My PGWP expires in late October 2025 however the TRV on my passport is valid till 2031. If I travel out of Canada now, will I be able to easily enter again on October 1st 2025? Even though I would have less than 1 month on my permit at that point? I have been told that they often do not look...

I graduated from a computer science diploma in 2022 and I still have not found a job. I have had a handful of interviews but no luck. I am losing all hope in life and I don't see any future. My work permit expires next year. I just want to ask, what do I do in this situation? I have been...

I have occasionally seen small shops on the street (in major Canadian cities) which have a sign that says " LMIA Jobs ". What are these places? Do they actually help you with finding a LMIA job or are they some sort of scam?

I have a work permit but am struggling to find a job in my field (software). I'm running out of my time on my permit and I want to at least get 1 year of valid Canadian work experience before the permit expires. I've read that there are some apprenticeships out there which you can join to...

I'm facing a dillema right now. I have a work permit however I do not have a NOC 0, A or B job. I have a blue collar job though but I don't think it qualifies for PR. I'm wondering if I should go to my home country and apply for jobs in Canada from over there? Is that a good idea? Has anyone...

This is not a rant but more of a realist breakdown of my situation. I'm on a post graduate work permit and I'm basically too weird to get a job. I have a severe speech impediment and social anxiety. I always come across as nervous and unstable. I'm able to pass take-home assignments but when it...

I've been having lots of problems with the MSP health insurance department. My study permit expired in November and they still sent me an invoice for " international student monthly insurance " for the month of December. The invoice's due date was at the end of the December. When I asked them...

I was on a study permit. I graduated and am now on a work permit. I updated my MSP account with my work permit but they are still sending me invoices for my " international student health fee ". What's even more bizarre is that my study permit HAS EXPIRED. It expired in November but they still...

I applied for a TRV from inside Canada. I got my passport request letter but it contains no information as to where exactly I have to send my passport to get it stamped. It simply gives me a link to follow and tells me the instructions are there. When I follow the link, it guides me a page on...

I have a PGWP but I have still not found a job that is under NOC 0, A or B. Ideally I was hoping to get into software/web development since I completed a diploma in that field. However I am competing against people with bachelors in comp sci, masters, and several years of work experience and I...

I'm on a PGWP and my study permit is simultaneously active (it had an extension right before my last semester). I have been paying my monthly MSP fees of $75 every month now, and I JUST realized that PGWP holders do not need to pay that. I updated my MSP account with my PGWP recently. It is...

I have a work permit which was recently issued and I have now applied for the TRV. I was waiting for the work permit to get processed so that's why I couldn't apply for the TRV earlier. But I now have to travel to my home country and I cannot because I don't have the TRV. I know that it's not a...

I was struggling to find a NOC A or B job, but I am currently working in a NOC D job in British Columbia. I'm just wondering but is it at all possible to attain PR by working in a NOC D job? When I look this up online, I see mixed results. I know that Canada has several different pathways to PR...

I had applied for a PGWP. For a short time I worked for a company that stated that they did not deduct taxes on my behalf. So I had to do all the tax deductions on my own. Do you think this is a safe thing to do for a foreign worker? Would it cause any potential troubles? I'm a bit of a rookie...

I graduated some time around May of this year. I applied for a PGWP but I still haven't heard back. My program was 2 years long. I just wanted to ask, when do they decide what the start date of your PGWP is? As in, if your PGWP is 2 years long......when does it actually start? When they process...

I applied for a PGWP more than a month ago. I still haven't heard back. The thing is I might have to change my address soon or even go back to my home country. I'm not sure. So what's the best thing to do in this situation? How do I handle the mailing address change? Obviously I cannot have...

I did a 2 year program. In one of the semesters in the middle of the program, I had failed a course which led to the total credits for that semester going below amount that classifies as "full-time". I repeated that course in a subsequent semester. I checked with an immigration consultant as...

I extended my study permit and its valid for another 7 months. However I also wanted to apply for a TRV since my current TRV is expired. But when I went to the application page, I noticed that they asked for proof of enrollment for future semesters. But the thing is I just completed my program...

I applied to extend my study permit and they extended it. However I did not extend my TRV (Because I thought it was only meant for travelling). My TRV has expired but my study permit is valid. I just wanted to confirm but is this ok? Should I have applied to extend the TRV before it expired...

Lets say a student has maintained full time status however towards the end of their program (even after they applied to graduate), they've had to extend their study. In terms of registration/records, this means something. Students will usually term out of the program in the end (where they will...
