    photo requirements

    Thank you Mitamata for the quick reply. Yes, I made sure that I followed the specification. And yes, the background is white with the face meeting the size requirement. I didn't see anywhere on the Immigration Guide requiring notarized pictures but read something about it here, so I was...

    photo requirements

    Sorry, but this might be a little bit off topic. Does the photo has to be "official" immigration photo? I am a photographer and I did my own printing. Would this be okay? And of course, I followed the specification listed on the official guide. Thank you.

    planning civil marriage without parents. red flag?

    Thank you everyone for you help. AMB, that really cleared up my question about the parents. I really appreciate your help. What about the other question? Is "civil marriage" considered "formal ceremony"? Should I answer yes or no?

    Applying for spousal sponsorship immediately after marriage = suspicious?

    Hi, my girlfriend (Canadian citizen) and I (US citizen) are deciding to apply via spousal sponsorship immediately after we get married in the states. Do you think it's okay to do this or does it look suspicious to the immigration officer? For those who might wonder, our relationship very...

    IELTS test if I graduated from US University? Also grow up in US.

    Thank you everyone for your replies. I did some more searches and it seemed that if you grow up and work in an English speaking country (e.g. USA, UK, etc...), then you will "more likely" not have to deal with the pesky IELTS test. BobbyB, I know that if one does not supply the IELTS test...

    IELTS test if I graduated from US University? Also grow up in US.

    Hi, I know this question has been asked a million time and I've done searches on here. I just want to make sure since I basically grew up in the US. I am Vietnamese, but immigrated to the US at 10 years old. I started school in the US since fifth grade. Of course, I've been in school and...

    NOC 0213 question

    Not necessarily true. One does not have to have a degree in similar field to work in that field. I have a degree in pharmacology (think pharmacy/medicine) but I have been a system/network administrator for more than 12 years. And I have been performing just fine. Experience is what count.

    IT worker confused about 0213 - Computer and Information Systems Managers

    Thanks jnathan for your input. Now only if past applicants who are not real "manager" but applied under 0213 would chime in with regards to results from the immigration office, then we would know whether it works or not.

    IT worker confused about 0213 - Computer and Information Systems Managers

    Thank you. I think I can produce this letter of reference from one of my past employers / supervisors. To add to the confusion, does my previous employer has to be in the IT field? The letter of reference that I can produce is from an employer in the manufacturing field. This is from the noc...

    IT worker confused about 0213 - Computer and Information Systems Managers

    I took a look at this post with regards to "manager"...and it does not look promising for me, a system or network admin. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/noc-0213-question-t12637.0.html

    IT worker confused about 0213 - Computer and Information Systems Managers

    I think the closest designation under "0213", for me, would be either one of these: computer networks manager computer system operations manager computer systems manager systems manager – computer systems What do you think would fit for a "system administrator" or "network administrator"...

    IT worker confused about 0213 - Computer and Information Systems Managers

    Are you also managing people in your field? See, your title is already "manager" while mine is not. I have already looked over the "0213" description many time and a "system or network administrator" does not look promising....:(

    IT worker confused about 0213 - Computer and Information Systems Managers

    jawadahmad77, Thank you. Yes, I know about the list from www.cic.gc.ca. Are you supervising other personnel? If so, your case is easy. As for me, like I mentioned in previous post, I am not supervising anyone. And from the look of the description under "0213", they seem to want a real...
