Service Canada won't help you with CCB - it's the CRA who administers it. You can apply for and receive CCB as a newcomer before you file your first tax return. Search online for forms RC66 and RC66SCH. Also try calling CRA for guidance if you need help filling the forms. Good luck!

There are a lo I agree with you that there are a lot of fraudsters and schemers in and around the international student system...

You get admission first, declare her as an international student since PR is probably not recoverable at this stage. After admission, it's provincial attestation, and then study permit application. If you can't get the PR renounced in time and/or submit the study permit application in time...

The next frontier in attempts of varying innocence to bend the rules is now attestation letters.

No doctor, I wasn't high every single time I went on a murderous rampage, it was just that one time. ZOMG I got referred for psych eval because I used weed once ages ago!

This is one of the commonly asked questions on this forum: try a search and you will find a lot of discussion. Long story short, applying for OWP gives maintained status. Otherwise, apply for visitor record 30 days before the current visitor status expires.

Canadian GIC is easier to verify than anything foreign, and if in CAD no risk that the local currency exchange rate changes putting you below the threshold.

Be aware that a lot of study permit rules and procedures changed in the last couple of months. Make sure you are well informed before (re)applying.

All I can tell you is to be patient. X-rays are not definitive. They might have seen marks on your lungs that could be TB, could be from your asthma, or something else. That's why the additional tests were requested.

Why not get sponsored for PR then? No permits required and lower tuition fees. OP literally asked if they can abandon/cancel their study permit to go for a work permit instead - meaning that studying was never the point to begin with. Not my fault if you didn't read the thread carefully before...

Oh, look: a covenient place to find "students" who are possibly only looking for a backdoor work permit!

Have you ever had TB? Sounds like they saw something on your chest X-rays that needs further review. The update says they are reviewing your results so I'm not sure what your question is.

Seems like you know the answer already so I'm not sure why you're asking.

You're really making it easy to poke holes in your story. Sorry in advance but I can't resist. Oh, look, fiancee is another way you could have introduced this person instead of "common-law partner". I genuinely don't think anyone ever uses that term colloquially. You may not think twice of it...

Not going to address the defensive attitude again. If anything it reinforces the points I'm making. I do have an honest suggestion. If you really are in a committed relationship and wish to demonstrate that to IRCC, common law is basically married with very minor differences. Why not just get...
