Thanks for the update and congratulations!

Hi Satnakazaljke, Any updates? How's your application process going?

Good luck with your application satnakazaljke. I'd be grateful if you could keep us posted in this thread, I'm sure there are people like me who are interested to see how the scenario of applying outside of Canada works out.

Hello, I'm Greek who live in Canada for a total of 9 years studying and working in a Canadian university. I left Canada on the 5th of June 2017 and I reside in Greece since then. I've been a PR since 2014 and I satisfy all the requirements to apply for a citizenship. My question is: can I...

Thank you for the quick reply. Ok, I understand that nothing is guaranteed until the amendments are finalized. Just to have an idea though, with the law as it is today, if the requirements are met, is it possible to apply for citizenship outside Canada?

Hello, I would like to kindly ask for your feedback regarding a question I have. First of all, a little information about me: I am Greek and I came to Canada in 2008 as a Master's student. I have been in Canada with a study permit until November 2014 when I became a permanent resident. I will...

Re: Temporarily leaving the country after I apply for citizenship I should have searched a bit more. The answer to my question is mentioned here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=911&t=5 In short, I will have to make sure that I meet my residency obligation to stay a...

Hi all, I am considering scenarios about my future and I have a question. I have been living in Canada for 7 years as a grad student, and I became a Permanent Resident in November 2014. According to a calculator in a CIC website, I will be able to apply for citizenship in November 2016, and I...

Dear all, I'm almost finished with my paperwork and stuff, but it came up that I will have to travel back to Europe (in particular Austria, if that matters) and stay there for quite a while. Does it make any difference if I send my application from outside Canada? Apart from choosing a...

Re: RA work per week and different RA amounts per year First off, thank you sorry for the late reply; thought I would get an email notification for replies, never did. So, again, I can put an estimate, right? There's no agreement or log for my RA hours anywhere, not even verbally with my...

Re: RA work per week and different RA amounts per year Hi all, I would really appreciate any advice on my issue below. I'm a little concerned about something. I have been doing grad school for 5 years (2 years MSc + currently 3 years PhD ) under the supervision of the same professor, and...

Great! That's what I thought too but a couple of people confused me. Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help everybody. This has been a really helpful mega-thread, now and in the past.

Thanks! Are you 100% sure? I have been getting some contradictory opinions from students in my school..

Many thanks for your feedback and examples of TA/RA letters; that helps. EDIT: Another question, a quick one: I have completed my undergraduate degree in Greece, however I completed a full-time 2-year-long Master's degree from a Canadian university in 2010. Do I need a Educational Credential...

Hello all, Back in April I started my application for PR through the PhD stream; I sent it a few days before May 4th 2013, which was the day they made some changes to the requirements, including a slightly changed form (IMM 0008 Schedule 3). Apparently they assess the applications according to...

Hi all, I am doing my phd in Ottawa, Ontario with a study permit which also allows me to work in campus. I would like to apply for an off-campus permit to work on some odd job or something for the rest of the summer. I applied for and got my EVN-OCWP number and now I'm applying online, filling...

Ok, thanks for the overview, I really appreciate your help.

Wait, I think I'm still confused. Assume that my father passes me the properties and that from now on I pay my taxes in Greece. Also assume that the taxes on the rental income are higher in Greece than Canada. If the income is large enough, the refund in Canada will be lowered. So far so...

Ok, so all in all there is no double taxation. That's what I wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the confirmation. Many thanks for the information. Yes, I need the Canadian side of things, I'll find an accountant in Greece for details on the Greek taxation. Now, in your answer you're talking about the inheritence scenario. This is however what my father kindly wants to avoid...
