    PR Trigger Exclusion Order?

    Yes, absolutely. We want to do everything the right way and will not omit any information. Our concern is that he offered kids in Canada athletic training for about 2 months as a self-employed person, during which time he made about $800. The issue is, he did this without having a work permit to...

    PR Trigger Exclusion Order?

    Long story short - the PR process calls for divorce certificates for prior marriages.

    Dependent Children & Estranged Spouses Non-Accompanying

    Where he is unable to work in Canada until PR is granted, it would be difficult for him to work here common-law for a year considering he has children to provide child support payments for. Is there any way to get a working visa prior to PR being granted?
