I know this is a long shot, but is there anyway to get a refund on a work permit that you no longer require. Reason why is because I was still waiting on my PR and my work permit expired, so I had to apply for another one so I could continue to work whilst waiting for the decision on my PR. Now...

I was in that position too and was able to get some money back after filing my tax return. As long as you have a T4 for the previous year. You can go online and its free to file, there are various companies out there (see here for a list...

liisa227 ;) thank you soo much! I am just being over cautious as I am nearly at the finish line and don't want to mess it up.

Finally after 2 years+ and thousands of dollars later I have my PR :)…..wait…..not quite yet as there are more steps meaning more money to pay out. >:( Can anyone who has been through this help answer the following two questions: 1. I have received a letter from the CIC office in Ottawa...

Hi I have applied for an extension to my work permit that is due to expire on May 20, but I would like to travel to the US but return on one day before my permit expires. Can I travel to US and will Canada let me in? Or do I lose my status as a “worker” or “implied status” if that applied to me.

It seems there are a lot of variables, I have applied as a foreign worker and I am already living and working in Canada. When I landed they didn't ask me for proof of funds. I don't have any dependents so I am just looking for a "ball park" figure which they will be satisfied with. So just...

I am in the same situation (Ontario provincial nominee), I do not know what figure I need to put in the box for "funds" too, as I am working in a full time permanent job. What figure would I need to write in the box? If I need to provide bank statements I am concerned as the figure will...

I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong thread to post this unless someone can direct me to the correct thread I should be posting to. I have my Provincial nomination certificate and now I am in the middle of my PR application. But I am stuck on how to answer the question on the form...

I am in the same situation, does this mean I only need to submit 6 pictures of myself? :o Can I just take a headshot photo of myself and then make sure I have the correct dimensions and submit that or would they complain about lighting etc, like its too bright or too dark etc?

Hi So does that mean even though I have a PCC that was printed in December 2013 I should get a new one because it won't be valid if I am submitting it for my PR application in June 2014?

I don't know what a visitor record is and have no idea how to apply to get one, if it is through CIC again then I don't think it be any faster as I have already applied for my WP. But thank you for the advice I will contact them and let them know of my situation and hopefully they will be...

It great to see that many have their "packages" or approvals already but did anyone here apply under the foreign worker stream? As they have asked me for so many supporting documents since September 2013 and they still want more. My permit expired so I had to leave at the end of last year and...

Thank you and thank you iam_toby for your help ;D Wished they would make that more expressly clearer.

Hi I have filed out the application for a work permit outside Canada, validated it and saved the document. I printed it out and signed it and re-scanned it in and tried to upload it but the CIC online website keeps on saying error it cannot be validated. Which I don't understand because it does...

Yep a long wait for all of us, but has anyone here applied for the "worker PNP route" because they have asked for so many supporting documents a second time this past October. Did anyone else get asked to provide more documents? I queried this and they said it just means its being processed at a...

Thank you for the information, I think now that I had a chance to get over that shock and think about it more. I think you are probably right about the time it took for me to open a Kompass account and those that already had an account could just press the submit button. Fingers crossed that you...

I hope someone can provide me with some help. The second round for British Citizens opened today this morning and I opened a Kompass account and was in the process of filling in the sections of the applications and when I reached the IEC category an alert popped up saying that it is not open for...

Yes sorry to be the bad bearer of news, that is how I felt when they told me that. :o Fingers crossed yours and mine get approved for the 2014 quota. The province people have always been nice and if they don't pick up you can leave a message and they would call back, it took them 2 days to call...

Thank you for the clarification :D because I am trying to understand how this new system operates and make sure I have everything to make the first cut. I just hope they live up to the 8 week processing time because when I applied for the 2012 intake it took in total (from submission to their...

Thanks for the update. As I haven't used this online system before, are they referring to the application IMM1295E that has to be completed and submitted in the first stage as well as all the other "required/supporting documents"? As that is what I did the first time and posted it all together...
