Jay... I wouldn't worry about it, I don't think it'll be an issue. It's just part of the waiting game. I thought you weren't going to let any of this stuff bother you, just forget about it and wait and see what they say. Then come and let us all know what your result is.

I'm saying your application should probably match your job ad, which is why our lawyers didn't put my actual salary on my application.

We advertised for less than I earn and at the bottom we put will pay based on experience etc. The LMIA matched what the job advertised for as base salary. So your LMIA doesn't match your job ad?

Of course you can travel with 5 months left on your Work Permit. I went on vacation for two weeks 2 months before mine expired and there wasn't an issue. I went to the states a month before expiry too and they just told me I had to be back in Canada a week before the expiration date, rather...

Check your snail mail too - I received a letter with my file number. The letter was printed over 2 weeks before I received it. (which I know is still quicker than you - but it might just be waiting to be mailed out) I'm sure you'll receive it soon.

Hi there, a friend of mine had to extend his annually they wouldn't do it for 2 years straight for some reason.

I don't think it is no, they do advise you to have the valid time on your passport - I got a new passport prior to getting my visa as I only had 18 months left on it.

Hi 1) 6 months 2) 1 year They didn't ask me about travel insurance at the airport anyway. I did have a returning flight for 6 months later as I was returning home for Christmas and to be fair you don't know if you're going to enjoy your time in Canada and want to leave early. When I got to...

My personal experience, I bought travel insurance for 6 months as I prepared to say I didn't know how long I was going to stay etc. and when I got to Vancouver airport to get my visa they didn't even ask me if I had insurance! They just asked for my forms and passport, asked if I had a job lined...

The job offer you got... did your work arrange for your work permit in the first place? Or did you arrange it yourself?

That's what I thought actually, I've heard they have asked people to complete the new form which would take me back to the beginning again - so fingers crossed that should be the only thing then wait for a response for me. 4 times - wow you must be a little fed up of the process by now!

I have no idea! You have to print the email out and send back the response.

They emailed him the question and he has to fax it back when we get the info from HR... Of course they're going to take the money, it's the name of the game!

Question today asking about average wage range of employee in my position - which I believe was the additional question on the new form created on September 18th. They haven't asked for a new form to be completed just the answer to the question at least.

You'll need to collect your visa at the border though.

Yes you can - you'll just need help from your friends/family back home when getting background checks done - but you can apply from outside your own country.

Yes, you should be - I don't think you can book a flight over a year in advance.

The file number was probably created, but there is some poor person that prioritises what gets faxed/posted at which time. My snail mail - 2 weeks from an address 8 blocks away? It obviously wasn't posted the date it was printed. A month with a file number and no response - does not bode well...

They don't come looking for you or anything, but you wouldn't be able to work past the expiry date of your visa. If you wanted to take a trip to the US past the expiry date they wouldn't be to happy to let you back in in case you worked past your visa date. If you stay an extra 5 days just to...

I received my file number today in snail mail - however the letter was dated September 29th.
