I'm about to finalize my LMIA application package and am trying to verify what information needs to be included on the official job offer letter. Obviously, the package contains tons of information from other sources, like my T4s and the job advertisement, etc. I just don't want to have the...

One more quick question: what is the deadline for the application relative to the expiration of the job bank posting? I thought I saw 3 months, but I can't remember and can't find it on ESDC. Does anyone know?

Thanks, Scylla! :)

Hi all, My company has prepared an LMIA application for me (I'm currently here on a NAFTA visa). My question is whether we have to pay the application fee or not, as ESCD indicates that this is waived if companies are applying only in support of a PR application. Could someone confirm whether...

Thanks, Scylla. That's not the answer I was hoping to hear, and I know she'll be bummed, but good to know. By this time next year, fingers crossed it'll be a moot point. Again, appreciate the feedback. Cheers.

Hi all, Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered before, but I've looked through the posts and couldn't find anything relevant. So . . . . I'm in the EE pool and in the meantime am working on a NAFTA visa which I plan to renew in January. My Grade 11 daughter would like to get a...

Thanks again, Asivad Anac. I'll keep you posted, and I just wish I'd found this forum much sooner than I did. It could have saved me a world of frustration! :)

Thanks for the speedy reply, Asivad Anac! The reason why I thought POF wasn't required for CEC is from several threads on this forum, one of which I'm pasting below. Apparently it's based on direct communication from CIC...

Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered. My EE profile has been active for a few months and I'm registered in the job bank. At 385 points, I'm unlikely to be in a draw anytime soon, but my company is working on getting an LMIA for me. Fingers crossed, but not holding my breath...

Hi all, I posted a few times last year when my lawyer's mistakes resulted in a very messed-up PR app (under the former system). I'm happy to say I was able to resolve my work issue by getting a NAFTA visa, which was renewed in early January. Having got everything else in proper order, I applied...

Just to update you all, I crossed through at Peace Arch yesterday and received a one-year renewable NAFTA work permit. I won't say it was a pleasant experience, but it wasn't horrible, either. When the subject of applying for restoration came up, the guard told me in no uncertain terms that it...

One more thing: does anyone have any idea which might be the best border crossing in BC's lower mainland? The obvious choice is Peace Arch, but it's super busy. Would another crossing be simpler, or can all crossings even do POE work visas? Grateful for any feedback.

Thank you, jes_ON. I got my employer's offer of employment this afternoon and headed through the border overnight, with some local stops tomorrow just to keep my Plan B open in case something comes up at the border. I have all the documents I believe I need, but now I'm wondering if there's...

Just an update to my (unique) situation. I spoke to another lawyer this afternoon who's affiliated with this website. Based on this conversation, I'm going to do the following: -Leave Canada with my American daughter before our 90-day restoration period expires on February 28 -Spend two days in...

I totally agree. This heading may incite fear and anxiety when lots of us are already experiencing more than enough of that. Just my .02. :)

Hi there, and I'm very sorry to hear what's happened. Has your application been rejected or returned as incomplete? I'll share my experience. I got my application returned mid-December due to a missing IELTS score. I resubmitted everything in early January, without filling out any new forms...

Thanks for the heads-up, jes_ON! Will keep you guys posted as things unfold.

I got my AOR today, too. Hurray! Looking forward to other positive news from the other January applicants.

Thank you everyone! Today I received my AOR. I am just so relieved and excited, as I had so feared that my application would be refused. Great news! This still leaves me in a pickle with the work situation; however, I may be able to apply for an open work permit under NAFTA, which doesn't...

One small piece of good news is that I've just tracked my US passport online, and it's already been mailed by priority mail. Should arrive here on the 16th, and I've got until the end of this month to apply for restoration. Phew!
