Scylla, Leon: As always, thank you for responding quickly. Scylla, Could you please advise if the general activities you highlighted above are completed sequentially? I ask because sponsor verification was completed in June 2013, and I also have confirmation from CIC that my medical results...

Scylla and Leon, Many thanks for your detailed answers. I found them quite helpful. Just out of curiosity, what is involved in spousal sponsorship which mandates a processing time of 14 months? My husband is a Canadian citizen and I reside in the United States. Any feedback and insights are...

Hello everyone, Since you've all been so helpful in the past, I thought I'd stop by once again to provide an update on my situation: - My fiance and I got married in December 2012. I completed my CIC medical exam in January 2013. - In an attempt to be closer to my husband and also complete...

Scylla, Thanks so much for the helpful response. I'll take a look at the link for spousal sponsorship and revert back if I have any questions. strider316ny, Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, I'm not permitted to post links. It appears the ability to post links is restricted to certain...

Hello everyone, I've been on this forum for a little over 3 years now. In that time, I've tried many different ways to get into Canada: Study permit (got rejected twice) Manitoba PNP (couldn't find a sponsor for the MAS form so I didn't submit it) Other PNPs (you need to find an employer...

All, I've always received direct helpful responses to posts on this forum, so I'm sure this time will be no different. :) The recent change to the Canadian Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program has narrowed down the pool of eligible applicants even more, so I'm looking into Provincial...

Thank you Leon! I appreciate the prompt and detailed response. I found it quite helpful. I'm trying to follow your advice but I'm running into obstacles. How do I "convince an employer" to hire me? I've found several positions I'm qualified (and sometimes overqualified to do) but getting...

I've read some helpful responses on this forum, so I'm hoping someone can assist with my inquiries. I came to the U.S. 12 years ago on a B1/B2 visitor's visa stamped for 6 months. It's pretty apparent that I overstayed. I completed my high school and college education in the U.S. Graduated...
