Hello I know this is late but just thought I would reply as someone named Scylla assumed that I was a bad consultant - the program was the Nova Scotia Regional Labour Demand program which had just opened up in March 2014 for the first time for a limited period of time. The page on our website...

Yes I think a lot of Canadians including students have had their hours slowly reduced until their employers have been telling them that they will contact them for work if required. The other issue is many international students from India and elsewhere cannot find part-time jobs in Subways...

The RLMD lacks focus. They only want to admit 150 people but apart from the 25 occupations the rest of the criteria are wide open: 1. Age 21 to 55 2. IELTS 5,4,5,5 I think a very targeted program with stricter guidelines or a points criteria similar to FSW was needed as they had spent quite a...

Lorerodri Its not stated on the website regarding 150 cap. You need to call NSNP and they will tell you over the phone. They are receiving 50-75 applications per day and if it continues like this they will close the program very soon.

If you call them and politely ask if their is a cap on the number of applications under the RLMD stream then you can find out more yourself. The telephone number is clearly on their website

Hi I have just spoken to NSNP And I can confirm that there is a cap of 150 applicants that they will approve through the RLDM stream. This doesn't mean they won't accept more applications than this it just means that they will only nominate 150. They received 50 applications on Friday 7...

Hi I have dealt with NSNP in the past having filed some Community Identified Applications with them. I filed two last July and the nomination certificates arrived at the end of January 2014 and the beginning of February 2014. They did write to us on both cases asking for extra evidence...

I applied on behalf of a Russian client who was studying in London in early December 2013 and the study permit was granted in 2 days.

I was an immigration attorney in the UK and can tell you that the UK was good 5-6 years ago but not any more. The country is in a deep recession and immigrants and foreign students are not welcome there. The education is expensive - $20,000 for tuition fees per year is the average. Also you...

Rob TO is correct regarding the medicals :D

Samantala Couldn't your husband obtain a replacement divorce certificate from the lawyer who assisted him with the case or from the court/registry which issued the divorce certificate? Paragraph 13.2 of OP Manual 2 reads: R117(9)(c)(i) states that a spouse is not a member of the family class...

Hi Yes I am an ICCRC consultant R507916 There is a thread on the forum somewhere about the legacy and what the processing times are.

Credibility and consistency will be enhanced by giving lots of detail about the incidents of persecution suffered and not giving conflicting or contradictory evidence. The account must be believable and in line with the humanitarian/security situation in the country of origin. When you add in...

I should add that when answering questions a claimant should always listen carefully and keep answers simple and on the topic. A lawyer or consultant should also never ask his client a question if he does not know what response will come out of his client's mouth!

Obviously every case turns on its own merits and the current human rights and security situation in the claimant's country of origin. In short, the claimant's account must be consistent with the situation in his/her country of origin. You must go through the latest Country Packages and read...
