Hey all, Did you guyz all come in via airplane? I wonder if there was anyone who got rejected from the land borders

Thank you very much for the replies guyz! Very helpful as usual. Indeed I plan to stay two full years once I enter Canada but it does bother me to think that I can only sponsor my wife after the 2 years I fulfill within Canada. I guess it would be a price to pay for not meeting PROs... However...

Hey everyone (and Leon and Msafiri) It's almost a habit now to log in and check the forum daily lol. That of course means I have issues with PR obligations too I guess... Anyhow, here's a bit of a detail regarding my PR status. I received my PR card when I was a minor and was able to renew it...

Hi Infimm, What do you mean by coming in as a "visitor?" My Korean passport indicates that I have a PR passport which means I have permanent residency of another country (Canada, USA, Austrailia, etc). Do you mean that once I arrive in Canada and enter through customs, that I should tell the...

Hey all, Man.. this tax assessment thing is getting me confused. I'm currently outside of Canada and I'm planning to return 4~5 months before my PR expires in Sept.2014 due to personal issues. I was then planning to reside in Canada for 2 years (if I do get in) attending an MBA program and then...

Hey Msafiri Which border did you take to cross from US to Canada?

Hey ppl does this only apply to ppl residing or wanting to reside in BC?

Hey Leon One of the ways you can meet the residency requirements offshores is when "they are outside Canada employed on a full-time basis by a Canadian business or in the public service of Canada or of a province." How can I prove that I was hired by a Canadian company? The reason I'm asking...

Hey all Yes, my Korean driver's license is still valid. Should I give it a try for renewal? P.S. I'm from the Gangnam Style part of Korea lol

Dear Scylla That is exactly what I'm afraid of. The "working-holiday" visa is granted to people who are between ages of 18-30 and she will be barely making the age limit next year. Furthermore, I've gone through the applications and it requires the visa applier to mention all the school work...

many thanks clubcanada! wow this program seems to be a real solution! one question though... I think the 2012 quota is already up. Do you think this program will be renewed every year?

Regarding driver's license, I have my Korea license and I know that I'm able to change it to a Canadian one. However I think there's a line saying that I should exchange my driver's license within 6 months entering Canada or something... I immigrated to Canada in 2002... so that doesn't work...

Thank you guyz for your answers. I've given it much thought and I'm wondering if the best possible way for me and my gf is to first enter into Canada and reside for 6 months (since we're from a visa exempt country) and then have her apply to one of the ESL institutions to extend her stay (with...

Hey Leon and others We're all so thankful for your advice every now and then. I have a question to ask. I'm from Korea (VEC) and I'm planning to move back to Canada for good 2 years from now. I got my PR Card renewed on 2009 Sept. so legally, I should have entered Canada last month and should...

Hi Sarmin What kind of questions did the customs officer ask you? Did he ask how long you stayed out of the country and why? It'd be great if you could tell us the whole story from beginning to end!

Seriously Leon, you're the best. I wasn't expecting an answer this late at night! Sorry for continuously repeating myself... I'll give you the facts. - from a visa exempt country - have 3~4 months prior to PR card expiration - permanent residency requirement not met From these facts, is it...

Thanks a lot guyz. So in what circumstances do people enter Canada by a private car? Is it when your PR card has expired? Since my PR card will have about 3~4 months period before expiration. Does that mean I might as well just take the plane? I'm just trying to look for the safest way to...

Hey Leon my health card expired 2006. I wasn't able to renew it afterwards since I studied in the States and worked outside of Canada. I'm planning to return next year and have a couple of questions. 1) I plan to visit Canada next year and then permanently return a year after that. When should...

Oh one more thing.... I've already renewed my PR card once. Do I still have the 2 years in 5 years requirement even after I renewed my PR card once already? Thanks.

Thank you for the reply Farid!!!! Sorry, one more question. So basically if I have 2~3 months left before expiration they will let me in. Correct? Then is there an advantage of getting into Canada by land (Private Car from U.S.) or should I just take the airplane if there is no difference...
