I just wanted to share my experience. May be it will be useful for somebody else with the same problem. I just did my urine test and I was asked to repeat it due to high level of protein. Doctor said in 99% of the cases it means nothing and no worries. 1% though is that it might be the sign...

This is what I got from immigration lawyer: You can apply to change LIC employers and this would probably be granted. You can always apply to make other changes such as live out caregiver that they may grant, or another job but they may not grant the work permit. This is the answer from...

I do not think it should stop you from immigrating though. Your institute might have transformed and has a different name now. Do you have any friends back in Russia? Try to contact your co-students or something. I have never heard about Uni being vanished. Most of the time the...

Thanx for info. It is been almost 10 months now in my case, NOC- bookkeeper. My immigration officer said it goes smooth and I should not worry, just be patient. But nobody can give exact info: what stage it is on, even approximately. It is frustrating waiting in limbo..

R u from Russia? I am ukrainian. I have graduated from the University, but it is been renamed, our faculty has been separated and transformed into an independent Academy. I have just listed all the names it went through and years I studied there. My application is now under review of the...

Anyone has an experience communicating with Canadian Security and Intelligence office on the matter of background check: timeframes, stages etc?

From my own experience: DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU! Make sure you have all your papers , you work legally and so on. You do not need troubles with your paperwork. Even if your current employer says that on the paper it will look like you worked for one employer. They are canadians, and they will...

When you discuss it with your employer keep in mind that it takes now about 7-8 months to get an open work permit (Vegreville, Alberta). Check processing time where you will apply. Good luck!

Anyone knows if live-in caregiver allowed to spend weekends outside the employer's house? Is being away on weekedns a big issue?

Theoretically i think we can try to find another job, but it would probably be hard to get LMO and another work permit (while waiting for an OWP). LMO might take same 6-8 months to issue. Vacation or unemployment could be an option. But you have to be very careful. I contacted immigration...
