A great resource is alis.alberta.ca. Its put up by the Government of Alberta, but its relevant for any Canadian. They have a variety of resume samples and you can also open the pdf's for 'Advanced Worksearch' and 'First Time Job Seekers' under publications. Alberta Work Search Online is also...

I tried Greyhound.ca to find a connection from a Montana city to Calgary and I got an error each time. I traveled from Minnesota to Winnipeg to Calgary back in 2001 (what a long trip, I've had bus trips in China more enjoyable). Not sure if there is a lot of commuter traffic between Montana and...

You should probably call the Immigrate to Alberta Info service to verify, but from what I understand is that the expectation is that you will have the money available to immigrate, so it should be available until you move to Canada. That means that it should probably stay there for the entire...

If they didn't ask for any further documents, then you do not need to submit any documents. The other documents that may have been asked were probably asked because there were gaps in the file requiring clarification. If they need further information, they will ask.

In order to be considered for an offer of employment under the H1B category, the job offer must be the same NOC as you applied under. They will not consider your employment offer if it is a different NOC code. That's at least what I understand about the H1B category.

Timelines appear quite long for AINP family stream but I do know some people have gotten certificates and have immigrated to Alberta. It's just that other streams have priority over this one right now. Pre assessments are almost taking a year right now. Certificates are being issued on an...

Re: what does the job offer information is needed in a sponsorship application?? I supplied a letter of recommendation from my last employer saying that they would hire me back if there was a vacancy and a letter from my uncle saying that his company would hire me if I needed a job. This...

Another important thing to remember if you get pregnant in Canada as a TFW - your baby has citizenship here, but this does not give you any status. You will probably still have to go back to your home country at the end of your work permit unless you qualify for PR under the regular programs.

Canada Border Services has their tip line: 1-800-461-9999. They will do an investigation and see deport anyone who is working illegally.

It's almost impossible to give proper advice to this poster because he doesn't say which immigration stream he wishes to apply for. For AINP Family Stream, you need 10,000 +2,000 for every dependent to be eligible. If you submit an application with only $5000, then it will be incomplete and sent...

I don't think looking for work in Canada is going to be as easy as posting a message in a forum. Since it is so competitive to hire skilled workers and their isn't as many jobs available as their once were, it's becoming really tight. The best method is try, try and try. You'll probably get...

To the best of my knowledge they are still giving nominations, the only problem is that the office is swamped with a limited amount of officers to process applications. It will take time, but the program is still open.

I've heard as well in Alberta that it takes about 2-3 months. It's not really a speedy process.

Did you apply under the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) Employer Driven stream? If you did, contact the Immigrate to Alberta Info Service and see what the AINP time lines are. 1-877-427-6419. Good luck

It's probably best that you check directly with the AINP Family Stream itself. Their email is family.steam@gov.ab.ca - They should answer your question in 3-4 days. They are the experts on the program, they'll know the answer to such a specific question.

Check the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) link provided by the previous poster. As for cost of living, hard to say really. 80K is a fairly good salary but it all depends on how you want to live. From what I've seen though a family of 4 can live fairly comfortably on that income. Rent is anywhere...

So many people wanting to come to Canada... Just a bit of advice to those almost begging for a way to come to Canada. Remember, Canada takes about 250,000 people a year as immigrants. The number of people who apply to come is close to a million. (I don't have the exact number). It is very very...

Alberta releases the Wage & Salary survery on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS). This lists the average salary for occupations in Alberta. www.alis.alberta.ca/wageinfo. There are also occupational profiles which describe hundreds of occupations in Alberta. For more labour market...

Government jobs at all levels are very competitive, particularly for the entry level positions. I've heard that they may have 200+ resumes for a single position. I've read that the Fed gov't gives 'priority' over citizens vs pr, but they can't discriminate so they need to pick the best person...

The same rules would apply as if you wish to sponsor any spouse. As a TFW you can only bring your spouse over if you are in skill class 0, A or B. You would need to make sure that the divorce and marriage are legally completed. If the divorce is at all contested you may encounter difficulties...
