Hello, I have a technical question about changing status in regards to a university course. I am an international student who got accepted by a university in Canada for a 4-year undergraduate degree. When I applied for the study permit, I attached the letter of acceptance which was given to me...

Hello, I just have an inquiry about how feasible would be to switch from a study permit to a work permit in Saskatchewan. I moved to Alberta with an LMO back in 2013 and worked there as a waiter for two years. Then, I decided to go back to school and got accepted in a university in...

Thanks for the information. Regards.

That's what I was told too. It depends on the officer. Also, we are considering bringing over my mom (the only survivor) to Canada with me while I continue with my studies. If I am correct, she can stay as a visitor for 6 months at a time, also an extension for 6 more months could be issued.

Thanks for the info. As far as the PGWP is concerned, I was told by an immigration lawyer that having skipped one semester might be a problem, however providing Service Canada with a valid motivation for it, such as documentation regarding the passing of a parent, might be helpful.

Hello, Unfortunately, due to a tragic death in the family, I am facing many complicated and sad situations, including what's going to happen with my study permit. First of all, I will provide some details: I am an international student currently studying for a BA, and have started my course in...

Hello everyone, I'd like to present you all with a situation I've been thinking about for quite a while. I am an international student who is currently studying for a BA at a university in Canada. The university I attend is a regular one, with a campus and live lectures. I do know there are...

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

I see. Thanks a lot for the insights. Regards.

I see, but what about my SIN number? I can get hired even if it's expired?

Hello everyone, I'd like some clarifications about my current situation. Any insights or suggestions are very much welcome. I am an international student from Europe who has been living and studying in Canada for 1 and a half years. My study permit expired on May 16th 2017. On May 10th I...

I'm interested in this too. Can anyone provide some insights please?

It's a long story, anyhow I'll try to shorten it for you all. My work permit expires in mid-November this year. In the meantime, I have been accepted to a university for a 4-year BA degree. This university is located in another province from where I live. I haven't applied for a student permit...

Back in 2010 I applied for a 2-year course at a college, got accepted but had to refuse starting my lessons because I got sick. I wasn't living in Canada at the time. In 2013 I got accepted to a university for a 4-year undergraduate degree and same as before, had to renounce to my seat because...

It might also depend on the province. My lawyer says that Alberta is unlikely to give me an LMIA under those conditions...

My employer would be more than willing to pay the 1.000$ fee and provide me with a 2-year job contract. My lawyer thinks it won't work, he's like: You are being sponsored for a low skilled position (waiter), if the employer posts an ad requesting a waiter he'll be flooded with applications. The...

I was sponsored by an employer in Alberta as a waiter with an LMO back in 2013, I got in with the old rules. As far as I understand, after the moratorium in April 2014 lots of things have changed, even the name of the visa (LMIA) and there are plenty more of restrictions now. My LMO was based...
