    SINP- Skilled Worker vs. Existing Work Permit question

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone could clear something up in the Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program information regarding Skilled Worker category and Existing Work Permit category. From what I am reading, it looks like the only thing that makes the categories different is that the...

    Conjugal Partner Sponsorship - Canadian Female, American Male

    Why doesn't he try to get a work permit in Canada and move in with you on that first? That's exactly what I'm doing right now (though I'm not dealing with the age issue you are). I got mine from being a full-time student through an organization called BUNAC. If he recently graduated and was in...

    Current temp worker sponsorship questions

    I'll for sure be talking to my employer this week about the LMO, as I am positive they'll help me out as much as they can. If I successfully extended my work here, is there any way to apply for PR through that, or would common-law/ marriage still be the better approach in that case? Just a...

    Current temp worker sponsorship questions

    That's some good info, and I'm very sure my job would try everything in their power to keep me (there is a huge turnover rate at my job and it would take over a month to train someone to do what I do). My worry about the LMO is what the government would have to say about it. Maybe my fastest...

    Current temp worker sponsorship questions

    Well, this all seems pretty doable and I should be able to apply at the end of January 2013, since that will mark 1 year I've lived with my girlfriend, for common-law. The problem then would be what do I do for the potential 1 year processing time? Even if I can live here during process, not...

    Current temp worker sponsorship questions

    Oh, so permanent residency would allow me to work in Canada? That's good news- and I'm assuming that would act similar to my current open-status work permit? That seems to be what I want then. Waiting a few months isn't too painful, considering I can still work here and support myself until the...

    Current temp worker sponsorship questions

    Wow, that's rough. I guess I need to rethink my approach to this then. The wording of "permanent residency" feels a little misleading, but that's why I'm here asking so many questions. I feel it's safe to assume that citizenship or dual citizenship would allow me to work anywhere, but from what...

    Current temp worker sponsorship questions

    I currently have an open work permit I obtained through being a full time student in the US. I graduated before coming into Canada, so I wouldn't have a reason to return to school. Ideally, I'm looking to extend my permit with an open status, rather than being locked down into my current job in...

    Current temp worker sponsorship questions

    Hello, My name is Marc and I am currently living in Saskatoon, SK on a temporary work permit. I've been working here for about 8 months now and living with my girlfriend here since January (the day I crossed the border from the United States). I am trying to find a way to continue my work...
