    On GTS Closed Work Permit, hours reduced, how that impacts?

    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...

    Starting a business and migrating to Canada

    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...

    Business Owner living in Canada trying to obtain PR

    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...

    I need an expert who can draw up a business plan and provide options of business opportunity in Manitoba

    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.

    Owner operator LMIA, Work permit and PR

    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...

    Applicants - Applications returned/Due to return because of 8000 CAP

    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...
