    Study Permit Extension and travel outside of Canada

    If you're visa-exempt you should be fine. ETA will suffice. CBSA will see from your UCI that you have a valid Study Permit. You can simply explain that it was issued while you were away. Given the circumstances, they should understand. They may want to confirm that the program is still...

    humanitarian and compassionate application

    H&C approval rates, historically, are in the low single digits. It is important to take focus on the key aspect of Section 25(1), which states: My experience has been that IRCC is looking primarily, these days, at these factors: Unanticipated Hardship Establishment in Canada by the...

    Study Permit Extension and travel outside of Canada

    Yes, you can leave, but if you filed inside of Canada, the physical Study Permit will be mailed to the address that you provided inside Canada. Furthermore, what is the expiration of your TRV (if you have one?). If it corresponds directly with the Study Permit, you will need to obtain a new...

    Visitor Visa after 5 year ban

    Here's my take on things: The bona fides of your underlying situation seem strong but there is obviously a back-story behind the nature of all those refused applications. To me, 7 applications to the USA - all refused, seems like it's something worth explaining further. Your travel history...

    Work permit via port of entry with LMIA exemption

    You're on the right track. What you're referring to is the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement. However, there is lots of fine print. I wouldn't simply show up at the POE or Airport expecting to just be given a work permit. And, showing up with a 1295 in hand is certainly a sign that you have...

    Working as a visitor

    Continue..... Am I reading this wrong? If you are already in Canada as a visitor, you may not apply within Canada. You must apply for a work permit at a Canadian visa office: responsible for the country where you live, responsible for the country you are a citizen of, or at a Canadian embassy...

    I'm thinking in particular Francophone Mobility (C16), IEC Young Professionals is age and quota restricted. CETA Exemptions are also of consideration, depending upon his actual background. What was he doing prior to arriving? To say that someone is full-stop not eligible would be silent to...

    Exploratory Visa for entrepreneur stream

    My recommendation would be to have a coherent plan in place. 1. Where precisely will you be visiting? What cities or regions? 2. Do you have appointments made with anyone? Consultants, Lawyers, PNP Offices? 3. Are there specific industries that you are targeting? 4. Have you been in contact...
