    I received my CELPIP score as well: L: 11 R: 12 S: 9 W: 8 Indeed, that stupid 8 is costing me 45 CRS points on my PR application! How ridiculous is that! If my W was a 9 I would've had 45 points extra. I purchased re-evaluation for Writing only. What are the chances of my writing getting...

    Proof of Financial Support

    First of all, there is a difference between 'boyfriend' and just a 'friend'. Which of the two is it? When you call it your boyfriend upon arrival, the border officer might assume you have a love relationship with him. This could raise a red flag and the officer will most likely redirect you to...

    I don't understand what the two countries have to do with each other... I don't think people on a Canadian immigration forum are able to give you proper advice about Singapore.

Theoretically, the only rule is no longer than 6 months as a visitor but there are no rules describing whether this be...

    i'm above 50 years

    In addition to what Scylla already said, I have noticed that Canada (more than Europe) only lets people in who can really contribute something to the country and economy. Unlike Europe, where all borders are open and you can literally just walk in and ask for a residence permit, over here there...

I asked the guy on the phone to please send this answer...

    Delayed pay arrives after becoming PR - Need to pay taxes?

    This is actually all there is to say about it. You moved after you worked for the money you got which means that Canada has no rights whatsoever on income tax over money you made outside of Canada and not as a Canadian resident.
