Hi everyone, My parents are visiting this August from South Africa on a multiple entry visit visa. We are also in the process of applying for a super-visa for them. I know super-visas must be applied for from outside of Canada, but am wondering whether we can apply (online) before they leave...

Hi everyone, My open work permit was approved as a part of my sponsorship. The actual permit will arrive in the mail, and I am to inform them if after 6 weeks it has not arrived. Being that I know it has been approved, do I still need to wait until it arrived before I can begin working...

Hi everyone, I am planning on sponsoring my wife from South Africa. My friend told me that I should just go to a settlement worker at the YMCA in the city, but I have also heard that settlement workers have limitations on what they can do for you (filling out forms, submitting application...

Hi everyone, I am in Canada on an LMIA supported work permit (valid until 2018). I am going to apply to Express Entry and hope that I can get PR status that way. I have two questions. Under the new system (beginning on the 19th), does my current LMIA earn me 50 points? It was an LMIA in...

Hi everyone! I was hoping could confirm the general process for an international medical graduate, including what happens if their degree is not recognized on the world directory of medical schools, and at what point they need to contact a provincial regulatory authority. I will list the general...

Hello everyone, I have a three year degree and a 1 year post grad. In order to earn the associated points for "two degrees..." in the EE system, do I enter each degree as it is, and then the system identifies that they are two degrees and gives the associated amount of points? Or do I enter in...

Hi Everyone, In addition to one year of full time experience, I have 22 consecutive months of part time work between two jobs at 20 hrs/week; a full year at one job, then 10 months at another. Would this count as an additional 1 year of experience?I am trying to work it out mathematically but...

Oh wow I had no idea. Thanks so much.

Hello, I own and operate a printing company. There are obviously no NOC codes for owners--the closest I can find are CEOs, but I am not a manager or supervisor, either. I am the owner! With this sort of thing, do I just find what closest? ie, what if I wasn't the owner, what would I qualify...

Great, thanks a lot.

I see. So if my employer only wants to support my PR application with a job, then it's free. If they want to support my PR application while also supporting a TWP in the meantime (dual intent LMIA), then it's $1000?

The link: http://www.esdc.gc.ca/en/foreign_workers/hire/permanent/overview.page I am confused because the page title concerns those who wish to supports someone's PR application. It lists the processing fee ($1000), all of which I was aware of. But then towards the bottom of section it says...

Are you sure? Is there anything in the legislation/manuals that you re basing this on? The WES report is a two page report, and each credential is evaluated individually as well, and both are recognized as one BA and then one post grad. The assessment at the very top lists it as a single BA. So...

Hi everyone, Let's say, hypothetically, that an employer offers me a job but wants me to start work right away. Seeing as a PR processing time sits between 5-6 months, is there a way that I can begin working for the employer in Canada while my PR visa is processing? Would this be a simple TWP...

Hi everyone, I have a three year degree in commerce, plus a 1 year post grad diploma in taxation. WES assessed this as a single four year bachelor degree. When I am filling out my EE profile, should I include this as 1 Ba, or as two degrees/diplomas? Thanks!

Does anyone have any recommended, trustworthy job recruitment companies/website in Canada? I never know who to contact, or who to give my money to :( Thanks!

Hi everyone, In addition to my employment reference letters, I have been told by some friends that I also need payslips and income tax returns from all years of work experience that I am claiming, to upload when I apply for Permanent Residency through EE. Is this true? Thanks!

Hello, I went through Express Entry with my daughter (8 years old) and new husband in 2014. We received an ITA and applied for PR, which was approved. My husband has been in Canada since then, but I am only travelling now. However, my daughter is unable to come as her biological father refused...

As most PNP's require a job offer, is there really any use in contacting specific PNP programs beforehand? As far as I can tell, the Sask occupations in demand program is the only one that does not require a job offer ,(assuming that you haven't previously studies/worked in the province), and...
