Hi ocanada, Looks like we're still on the same path, with you a few months ahead! Good luck. When I spoke to the Campbell Cohen people about this, it seemed that you do the following: 1. Submit FSW (which, like you, I've done now) 2. Apply for CSQ 3. IF CSQ is successful, WITHDRAW the FSW...

Thank you, you're a star!

Hi all, Is it possible to apply for a Canadian work permit while I have a PR application in the (long, long) queue? I have seen answers in the affirmative, but they were all from around 2000-2001 and I just wonder if anything has changed. If that were to happen, would I be able to transfer my...

Hi ocanada, I'm also very curious about this scenario. I'm putting in a standard Skilled Worker application now, but might be interested in jumping over to the Quebec programme in future. It seems that the CSQ itself is issued by Quebec CIMM with no input from CIC, so the existence of a...

Hi Jhorene, I'm a contractor working at one of the big phone companies. I have looked at the idea of getting job + work permit but that looks really hard to achieve -- you need to persuade an employer that YOU are worth going through the mounds of paperwork, labour market opinions and delays...

Hi there, Well I'm an IT guy in South Africa, and I'm going it alone. The information from CIC (www.cic.gc.ca) and forums like this one is really good. I think that consultants are most useful for people who either don't have strong enough English to understand the process clearly, or have...

Thanks OCanada! I'm in South Africa, where the queue is very very long, so Quebec might be an option -- though my French is fairly basic so I would want to spend another year or so getting it up to speed before trying TEF and CSQ. In the mean time I don't think it'll hurt to have a place in in...

Hi all, I plan to submit a PR application shortly, but I'd like to check something first. I have a bachelor's degree (3 years + 1 year to make it a BSc(Hons)), and (much) more than 4 years experience doing skilled work, which on paper makes my points situation quite reasonable. However, my...
