    Bill C24

    Thanks for the reply. I read so too. Also they might want to follow the Australian system, where when they changed the residency requirements, they had a transition time. Already spent 5 years here as a student, faced a rejection and second application took forever due to strikes etc. Hope they...

    Bill C24

    Quick question, I have been following this bill since recently. Was wondering whether you guys have an idea that these new regulations will be applicable on new PRs or applicable to anyone who applies after the bill is passed. I recently became a PR and have a requirement of two years before I...

    You will get it in time 10 days tops. I received mine in a week and all the people I know also got it in record time. They mention on their webpage and in the letter that if you need it back faster, send them a proof of your travels viz ticket and conference acceptance etc. They will send it to...

    Just read all the posts from Quebec members carefully ranging from page 1 of this thread. Recently we have had a good run for Quebec residents but there were tons of rejections too. They clearly showed the intent of leaving Quebec. So go through all the posts and see which fits your situation...

    With first quick look, I would agree with the officer as your work in the said category is not continuous for one year, viz Oct 2006 to Aug 2007, and then Oct 2010 to August 2011. Remaining time was part time. So it was not uninterrupted full time work. Also RA work claimed won't be under the...

    Send email and post both. I sent the file as a single file with both old and new passport as I have to staple them together as per my country's rules and my visas are in my old one. One other thing I did proactively was send a new PCC for my new passport number as I renewed it when I was...

    After initial intro, third person narrative style writing by a first person is normal, Also as S_Govind pointed out, its accepted letter. Also it was discussed on the forum that cut copying pasting from hrsds website is not good for the letter. 40 hrs/ weeks is not an overestimation Its the new...

    Hello Guys I landed today with S_Govind at Fort Erie. Driving experience and directions were same as the earlier posts. The landing experience was good and took 10 mins and the agent was kinda pleasant. I messed up at the customs as I wanted to have a declaration signed for stuff I want to...

    Their landing record directed them 3/4 instead 2/4. I had a big argument regarding this. I will reconfirm with them again.

    Thanks Aidina This is what I knew, but recently a friend of mine told me that he met someone who got 3/4 despite being in Canada for 4 years. Maybe there was an error and they didnt fight back.

    No as I updated them with supporting documents mentioned in my earlier post proactively, maybe thats why, else I don't see any reason why.
