    List of ICT job recruiters/agencies for Toronto, Montreal and/or Vancouver?

    Only familiar with the Toronto area currently, Motion Recruitment and Randstad Canada. In my experience no recruiters really understand or deal with LMIAs or LMIA-exempt work permits (like the Canadian version of the TN visa), so expect an uphill battle if you don't already have PR or at least...

    IMM 5406 returned for the 3rd time.

    As per https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/my-son-is-estranged-will-this-render-me-inadmissible-for-pr.866309/ you have to figure this out. Surely you could ask your dad? If there's some stuff you can't figure out, then as per...

    IMM 5406 returned for the 3rd time.

    How do you know it was returned? How is it getting returned to you? Is this the paper version you filled out, or the digital one on the PR portal? You do need to include your step-siblings according to...

    Application tracker changed from complete to in progress

    I'm assuming it was just some kind of glitch and it'll go back to normal when you check back during the work week sometime. If it stays like that for longer, might be worth raising a webform over.

    Citizenship, pr under refugee protection

    Where do you see that? Looking at the official document checklist at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/cit0007.html the only documents that require originals for seem to be: How would one submit the original physical docs...

    Physical Presence Calculator Error: PR Date Rejected—Need Help!

    So the person you are asking did post this, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/december-2024-citizenship-applications.861715/page-42#post-11014129 Not sure how they handled it, but it seems IRCC accepted whatever they did, as they got the email to take the...

    USA Travel w/ RTD since Jan 2025

    I hadn't seen this being mentioned before in the news, but I might have just missed it. Can you provide a source? Again, haven't seen this on "multiple refusals" - the closest is https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/canadian-detained-us-immigration-jasmine-mooney which says, Which...

    USA Travel w/ RTD since Jan 2025

    Only at airports and marine facilities, and not all of them. See https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/brdr-strtgs/prclrnc/index-en.aspx?wbdisable=true for a complete list of the ones that are doing US preclearance. Knew someone who flew out of Billy Bishop airport in Toronto a couple of years ago...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Thank you for this write-up. It's really informative and exactly why I visit these forums. Excellent point, you're absolutely right. I made a bad assumption here. It's possible for example that the new trial was still against Camayo but she decided against appealing (perhaps because in the...

    USA Travel w/ RTD since Jan 2025

    Glad to hear that you made it ok. Normally, I'd ask for folks to keep those reports coming in - and if you do end up traveling, please do report back on it. But... Exactly. In fact, one professional immigration lawyer in the US has already come out publicly advising everyone not to travel...

    Can the " date of issue" be of a future date on the visa stamp?

    So I don't know why IRCC doesn't provide an easy way to check this. New Zealand does it via https://www.immigration.govt.nz/about-us/our-online-systems/visa-verification-service and for eTAs IRCC provides an online tool to check those...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    CBSA officers often have a lot of discretion, but just because it went your way once doesn't necessarily mean it will be the same the next time. Another item to double check with the lawyer.

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I think we are in agreement here. After I posted, I found https://ccrweb.ca/sites/ccrweb.ca/files/prg_2015_07_eng.pdf - which is from 2015 so perhaps out of date, but at the same time it has this tidbit: So at least at one point in time the guidance was that some family members could lose...

    Is it better to switch from US to Canadian Citizen?

    Going off-topic but - how? How can someone obtain PR by retiring in Canada? Asking for my extremely elderly grandfather.

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I'm of the opinion that this person needs to see the lawyer right away regardless... IRCC might already be investigating and preparing for the cessation process in response to the rejected citizenship app + webform. I was seeing the same thing. In addition, they seem to have handled a cession...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I'd include it, as you sent it via webform so they almost certainly know about it. I'd be concerned about this too, but leaving this out if they already know about it could bring about misrepresentation charges, which makes a negative outcome more likely. I think you need professional advice...

    Foreign Work Experience - Misrepresentation or not?

    It can matter - you don't want to do anything that can be accused of as misrepresentation. Remember that IRCC has copies of everything you sent for all previous applications, and can check if you left something out that was included in an older application (like a study permit app). I agree...

    Is it better to switch from US to Canadian Citizen?

    This reminded me of www dot youtube.com slash watch?v=tZqys1zrXv0 for some reason - a video by NomadCapitalist on why you want to leave the US. But even though he is a former US citizen who gave up his citizen after living many years overseas, he says (seemingly as a recommendation) not to give...
