Thanks for the reply. So by online, you mean through the Canadian Embassy in their country (Bolivia)? My concern is that if they are called to an in-person interview, they can't get there (until their border opens, not sure when that will be)

Hello - helping a family member - he is in Canada on a visitor's (tourist) visa and obtained a positive LMIA in March. We planned our trip to the border to flagpole and complete his work permit process, however it was right before the border closed due to COVID. He applied to extend his tourist...

Helping a family member - his LMIA job offer was for 2 years from March 2019-March 2021. He applied at the Detroit/Windsor border and was accepted. However his passport expires in November 2020. So the officer was only able to give him the work permit until the day his passport expires. He is...

For Work visa (for my brother-in-law) - he has the LMIA and all documentation from future employer ready to go. He has a valid multiple entry visitor's visa. He is currently in Canada on a visitor's visa. Is there a difference between going to the US border at Niagara and "Flagpolling" to get...

I'm wondering if, when applying for a Temporary Visa to study in Canada, if we will have to show the visa officer that the applicant will be leaving Canada at the end of his study time? In reality, the hope would be to study and then find a job and apply for a work permit. Not sure if that...

thanks for the info

Hi - I have heard and read many stories about people coming into Canada with a student visa, taking a class for maybe a month then dropping out and remaining for the rest of their permit time - maybe a year or more. I understand the new rules on June 1, 2014 are meant to prevent that from...

Hi - can you give me your thoughts on this situation... I am Canadian and my husband is from Bolivia. He is a PR. We live permanently in Canada. We would like to invite his oldest niece (18 yrs old) to visit us for a few months and over Christmas - she graduated high school and is taking a year...

Good point I was just assuming any government payment would be considered "assistance", but it makes sense as the only way to collect EI is by paying into it. Thanks for your reply.

The Ontario Drive Test website states you must exchange your foreign driver's license for an Ontario license within 60 days of arriving in Ontario. What if the 60 day period has passed? Can you no longer exchange? Thanks

My husband landed in Ontario on March 17, 2011 and has permanent resident status. Under spousal sponsorship, I know he cannot collect any government assistance until the 3 year period is up (March 2014.) We are expecting a baby in August of this year. I plan to take at least 6 or 7 months...

Hi all My husband's niece is finishing high school this year 2013 and wants to come to Canada to study English for 1-2 years before thinking about university in her home country, Bolivia. (I am Canadian, my husband is Bolivian and has permanent residency in Canada. We've been here for 2 years)...
