No requirement for length of ownership as long as it other requirements from the RIV is met

Honeymarie, kumusta. As Thaiguy mentioned, Skilled worker immigration is based on a point system which will determine whether you will likely be approved for PR or not. You don't need a sponsor, though there will be some merits to having a job offer in Canada. I'm also a filipino who has...

If you mean PPR, I was only given 6 months from the date I got our Visas.

Get your police clearance as soon as you can and I think is required upon submission of your application. Get the FBI clearance sometime in the middle of your processing time as you don't want to get it too early as it has an expiry date of 1 year or too late as it takes time for the FBI to...

Rex, Kumusta uli. I submitted letters of work experience outlining my job position, responsibilities and income signed by my supposed supervisor (they never checked ) on the letterhead of the companies I worked for together with the business cards of the signing supervisor. I also had these...

Rex, Kumusta. Due to the exchange rate risk in terms of the PESO versus the dollar, I converted my peso time deposit with BPI into US Dollar and placed it in a dollar time deposit for purposes of certifcation. They accepted this without any problems. I filed my application on March 2007 from...

border9999, You have to take the IELTS no matter what. I've been in the US since 2000 (as against you who has been here only since 2005) and has worked with fortune 500 companies in the Washington DC area on mid management level and I was not spared from the IELTS requirements. Just take it...

The CIC might also request for police clearance on the States that you lived in. In my case I provided them a police clearance from the Virginia State Police. If you are not a US Citizen (as you mentioned that its your wife who is), the CIC will also ask you to provide a Police Clearance on...

I was not born in the US though I've had extensive International experience in Finance. I think your wife should be okay. Canada values professional experience in the US. Based on the CIC website, the IELTS is a must. I think several years ago you can write them a letter and prove...

PMM, Thaiguy--thanks so much for clarifying the issue. Specially with this volatile exchange rate scenario, you are absolutely right in pointing out the exchange risk. Traveller74, no, I did not use a lawyer though I had a lot of help from this forum from good knowledgeable people like PMM...

1. Do I need to bring my previous work reference letters that I submitted during the application process at landing or will this come in handy when I start applying for work? 2. If I have an account with a US Bank that have branches in Canada (HSBC, Citibank), will I still need to open another...

Thanks Thaiguy

Hello, I need help from people who have landed. Do you need to take pictures of jewelry and electronic items included in your B4 list? Also, do you need a formal appraisal on these items or will an estimated value be sufficient? Thanks in advance. George

Just to share my personal experience. My medicals were submitted on September 23, 2007 (as per my fedex tracking) and our online status was changed to medicals received in November 24, 2007. November 27, I received my PPR request. I flew to Buffalo personally to get our Passports stamped on...

As what PMM said the B4 list is for all the goods you are bringing in with you while form B4A is for goods to follow.

Thanks PMM. Will bringing a car make the process of landing longer in the port of entry?

BTW I will be bringing the original title of the vehicle under my name and I will be including this in my B4 list.

I currently have a car financed with a local bank here in the US and I'm intending to pay off the loan and get the title to the vehicle. I'm intending to land on the first week of April. My questions are: 1. Can I bring this car with me when I move to Canada? 2. Is there going to be any...

After getting approved in a span of 7 months from date of application, I just came back from CIC Buffalo (in the midst of a blizzard) to get my visa and COPR (and that of my wife and kids as well). My question is, when we land, will they check my current status in the US or that of my family's...
