Hi all, Many thanks for the really helpful replies! We'll sit down and discuss this but will probably end up obtaining coverage for the first three months. Annoyingly we have no choice but to leave on October 1st; the flights aren't daily and we're bringing animals so need to arrive on...

Anyone with any ideas or experience of this? :)

Hello all, Just a quick question I hope. Here are a few facts to begin with: 1. I am British and my wife is Canadian. 2. We both live and work in the UK currently but are going to settle in BC in a month. 3. My wife has lived and worked in the UK since 2005. 4. My application for PR is underway...

I used paperclips and had no issues with my application. I preferred to send it in a way that made it as easy as possible for the person processing it to see at a glance that I'd included everything I was supposed to and that nothing was missing. As someone who works in a boring office all day...

Thanks for that. So that's a hearing for the Bad-faith bargaining complaint that has been lodged, rather than a hearing to actually resolve the original dispute... I'm not sure what the win-win outcome is in this situation but I hope they find it soon.

Hi there, Firstly, even if you're over 28 years old, include everything back until you WERE 18. I filled in the form correctly (I'm 32 so covered my history back until I was 22) but they still came back and asked me to provide information from when I was 18 so save yourself the time and go back...

Does anyone know if there's a good source of up-to-date information and news about the PAFSO strike? The PAFSO website doesn't seem to have any news within the last two weeks but I'd presume that people on both sides would be lobbying pretty hard to resolve the dispute one way or another? Or am...

Am I the only one who found the whole application process anything BUT streamlined and straightforward?! :)

Good advice above but I'd presume that the key thing would be: if you're earning money that is paid to you by Canadians (or a Canadian company) for work you do in Canada, that's classed as 'working'. IE volunteering isn't working (you're not depriving anyone of a wage). Being employed by a...

Excellent - thank you! So as long as my employer is not based in Canada and my pay comes from outside Canada, I should be fine. Great! I expect it'll be very temporary (assuming PAFSO are operational again before too long). Cheers!

Hi all! I'm trying to ensure I don't fall foul of any laws here so would appreciate any advice/thoughts before I do anything else! 1. I'm in the UK (British Citizen) and have applied for PR under the family (spouse) class via London. 2. My wife has been approved as a sponsor and we have...

Hi all. Can I just clarify that the 'risk' mentioned below is solely down to the friend's PR card being expired and the risk that, upon re-entry, immigration might not recognise her PR status? My understanding of the time obligations as a landed PR immigrant are here: www...

Many thanks for the advice. I have now paid the $490CAD for the Permanent Residency fee. I'll print off this second receipt, put my details (Credit Card holder and immigrant/applicant) on them and submit them with the application. I'll pop a post-it note on each of them to specify that one of...

Hi there, Long time lurker, first time poster and all that. :) I've used the search function but am still unable to find an exact hit for what I'm after - hopefully someone on here can help me briefly. Here's the situation: I'm a Brit (since birth), living in England with my Canadian wife (who...
