I would say to a lawyer. Your case is unusual and pretty complicated.

So back when I applied in 2011 I really needed a citizenship because literally every month for 2 days I was in an embassy applying for a visa to go somewhere. Costs a lot of money and even more in time. Why are you in such a hurry to get your passport? I ask because even if you have to wait a...

Why did he quit his job? Was he a skilled worker? What is his status?

The minor head injury is one thing, but yeah they did give me the impression I wasn't being treated without a $500 deposit even though I had insurance. My partner had to pay thousands up front for his wife's pregnancy. This was not a problem for him but for people with the required health...

Where do you get those numbers from?

I think the problem you are referring to is pretty complicated. I started a business here about 4 years ago with 100% FDI. We employ around 30 full time Canadians and PRs with a monthly payroll of around $150k. My business partner at the time we opened our doors could not qualify for any type of...

I used Option B as well.

I just don't understand how they can claim welfare? Unless you screw over whoever signed your sponsor application. Furthermore why would an economic PR want to leave a high paid job for welfare?

Cheaper than a lifetime of accountant fees

No way it was 10 years must have been 3 (this was 2009) Now I'm married and I'm the hook for lets see 10 ,20 er a lifetime of support :(

Not a big deal to renounce. Filing US taxes is a big deal.

I went the family sponsored route because I got married a few years after studying and then working here. I thought my wife signed up for 5 years but I guess it could have been less. I went the family route because it was faster and cheaper then the other way. I remember she phoned my pissed off...

Yeah I know. He can renounce when he turns 18 though so I don't think it's a giant big deal.

He's trying to say (I think) that he is suffering through under-employment in order to support himself just until he qualifies for citizenship. Then he'll take his passport and go somewhere else.

There are really only two types of PRs in Canada family sponsored ones and economic ones. Those who are working are not costing citizens anything, they pay taxes, can't vote, can't run for office so are really 2nd class citizens. Those who are family sponsored are supposed to be sponsored by an...

So if you intend to leave why are you here? Why not just go somewhere else and be happier?

Well what the law says and how things work in reality are often very different. I remember in 2005 coming here as a student. I had to purchase private coverage from Sun Life Financial for health care. It wasn't much about $1200 for the year. One day I hit my head on a low hanging door, while...

They are increasing costs because that person would rather not be living in Canada. You are making them live here longer. If they do not have a high paying job or any job for that matter and are living on capital or depending on family it means residing in Canada for 4 years is harder than...

Er you name your spouse on your tax return and indicate your marital status. You could simply submit your marriage certificate to the CIC with your partners tax return if you wanted to.

The reason you would send money back to India is because you have family there. This is a very common situation in the 3rd world where bread winners work in foreign countries and send money back places with relatively low PPP (Purchasing Power Parity). An Indian passport cannot be a passport of...
