    Alberta Common Law TFW/PR - Help & Advice Needed

    Thank you for those good points! That's an oversight on my part and understand the OWP would most likely be voided if we decided to do the EE. According to her, work is most important.

    Alberta Common Law TFW/PR - Help & Advice Needed

    Thank you again for everyone's help! This forum and the people here have been far more helpful than any Firm/Agency, Lawyer or even the CIC directly (phone Call). As per the CIC, the open work permit validity is on a case by case basis... but I guess it can also be renewed? I understand the...

    Alberta Common Law TFW/PR - Help & Advice Needed

    I need some clarification for the OutLand. If we decide to apply for OutLand, how much quicker would the processing time be? Can we do this while she's in Canada? Or does she have to go back to the Philippines? The Inland looks better for us because she'll be able to work with the OPW while...

    Alberta Common Law TFW/PR - Help & Advice Needed

    Ahhh... So we wouldn't even qualify or be seen as Alberta "Common Law" under the 'adult interdependent relationships' act? If we decide to apply for this on our own, with no firm or lawyer... where do we begin? We have proof that we've been together since July of 2014 and living together...

    Looking for a LMIA.... Impossible/Possible??

    This might be a ridiculous question.... but when is the next Express Entry draw? My girlfriend just got her Celpip in the mail and we're about to create a Express Entry Profile. Ultimately she would love to get a job with a LMIA... but they seem to be only a Myth.... Anyone else had any luck...

    Looking for a LMIA.... Impossible/Possible??

    Thank you for everyone's responses! Education is certainly a route we're going to take a look at. She is not currently employed, but I think we're about to tweak her Cover Letter and verbally ask manager's if they're willing to get a LMIA. The unfortunate thing is that she was close to her EE...
