    My pleasure helping you ;D! Doesn't look like a lot of people on this forum know much about Kingston.

    Choosing a place to live!

    I went to school in Kingston and loved the city. Moved to the Toronto area for work like everyone else I know and don't like it as much here. It's quite a safe city. The city you want to move depends on what sort of job you're looking for. There are a lot of jobs for healthcare professionals in...

    IELTS.....COUNTS TOO MUCH IN EE!

    Not with that attitude! Work on your language skills. Attend ESL lessons, book clubs, watch tv and movies only in English. Immersive language learning works. It is hard but not impossible to achieve. Avoid the temptation to switch back to your native language while preparing. You appear to...

    The best Canadian bank for new comers??

    Tangerine also exists in Canada. I would highly recommend staying away from TD. Their customer service has gone downhill over the last couple of years. I closed my TD accounts since they seemed way more interested in pushing their crap on me, instead of maintaining the existing accounts I had...

    BG status

    It may mean that you passed either 11.2 or completeness check. I wouldn't say it means anything with regards to your application timeline, especially if you are inland. CIC has been recently holding onto to applications for the full 6 months, sometimes a little more. My application's...

    Need Help Husband been abusing me since landed but have condition 51

    That's the difference. Unless you are a woman with kids undergoing abuse, you really cannot claim that you have walked in her shoes or even imagine what this lady is going through. Your thoughts come from a good place but the way you have phrased them, as kiwiblair has mentioned, is extremely...

    Need Help Husband been abusing me since landed but have condition 51

    Have you ever been abused in your life? Or are you a licensed psychologist? Do you know anything about what a battered woman goes through? Please be more sensitive and refrain from blaming anyone. Your words may be on the internet, but they could have life-altering impact on people.

    Need Help Husband been abusing me since landed but have condition 51

    How classy, victim-blaming! This is why more women don't seek help. Unless you've been in her shoes, you have no right to criticize her. @Divinity: Unlike what this genius thinks, its not your fault. You need help and fast. Get out asap. Here's a great place on the internet for other people...

    Need Help Husband been abusing me since landed but have condition 51

    Leon has good advice here. Please seek help immediately. He has already threatened your life, this could end very badly for you. There's only so much strangers on the internet could do. The longer you stay at your home, the more you put your and your kids' lives at risk. I have read multiple...

    Got eligible for CEC but not FSW?

    Did you create an account on job bank (assuming you don't have an LMIA)? I have a similar profile as you and got accepted via FSW. My profile did not activate FSW until I had the job bank registration. NOC codes could also be an issue. I vaguely recollect having a similar issue when I first...

    Can you renew OHIP with a COPR letter?

    The Ontario health system is broken. I have a similar issue due to fact that my job's longer than average probationary period. Did you manage to get a resolution to the issue?
