    Work permit extension for spouse of post graduate work permit holder

    Hi I have my 3 payslips to renew my husband's OWP. I am not sure how I now apply on the CIC site - is it the standard work permit application? There is a question that asks how long he intends to stay in Canada - in the past, the response has been temporary, but now that we have applied for...

    Budget for Montreal

    Hi Anyone currently living and studying in Montreal? According to the website, one needs to have C$21,000 to live in Montreal with spouse and 2 children. This seems ridiculously low. Or am I underestimating the good value Montreal is as a city. Please share your experience as to the true...

    I suggest you phone in, report that it's been longer than 20 days without update, and agent should offer to send message to relevant department - that is what the agent I spoke to on day 20 just before i received update said to me. But I find it really depends on who answers your call. Keep...

    Quebec Certificate of Acceptance (CAQ)...pls suggest

    It is worrying that they don't update receipt of documents immediately. However, if Canada post has confirmed mail delivery on 29th March then I think you can safely assume documents are there. This means you will either receive update by 26th April. I've been told by the International student...

    Accompanying spouse and open work permit

    Thanks for getting back. I think my main concern is that we don't really have concrete ties to our home country (UK) except that our families are all there and I have professional ties but not a waiting job. We don't have property and have lived overseas for a number of years. Did you use an...
