I'm on the same boat, CEC inland, dependent outland, no progress. I don't think we're going to get any priority until our dependents can travel to Canada. We're waiting for the government hotel requirement to stop or for my dependent to get fully vaccinated to enter.

I made this post with a genuine interest in learning and improving and was met with aggressiveness, so I'm sorry to be at the limit of the empathy and gratefulness I can feel for those who dared to answer this post. Both responses are full of assumptions on who I am and what I know, which...

I think it's a very nordic rich-country way of thinking and I don't think it's a bad thing. I've had women from other countries actually comment on how they expected me to be more of a gentleman after I got used to Canadian culture and lost some habits, so I know some of them like being treated...

Thanks for the explanations! Will modify that behavior then.

Latinamerican 5-years immigrant here, brown-skinned, with an amazing wife that's out of my league. Sometimes when a female friend changes her looks (cuts or tints her hair, etc.) I tend to do a casual "you look great" comment, sometimes literally out of formality / good-deed-of-the-day as I'm...

I'm in Vancouver on a work permit and my wife who has a visitor visa is in Colombia (South America). We want to reunify after 1 year of not seeing each other. I'm planning to request a travel exception letter for her. Supposing we obtain it, would that letter have an expiration date? We don't...

Hello, I received an invitation to apply for express entry under the "Canadian experience class" with a score that also counted 3 years of previous work experience outside of Canada. My problem is that a significant portion of this work experience was as a remote programmer, for the same...

Visit cic.gc.ca and review their documentation, that's the main process to take. If you follow their steps that's the way to get the work permit, no hidden tricks or anything.

It's very uncommon to get a job offer without having a work permit. I did try this and every employer out there wouldn't even discuss the topic with me, it was always "let's chat again after you get the work permit". I believe that method is left open so that exceptional academics, sportsmen or...

Hello everyone, I already have a 10-year visitor visa and recently applied for a work permit. If my application is successful, will they require me to send my passport through mail, even though they don't need to modify it? I applied outside Canada but by the time they would require it I would...

Ties to your country are evidence of responsibilities you leave there and that motivate you to come back: - leaving your spouse and children behind - leaving a house or a lot, specially if rented - leaving your companies, investments, etc. - leaving the work you've had for a few years now...

Hello! I'm in Canada right now, studied for 2 years, then recently applied to the post-graduation work permit. I'd like to visit the US for a couple days since I'm in "forced vacations" right now, but my canada visa expired 8 months ago. My study permit expires in 2 months. 1) For US travel...

If you don't currently live in your home country, I suggest you get citizenship or live and work a few years in your current country before reapplying. In your situation convincing a visa officer that you are not trying to stay ilegally in Canada is hard. Every time you get a refusal your visa...

Ideally you apply 3-4 months before classes start; less than that and there's no way of proving you will have the same amount of money when you come to Canada.

The official is saying "you don't show enough money and your ties to Canada are too strong compared to your ties to your own country, so you will probably overstay... Heck, you don't even have enough money to survive before getting a job in-campus". How would you prove him wrong?

It depends, you don't provide enough information to give you any advice. Why do you think the visa officer thought that? Has someone close to you overstayed their visa?

Hi! I'm planning to flagpole soon to get a post-graduation work permit, as my online application will take long and I just got a good job offer with a time limit. I just graduated from a Masters and my Study Permit expires in 2 months. I extended my study permit during my studies and didn't...

Hi! I'm planning to flagpole soon to get a post-graduation work permit, as my online application will take long and I just got a good job offer with a time limit. I'm in Victoria right now. I came to do my Masters on a student permit. Is it better to go north to Vancouver to flagpole, or south...

Hi everyone! I've been doing my masters in Canada (computer science) for a year and a half. I expect to finish my studies next year in the first term (term ends on April 24) and the graduation ceremony (convocation) will be on June 11. Recently I got a study permit extension (the first one...
