Hi all, I'm Greek and I'm doing my phd in Ontario. I am a teaching assistant and research assistant, and I have some scholarships, so I have income in Canada and I fill my taxes every year. I've been here for about 5 years on a study permit. Question 1: I fill taxes here, I rent an...

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I should be able to easily prove that my master's was 2 years. I think that since I have all my documents ready, I'll try to apply with the new system. Question: If I leave my documents with a friend here in Canada and ask him to send them in the office here...

Hi, Usually the cheapest you can go is with a hostel, so search something like hostelworld.com to see what the prices look like. If you are willing to be in a shared room, this can go as cheap as $10-20 per night. There is also YMCA, I'm sure they have a branch in Toronto and it should be...

Hi all, My passport expires on May 29, and so does my student visa (I am a phd student). I have already applied for a passport but it takes quite a while and chances are that it is not going to be ready on May 29. I do have an official receipt that I have applied for a passport. Do you think I...

Thanks for the feedback.. I am leaving on April 2nd and I am flying back on the 25th of May. I am from Greece, not Brazil, I am going there to visit a university. Maybe a friend in Ottawa could pick up the letter of attestation for me on May 1st and send the application on May 1st with...

Thank you very much for your reply. I'll be back in the end of May, I'd prefer to have the application before. Thank you very much for your reply.. But I was caught unprepared: What changes on May 4th?! Could you please give me a link or something? I've been googling around but haven't found...

Hi all, Any comments on the following? 1) I'm leaving Canada soon so I'll be sending my application from Brazil. Any downsides to that? 2) I will have my letter of attestation on May 1st (that's when I complete 2 years of phd). The rest of the documents (transcripts, bank statements, dates on...

Thanks for your feedback. Do you know every how often do they update the quota on their website?

Hi all, Could somebody give me some feedback with the following questions? 1) In the Generic Application form for Canada, I'm a little confused with Question 4: Immigration Office requested for processing this application . One can find out how to fill that in by going to this webpage...

Re: Applying with a soon-to-expire passport Thank you for your reply. I am applying now, however as I said, they told me from my embassy that my new passport will be in my hands in minimum 2 months. So it's final? I cannot apply if my passport expires in the end of May, even if can prove...

Applying with a soon-to-expire passport Hi all, I am in the process of applying through the phd stream. I satisfy all the requirements, however the only thing that I am now afraid of is the fact that my passport is expiring in the 30th of May 2013. I am applying for a passport these days...

Re: Teaching Assistant; letter from my university Thank you so much for your replies, that helps a lot.. I'll take care of the things that you mention. I will post my topics in the phd thread, I didn't realize that.. Thanks a lot again!

Hi all, I am currently working on my application through the PhD stream. I am in my 3d year and I also have worked the equivalent of one year's full time job during my last 4.5 years in Canada (also did my master's here) as a Teaching Assistant and Research assistant. My question is about...

Dear all, I want to become a landed immigrant in Ontario. Could you please advice as of how I'd better apply (provinicial nominee, skilled worker, etc)? The following applies to me. I am from Greece and have a Greek passport. I came in Ontario in September 2008 with a study permit and...

You should start your own topic.. In internet forums it is not considered appropriate to post your questions on other peoples' threads.

Thanks, that's good to know! So I guess what is going to happen most probably is that I am going to return all the previous tax returns, right? I mean, my Canadian income is very low (so I was getting returns every year) but my world income is considerable.. What do you think?
