what is your citizenship? I know as a US citizen, you can drive to the border - documents in hand - and flag-pole.. return with the study visa in hand. It's still officially done outside of Canada - although the application is processed as you stand there.

I know nothing - but if I saw that letter, I'd see that a checkbox with a check in it - is a checkbox that has been checked! They should accompany you. Think about it - if it was blank, you are not being asked to comply with it. The call centre is great - call them for the answer.

thanks Leon! There are lots of options, which is great. One thing I am finding tedious, is the lack of a centralized University/ College search (or am I missing something?) In England we have a system that lists every course available in the country - through one site with a simple search. If...

Yes, I realise - thanks.. and I updated my post! I am looking at various options as I was initially going through skilled worker, but found that a lawyer was taking us on a not-so-merry dance. Now I am considering studying, but the details are getting annoying! I love this forum and am...

Is CEC specific to the area of study - or can you work for ANY Canadian employee to be eligible?

RE: LMO -if you are eligible and the job offer is eligible, then you will get a positive LMO. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-caregiver.asp RE: experience -if you have 12months in a related field, then you should have some kind of proof of this - contract or paystubs...

I just happened to read this - -the address has to bring the mail they are sending to YOU! Call it what you want, mailing or residence, but it has to obviously reach you! If it were me, I'd be sending sticky labels AND an envelope - just send it all - with the address on THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE...

interesting questions!! If you don't have a passport, you cannot travel anywhere - so implied or not, she will have to wait:) We asked a lawyer - who advised Seattle. It is quick.. so she will get a decision/ or something(!) in about 4 weeks. Better than doing nothing and waiting and waiting...

We used joint bank account as proof of funds for both of us. Not sure if that's what you are asking. Same account, same proof of funds, but used for 2 adults, 2 children. Depends who the dependents are - our 2 children were not required to show bank statements of their own! The overall total...

Can a WP holder, NOT under LCP - study and obtain a certificate for training in the relevant field (childcare) here in Canada - in order to qualify for the LCP? I'd like to know if anyone has done this. Any ideas? What certificates could be accepted as training from here in BC? Who can verify...

Now she is thinking Hong Kong is less risky - do you know what their present time-line is for LCP applications? submit interview medical receipt of visa? THANKS AGAIN -

you can go to the embassy here to process. you can get the NBO renewed here too (see #8). nbi.gov.ph/faq.htm

job_seeker - yes, I just checked, you are referring to NBI - which is in the mail on it's way to Canada now (her mom processed her renewal in HK 2wks ago) SO - if you are in contact with the other person who had a successful application - then that person has all the answers for us! -did your...

Where are you getting the time-line from for processing? How do you know Buffalo is quicker than Seattle? How long is Seattle - and how do you know???? This is possibly the main problem we have in terms of our decision of where to process! Seattle is a 3 hour drive, Buffalo is a flight.

I have spoken to CIC and am in a similar situation (well, the nanny we are hoping to hire) - she is in Canada on tourist visa.. long story, BUT CIC said she can process in any consulate as long as it is outside of Canada. I am waiting to hear of stories where people have had a successful...

HI job_seeker, thankyou so much for your insights - I just want to get this right - you only know of successful applicants who MAILED to Seattle, then attended an interview? Not anyone who has tried the walk-in service? - when did they go to the border to pick up WP? After mailing in, they...

YES you can! Infact, you can apply at ANY Canadian consulate outside of Canada. Check each consulate's website - I am looking at Seattle, and they are open for walk-ins! It even states that there is the possibility of processing same day:) AND - more importantly, if you are visa-exempt (there...

I have read many posts and don't see anything similar to our UNIQUE situation. We have obtained a positive LMO for a wonderful Filipino girl, presently working in Hong Kong. She also has all the required docs to apply under the LIC program. HOWEVER - her employers brought her to Canada for...
