Any ideas on how to obtain a TRV (once I get my WP renewed) without having to wait the regular processing time for online applications (20 days)? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!!!

Do you know if I can apply at least for the WP at the border with an expired TRV? Thanks!

Hi all, I am considering driving to the border to renew both my WP and TRV (Is this possible?). I have submitted an online application to renew my WP (LMIA exempt, same employer) on June 2 but because processing times are >100 days, I won't get it before the end of September. I need to travel...

No, it expired on June 30. Any ideas?

Hello, I applied to renew my WP (LMIA exempt, same employer) online from within Canada. Current processing time is 112 days which would mean that it will get approved around September 22 excluding mailing time. Then, I will have to apply for the temporary resident visa which will take another...

I applied for a WP extension with a LMIA exempt employer on June 2nd and still waiting (~60 days). I am guessing it will take 100 days :s. My WP already expired on June 30th but my understanding is that when this happens you fall into implied status until a decision is reached on the renewal. So...

Hi Kucuy15, I am curious to know how exactly you submitted your FBI PC to CIC without them asking for it. When submitting the CSE, what option did you choose? "Verification of status, replacement, and verification of documents" or "Express Entry"? I know it is a minor detail but I am so...

After completing your EE application, did you guys register for Job Bank??! This is contradictory since we do have job offers, but may be necessary?! One of the messages says that because we do not have a "valid job offer" supported by an LMIA (even when we do have a job offer, but LMIA except...

I am in the same situation. Even when I have a job offer under my current work permit, and I have 2 years of work experience as a PDF, I do not get any points (should get 600!!!) because postdocs do not require a LMIA. The issue is that academic positions are "exempt" from LMIA but this is...

Thanks PPM, Do you know if the 2-month period of grace before one must register a car in Ontario will "reset" every time one crosses the US-CAnada border? Tricky question? Thanks again, Xavier

Thank you for all the responses. I thought that someone living in Canada with a temporary status (such as with a work permit) does not have to "import" a car (RIV process). My understanding was that "visitors, for a period of 12 months or less; temporary residents such as students studying at...

Hi californiadash, I am moving to Toronto in July and I have the same questions you had a few months ago (It sounds like you are probably in Toronto by now). Have you had to register your car in Ontario? Have you kept your car insurance? Is Farmers covering you while you are there? Thank you.

Hello, I am moving to Toronto from the US wih a 2-year work permit (not a US citizen) and plan to bring my car that currently has US plates which are valid for 1 year. I understand I have to "temporarily import" my car into Canada and have 60 days to register the car in Ontario and obtain the...

Colin, Any updates on this? I am also waiting for the passport request but I am thinking if sending the passport before they request it will speed up the process. Any thoughts anyone? Thank you!

I am still not sure of what to do. Please send any suggestions this way. My medical exams were mailed by the Doctor's office around May 7th but I haven't heard back from the Washington office regarding the passport or WP. What if I send them my passport before they request it? I am in a bit of a...
