    Can I enter Canada by land without PR Card or PRTD?

    Thank you, everyone! We have a US Visa so we'll try that if we don't get the PR Card in time.

    Hi, I just want to say we are in exactly the same situation. I got my AOR and renewed PR card last week of October, but my spouse hasn't gotten any updates. We also send papers in end of July. Hope you get an answer soon, but at least we know it's likely some delay in the PR Card office as...

    Can I enter Canada by land without PR Card or PRTD?

    Hello, We've applied to renew our PR Card since June. I have received mine but my husband has received no AOR, no updates, nothing online and can't get through to anyone via email or phone to even let them know his application is past due. We are set to travel in December but are unsure if...

    LMIA for CEC - wage confusion?

    Hello, Yes, that's exactly right. The high-wage and low-wage stream classification only affects a couple of requirements for the paperwork (advertisement, info you have to give to the government, etc.) Glad I could help!

    LMIA for CEC - wage confusion?

    Hello, Not exactly. What your employer is paying you is NOT what determines whether your occupation is high-wage or low-wage. This is determined by comparing the median wage for Ontario ($22) and the median wage for your occupation according to job bank ($30), NOT your current pay. So...

    LMIA for CEC - wage confusion?

    Online group application and funds

    Hello! My father and my sister, along with my niece, are planning on visiting me this summer. We'd like to apply for their visitor visas all together online (my sister, our father and my 7 year old niece), and put down our father's funds as the funds for everyone, which should be enough (it's a...

    How long do background check and "Review of eligibility" take to complete ?!

    Hello, I can confirm, those two status lines never change until after they send you a request to submit your passport and they have received it, which is basically until the end of your application process. For me, it took around 4-5 months since they changed to "In Progress", and almost 6...
