I go into the doctor! Ha ha. What about weight? I am about 45 pounds overweight since having my daughter 2 years ago (having a hard time getting the additional weight off). I have no other health problems and am healthy otherwise. Has anyone...

On my question about the Buffalo office, I actually just noticed on the web site for skilled workers that you mail your application to the Centralized Intake Office (for skilled workers) in Nova Scotia and not the immigration office of your country of residence. I wonder if processing times are...

I noticed on the first form I just started filling out that it asks for passport info for spouse and dependents. We have toddler and do not yet have a passport for her (we are from the US). Is it necessary to have her passport first before applying or can I use her birth certificate? I just...
