Hi all, I have a quick question about first-time tax filing. I did my short landing in March 2018 and actually moved in June. Today, I was trying to submit my income taxes through SimpleTax but validation failed at the last step. I read the help section and it seems this happens because the...

Hi friends! Last month I did a short landing and came back to the US. I've been tracking the status of my PR cards and think my friends will be receiving them soon. I'm planning for them to send them over via Fedex to the US, but I'm wondering if I have to fill any sort of document (like a...

Hi all! I completed my landing recently and I'm trying to find a way to check the address where they will send my PR cards. During landing, the immigration officer took the address from my disembarkment card, so I just want to double check it since my handwriting isn't the most legible. I...

Hi friends! I'm about to do my landing and am a little confused regarding the requirement of declaring money if it's more than $10,000. I'm not actually bringing in cash or other monetary instruments, I have a US TD account and plan to simply transfer my funds to a Canadian TD account once I...

Hi friends! Sorry for the repost, but last time I didn't get a clear answer and I'm still wondering what to do. I recently got my PPR email. I'm the main applicant and need a visa to travel to Canada. My wife doesn't need a visa. Should we: a. Send both passports? b. Send only my passport and...

Hi friends! I recently received the PPR email and am wondering whether I should send my wife's passport along with mine. She is from a visa-exempt country but I am not (I'm the applicant). The wording in the PPR makes it sound like everyone has to send in their passport if the main applicant is...

Hello friends! I'm currently at the NA1 stage and have 1 action required on my part: obtaining the Mexican PCC for my wife. Mexico is one of the countries where, if you live outside, you have to request a PCC through the Canadian embassy there who will send the results directly to the case...

Hello friends! I have a question about the process for requesting a PCC from a country that requires IRCC to request it (concretely, Mexico). In the instructions, they mention that we have to upload a placeholder in the application, and then wait for further instructions after AoR. However, a...

Dear Forum Members, Hypothetically speaking, if I were to get a job offer in Canada after submitting my PR application, is there any way this would be beneficial for the process itself (i.e. faster processing time, waiver of the proof of funds requirement when landing, etc.)? I'm applying...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has been hired through the Global Talent Stream. One of the biggest hurdles I've seen people mention regarding the hiring of foreigners from outside of Canada is the need for an LMIA. However, if I understand the Global Talent Stream Program correctly...

Hi friends! I'm having some trouble with my work experience letters and was hoping you could offer some advice/experience: 1. I worked for 3 years and 10 months for a government entity in my country. The first 6 months I was hired as a contractor through a staffing firm, and the remaining...

Hi friends! I'm wondering if anybody here has had any experience looking for and getting a job in Information Security as a newcomer to Canada. On the one hand, I keep reading how much of a shortage of Information Security professionals there is, both in Canada and in general, and how the IT...

Hello friends! Some of the documents I have to submit for the PR application are in Spanish and I need to present both the original and a translated copy. I know that I can either have them translated by a Canadian-certified translator or by presenting an authenticated affidavit of the...

Hello folks! I'm in a bit of a dilemma about what to do regarding my ITA. My wife and I both submitted an EE profile (each), and we both got an ITA in yesterday's drawing. We are now aware that we would have been fine with one profile. So obviously we are going to continue the application with...
