    PGWP to Visitor - Proof of Means of Financial Support

    Hi Guys, Just want to clarify on something while I am preparing to apply for TRV as visitor. As CIC does not mention exactly what amount I should have to apply for visitor visa, I am wondering if I want 6 month visa, how much would be appropriate. Asivad kindly advised I may consider LICO for...

    Thank you Asivad Anac

    Thank you Asivad! By "settlement funds as per LICO standards for half a year", you mean half of $12,164 (as per LICO for single), which would come to about $6,000? I am filling out the application form now and it asks the date of original entry to Canada. Back in 2004, with my old passport, I...

    what can we expect in 33rd draw?

    It was stated in the year-end report, there were only about 900 candidates above 460. Yes, the pool is not static, but the purpose of such report is to help people speculate about what would be likely to happen in the future. I don't see below 460 unless they do back-to-back draw, or increase #...

    CELPIP or IELTS

    I took IELTS 2 times and CELPIP for 2 times as well. For IELTS, writing was the hardest for me, especially hated hand writing as it took so much time for me to correct. My writing score stayed the same on the second attempt, CLB 8, while all others were above CLB 10. To get the additional...

    PGWP to Visitor Status

    Well, at this point, I should just wait until the scores come down. Too many obstacles towards LMIA and PNP, like processing time, wage issues, etc. I also entered Working Holiday pool, so hopefully I get selected in a few months, so that I can start working again...

    PGWP to Visitor Status

    Yes, it is very hard to get LMIA. There's one former employee in my company applied for LMIA, submitted a pile of documents to support, but got rejected for stupid reason. I think most of office jobs (including mine) are very hard to get approved. can I ask what CRS you had? got invited under CEC?

    PGWP to Visitor Status

    Thanks guys!! I would definitely say I will be travelling, but besides that, it is okay to say I will be waiting for ITA during my visitor status in Canada, correct? SSLEE, I am not currently qualified for LMIA as my wage is below the median. I will ask for a raise soon, but even if my wage...

    1. Does experience gained in canada while on implied status count? (The implied status was due to WP Extension filed as my LMIA(with PR) application was in processing.) The lawyer I talked to said it won't count. 2. If after receiving AOR, i decide to visit India, would my application be...

    Express Entry Online application After getting an ITA

    wow... 120 business days sound scary. I am not sure if it would be a wise choice to prepare for PCC in advance of ITA. My visa is expiring in one month, so I wanted to prepare documents that I need in case I get ITA in last minute, but some people say it's better to get it after ITA. What do...
