    Should I try to prove SPOUSE's work experience or NOT? (avoid misrepresentation)

    Dear forum, My spouse worked as a full-time employee only for 1.5 years, and after that he began working as a freelancer. We know his freelance experience will be very hard to prove since he worked for a lot of different clients, and gathering all that information seems rather impossible at the...

    Permanent Residence - validity and expiration (when to land in Canada)

    Landing in Canada and getting the PR Card, then coming back home until I can finally relocate, sounds reasonable enough. I know about the 2/5 y stay, but I was more worried about the former issue. Thanks to everyone.

    Permanent Residence - validity and expiration (when to land in Canada)

    Thanks to both. If the validity at the time the COPR was issued is too short, is there any way to extend it to be able to land in Canada after that period? I'd hate going through this process, spend a lot of money on it and then realize I'm out of time to move and I have to do it quickly. I'm...

    help on proof of funds

    Thanks Pippin, but the problem is exactly that I don't have anything in paper to explain where the funds came from. It's just money I saved in cash during the years and foreign currency we bought years ago, but don't have anything to back up that claim anymore. I was also thinking of selling...

    help on proof of funds

    I have my savings in cash :o what do I do? If I deposit all the money at the same time how do I explain the growth in my bank account? Besides, since the money is in a foreign currency, it's a LOT of money (although not in dollars), but it will easily triple my balance for the last months...

    Proof of fund

    I have the same question. My bank account currency is not in DOLLARS and I have my savings in cash (because of bank's foreign currency limitations). I don't know how I can prove that I have the money if I can't deposit the amount in my bank account. And even if I do deposit it, they are asking...

    Evaluating spouse's degree if she is not the principal applicant ?

    From what I've read, you only need to do the ECA evaluation for your partner if you want to claim points from them. BUT. The higher the total score, the more chances you'll have to be invited. Unless you already have a a) job offer or b) province nomination that grants you an extra 600 points...

    Freelance experience and proof

    Thanks for your reply. My partner does not use any website to apply for freelance jobs. As a matter of fact, where I live is not common to use those websites. We, instead, contact CONSULTING FIRMS directly and they provide us with clients. But there's no such thing as an official record...
