Hi, here is an update of my application status. My PGWP application was approved on June 6 and is valid till June 6, 2017. I got a three year work permit! :) Can't wait to receive it in mail. P.S.: I studied at Algonquin College, I uploaded a letter of graduation as proof of completion of my...

Hi, My PGWP application is still in process, I applied online on May 26. Hopefully I will get some good news next week. I attached my graduation letter, passport, digital photo and a completed application form. Hoping that was enough. I'll update you here as soon as I receive my PGWP.

Why don't you apply for a Study Permit while waiting for your Permanent Residence? As a spouse of a Canadian citizen you are eligible to apply for a Study Permit from within Canada. You can apply online and receive your Study Permit in a very short period of time (a week or two). When I had a...

Why would you want to upload both documents? You probably want your application to be processed fast and smoothly, any additional docs may confuse or overwhelm the officer. A letter from college/university is as equally reliable proof of the program length as a transcript. So why send something...

If you get a Visitor record and your Study Permit expires while in Canada, you won't be able to renew a Study Permit from within Canada. For initial application for Study and Work Permits one should do it from their country of origin (country of residence other than Canada). The changes are...

I should apply by the end of May, so I'll probably have an answer to your question sometime in June, it depends how long the processing times will be at CIC. Anyways, I'll update you as soon as I receive my PGWP.

If your college told you that they would provide you with the letter stating that you completed a 2 year program, then the officer will make a decision based on the information in the letter. When applying online you have an option of uploading a letter or transcript, it's recommended to upload...

Some programs that start in winter semester have no official break in summer. If your program doesn't have multiple intakes throughout the year, you may have a problem finding your 2nd semester courses in the fall. Make sure with the Registrar's office that your 2nd semester courses are...

It's ok to be part-time in your last semester. Even if you have only one course left in your last semester, you will still be eligible for a Post Graduate Work Permit after graduation. Read eligibility criteria for PGWP on CIC website.

It depends on your situation. For most tourists it's impossible to change their status to worker or student from within Canada. However, if you are a family member of a PR/international student/foreign worker in Canada, you may qualify to change your status while in Canada.

I have recently applied for a co-op work permit online and received it in December. All I had to do is fill out an application form (link is found in the required documents), upload my passport, digital photo and a letter from my co-op coordinator saying that the work placement is an essential...

Do you know that international students don't need to have a valid visa to come back to Canada from U.S.? A valid study permit is sufficient. Well it's too late now since you already sent your passport. Hopefully you will receive your passport on time.

People assume that they can't have both documents, but CIC doesn't prohibit having work and study permit at the same time. It says that a student can apply for an off-campus work permit after six months, but a year or so ago they also had information on their website that if a student doesn't...

As Regina stated previously, live-in caregivers can study in Canada. The study permit will not cancel their work permit as practice shows. Actually, there is no such thing as one document cancelled by the issuance of another. As long as both documents are valid, one can continue working and...

Actually you are right, I just re-read her posts and it seems like she doesn't realize that she's done something wrong. I know many live-in caregivers, and all of them had a genuine intent to be live-in caregivers.

Yes, she got here with a different purpose and if CIC finds out they will probably deport her, but there's IF..and no one with a common sense will declare that they cheated the system and try to get themselves deported. In her case what's done is done. She got her visa and work permit, if she...

As a live-in caregiver you can apply for a study permit. If you decide to abandon your LIC program for any reason, you will be considered an international student on a study permit. The information that some people post here that you are not allowed to apply for a study permit is not valid. So...

When filling out an application for an additional test results form to be sent to an organization, in the address space the first line is called person name/department. That's where I would write Enrolment services. Just write the whole address in that form and if you have a file/student number...

At least one of the parents has to be a permanent resident for a child born in Canada to be considered a Canadian citizen. In your case with both of you on student visas, your child will not get Canadian citizenship upon birth.

Hello! I am new to this thread. Initially I was planning to apply for my PR through Canadian Experience Class, but they have recently eliminated my profession (bookkeepers and accounting technicians). I will be graduating from a two-year Ontario college diploma program in April. Besides my...
