An IEC work visa does not entitle you to extend your stay, nor does it entitle your wife to a matching work permit. And you cannot "stack" IECs together, each person can only get one IEC once. This is from the New Zealand IEC website: 6. May I participate in the Canadian IEC initiative more...

This. EXACTLY this. How does this citizen prove against the CIC's accusations?

What if you want to make Canada your home indefinitely but also retain the right of all citizens to move elsewhere in the future? No one (myself included) knows how CIC will ever enforce an Intent to Reside case, and no one knows how you could prove such "intent" at the time of signing...

Second this.

Actually, I feel 1111 is supposed to be for consulting accountants in large accounting firms, managing the accounts of several clients. Your employer has 4 employees you said? I understand you do the "accounting" for your employer and that you have a degree in Accounting, but this does not make...

Second this.

I would give the address of the CIC office that is processing your application.

I agree, as Iranians they had no right to return to Malaysia without a new work permit, which they could no longer afford because they could not work in Canada. My frustration in this particular story is directed at the employer. This is human trafficking, plain and simple. The responsibility...

Think of the Receiver General for Canada as a special bank account that the Government holds for all of its departments to receive money from the public. The response is telling you that, rather than get details specific to the Receiver General, you should be gathering details specific to CIC...

I am proud of your resolve to keep your money. I'm sorry it worked out this way but as you know already, life can be very cruel when it wants to be. For what it's worth, I wish you the best of luck with your battle to access services and keep mobile. It's no wonder you've developed some of the...

Or the NSW equivalent, as OP is not from Victoria :P

If you just received your CoPR in the mail and were not asked for your passport, you do not need a visa. What country is your passport? Certain citizens are visa-exempt.

Just clarifying that I don't agree with it...was only trying to come up with a reason for it.

^^ I haven't seen the page but I know what it's referencing and it's likely NSFW... To the topic at hand...I am not blind myself. But I do know what it's like to have feelings for someone over the internet. For us, my online girlfriend (later wife) is Canadian and I am the foreigner. I came to...

I think the assumption is that Outland apps are only just coming into Canada to work as of their CoPR being issued. As such, they probably don't have a temporary SIN and they need one right away if they are to work. Having said that, CIC has many Outland applicants that live in Canada and...

I can only imagine what it must have been like to finally gather the courage to turn up at the Dawson Creek office of the Labour board only to be told "we can't help you, you're foreign". Just brutal.

There are 2 separate points. Your PCC: 1. Must not be dated more than 3 months before the date of the application. 2. Must not be dated more than 12 months from the date the IO assesses it. If you provide your PCC AFTER the application has already been sent, you only need to worry about...

If you haven't changed employers, they will simply assume that the SIN is implied and continue to use it. Correct procedure (as annoying as it is) would have been to get an extension on the temporary SIN by showing the OWP to Service Canada. Then once the PR card arrives, another trip to...

I'm sorry, but I don't agree it would be a clear case. Surely the burden of proof AFTER the Citizenship has been issued belongs to the prosecutor - in this case CIC. What documentary evidence could they possibly use in this case? Simply that it looks fishy? While I agree that scenario would look...

For me, the areas that "require modification" are actually creating new problems that did not exist before, hurting Canada rather than helping it. Intent to Reside is bound to be challenged in the courts and my basic understanding of the Charter tells me it will be in for a hell of a fight...
