If you've paid an agent why don't you just ask them, they cost enough so might as well make them earn some of the money and actually give you the answer. should all become very clear once you get in touch with them

Thanks so you're more focused on the Ontario market?

Haha funny you ask this question and I'll explain why. Firstly though are you relocating back to Canada as well or have you always been there and just your partner coming. If you've been out of Canada for a certain amount of time then you also have an allowance to utilise similar to that of a...

So as a first time buyer in Vancouver of a property valued at CAD 1.2m I'm still paying a land transfer fee?

That's right and in great big capital bold letters is says CONFIRMATION OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE

Confirmation of Permanent Residency

I may have a slight advantage as I'm a recruitment consultant, however, I am still on the 'other' side of the process now. I guess it just gives me more of a realistic view of how things work. I know based in HK I'm wary of people applying from abroad especially if they don't sound like they...

Canuck beat me to it, he'she is right, it's literally going through the COPR and answering yes or no. then they'll ask if they have an address to send their PR cards to

Can someone clarify the below for me please: Savings: 1. As a first time home buyer, you don’t have to pay land transfer fees. Usually, it ranges from 0 - 2%. Is this for a brand new home or as a first time buyer in Canada? I thought that you don't have to pay this amount if the value of...

If I'm honest I think you may struggle as it takes longer than a week to process, you'd literally have to go in on day one of your trip to apply and hope that they process it before you leave (most unlikely) The only other option you have is to go over the border to the US and fly from there...

Will they be entering with a COPR?

This is in fact getting much better, I think the sales person from Ikea has been on a massive sales drive on restaurants in HK and there are now a lot of restaurants that have high chairs. This isn't just the western restaurants, even the Chinese restaurants have high chairs. Not just those...

I think we're all in a similar boat, I'm relocating in February and have had a lot of interviews and one close to an offer but then it got stalled. I'm in a few interview processes right now and I did make a trip to Vancouver in September for some face to face interviews. Whilst I've had a...

Hi there, the BSF168A is basically an extension of BSF186 e.g. if you don't have enough space for all your goods on BSF186 then put them on BSF186A You should use one set of forms for the goods you have with you (in your suitcase/s) and one set of forms for the goods to follow (shipping etc)...

I guess this is a cultural thing and one I've never quite understood in Hong Kong. We drive a lot ourselves and have a seat each for our children but I wouldn't say it's the norm, most of the time parents will hold their babies/toddlers in their arms. I've even seen children standing in the...

Hi Peter, I hope your trip is going to be a long one as from my own experience and reading here they can take upwards of 2 weeks to approve depending on their volume and your own situation. As per my last post go to this page to find the requirements...

Again I don't think there's much more advice we can offer apart from what people have already suggested. But as with everyone who is reading this thread now I think we're all intrigued to hear the whole story as there are some huge gaps that don't make sense to us. I think we'd all like to...

I have to agree, can't you just go to the Finnish Embassy of Consulate (or one that deals with Finns) and explain your predicament. I'm sure they will be able to verify your identity in some way. They can then provide you with a travel document.

I agree with you on this, there is a huge amount of emphasis now placed on actually having a PRTD. Therefore, it would make sense that every company who is engaged to provide the service should know about it. The fact that the company in Rio doesn't actually know it's required is slightly...
