If your letter has starting date as 2006 and ending date in 2015, with 3 yrs unpaid leave mentioned. Both ways will work but they might need more explanation. If you do it all in one, the system will calculate 3 yrs extra and then the immigrant analyst will need to deduct those years manually...

I am planning on my first time landing in April 2018. I am single Male and looking to see if anyone is renting out their basement/apartment/private-room for a short-medium term? Anyone else landing/landed and have an apt/ room to rent out in GTA area? Prefer pet-friendly, but okay if it's...

It is purely up to you, as long as you carry minimum amount or proof via bank statements, etc. You can also carry all the cash you have, just declare it and nothing else matters, there is no harm in declaring cash. It is only a problem when you have concerns of losing cash, not wanting to carry...

To keep all options open, it is better if you finish the landing procedure before traveling to other countries. You don't want to build additional "travel history" while your PR process is one step from complete. In most cases it may have no impact, but why even have this chance of creating...

Assuming you mean the Immigration Visa for new PR with a COPR document. You can leave within hours too but it is really really important if you can apply for SIN (social insurance num) the same day or next day, so plan to land on a working day and research about it before landing. Also you'll...

If your score is above cut-off, just wait for 1-2 days, CIC system was having technical issues and make sure you check your SPAM folders and MyCIC/EE profile you will find update and a ITA letter.

I took 5-6 month unpaid from a full-time US position. This was clearly mentioned in the experience letter as "xyz was on unpaid leave from dd/mm//yy to dd/mm/yy". Leave of Absence or FMLA which lasts weeks and months or even years in govt jobs is different from normal employment leave for...

Signature is more important than a seal. My letters had no seal, just a signature at the bottom with contact information. Not all offices use seals anymore. If they don't sign per policy, it is easily explainable if CIC needs clarification. Just add a Letter of Explanation along with the...

There are many threads on this forum discussing this as "soft landing" or "short landing". JOBS: Toronto and Vancouver as everyone might say. These are the two cities for tech jobs. If your job can be done remotely/consulting then it doesn't matter much where you live as long as you are open...

Ofcourse yes, even I am trying to find some friend to get an address to use for PR card.

You can leave within hours too but it is really really important if you can apply for SIN (social insurance num) the same day or next day, so plan to land on a working day and research about it before landing. Also you'll need a Canadian address where they will mail your PR card, you need to...

Please be patient, look at me, PP delivered Aug 4th, approved only today. Your time is coming hopefully this week or next. I was expecting mine to be this week or next. Seems like they were on vacation or something, you should see something by this first week of Sep or earlier.

Mine turned to "Approved" few mins ago! Didn't get the email yet, I only checked MyCIC just now, email must be on the way. FSW-Outland US PP received by Ottawa- Aug 4th from US, no update until this update of Approval.

Congrats! Get ready to receive your passport and join the threads discussing next steps - Landing prep
