Hi Tahmid, Student visa is a temporary resident visa, so you would need to mention it on your application.

Hi Taral, Can you elaborate further about your situation. Usually people apply for CEC after gaining required 1 year work experience under PGWP. That's a route for them to continue staying in Canada permanently. Are you eligible for this? If you do not have the required work experience, then...

Hang in there Bonj8, let's try to be cautiously optimistic about your situation. If they have made their final decision before June 19th, it would be safe, or if you have passed selection criteria before February 11th. When was your medical request received? After submitting our passports it...

Hi Hardeep, On the CIC website, they have said that CIC will contact you directly or through your immigration representative if you appointed one. This should mostly be by mail. Bonj8 and you could possibly email your VO asking about your status, since waiting can be torturous at this stage...

Liveclaim, I will ignore your posts from now since it seems you have some difficulty with reading and comprehending what was said. Stop insinuating **** from a simple post, and perhaps exercise some patience and politeness, would do you some good with basic comprehension too.

Liveclaim, do you know the full details of this new program? No, since the government has yet to announce it. Based on Chris Alexander's interviews, vague ideas about this new program have surfaced. If you read what I said carefully, they no longer will offer a simple investment program (like...

Hi all, I had 2 questions for PRs applying for new OHIP card. 1) The obligatory 3-month waiting period: does this commence from landing date, or after you have applied for OHIP at ServiceOntario? 2) Proof of residency: - We showed them bank statement and property tax bill; however both...

The replacement programs will not be an investor program like this one. It would be something similar and complementary to the start-up visa already in place (it does not require a personal investment). In short, they no longer want to "sell" PR at a price as with the investor program, instead...

Hi Hardeep, The federal investor program is foreever closed now, there won't be any doubling of investment (it was already done in the past), the program is scrapped completely. Unless you are referring to Quebec investor class, which is open but with max caps, so it will open next year.

Hi Saga, I am so sorry to hear about how your application was affected. I know two people in real life whose applicaiton got terminated, one person here, and with you being the second person. It is frustrating when we've done all in our power but someone else's misdoing ruins everything. I...

Hi Xpress, yes I think I mentioned this before, as far as I know you have to submit everyone's passport together at the same VO. We had 2 passports couriered from Canada to TZ and then all of them couriered together to the VO in Nairobi. Tanzanian passports do not have any restrictions on...

Yes we are going to land separately.

Thank you! PA just landed yesterday, went so smoothly less than 10 minutes with the immigration officer and 5 minutes for customs. The IO didn't ask any questions, incredibly friendly, just handed the CoPR documents and done. As others have said, just organize the B4 forms and your self-made...

If you do a 2-year program, your study permit will be that long and at that end of the study permit you have to leave Canada. Since you want to stay and look for jobs, you would need to apply for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) before your study permit expires. you would be eligible for 3...

It would be easier I would think (if your country's passport rules permit it) for your dependent to just courier the passport to you. That way they don't miss out much from their university time in BC.

Hi XpressEnterprise, You can enter from any POE, but regardless of whether you are federal/Quebec during landing the immigration officer has to establish that you still meet the criteria of the program you applied under. This involves satisfying the IO that you will not breach the conditions...

DanMac, the realiable information for this termination is mostly found on CIC's website, plus the parliament's website that showed the progress for the bill that proposes the end of the programs. In case you haven't read the last post, from yesterday, bill-31 is now the law, and CIC announced...

Hi XpressEnterprise, When I was an international student, I also had a 4-year multiple entry temporary resident visa, which I only needed if I was leaving Canada/US and re-entering, did not need the visa for travelling to and from USA. I never had an issue. A bit confused by your question...

Hi Lubs, But have you submitted all the supporting documents, the complete package that includes Schedule 6 etc? Because they use those documents to determine selection criteria eligibility. It is possible you may have passed the selection criteria even if you haven't heard from them. I would...

Guys, Bill C-31 has just received royal assent. Here are the instructions from CIC: Terminated programs - Federal Immigrant Investor and Entrepreneurs On June 19 2014, Bill C-31 became law, and applications still in the backlog of the federal Immigrant Investor Program and Entrepreneur...
