I think your cousin is quite clearly lying or not telling the whole story. When he applies, the Canadian visa officer will have access to all the documentation relative to his refusal to entry from the USA and the ban from the USA. That means he will likely get rejected unless he has a very...

If you didn't mention about your wife being Canadian and living with you in USA before, then you should have good chances. Your first post was confusing. Employment in USA and good bank balance are a plus.

Why don't you just apply for spousal sponsorship? Why risk being refused a TRV? Imo your chances are not great. Especially because since your wife was in the USA with you for the last 5 months.. and now you wanna stay in Canada for the next 5... the only thing I see here is the visa officer...

Good job. Honestly though, it was quite apparent that you were getting rejected because your tried to immigrate there. No amount of ties to your country would have overcome that until you addressed the immigration try. Better late than never though, I guess.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense now. Will try looking more into immigration and if it makes sense for my situation. Really appreciate your help with your extensive answers.

Thanks for the extensive reply, it really helps. I will try and if I get denied, so be it.. won't try again then for a couple of years until I build up by ties. By brother actually got a student permit from India and it was even kinda easy for him. He was out of school for a few years and...

Thanks for your reply. Do you know where I can find out more about the US giving visas easier than Canada? This info is surprising because of how unwelcoming for immigrants and visitors the US seems with their recent politics. My job is as a machine operator. It translates to skill level B...

What you mean by 'the invitation letter can be your tie to Canada' ? That it will be seen as negative? Then why do Universities even help students with issuing these letters for family members outside Canada? It would be impossible for me to apply from my home country. Last I lived there was 10...

Having a family member in Canada is considered a negative for my application? Didn't knew that.. that sucks. I do have a permanent job contract and a flat rental in my name. I know a couple of guys who got approved for a visa in Canada and the other in the US with a temporary work permit from...

I live in Italy, would that make a difference? Middle East countries are usually more scrutinized. Have a 2-year work permit here and will get permanent residency in 2021.

Indefinite leave to remain is UK's permanent status. There is nothing more permanent than that except Citizenship. But I will take this post as an opportunity to ask, does it make a difference between having temporary residence vs permanent residency in a country different than your citizen...

Hi everyone. I live in Italy and I am an Indian citizen. I currently have a two years residence permit in Italy while working full time for the last twelve months. I want to apply for a visitor visa so I can visit my brother who is in Canada on a study permit. He sent me a letter of...

Hello everyone. I have a job offer from an employer who got an approved LMIA, the position is skill level A. I've been searching CIC website for some answers to questions I had, but couldn't find anything, so hopefully someone knows something here :) - Background: I have a spouse and two...

It's a few PNPs and one of the minimum requirements it's simply having an equivalent to a Canadian high school diploma. Nothing to do with points for EE or anything like that.

Hey guys, since I currently don't have an high school diploma, I am studying to get a GED online and take the test next month in London (UK). If I pass the test and get my GED, will this count as having completed high school for immigration purposes? This is what it says on the Canada...

Which kind of Work Permit do you have? Skilled? Low skilled? How long were your wife and child temporary visas? Did your child go to school? On which visa?

I know that if you get a work permit with a skilled position, the spouse can apply for an open work permit. But what about any dependend childrens that are over the age of 18 but under the age of 21? And again, I know that if the job offer is a low skilled position, the spouse cannot apply for...

Thanks. To be more specific, since my daughter is currently 18 she wouldn't need a study permit because she is a minor in BC. But next year she'd turn 19 and would need one. Could she apply from inside Canada or would it be better off applying from outside Canada? And what happens if her...

I'm in Canada and got offered a long haul truck driving job from an employer in BC. Since the skill level is C, my spouse does not qualify for an open work permit. So my question is, since she's here on a 6 months ETA, can she apply for a visitor visa that is as long as my work permit duration...

Thanks. So when I eventually apply for Express Entry, I still don't need a degree if my employer has to request an LMIA, right? Other than needing it to get additional points under Express Entry CEC.
