Hello everyone, So I've looked everywhere for info on this and can't get through to CRA. Apparently, my husband has to file a tax return even though he earned no income (as we're STILL waiting for his work permit to come through) and that he still is waiting on his PR app. He was never given a...

Okay, but I thought once you had a work visa, you could then apply to other employers showing your work visa and therefore showing you were legally entitled to work in Canada. Are you saying that because he didn't actually start working for that particular company he can't go that route? Is...

Well, this is probably something that's never been posted but I'm hopeful someone can help. My fiance was told last week that he was good to come over from the UK and start his job on the 10th. Literally, while he was flying over the Atlantic, he received and email from his new "boss" saying the...

Hello, Does anyone know the stages of the FSW application process? My fiance has an interview at the Canadian consulate in Edinburgh and we don't know if that's the final step before approval or if there's more to come. Anyone know? Thanks so much. :)

JRP, I googled this as I'd like to know the same thing. The best I found was a post from last year asking the same thing on another site. They were advised not to try it. While it is okay for you to do, it raises red flags with customs and immigration. If they think that you're trying to get...

Thank you Namaste, He is being offered a position as an IT consultant and the language and other qualifications won't be an issue.So if the employer has told him it will be a month or 2 for the paperwork to be approved then I'm assuming they must mean a temporary work visa, and the others can...

Hello sn2014, My boyfriend has just been offered a position with a company and they've said they'll handle all paperwork for FSW. WEre you approved and able to move to and work in Canada within 6 weeks of applying? Thanks.

Hello, My boyfriend (from Scotland) has been offered a job in Alberta and the employer has said that they will arrange all paperwork and get it fast tracked so that it will be approved within a month or 2. Is this possible? Also, can he stay in Canada while he waits for approval, or does he...

Just reviewed the link you sent. Very interesting program but must be very new as they don't even have any examples of wait times yet. Still makes me fairly optimistic that this might be the bet route for him to take if he decides he wants to move here as it fits best with his experience and...

Okay, so my friend is also considering maybe starting his own business or looking at contract work when he comes to Canada from Scotland. Is there a particular Visa required for doing that or is it similar to the US where as long as you can show a business plan, funding and will provide jobs for...

Thank-you for taking the time to review my post, scylla. Just one more question. The LMO application, during the waiting period, can my friend work or only once the LMO is granted? (Just seems like a long time for an employer to hold a vacant job open just because of paperwork, and therefore...

Hello, My friend is coming to visit from Scotland next month on a 6 month visitor's visa, but he has mentioned that while here, he might like to check out the job market. (He's an IT specialist). Is it possible to change a visitor's visa to a work visa if he finds an employer that's interested...
