Nice strawman. We don't know if the refugees are criminals, because we can't background check them. That's a problem. Ok. That doesn't mean that Canada should undermine Canadian society to accommodate them. The conservatives were doing just fine with refugees until the last election. The...

If it lives, or was once alive, you should not bring it. Customs will likely make you throw it away. When you go through customs, be honest. Fill out the forms exactly as they say - if you have fruits (you shouldn't), check the box. If you have meat (you shouldn't), check the box. Lying can...

It won't hurt to include it, and is probably a good idea. They already have that record, so it shouldn't be necessary to include it.

On the Canadian side, it's simple. If you have more than $10,000 equivalent in CAD, report it. Due to fluctuations in currency values, if you have anywhere near $10,000, report it. Be prepared to explain why you have the money (moving affairs from Egypt to Canada is perfectly fine), and some...

You can cross the border without a PR card by car. I've done it dozens of times, including yesterday. Sometimes, they ask status. Sometimes, they don't. With US plates, they often assume you're visiting, and with CA plates, they often assume you're returning home. Two weeks or so ago, I was...

They can't. The checks they have been done are woefully inadequate. But hey, who wants qualified, non-criminal immigrants when you can replace them with refugees?

At any point, you (legally speaking) may asked to provide proof you meet your residency obligations. Every moment you violate residency obligations, you risk losing PR status. Pragmatically speaking, they generally only check when you apply for a PR card or cross the border. That is...

Yep, they are. They have been expanding their readers as well, to all lanes instead of just NEXUS. Sort-of. They are passive, which means they only broadcast when they receive a signal, and they use the power from that signal to respond. No. It's a very short read range, and it's not...

What do you mean landing paper? Do you have a CoPR? If you have, and you are not in breach of the Residency Obligation, then you can enter no problem.

You would need your British Passport. When you cross the border, answer any questions they ask honestly. If they don't ask if you are a Permanent Resident, you don't have to tell. If they ask your status, you are a P/R.

The biggest one is people sharing a residential address, but not applying together for Citizenship. Another is using a commercial mail delivery place (USPS box, for example). Another one is being linked to a immigration consultant that is linked to fraud. Another is multiple people...

Not really. If I am assigned to work outside the country by my Canadian employer, the days count towards residency (with some exceptions). If I'm married to a Citizen, every day residing outside the country counts. There are a few other exemptions, too. They have no way to know where every PR...

They don't know who is in the country, and who is not. If an officer has reason to believe that you have not met the residency obligation, then he may require you to provide proof. If you fail to do so, then he may institute a hearing. If you lose the hearing, then you will be deported. So...

She will need to be listed as non-accompanying, and examined for inadmissibility (background check, etc.). If she is not, she becomes ineligible for sponsorship. This is how people get in trouble - they don't list their spouses on the application, and then they get banned. The ministerial...

That really depends on you. Larger employers are going to be less inclined to hire someone part time - you likely will want to try to focus on transferable skills - ways to use management skills in jobs that aren't simply management.

That depends on you. If you are well-qualified, good at interviewing, and your job is in demand, you can do reasonably well. As a student (computers), I was working at a $85,000 salary level. During classes, they paid 50%. During breaks (4 months out of the year), they paid 100%. It worked...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-offcampus.asp If you have a study permit, and are enrolled at a school full-time (or on a scheduled break), you are permitted to work. Any day you are not enrolled full-time (or on a scheduled break), you are not permitted to work. In other words, if...

I held a work permit and a study permit at the same time, for what it's worth.

It looks like they are decreasing the number of applicants drawn this year to keep the points high, rather than decreasing the number of draws per applicant. At least the liberals will make sure they can process refugees and family class quickly.

If you don't have the tickets, dates and credit card statements can also serve as a degree of evidence. If you don't have them, the research is harder (for them), but they can usually find out. You can also ask the airlines or countries for PNR data.
