English speaking part of Canada is based on Common Law as opposing to Civil Law in Quebec. If you receive a degree in Quebec (Montreal) your practice would be limited to Quebec. However, if you do LLM later, you will be able to take a Bar Exam and practice all over Canada. What area of law...

depends, it could be as little as 3 months to about roughly 9 months (if you have an invitation to apply). If you don't have ITA, it will all depends on your score.

that's too expensive try Tecksavvy, Koodo or Wind mobile, they have more moderate pricing. Grocery is pretty expensive, however it depends on the area where you live. If you plan to have a car, many people go to do their groceries outside the downtown district in places like Costco, where...

Not sure where you got the information that "a job market is booming". Not only that unemployment is rising, competition is becoming more fierce due to constant increase of international students (they are granted a work permit after graduation). Basically, employers are hiring younger, cheaper...

Good Evening, All. My little brother wants to apply to Canadian Universities for Computer Sciences. We are still in process of looking for a decent ESL program so he can pass TOEFL with a good score and get some experience living in Canada. The main obstacle that I find is his learning...

Thank you, scylla, you always provide very insightful answers. Even in the event I was qualifying to sponsor him, the process is very long. It would be more beneficial for him to go through skilled immigration in case he wants to immigrate. I saw similar posts around, however I thought the fact...

Good Afternoon, All. I would like to acquire if it is possible to bring a minor (18 years old) brother to Canada as a part of Family Class Sponsorship program. He will be turning 19 in September. Would it be easier (or possible) to apply for Sponsorship if he is a minor or is it better when he...

October 23rd, still waiting. At that time I was told it would take 43 days. Every 5 days I check, they add 10 more days. I am a bit of overdue for a PR party as I thought I would throw it once PR card is received :)

Re: Should I stay or should I go? getting a job is difficult NOT because of citizenship, it is just difficult. I just want you to bear it in mind, because if you get PR and then citizenship, it would not change your job situation tremendously. Citizenship is not some kind of green pass to all...

your immigration status does affect your perspective employment. Employers tend to favour PRs/citizens over work-permit holders. As a work permit holder, the chances of getting a contract job as opposing to full-time are higher. The job market is pretty tight now, many employers tend to ask for...

lol'd at your post. It wasn't an issue after all...the officer who assured you "travelling will not be an issue" calculated all possible outcomes. I am joking of course, I hear those stories all the time and pretty much that's the reason I am postponing my vacation.

Your course of action should depend on how confident you are that in the next rounds points will drop (and immigration laws will not become stricter) and when your work permit will expire. I think at this point many people mix up rules for paper-based CEC and EE based CEC. The system generated...

do you really need to decline your ITA though? because from my understanding if the information is incorrect, you can use some tool to recalculate the points and see if you have a right to accept ITA. If you work experience is going to be 365 within a week and you accept the invitation AFTER...

Many believe that asking for asylum is the only and the fastest way to immigrate to Canada. It is not true, there are multiple ways including family class sponsorship, skilled worker and student programs that could be served as a foundation for immigration. Have you tried to go through Express...

I find it highly unfair also, but the Gov't is being shady about it. Tomorrow JT should give a press conference considering the refugee situation. Hope everything turns out for the best for you and your family.

I just applied for PNP-Ontario and once ITA was received, I recalled my application. Since I haven't received AOR from PNP at that time, I got a full refund. I find it a bit unfair since they sorted out my documents and paid for the express delivery. I wish they took at least $100 from that...

Well there is a whole bunch of people in between Phd and Tier II college. What's wrong with Tier II college anyway? I believe it wasn't mentioned anywhere that International Students DESERVE a job, it was just said that it's hard to compete with Canadians and it's hard to land a NOC approved job...
