Hi, We have applied for Canadian citizenship end of November 2019, and current status (as of April 15) is "In Process" and has been such since Feb 24. Our PR cards are expiring in September. We are currently on maternity leave outside Canada, and we were not planning to go back to Canada until...

Hi, During my 1 year maternity leave I spent about 5 months outside Canada in 2016, and 3 months outside Canada in in 2017. Before that I was fully time employed and living in Canada since 2013, and during maternity leave I was receiving EI - maternity leave benefits from the government for...

Hi, I am a USA citizen in living and working in Canada with a work permit that's employer specific, and it is "Engineering Management" category. They didn't need to do an LMO, I got my permit just with the job offer letter. I have no intention of quitting my current full time job with the...

Hi! I am sorry, I meant to share how the medical exam thing worked out at the end. Better late than never? So... we never found a doctor that would give the results to us. But my spouse did take the medical exam, with the understanding that the results will go to the appropriate person in the...

Thank you! When my spouse entered Canada the first time, she already had her VISA, and was getting her work-permit at the Canadian border/immigration. They gave her a list of places where she can get her medical exam done. She did get her work-permit, with the restriction that she cannot work...

I have a question about changing an existing open work permit. My spouse specified in her application that she doesn’t want to work with children/in health care in order to avoid having to take a medical exam, since it would have been pretty inconvenient. However she does want to work with...

Here is an update to our situation. I went to the POE with my, and my spouse's documentation hoping to get work permits for both of us. However, that didn't work. I got my work permit within 15 minutes without any problems. But my wife, since she is from Mexico, had to apply differently. She...
