You can do your medical with any CIC approved panel physician, so yes, you can do your medical in Egypt. The physician will send the results to the CIC. Some doctors send the report by mail, though increasingly they are using the eMedical system to send the results digitally.

You could call Calgary's non-emergency police line, which is 403-266-1234. http://www.calgary.ca/CSPS/PSC/Pages/Non-emergency-calls.aspx

Presumably, you want to go to North Portal to do your landing. If so, take note that you can do your landing at various CIC offices, e.g. the office in Saskatoon. Just call them to book an appointment. They will most likely take your information and let you know that they will contact you once...

I'm going to spitball a few thoughts and possible options... Realistically, calling the CIC wasn't going to achieve too much. The operators aren't the best at giving generic answers, let alone something that is case specific. I can't imagine they're allowed to suggest that an actual visa...

I believe I have answered your question elsewhere on the forum. Go back to the 'Come to Canada' questionnaire. When presented with the question 'Do you have a written job offer?', answer NO. A written job offer refers to the LMIA process, which you are not part of. Answer no and you should be...

Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp For CEC, 'positive eligibility assessment' means that an AOR was received. You may notice that there is absolutely no mention of LMIA's in the above, because they're not required. Tell your friend to use the 'Come...

My house mate got his a couple of weeks ago, having applied online. The application was processed as per the times given on the CIC website. I'm pretty active on this forum and haven't heard of anyone getting their online application refused due to system errors/glitches. I suspect the online...

Ah that sucks! Weird you didn't even hear from them. Hope you get things sorted as best as possible

Yes you can apply for the BOWP online. Use the questionnaire linked below to get to the relevant application package. You should be able to get a joint package for you and your wife. Once you've completed the questionnaire it will give you the opportunity to apply for an 'Open Work Permit'...

If it were me, calling the CIC would be the first thing on my list. 1-888-242‑2100 Hopefully they can at least point you in the right direction.

It doesn't matter if the qualifying work is under multiple NOC codes, or if there are breaks between the work. You still need to have completed 52 weeks of full time work within the previous 3 years (or equivalent part time work). http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp

Does it make any difference if the person was paid and taxed in Canada? (Obviously I don't know if they were).

Hopefully someone with experience will help out, but here are a couple of links that may be useful. This link contains the CIC questionnaire to establish kind of language proof you will need to provide: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/language.asp CELPIP General-LS and CELPIP General...

Not a direct response, but hopefully it's helpful.. The last CIC update (April 24) indicated that they were processing online application received Feb 14, so hopefully you'll hear soon. Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp.asp

I can only speak from experience with Canadian Experience Class, but I'd be surprised if it was different. My COPR arrived by regular mail a couple of weeks after my ECAS status updated to 'Decision Made'.

Howdy Kerry, The process looks daunting to begin with, but with some reading you'll learn to understand things yourself. If you have the luxury of money to spend on an immigration lawyer then obviously it's an option. That said, there are heaps of people in these forums who can answer any...

You need to complete a calendar year of full time work. The CIC will accept a couple of missing weeks providing you were employed and on paid vacation at the time. 30 hours or 70 hours worked in a week, it still counts as just a week to the CIC.

Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp You need C$14,853 for two family members. In theory, you will be required to demonstrate that you have those funds available. You're only excluded if you are already sponsored and working in Canada (with an LMO/LMIA).
