It's really not. Yes. As a Permanent Resident, you have the right to enter Canada. As such, at the land border, you are welcome to do so. As an airline, they are not permitted to bring people to Canada without proper documentation, as they may be rejected and sent back. More importantly...

That's simply not true. I have crossed in the past without having anything scanned at all. They took my documents, looked at them, handed them back, and waved me on. It was at a land crossing border. It doesn't. They can search to find it if they want, and when they scan, it will alert if...

They can find all visas and permits linked to that passport number, and do a search by name. If you're a US citizen, you won't have a visa. You might have work permits or study permits. They can look at the notes, which will be there if you landed using that passport. If you have replaced...

Why does the country need to grow? Canada was fine with a lower population, and automation is destroying jobs. 20% of the labour force is involved in transportation, and there are about 20 years (if that) before those jobs are largely gone. Population decline is a good thing.

You have to know how to write the LMIA application properly. We had 70-some-odd applicants. I helped write the LMIA, and it came back perfectly fine.

From a tax standpoint, it does.

The best way to arrive at the conclusion that international students are poor choices for an immigration program is to actually meet some international students. Canada can do better than most of them.

The document is correct - you may be eligible. They want to avoid people who are eligible not being aware of the possibility. The document even mentions the points system, that it can help you qualify for Permanent Status. Let me show you another document...

You would be wrong. You just need a bigger down payment.

1.888.242.2100 Contacting CIC by phone: If you are in Canada, you can call the CIC Call Centre by dialling 1.888.242.2100, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm local time, except for statutory holidays. To speak to an agent, you can sometimes navigate through the automated messages by pressing 1-1-1-2-0.

The PR travel document is designed specifically to travel with. It shows that you meet the residency obligation (even better than the PR card), and is presumptive proof of Permanent Resident status. The officers in question are perfectly fine with them, and the airlines should be, too. It's...

It will not be that low.

A few people said that, like bestofluck. Many of us pointed out that the new shift towards refugees and family class would raise scores for FSW. It did. The priorities have not changed since, so there is no reason to expect significant declines (sub 450) in the immediate future.

First, they aren't totalitarian regimes. You are free to leave the country, and there is no required documentation to do so. You can get in a boat and head out, and nobody will stop you. Second, it's not an easy problem. There are lots of ways to enter and exit the country, and a good amount...
