    My wife's tracker also shows the same. She's 58 and doesn't need to take test or show language skills. Citizenship oath also shows in progress. And today is our oath ceremony.

    October 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Anybody taking their oath in Scarborough on May 6th? Also, for those who have applied for their passport, I am not clear on the guarantor and reference requirements. Can anybody confirm if you need 1 guarantor and 2 references? Can the guarantor and references be relatives such as in-laws or...

    Best PR Path for 2-Year College Grad: Ontario, Atlantic, or Alberta?

    If your goal is PR, you need to consider all possible ways to increase your score and all possible pathways. Due to my age, I was very sure I will never get EE ITA, but I took my IELTS anyway to be able to create a profile (note that this was during the time when PR was somewhat “easier”)...

    Expiry date of extended status in Citizenship application.

    What is the proper status if, let’s say, SP expired in July but PGWP was applied a month before in June. Then PGWP was approved in September (all in the same year). How do you put that status in the activity/work history section? How to answer: “Do you have a valid status during the last 5...

    Uhm, what exactly is your point? Which part of "Current LICO is too low." is not clear enough for you? Was I asking for the LICO definition? Current LICO is too low based on official IRCC website: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1445&top=14 How is investing in...

    Current LICO is too low. I don't get your point on investing in Canadian apparel brands. Do you get dividends on such? how do you profit from it? Is the "etc." from my example not clear enough?

    PGP 2025

    I agree with you 101% But then, looking at the current LICO, I'm not sure how these sponsored parents/grandparents can bring significant financial resources. Unfortunately, Canada would never implement country caps due to "political correctness". As for high-quality immigrants, IRCC favours...

    PGP 2025

    Good point! Again, this is just my opinion. Maybe have an alternative to LICO for sponsors, something like if the parents/grand parents have enough to invest which would yield them a net dividend income (after taxes) of at least the equivalent of gross minimum wage. And a provision that these...

    If they have money to invest, why not? But then, what is the percentage of PGPs are really financially sound to have that money to invest? Let's be realistic here...

    Unless these parents and grand parents are able and willing to work to contribute to the tax revenue. There are a lot of Canadians who delay retirement because they cannot afford the basic cost of living on pension alone. My wife has a colleague who's 70 and still working. I may sound...

    Best time to Land in Canada

    Whether you're landing sooner or later, I would advise to start looking at jobbank listings. Some companies take time in processing applications. Better to get a head start. Good luck and welcome to Canada!

    OINP - International student stream - change in work conditions

    Beg to disagree... You should always inform Ontario Immigration if there are any changes to your employment, including conditions. The JOIS is a job offer stream and has specific conditions. You don't want this biting you back in the future. Just my opinion, though. Everyone is free to do as...

    URGENT!!! HELP!!! Incomplete degree.

    It's not weird. Just put a historical timeline in your personal history. IRCC is only concerned with what you are claiming points for. The personal history is just your life story to show IRCC what you were doing year after year. What's important is what you put in your work history and...
