I'm still actively hunting for jobs in Canada. Without job it's very difficult to sustain oneself in this economy. I also had to spend considerable money on medical procedures so I don't have much savings really. My current job in USA dosen't pay all that much to be able to save considerable money and I'm also on a visa so it's hard to find better jobs too. My plan is to move to Canada with a job offer in hand. Will it help my case at the land border to have a job offer in hand vs no job?
Honestly I do not know. I would say that showing up substantially later to Canada because you have been looking for a job is a poor trade-off from an immigration perspective. Or put more simply: if you're justifying delaying return to Canada on basis that having a job will help you at the border - probably wrong. Being more out of compliance is a bigger factor, having a job a minor one. Probably - one can only guess.
How many days have you spent in Canada since you landed in 2018? Covid and dental surgery will only account for a portion of the 5 years. You may have been able to use Covid as a reason not to move until after 2021 but after that it gets much more difficult.
You can enter Canada at a land PoE without a valid PR card, but if CBSA discovers that you are not in compliance (Residency Obligation) the officer could write a 44(1) report, which could lead to your PR status being in serious jeopardy. You would still be allowed to enter Canada to appeal.
Hello, May I know what kind of dental surgery you want? I had dental surgery to remove my teeth. It was during COVID-19. I did it from a dental centre as per my friend's recommendation. The cost of surgery was affordable at the dental centre at that time. You can find the best and most affordable dental centre in Canada.
Whether you get a US visa will have a major impact on your choices. Even if you get a US visa and can enter the US there are no guarantees you won’t get reported at the Canadian border. If you aren’t reported you will struggle to get a health card in most provinces until you have a valid PR card. That may take 2-3 years so would suggest taking out private insurance. Hopefully you have a SIN# but it may have been put on hold. If you don’t get reported you will have to try to avoid a contact with IRCC for 2 years and then apply for a PR card. If your US visa gets denied again your only choice is to apply for PRTad based on H&C and provide your evidence for why you haven’t met your RO.
Yes I got it, it took me approximately 135 days. Basically the processing times for PR Card gets updated weekly on the IRCC website, you could send them a webform if the processing time for you has exceeded the timeline displayed on the IRCC website.
Unless you have far exceeded posted estimated average processing time (like 6+ months) nothing will happen if you contact IRCC. You will just be told to be patient.
