Hi Everyone. I applied for asylum in the U.S in 2005. My case was not going anywhere. I applied for a canadian work perit (employer sponsored) and it was approved. We arrived in Canada last week. Thank you Jesus!!! Many of you (especially QORAX) responded to my questions on my situation ...(asylum applicant applying for temporary visa in Canada). Well...I got the visa. To all of you in the U.S who are either illegal..or have shaky immigration situations...put away your fear...and move forward with your applications to canada.
