I don't think just some Chinese investors (several hundreds or a couple of thousands of them) buying properties in Australia can simply lead the price increase in housing market. They may certainly play as one of the factors, but definitely not a major one. These investors aim at the high-end...

My file was transferred to Seattle on May 11 as well.

I don't know how serious the deportation order is going to affect your application. You'll have to declare your status and immigration history to the Canadian immigration. But, as long as you were Legally Admitted into the US and stayed for more than one year, you are eligible to apply at...

So far, everything about the rule change is just a rumor. Nobody can give definite answers about the impact. We should wait and see what happens with CIC.

Actually, even NOW Buffalo doesn't accept any in-person applications on Wednesdays. I think they closed the office to the public on Wednesdays for quite a while. http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/buffalo/imm/hours-heures.aspx?lang=eng

If you leave the country, the collection agencies may not go after you... but 15,000 isn't a small amount for credit card debt, and it may create some problems in future. Nobody knows what will happen in future. Canada and the US are so close to each other, and you may need to return to US for...

I think they'll probably update the processing time in early March. According to the CIC website, they need to gather statistics of applications for the past 12 months in order to have a large enough pool. Since the change was made on Feb. 26, 2009, I would assume the update would happen at...

Could you please verify where you saw that "the normal processing times for FSW cases from Buffalo has gone up from 24 to 26 months for 80% of cases"?

Yes, it is going to be a problem. When a person is applying for a study permit, he's not supposed to have any intention to immigrate to Canada, since a student visa and student permit only grants a temporary resident status. The consulate or embassy in the US is going to consider if he has any...

Belize, do you have any proof or sources that can verify your statement? I think Canada certainly cares about the criminal records of the applicants. However, if someone is deported for some other reasons, such as visa overstay, which is not a criminal offense, I think it's still possible for...

Re: I have got rejection by Visa officer made mistake on my marks. Need help Ple Is your employment offer veryfied by HRSDC? An AEO must be verified by HRSDC before sending the application to CIC.

I think the answer is NO. Refused admission is not the same as overstaying. Your spouse was admitted into the US legally with a valid visa. He/she is not deported, and has not received any documents from the government asking him to leave the US. So the answer is NO. But, on the form where...

It's still better to take the IELTS...Only the IELTS score is solid proof of your language ability.

Could you tell us where you heard the news....I can't find any information regarding the change

I think people go to Canada for different reasons, and everybody has his/her own preferences. Though Japan is a highly developed country, there's a lot of pressure and not much diversity in Japan. The Japanese culture sometimes is overwhelming. Anyway, my point is every country has its own...

For AEO, your potential employer has to send the job offer to HRSDC to get the approval. They have to show that the job offer is genuine, you meet the qualifications, and the compensation is comparable to similar jobs in the industry. In other words, your employer has to sponsor your...

Please check this post: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/bill-c50-changesvery-important-notice-t9967.0.html It was posted on this discussion board last year in August. The Immigration Minister issued "new" instructions for Federal Skilled Worker applications in...

The Bill C-50 was approved last year in June. Actually, the current immigration process is under the new direction of Bill C-50. it's not really something new.

A voluntary departure is different from deportation. You can google and find relevant information about the difference
