Long story short, I moved completely to Canada on April 5th, 2024 and need to register my business with the CRA to start collecting GST. There's the business registration online thing and the first thing it asks is for your SIN. I enter that and then get this error message: "Error—ERR.210 We...

I'm self employed in the UK and got an SE PR visa for Canada. In the UK you don't have to "register" any differently as a sole trader if you add extra words after your name (and the equivalent of GST comes into effect at around earnings of 60K) so things are quite different in Canada. In...

Howdy chaps and chappettes. I'm finally moving to Toronto on April 5th and I'm compiling my goods accompanying list (it will be very short. The goods to follow list is a blank sheet of paper! ) and, as I was perusing various sources for information on how best to comile this list I saw mention...

Howdy chaps and chapettes. Been a while since I posted but I'm finally moving on April 5th so tying up loose ends and gathering the last bits of information I'm going to need. I'm landing in Toront and I know that OHIP no longer has a waiting period, you can apply and get it almost immediately...

Just wondering if anyone on here works in live events or corporate AV? It's my industry and I was hoping to pick someone's brains about how it works in CA... Hope to hear from someone...

BEFORE YOU READ THIS BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, I AM NOT A LAWYER, I AM NOT AN IMMIGRATION CONSULTANT SO PLEASE DON'T BOTHER ASKING ME TO PM YOU OR ASKING ME FOR LEGAL ADVICE: I WILL NOT ANSWER BECAUSE I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE FOUND AND MY ASSESSMENT OF...

So it looks like the Federal government are finally removing their restrictions (all hinging on JT signing off on them) at the end of this month. Woohoo! Only a year late but if they do it it does mean that I can activate my PR. Assuming it happens I'll be booking my flight for the end of...

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows how feasible it is to simply fly in from the UK, lurk about in the airport and then head home after getting the rubber stamp on the COPR forms... I need to fit this in around work and can't really mix it into a vacation. I'm also unjabbed so would ideally...

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything from the inside about the government getting rid of the 14 day quarantine for the unjabbed?

Finally got my COPR! Such a relief, I'm a little bit shellshocked if I'm honest. It's been such a long and tedious process of waiting and waiting and jumping through hoops but it's finally done! I'm officially a Canadian Permanent Resident!!!! :D :D :D :p :cool: Keep the faith brothers and...

Final passport photos, photo of passport photo page and the 6 page RFV "you have 30 days to send us this stuff so we can issue your COPR" letter all submitted. I'm going to call it: I MADE IT BABY!!! COPR coming soon!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D I cannot say how relieved I...

So, just received a letter requesting I review my details on file with IRCC, supply them with new passport photos and because I'm in an eTA country rather than a visa requirement one, a photocopy of my passport pic page with the next 30 days. If i'f reading the instruction correctly I can...

Just checked my CIC account and the new medical is a pass. :) Says there's an estimated 31 days left on the process of my application. I know that number of days/progress thing isn't really indicative of anything significant but if it's even vaguely accurate I should, SHOULD know what's what...

So, second medical done and submitted (as far as I know, visa medical said they'd passed it on to the ca government). Now I wait again... I didn't even know they'd asked for it, I knew it was coming up for renewal but because the Canadian government's website is a pile of crap I'd given up...

Anyone else having issues with the website? I go there, click the link to sign in with my GCKey, input my details, click go and it sends me straight back to the homepage with the mountains and language selection option. On the odd occassion that it's actually signed me into something it's...

Well, it's been exactly 2 years since I submitted my self employed visa application. I passed my medical back at the beginning of Feb and have since heard bugger all. I messaged them to find out what was happening and was "politely" told to bugger off and not to bother them. My brother is in...

And if so, how long after? I passed my medical back at the beginning of Feb and it's been 5.5 months now... I know they're operating differently due to covid stuff but has anyone who's application went in before all this madness had their PPR after their medical and if you have, how long...

Not sure if it's been posted before but the CIC News bulletin I've just received has told me that there's a new Online Portal for Landing as a Permanent Resident. Apparently it was rolled out due to Covid stuff but it's proved it's worth and looks to be an ongoing service. Take a look below...

I took my medical today at Visa Medicals in London. Chest X-Ray (evidence of an old chest infection from way back, Radiologist didn't seem concerned) Blood drawn (results to come) Urine Tested all good: no blood, sugars and protein (protein is a very good marker for kidney problems) Breath...

Just minding my own business in the pub, tinkering away on some website design stuff and my email pings. Got my Request for Medical :D Just over a year now since application submission so hopefully things are moving nicely...
