    Unable to validate Family Information Form (IMM 5707) for SOWP because of no surname.

    My spouse only has a given name and no last name in their passport. We have been trying to fill the Family Information Form (IMM 5707), which fields for both given name and family name. Leaving any field blank leads to form not getting validated. I am attaching the screenshot of the error here...

    Applying for SOWP as an international student living in university accommodation

    1. Because of the prevailing housing crisis, I have chosen to get a room at the university where I will be studying. Is this something that will adversely affect the SOWP application if everything else is in order? Once my spouse's SOWP comes through, I plan on getting a place on rent or moving...

    How likely are electronic devices to be checked at Canadian customs?

    The CBSA site seems to suggests that such a check is highly unlikely (a chance of 0.01%), and the search seems to be regarding illegal pornography or dangerous stuff: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/edd-ean-eng.html

    How likely are electronic devices to be checked at Canadian customs?

    I will be travelling to Toronto in the Fall via an international flight which also has a layover in Germany. The thing is, my storage devices have a whole bunch of pirated movies, shows and songs. How likely is it that my electronic items might get checked by officials at the airport? What...

    Got study permit after stating in SOP that my employer had approved study leave. Now I am thinking of resigning. Could that be an issue later on?

    My first application for a study permit got rejected as the visa officer thought I wouldn't return to my country after completion of studies. In my re-application, I stated that study leave had been approved by my organisation who I would be rejoining after my course was complete. I also...

    WES now evaluates Master of Arts Degrees from India equivalent to Canadian Masters?

    I just came across this article: https://wenr.wes.org/2022/05/wes-evaluation-of-select-masters-degrees-earned-in-india which states that WES now evaluates select master’s degrees awarded by accredited Indian universities as equivalent to master’s degrees conferred in the U.S. or Canada. Does...

    Received ITA with 34 month work-ex being counted as 36 months

    I currently have 34 months of work-ex, but I have received an ITA based on points for 36 months. This is because the system probably only accounts for the month and not the exact date. Am I still eligible for ITA or will I have to decline? My work ex is: 24.07.2017 - 08.02.2019 08.04.2019 -...

    Go thehttps://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html and check your options. Go through the sticky threads on this forum. It will take people a lot of effort to explain things from scratch.

    2020 - ECA queries and tracking from top Indian B-Schools

    Got my pgdm certified as one years master degree. Had my institute email a scan of my attested marksheet, AIU letter giving MBA equivalency and AICTE certificate of approval to ICES. My institute frequently gets such requests so the admin office was familiar with the process. I had to pay for a...

    Options for someone with CRS: 456?

    Thanks for sharing that. It seems that Manitoba too has 1121 as an in-demand occupation. I couldn't find any of these on an official website, but there are a bunch of private links on google that seem to share the list. I haven't really looked into what getting a PNP without a job offer...

    Options for someone with CRS: 456?

    Haha, oh wow. Well, best of luck to you as well. I'm okay where I'm currently at, but it's still a bit of a bummer to miss the ITA cutoff since I've made up my mind to head to Canada. Learning french is a definite no at this point. I tried to look at the professions that are in demand in some of...

    Options for someone with CRS: 456?

    I am 27 years old, CLB 10, Master's degree and have 2 years of work experience. What can do to increase my CRS? Option 1 is to wait until October to increase my work experience to 3 years to get CRS 481. I'm worried that it's a long period and the cut off might keep going higher like it has for...

    Who do I go to for getting a Gift Deed (India)?

    I see. Then why are both an affidavit as well as a gift deed required when they are basically the same thing?

    Who do I go to for getting a Gift Deed (India)?

    I'll be taking some money from my family to meet the POF requirement. How do I get a gift deed made? I came across an earlier post with the format, do I just get that format on a stamp paper and get it notarised by the same notary you go to for getting affidavits made? Or is there a different...

    Getting an experience letter from a junior employee

    I have obtained an experience letter with the requisite details from the HR department. The issue is that it has been signed by someone who is junior to me in the hierarchy with his designation being Jr. Asst. Will that be an issue? I also have a reference letter from a senior manager, but I...
