Hi guys, so before my Working Holiday Visa ended, I filed for a change of status with immigration Canada online. I asked for 6 months. Then, shortly before my visa ran out and while my application was still being processed, I left the country for the USA. I came back 3.5 weeks after and...

Hi there, I am from Germany. Extending my status as a visitor sounds like an option. However, my fear is, due to the fact that I have already stayed quite a while in Canada on my previous visas, I might raise some red flags when applying for the extension. Or do you think, argueing that I want...

Hi Canuck, thanks for the clarification and sorry for confusing terms. Your statement sounds good... that gives me more confidence to go ahead with my plans. Thanks so much.

Hi guys, I have a sufficient amount of funds which will sustain me in Canada for a while. My question is, is it even possible to have my visa (6 months visitor) extended? And if I do so, should I mention my relationship status in the application? Also, what would be the maximum I could go for...

Hello everybody, I was in Canada on an IEC (Working Holiday Visa). During that stay, I entered a relationship with a Canadian woman. Shortly before my visa ran out, I left the country for about 3,5 weeks and then came back. I am on a 6 months visitors visa now, which is running out soon. My...

Hi friends, I have a question concerning the extension my stay in Canada. I was on a IEC (Working Holiday Visa) and then left the country shortly before it expired. After about a month in the US, I returned and was given a 6 month visitor visa at the border. This is soon to expire. I am in a...

Great, so now I know it is number one and I also know I really have to put emphasis on that letter of explanation. I will definitely do that. Thanks a lot.

Hi guys, I am currently on the IEC Visa (Working Holiday) and I want to change my status to Tourist so I can spend some more time in the country. I have read all about this process here on the forum already. I just need to know one thing. In the application form I have to check one of the...

I score 437 but I haven't launched my application yet..so I will follow this thread, for sure. Good luck to everybody.

Hi Dobes, thanks for the clarification. That is a definite help. You and the others have persuaded me to go without a lawyer. I think I can do it and this forum seems to full of knowledgeable and helpful people. I think the letters of reference and my NOC shouldn't be a problem. I have very...

Hello guys, quick question: Should I or do I need to get my education assessed before launching the application? One provider stated the processing time being 25 weeks.... that is crazy and would set back my application for quite some time... What's the best thing to do?

Hi again, did your friend apply directly for the Provincial Nomination or was handled through his FSW application?

Thanks for the encouragement and the hint with the provincial nominee program. That might be an alternative route to take. For this to work, should I apply for a Provincial Nomination beforehand or just go on with the EE FSW program? One more question: Is the selection process also taking into...

I honestly wouldn't know how to improve my score. I looked at the google doc listed here, and so many people have like 460, 470 and more. I mean I calculated top language results (in english), I am 37 years old, I am single, I have more than 7 years experience in my field, I have a proper...

Hi guys, I haven't taken the IELTS yes, but had done it some years ago. I just used the approximate same points. According to that, my points are 437. I don't have a proper job offer in Canada. My NOC code is 0124. What do you all think? I actually had an immigration lawyer from Victoria...

Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate it. I really feel they are all only in for the money. They didn't leave a good impression. Can you tell me what I will need to prove my 6+ years experience as Marketing Manager (NOC 0124)? I have letters of reference for each position I held, even in...

Hi guys, can you tell which one of you is using an immigration lawyer or consultant for the application? I am contemplating about but am not sure if it's really needed. It is a lot of money in the end. What would be your advice? Thanks so much. Philipp

Hi guys, happy to have found this forum since I find myself stuck right now. I did several test to compute my point for the FSW programm and I scored about 76 which makes me eligible to apply. However, I neither have a job in Canada nor a proper employment offer. Now I was told that this is...
