Hello, I have recently got an ITA and I am currently in the process of preparing my documents and submit them during the 90 days given to me. What I am thinking of is the following: My brother is also in the pool but haven't got his ITA yet. How is it possible to give him the 15 additional...

Hello, I am a PhD students at McGill university, since September 2015. I am have a student visa with a student permit. I live in Montreal. Can I apply to the Express Entry program? If yes, can I change my visa status from student to PR residents while still enrolled as a PhD student at...

Concerning the last sentence I quoted, in my case, I am required to prove that I have a minimum of 12,300 Canadian Dollars. Do I have to have them in cash? Can I have 2,000 Canadian Dollars in cash (because I will be landing for one week only) and provide them with a bank statement that shows...

FD means Fixed Deposit. Can you elaborate more on this? What does it actually mean and what should be done? Much appreciated!

Thank you for your reply. I can't seem to find the post where he got his clarification. Is it in another thread?

I might be facing the same issue soon. I read somewhere that they only need to see one bank account statement. Which could be that from your father as a gift deed. If it covers the amount then you're good. There is no need to show any other bank account details. (I guess, please correct me if I...

It is DEFINITELY November 8.

You said "at the time you apply for PR." This is during the 90 days after I get my invitation. Am I correct? (I am just very new to the process.)

No. I am under Federal Skilled Workers.

By the way, do I have to provide a proof of funds during the 90 days following my ITA? Or is it during the first landing? Or is it once I apply to the PR?

Hello, Once I get my ITA (Invitation To Apply) is it possible to show my father's bank account instead of mine, and attach a letter of consent saying that my father will sponsor me? Is it necessary that the bank account be in my own name? Because I read somewhere that they request a bank...

Yes. We've been living together for two years now. It was a sudden decision more than a quick one because I discovered he's been cheating on me since day 1 and hiding it all. I read his phone messages and then I started contacting our friends and they all knew except me but they didn't want to...

Issue resolved. I just broke up with my partner. Too sad.

Hello. I am applying to Canada through the Express Entry program. I am just waiting for my invitation to land in order to come and live there. However, I have a gay partner which I haven't included on the application because we live in a country where same-sex marriage is not legal yet. What...

You said: "because logically there is no way that you could stay 2 years without your PR card expiring" I didn't quite get that. Please advise.

LOL! 1 day won't make a difference but thanks for the info. Question #8: I see your point. But I won't leave Canada for 3.5 years. I would leave it for exactly 3. Would I still face scrutiny? (Regardless of the fact that I would be stuck in Canada for the next 2 years.) However, here's...

Great! So, I do my first landing on the 1st of Sep 2017, then I go back to my home country and spend 3 years. Then, I come back to Canada on Sep 2020 and live 2 full years with no traveling abroad. Then, I decide to stay one more year in Canada without traveling, making them a total of 3 years...

Okay. So for the citizenship it doesn't have to be 3 years out of 5. They just have to be 3 years. Right?

But what if I followed the scenario you suggested. I land the first time, and then I exit Canada for 3 years, and then come back to spend the last 2 years out of 5 so that my PR does not expire. If I do this, what happens to my citizenship? What conditions follow so that I can file for...

Thank you so much that was SUPER helpful. I now have a new question. You said: Your PR card will expire in 5 years from the date you land. At that time, you'll have to show that you spent at least 2 years of the five in Canada. If you don't, they can cancel your PR. Now my question is about...
