    Will I get 10 points for the FSW score if I get a job offer from my own business?

    I read about Owner Operator LMIA in the business section, and also about LMIA in general in the Labour section of the forums. I did find out on YouTube that Owner Operator LMIA would give me points (50 or 200) towards the CRS total count. My question here, for now, is, would an Owner Operator...

    Will I get 10 points for the FSW score if I get a job offer from my own business?

    Thanks Scylla for the clarification. What if I get an Owner Operator LMIA? ... Will I get then the 10 points job offer to count towards the 67 points that I need for Federal Skilled Worker? If the answer to the above is yes, what exactly do I need to get an Owner Operator LMIA under the new...

    Will a job offer from my own business in Canada count as 10 points towards the FSW's required 67?

    Let's say I am running an online business, GodsGiftToCanada.com, outside of Canada, for two years part time (15 hours a week), netting me $12,000 (US dollars) a year, and I document that for my Federal Skilled Worker application to get 9 points of work experience. And let's say I register a...

    Does the startup visa require incorporating in Canada

    Thanks Mauchan for the updated information. I don't want to incorporate in Canada, neither before, nor after a PR issuance. So, I guess Canada will have to wait for its gift from God until an alternative route to PR opens up for me.

    Does the startup visa require incorporating in Canada

    Thanks Mauchan for your reply. http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2013/2013-03-30/html/notice-avis-eng.html does indeed say: "(2) A business that is not incorporated at the time the commitment is made is still considered to be a qualifying business if its incorporation is conditional on the issuance...

    Does the startup visa require incorporating in Canada

    Here is a question I emailed yesterday to a guy a LaunchpadPEI, a startup incubator among CIC's designated organizations, that doesn't provide any money (I don't need any), and takes no equity. If you say Yes, please provide a reference in terms of a CIC web page stating so, or a Canadian law...

    Any Vancouver IAD Appeals tracker ?

    As mentioned in another thread, I appealed to Vancouver IAD last week. Do you know of any online Vancouver IAD Appeals tracker ? I would like to get some idea about when my appeal will be scheduled for a hearing. GGTC

    Reported. Appealed. Now what ?

    I was asked a few questions in a private message by somebody who didn't meet RO, is outside Canada, and hoping to enter Canada by land and not be reported. I don't like responding to private messages as, if I am going to go through the effort of replying, I want several people to learn from it...

    Reported. Appealed. Now what ?

    Thanks Montrealita for that information. In which city did your husband appeal in ? If he lost his appeal, how long after he lost such an appeal did have to leave ? Did they give him a 30 days delay to leave ?

    Reported. Appealed. Now what ?

    Thanks Rob_TO for your reassuring reply. How do I go exactly about getting the temporary 1-year validity PR card ? Should I just call CIC this Monday, or do I need IAD to send me some reply first so I can prove to CIC that I have a pending appeal ?

    Reported. Appealed. Now what ?

    I entered Canada (British Columbia) last week by land (US border) after slightly more than three years of absence (fourteen years to be exact). I was reported for failing to meet the residency obligation, issued a Departure Order, and given an appeal form in case I wanted to appeal. I just sent...

    Visiting Canada after 3 years in US

    Great strategy. Please keep us posted about what happened at the border. I am in the same boat as you (actually worse - my card expired 8 years ago, and I haven't set foot in Canada in 13 years). Let us know also how you entered Canada ? Driving ? Airport ? In either case, which one ? What...

    Hi Loyal2016, Could you tell us about your experience entering Canada this year ? Did you fly, drive, walk or swim ? What questions you were asked by the border agent, and what replies did you give him ? Thanks.
