    Sponsoring my wife with previous rejected visa application (with a twist)

    When she sued them the judge initially sided with her and other complainants for a hefty amount, but soon turned his vote and voted in favor of the criminal agency. My wife's lawyer speculates that the agency bought the judge by offering a portion of what they would otherwise have to pay the...

    Sponsoring my wife with previous rejected visa application (with a twist)

    Really appreciate the unopinionated and helpful points. She did in fact sue the firm and her point of contact with the full story of what happened attaching the agreement she signed (that directly instructed the representative to only act on her behalf using the documents she provided only!). We...

    Sponsoring my wife with previous rejected visa application (with a twist)

    okay. no, she did not sign anything. I personally saw the ATIP attachment. Signatures were electronic only and she had no idea these forms were filled with wrong information. She provided her passport and other documents needed to fill out all the forms. This agency was among many who did this...

    Sponsoring my wife with previous rejected visa application (with a twist)

    What do you mean by that exactly? We are going to be truthful about this of course but we don't know what awaits us in a situation like this or what the likely path will be.

    OINP Program (International Student Stream) Do I need an LMIA??

    No I did not end up doing it that way (i.e. did not apply for OINP). I just did a CELPIP test instead of IELTS and got a MUCH higher score which put me up on the list for PR invitation.

    Sponsoring my wife with previous rejected visa application (with a twist)

    I am sponsoring my wife who had a failed visitor visa attempt 4 years ago. The decision was made based on a lack of convincing evidence that she would return home before the visa expired. Here is where it gets complicated: At the time she had trusted a local agency to apply on her behalf (which...

    Express Entry CRS Score and Full Time Internship

    Thanks for the response. I understand... In fact, it's closed now. I'll check that daily. Can I at least check off the box that says I have a job offer on my express entry profile? That improves my mark a lot. Does that offer need an LMIA? I have read the section that explains what makes a job...

    OINP Program (International Student Stream) Do I need an LMIA??

    Hi, I have a question regarding OINP program. I'm currently working as a post graduate on a post graduate work permit and I meet all the requirements except that I am not sure whether my employer needs to submit an LMIA for me. There is no mention in the requirements that an applicant under...

    Express Entry CRS Score and Full Time Internship

    Thank you. I just rescheduled for a new one. I have a question regarding Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program OINP program. I seem to be eligible for International Student stream and there it does not mention that my employer needs to submit an LMIA application for me. Can I take that as I do not...

    Express Entry CRS Score and Full Time Internship

    Well, I meant that I was not working and studying at the same time, if that made any difference which it seems like it does not. This really hurts. With a score around 440 I worry that I may not get accepted in the 12 months that I can be in the pool before my application expires. Sure I can...

    Express Entry CRS Score and Full Time Internship

    Hi all, I'm applying to become permanent resident of Canada and I have a question about my score: I have worked consecutively for 16 month as an intern while I was completing my Bachelor degree (after 3rd year). It was not part of my education in the sense that my program was not a Co-op one...
