there is no booming oil economy anymore . It was booming when oil was $140. Now oil is $40 and US (alberta oil's largest customer) is looking for alternative sources. Alberta companies are considering reducing cost, layoffs, shutting down projects that are in early stages to survive. Recession...

from what I have read in other posts, they will not allow to send passports to other visa offices for stamping. Your best bet would be to send it ( via some people you know ) to some contacts in US/ Canada who can do it for you. You can try courier in your home country by telling documents and...

medicare, ss: you will get money only if you stay in uSA. so if you are not a US resident, you will not be eligible.

thanks for sharing. hope they make a decision soon (one way or the other).

assuming you send your papers to Sydney,NS; In FSW category I, you do not need to send passport now. You will have to send passport only after medicals are done.

there is no interview if they are satisfied with your documents. please provide all documents (including originals) per the CIC website for the particular consulate. Otherwise it may delay the process. For me , I applied in the consulate. I had to give an interview as my H1B visa in USA was...

you might be better off sending your passport to a relative/ friend in India who in turn will send it to CIC delhi. You will have trouble in receiving passport from India since courier companies in India check for what document is inside a packet and passports are not allowed to be mailed out...

did you pay processing fees for your wife last time around. I would think so. Then it should be yes since CIC will have record of your (and your wife's) application assuming you were married to her at the time of your previous application.

thanks PMM

I am planning to use same-day service to get a visitor visa to Canada from Canadian consulate at Detroit. 1) Does anyone know if I need an appointment beforehand for Detriot office for same day visitor visa service ? 2) Does other Canadian consulate offices in USa need appointment for same day...

My FSW application for category I ( 38 approved NOC) was returned saying I need to send h1b approval notice. I had send a H1b approval notice but that expires in april. Has similar situation happened to anyone. Any ideas whether they will return it again since my H1B expires in 2 months.

instructions say that you need to add his name in the form whether or not he accompanies you. as a us citizen he can travel to canada on short trips without any visa. however if you are planning to settle down in canada, you may be better off paying in the application now than later. fees $150...

at the very least, call up AINP and talk to them about your situation.

based on trackitt.com, it is 6 months or more from the time application is filed to Buffalo till they will ask for passport. so there is still sometime to go before having the visa on hand if things go well.

my suggestion would be for people who have jobs not to move to a new country this year. let things settle down in a year and then move. every one has high expectations when they move and it will unlikely be met in these times. canada has pretty high unemployment similar to US (7.2%, 7.5% in US)...

For people moving from US , it should not be a big shock. In other forums we have read about professionals from other part of the world becoming blue collar workers , cab drivers in canada etc...

CIC requires transcripts in sealed envelopes. most colleges in india do provide it. regarding birth certificate, affidavit copy signed by parents in front of magistrate or court also works.

yes. call up BOA and ask them whether it is pending or not.

this site tells about who needs visa http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp

it will impact them more if a LMO is required. I would think getting a positive LMO would be difficult if there are so many unemployed people.
