Thanks kateg. Going back to: 1. Entered as a PR or Visitor - You mentioned I entered as a PR. But my US passport was not stamped with anything, whether a visitor stamp or a PR stamp (if there's such thing). The officer also mentioned he couldn't find anything on the computer with the IMM1000...

Sorry to steal the thread. But my question is relevant to this post, and I hope you guys can help me. Here are the facts: 1. I do possess a Record of Landing (IMM1000) 2. I do not meet the PR RO 3. I have H&C reasons and I am hoping to apply for a PRTD based on H&C grounds. Details to follow...

The problem right now is I don't meet the RO. I can try to appeal based on H&C grounds, but it's very unlikely. I was advised to renounce the PR and enter Canada as a NAFTA Professional, and then apply to the FSW program. I was told that I cannot get a NAFTA work permit if I currently have a...

I have a job offer from a Canadian employer, but I haven't signed it or accepted it. Does that count and would that add points to my profile for the FSW program?

Folks, would it be easier and faster to renounce my PR status and re-apply through the Federal Skilled Workers Program? In the meantime, as mentioned by goldmary, is it possible to live/work in say, Detroit, then once I get my PR, I move to Windsor and live there, but work in Detroit? I read it...

Just to clarify, is she 20 right now (in the year of 2015)? Are you or your spouse a Canadian PR or citizen? If both are yes, then she can probably keep her PR status, because if she was accompanying a Canadian PR or citizen who is her parent, that counts as residency, until the age of 19. So...

Hi, I'm asking about the Federal Skilled Workers Program. 1. Does nationality matter? Would it be more advantageous to apply as a US or UK passport holder? Or declare both? 2. Which is the fastest visa office in the US in terms of processing time? 3. If I apply now, what would be the...

Thank you Leon. Regarding: 1) The "Other documents" didn't specify IMM1000, so I was a bit worried. So when can I get a PR card if I successfully entered as a PR? Do I have to wait for 2 full calendar years? 2) Let's say I entered on a NAFTA work permit and applied for a PR within a year...

Re: #1: I just checked the website again (cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=064&t=10), the option of returning to Canada with a IMM1000 in a private car is gone. Can someone please confirm if this still works? #2: To my knowledge, the NAFTA TN Visa for US is a nonimmigrant visa for...

Scylla & any other immigration legal professionals, I need your help. Given the facts: - I am a landed immigrant, I have a IM1000 - job I found in Canada qualifies under NAFTA (it's one of the professions listed) - I am a US citizen Questions: 1. If a Canadian employer extends a job offer to...

hi folks, another quick question, if I get a job offer in Canada, can I work there with a work permit? how easy is it, if the company sponsors me? or, how hard is it if the company doesn't want to sponsor me? if the company doesn't sponsor me, can I apply via the NAFTA TN visa scheme/program...

Hi, So I plan to apply via the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Program. I used the questionnaire on the CIC website and I appear to be eligible. I would be grateful if you can share your thoughts and insights. - What's the processing time? Assuming I apply now, when will I expect to receive a...

Thanks guys. A quick question, does the IMM1000 have an expiration date? And what if the IMM1000 is expired, does it mean it's no longer valid and I'm no longer a "Landed Immigrant"? Or, does it mean as long as I had landed before the expiration date, then I would be considered as "landed"...

Thank guys for sharing the info. So when and if they ask me for work authorisation/evidence of my legal status, can I just provide them with a SIN (Social Insurance Number) and as long as it doesn't start with a 8, 9, or 0, would they be fine with it? I only have a IMM1000 (Record of Landing)...

Thank you for your replies. They're really helpful. Re: Driver's license, I can use my US license for the time being? So does it mean that I shouldn't enter Canada for any other purposes other than staying there for at least 2 years? i.e. If I want to visit Canada, every time I enter, I risk...

Thanks guys for your quick responses. I'm over 22 years of age. - SIN: I don't have one. Great to hear I can apply for one with a IMM1000. But can I apply for it with a US address? Or I have to be physically in Canada, with a Canadian address? - RO: If I try to enter Canada with a IMM1000...

Hi everyone, I really need some advice from you guys. Here's my situation: - I lived in Canada for 6 years in the 1990s, but I left Canada as a dependent child with my family (they're all Canadian citizens, but I'm not... long story...) - For years, I was not aware of anything or factors that...
