Hi, I can give you first hand advice what to do. My wife and I were in the same situation, all she had to do was fill out a normal tax return, send along a little note explaining your immigration status, and your lack of a SIN. The number crunchers at Revenue Canada will automatically give you...

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, this is the forum I tend to post in most and find the most help in. My wife and I are in the middle of the PR application process. She came to Canada October 29th, 2009, we got married March 13th, 2010, and submitted our inland PR application October 8th...

It's different for everyone I guess. Before my now wife moved here to Canada to be with me, we talked every day, literally hours every day. We originally met playing an online game together, and we spent quite a bit of time playing that but it eventually got kind of weird with people in the...

Hey, try the Community health centres, (CHC) their services are free and they do not ask you for a health card. Ottawa Carlington Community and Health Services 900 Merivale Road Ottawa, ON K1Z 5Z8 Tel : 613-722-4000 Fax : 613-761-1805 Website : carlington.ochc.org Centretown Community...

The only reason to go to nunavut would be if you had a job there, and if you have a job there you'd better hope you are making some serious coin, because the prices there for everything are about 5-10 times what it would cost normally. There is no local farming or agriculture, so you'd be paying...

Yeah.. This could cause you problems. In order to overcome your criminal inadmissability, you may need to apply for rehabilitation. This is what you need to fill out: cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/rehabil.asp If the application is successful, and it likely will be, because 5...

To me, being a Canadian sponsor, I read the immigration manuals, and I read these posts and there is just so much that makes me angry. So much red tape, redundant rules, barriers to immigration seemingly just for the sake of it. This is not meant to be a complaining post, just things that I...

Not sure what a BIR is, but if the requirement is you are a full-time student in order to qualify as a dependent, and you are enrolled in classes, as well as working, I really don't think that is a problem. Many of us here in Canada are enrolled in 'full-time' studies, as well as working full...

I don't think the US border guards would care if you overstayed your visit in Canada. Also if your visitor extension is only for two weeks, it shouldn't really matter if you never receive it or not, as you are leaving, and probably the next time you came to visit Canada it would have expired...

First off, Canada is not very homogenous. There are 10 different provinces in Canada, (and three territories) and each has different provincial laws, different health care systems, different education systems, different economy job prospects, and minimum wage. It's almost like someone asking...

AFAIK, they can not deny you for this, but they do urge very strongly that you try everything within your means to obtain the medicals, in the end I believe (not 100% sure on this) they will send you a letter outlining the fact that you are not supplying the medicals, and make you sign a paper...

Sorry, just re-read your post and saw that you were convicted of public intoxication and improper driving, but again I would be completely honest, you don't have to tell them you were charged but not convicted of the DUI, but I would definitely fess up to the misdemeanor charges, this doesn't...

Well, the first question you can answer truthfully No, since you have never been convicted of a crime. The second offense, you could answer truthfully or you could wait for your FBI check to come back, but really you might want to think about being completely honest there, I don't think being...

Welfare is useless. It's $540 bucks a month, which isn't enough to live on, period. If you have no fixed address and are not paying rent it goes down to around $200 a month. Don't bother with welfare, it's a waste of time. Even the worst paying job will pay more than welfare.

Yes and no. It may fall under the umbrella of 'social assistance' but not according to CIC.

Yeah, the only thing that CIC defines as 'government support' is welfare, whatever they call it where you live. Note that this does not include disability support, even though disabliity is usually processed through the same office as welfare. Child tax credit, EI, Subsidized housing, child...

Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are. The first one says: "Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow." The second one says: "Ha! You think that's fast! My father is a hunter. He can...

I want to say that in the interest of being up front and honest, you should mention it right off the bat, but... Chances are that if you are in a pool against several candidates around the same qualifications and experience, the HR person is going to pick the one who can start work right away...

Not sure what you mean by ITN, but I know that even with implied status, you can file a return (even if nil income) and revenue canada will process it and supply you with a temporary SIN. I think you may need to fill out the determination of residency form and submit it to the international tax...

No it will not harm your application at all. You do not need to inform anyone you are receiving it, you do not need to declare it as earned income. It's the same as receiving your tax refund.
