ah damn, I was suspecting it would be a drive from the city, but 4 hours? that makes quite an effort. Would you know if this is the closest? I'm looking for spots that could be less than 1-2 hours from the city. If you're aware of any dive spots, please share.

That's definitely a NO then. I would prefer to keep my rent lower. Let me add these place to my 'To research' list, thanks!

I'm looking for suggestions on neighborhoods to move in Toronto. I have been reading up about all the options available across Toronto and Mississauga. I guess this is a problem of too many choices so would appreciate opinions and suggestions from those of you already living there. About me so...

Just worked up a plan to convince my current employer to let me continue working. I know that's not what you're looking for. But here's my experience if it helps: I did a cursory search into the job hunt process and realized it would be quite an uphill task with all the things going against me...

Thanks for sharing. What specifically caught my attention was your comment on the rain. I think I would feel the same way about it. Since you've lived in both places, would you prefer the snow over the rain? Is it a lesser evil (pain) type of situation? Please share more about the rain. I've...

Hello, Lets start with a shoutout to all the mods and contributors on this forum - for the past 9 months this forum has been extremely helpful, not just from the treasure trove of articles, Q&A, but also when I posted questions and needed urgent and accurate info. I finally reached the last...

Happy new year everyone! I've finally reached the last leg of my PR journey (FSW express entry) - will be receiving my passport with the CoPR visa in the next two days. Was wondering if there's any tips or tricks to lowering my plane ticket costs. I plan to fly in to Canada, spend a few hours...

I just got off the phone with the CIC call center and was told my application has been sent for review by an officer. Has anyone experienced this? When I asked what exactly it was being reviewed for, she suggested calling back in a week since they didn't have any information. When I asked her...

I'm located outside Canada. Is there a number I can call them on? I did try a few phone numbers but none of them went through. Heard that's by design - apparently the call center is only for people who are already in Canada. I may be wrong.

I'm an FSW PR Applicant and need to update my change of address. I was told to use the IRCC web form form to update this information. However, the form asks the following question: "Is your application being processed by an office outside Canada?" I'm almost certain I wasn't given this...

My girlfriend is in the process of applying for a PR (FSW express entry). She realizes this will take 6 months or more. She would like to spend time with me so is considering applying for a visitor visa as well. Which should she apply for first? What's the best way to go about maximizing her...

Thanks for this information! We've decided to put the wedding aside for now. I was not aware of this requirement. Glad I checked with you awesome folks here :)

Thanks for that. By how long could it be delayed?

She is Indian, has never applied to or traveled to Canada before. She does have an Australian PR and has travelled to US in the past (tourist visa plus has spent a good 5 years of her childhood living in the states). Could you elaborate on how I can add her to my application and if its better...

Hello, My questions in this post are about getting my fiancé (who will be my wife in another few weeks) a visa so she can join me soon. I am on track to getting my PR in the next month or so. I plan to move to Canada as soon as I get my CoPR. Q: What's the quickest way to get my wife...

10 days - that's quite faster than I'd heard. My friend who did this 1.5 years ago said it took 30 days so I assumed the same. Would you know the average processing time these days?

It has been about 80 days. Thanks for your tip on the google spreadsheet :) - I went around searching for it and landed on the immitracker site - found some really good data. It looks like it can take as little as 70 days for people similar to my profile. COuld you elaborate on the process once...

This. I checked my ITA and found the answer -FSW, so phew. Thanks @skape7 !
