Thanks for your response, it makes things a little clearer. I think things have been 'lost in translation' a little on our end and the recruiter's end. When references are given over here it's part of the whole recruitment process, not necessarily part of the final decision making process...

I'm hoping someone can advise me as to whether or not this is standard practice and if there is any way around it. My partner has received his PR but we have not yet moved to Canada (did a soft landing last year). He has had a Skype interview with local government for a role. They are aware of...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I thought the Visa was the stressful part but this just seems so big! Thank you all for your encouragement.

Visas are done and dusted and now the prospect of moving has become a reality. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of what needs to be done now - getting rid of what we aren't shipping, arranging to have everything else shipped, selling our house. How do you coordinate these things so...

Hi all, Thank you for reading. My husband has had a settlement visa granted. We are both (I am Canadian by birth) living abroad and we did a soft landing on the 9th of June. We were told his PR card could take 6 weeks to arrive (it is being sent to my parents who will forward it along to us)...

Thanks for posting your experience and congratulations on your job and PR! My husband and I will be moving to Nova Scotia soon - I am Canadian, he is British. This is the first time I've ever heard about Halifax Partnership Connector Program and ISANS so I'll be looking them up now. Good luck...

Morning all, I thought I'd just share my husband's experience of doing a soft landing back in June. I sponsored my husband on a spouse visa. We landed in Halifax airport from London on a direct flight. We managed to do our landing cards on the electronic kiosks they had. When we got to the...

Fantastic news. Thanks for your replies!

It depends on who looks at it I think. I did the same with our photos! I somehow missed that bit. We received a letter (through our online account) requesting proper photos. Annoyingly they didn't tell us what was wrong with the photos so I had to go trawling through everything trying to find...

Hi Elegua2014, One month is pretty extreme. They gave us 6 and I thought that was too soon. Your only option is to do a soft landing. We will be doing one next month. You just go to Canada to go through the immigration process. Then you can come straight back if you want. We're making a holiday...

Hi all, I think I may have myself a little confused here because I've been reading many immigration experiences of people with different types of visas. My husband has received his PR (I am a citizen by birth) and we are planning a soft landing in Canada next month. We will then return for 6 or...

Thank you for this update! As someone who is preparing to do a soft landing in June I found it really helpful (I'm finding the whole idea of a soft landing stressful as there isn't a lot of information to be found). Would you mind if I asked a few questions? Did they check your funds at this...

Thanks guys that’s really helpful! Now the inventory making begins...

Morning all, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. My husband has been granted a spouse visa. We have been given until September to go through immigration in Canada. We have both been living in the UK (where he is from) for many years and have a home to sell and jobs to leave which will...

Thank you for your advice!! You've been really helpful

Ok, so basically we need to treat it as if we were moving over. ie proof of what is in our bank accounts and what we will be shipping over when we do eventually arrive? You are right, I am a Canadian citizen but I have been living abroad for 16 years.

Thank you for the advice!

Thank you, I didn't realise this. It shouldn't be a problem for my family to send it to us. So I assume this is something that is issued after landing?

Thanks investocrat. You are right, he did get permanent residency. It makes me feel better that you know people who have done something similar.

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I am a Canadian citizen and my husband recently got his visa. We are currently both living outside of Canada and we have been given until September to land in Canada. We think this might be a little tight because we need to sell our house and settle things...
