    Yes as long as the other job is also skilled

    Is There Still Hope for Express Entry or Nomination? Chemical Engineer with 8 Yrs Experience

    I believe the 415 drop was for CEC. You no longer qualify for the CEC draws. And even if you did, I think the chances of the score going that low in any draw in the forseeable future are nil. I think French is really your best bet at this point, unless you can somehow secure a closed work...

    Is There Still Hope for Express Entry or Nomination? Chemical Engineer with 8 Yrs Experience

    This will only work if you are also living and working in Saskatchewan. Having a connection isn't enough these days to be nominated by the province.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    I would think she would need to take the test while she still has valid status or she won't get the results soon enough to have time to complete the work permit application and restoration. IMO - She is very short on time and needs to have a back up plan if none of this pans out.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    If she hasn't already started learning French then I think it's too late for the plan to secure an LMIA exempt work permit based on knowing French. She should have started last year.

    Open and closed work permit together

    1. Yes, still valid. 2. Don't know. 3. Program is closed to new applications and we don't know if it will reopen. I would make the assumption that the open work permit cannot be extended.

    Common-law and married to the same person

    See the details on the IRCC website. It should be easy for you in you have been living together for three years and can show multiple pieces of evidence dating back at least one year with the shared address.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    Is the employer willing to go through the LMIA process? They need to start now. Note that the job needs to be full time.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    Get a job offer and approved LMIA before the expiry of the PGWP and apply for a closed work permit.

    Common-law and married to the same person

    Sure. Note the higher evidence bar to prove common law.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    If she can get an approved LMIA then she can apply for a closed work permit before August 17th and continue working.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    I assume you are asking about a new work permit? If so, then to the best of my knowledge this application would need to be submitted as an outside of Canada application.

    approved at the hearing, only to have their PR application rejected later?

    It is possible if some sort of security issue or misrepresentation is identified during the PR process that wasn't identified during the claim. It's rare but it does happen.

    Start up - Businesses

    This thread deals with the Start Up visa program. There really isn't scope for this through this program unless someone was proposing a truly innovative approach to the business. A normal car wash won't cut it.

    Visa Deactivation Email received from IRCC - One week past to my Flying Dates

    IMO you need to apply for a new TRV.

    Already 100 days from passing my citizenship exam, no date for oath taking.

    Post to the citizenship section. Note that the estimated processing time for citizenship grants is 10 months.

    Is There Still Hope for Express Entry or Nomination? Chemical Engineer with 8 Yrs Experience

    PNP likely isn't an option without a job offer in Canada. For Express Entry, I don't think you would have enough points to be selected. As you said, it's more competitive now than when you originally applied. Learn French to a CLB7 level to increase your score and also qualify for the French...

    Questions regarding my partner immigrating with me to Canada

    It's your choice if you apply for PR first alone and then sponsor her later or if you include her in your application. To eithers sponsor her or include her in your application you must either be married or common law. Common law means you have lived together continuously (without breaks) for at...

    unemployed while waiting for PR processing.. a question

    IMO the risk you are running is that IRCC will say he no longer has a job offer given you've had to suspend employment. If IRCC decides he no longer has a valid job offer, I expect this would impact PR being granted.

    Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union

    Ah - you are fine in that case. 100% agree the bank accounts don't have to be joint. They just need to show the shared address for 12+ months.
