I probably didnt explain my situation clearly. I have been working for the same Canadian employer since June 2018 while I was still on PGWP. Between Jan 10th 2019 (the day I got PR status) and Feb 1st 2020(right before I physically moved to WA), I resided in Point Roberts, WA and commuted to...

Thanks for the detailed and professional reply. CBSA officers were very happy to help and I was released at NEXUS lane the following time I crossed. Warning is still there though. After contacting MP, I was provided the information that my new PR card has been sent to IRCC Vancouver office and...

I am in a very special situation. I got my PR status in Jan 2019 and from Feb 2020-July 2023 I worked for a Canadian business in the US during which period I got paid in CAD and paid federal and BC tax. I moved back to Canada in July 2023 and live near the border. My employer requires me to work...

I got a ready for visa email a few days from CIC. Myself is the principle applicant who needs a visa to enter Canada However, my wife and my kid hold passports that do not require visa to enter Canada When I mail the passports, do I need to mail all our original passports or just my original...

My wife got a new job in Canada after we submitted the paper application for PR (BCPNP nomination). We want to update the information to IRCC. Can we just use the Web Form? Or do we have to call them? Thanks!

I got BCPNP nomination today. Together with the confirmation of nomination, they also sent me a "conditions of nominations" file, which says you cant be illegally in bc and blablabla, if you have a supporting employer, you gotta work for him, blablabla...pretty standard immigration things No...

timeline is in ur quote, as applicant in SI IPG, no employment is required, no ita needed either, you just apply and get it, though i had trouble convincing them that i have intention to live in BC (Yes I really do....) as a US resident

So a little background first: I am a US greencard holder living in Washington State and I commute to work in BC everyday. I finished a computer science master in a BC university and is perfectly eligible for BCPNP IPG stream degree-wise. I am working as a data entry supervisor in BC. Submitted...

Applied on April 6th. International Post Graduate, SI I am worried since I don't physically reside in BC but I work here, meaning I commute to Vancouver everyday from Washington State. That can be a bad factor in my application which was proved by my friend who is working in China, though I have...

I actually haven't used NEXUS on land crossing yet. I used it once in YVR airport. But I can peep in the regular lane that some people still get questioned when land crossing.

that sounds good thanks so much

Hi, wicaact Thanks for your reply. I am considering the other ways to satisfy the economically establishment requirement(just in case I cannot find such a job, which is not very likely to happen). Say if I own several properties that can be used as rental income, or I can show bank statements...

Yeah probably not exact 3 years. Maybe I'll be outside of Canada during the first 2.5 yrs and come back on time and even give it some room of mitigation. Not traveling outside is okay for me cuz I usually spend several weeks in Asia each year and that's literally nothing.

Can I leave Canada right after I get the PR and come back after 3 yrs and live here permanently? I am not considering naturalization at this moment. Is it good enough to fulfill the residency obligation? Thanks!

The two countries have treaty to avoid double taxation so no worries

I do have a NEXUS. But seems you still need to deal with an officer when doing land crossing, which i will do on a daily basis, but just with less immigration inspection.. Yeah I just tried the calculator as nope said. The absence counts as zero when u show up everyday in Canada. Sounds pretty...

good point thanks!

I am in a pretty sticky situation. I am a US greencard holder studying in Vancouver. I will be living in Washington State and commute to Vancouver, BC everyday to work after graduation. I know normally people consider PR Obligation as the concept of "living in Canada". However, According to...
