Hi team, Currently on 156 points so need more. My UK/US company want to keep me on when I move to Canada. How can I turn this into extra points? Should I open a branch of my company in Canada (sounds like a ton of work and cost for my company, and they may not love me that much...) Can I...

The ICAS website currently states that it's 25 weeks from the date they receive all documents. 25 weeks. That essentially DOUBLES the time it takes to get Permanent Residency as application processing time is 6 months. My questions is, is there any way around this? Perhaps another institution...

wow that's awesome news! we'll see how we go and apply both ways. Thanks for everyone's help! I'm sure we'll be back on here before long...

After speaking with my partner about this again, we are worried that if I go for EE and I'm refused then that jeopardizes applying for sponsorship. Can we apply for sponsorship now, and then apply for EE in 4 months when I've worked at my job for a year?

Thanks for replying! I've seen the 6/12 months but which has a higher chance of success? The EE is a pool so risky whereas the common law sponsorship is case by case. But is our case strong enough to be more successful than EE? *I have 4 months left to work in the UK before im eligible so I...

My (27F Canadian) partner of 2 years (living together continuously 1 full year) is preparing to sponsor me (27M English) to live in BC. Looking at sponsorship times of 12 months vs Express Entry of 10 months (including the 4 remaining months I need to work at my job to be eligible). Which has a...
