What are the exact terms of your LMIA?

What occupation and in what location?

Your employer is responsible for paying you the wages, and for the hours, that were outlined in your Labour Market Impact Assessment under GTS. It is generally taken that 30 hours is the minimum that you should be working, and be paid for. CEC eligibility is based on 30 hours a week or more.

Thanks for adding on to my comments. I think for the record of the thread, it is important to add the relevant legislation that you are quoting, at least for reference and discussion purposes: 62 (1) Subject to subsection (2), the calculation of days under paragraph 28(2)(a) of the Act in...

I agree fully. Since we are all mostly resigned to indoor activities, I would suggest combing through OP10 - Permanent Residency Status Determination and ENF 23 - Loss of Permanent Resident Status. My view has always been that you will always have an ability to argue your case at the border...

For this type of demographic, who are cash and experience rich, but age poor, there are some of the PNP Entrepreneur programs that would make sense for her, especially in the food service sector. As requirements for English have been established across most of these programs, your mom would...

There are more options than just that. BC PNP can work, certainly, but there will need to be proposed rounds of new capital injection in order to meet the Minimum Eligible Invesment criteria. Job Creation doesn't seem to be an issue. BCPNP likes these types of files. Have you looked at what...

Keep in mind that BCPNP will not consider any investments made prior to an Invitation to Apply being issued. Are you here on a Significant Benefit Work Permit or NAFTA?

Hey Broko, While I can't effectively provide you with specific names of people, here are two suggestions if you wanted to start looking in that direction: 1. HSBC Bank of Canada - If you have an existing HSBC Account in your home country. It will be fairly easy to open up a Business Account...

Hey Syed, I don't think it's impossible, especially if a proposed business concept is related to your paid employment experience. Perhaps you are venturing out for the first time in a field in which you have experience. Certainly in the realm of possibilty. What is more important, however...

Was it a share purchase or acquisition? Did the CRA Business Number stay the same or change?

What is the exact nature of the company and what would the established business operations in BC look like? What would be the nature of the Minimum Eligible Invesment? How would that be spent, and in what form?

Essentially the process goes as follows: 1. Identification and Development of Business Concept (if purchasing, identification of business to be acquired) 2. Corporate Prep-Work Formation of Corporate Structure Registration with CRA, obtaining Business Number Engagement of Accountant...

I agree. Joorney is a great provider. However, keep in mind that the quality of the outputs from a provider, such as Joorney, are wholly-dependent upon the quality of the inputs that are provided. A bad business concept, with lipstick, is still a bad business concept.

These applications need to consider several factors, in my view. I have always taken the position to reverse engineer from the desired outcome, which for some is PR, and while for others it is not. 1. So, firstly, what is the goal? If it is PR through Express Entry, and the 200 points are...

As Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, your overarching goal will be to reopen Canada’s doors to welcome those who want to contribute to our country’s success. Canadians are open, accepting, and generous – qualities that should be reflected in Canada’s immigration policies and in...

Hi Everyone, Again, as was presented by CIC at the annual LSUC Immigration Law Summit on Monday, November 9th, 2015, CIC explained why applicants are automatically invited to apply under the FSW when they are qualified for both FSW and CEC. Essentially, the system works its way down the...

Hi Everyone, On Monday, November 9th, 2015, at the Law Society of Upper Canada's Immigration Law Summit, two CIC representatives provided updated instructions with regards to Bridging Open Work Permit eligibility and the use of the initial Acknowledgement of Receipt letter (PDF) as sufficient...

I can all empathize with your frustration and stress. I have about 20 clients who will potentially have their applications returned. I think it's a great injustice that CIC even posts the numbers on their website. It's almost as if not posting anything would be much better. In any case, there...
