My parents applied for visitor visa back in 2022 and got approval. My dad was still working back then, and we submitted his employment letter + bank statements as proof of funds. They both travelled to Canada for 2 weeks in summer 2022. Then he retired by the end of 2022, and they both came back...

I live and work in Ontario (OWP) and I have OHIP coverage. Last month I travel abroad to visit my family and I injured my back. I had to go to the hospital and pay some bills (around $1000). When I came back, I was told by a coworker that I can file an out-of-province claim through OHIP for...

So I got an email today from IRCC saying I'm eligible for the PGWP extension, as announced a few days ago. One of the requirements say I have two citizenships (Honduran and Colombian) and hold passports for both countries. I was living in Honduras when I applied for my study permit, so I used...

So Canada's immigration minister announced today that they will be extending any PGWP expiring in 2023, just like they did in 2022. I'm still not sure how much time will they extend it for, but it'll most likely be 18 months. Applications for extension will be open starting April 6th...

Hey everyone. So my wife has a sort of special case: 1. She applied for her SOWP extension on July 2022 after I got my PGWP. When she submitted her application, she stated "No" at the section were it asks if you are going to work on a health-related job. 3. In September we moved to a different...

I'm submitting a visitor visa application for both of my parents-in-law. I've filled out all the forms for them, but some of them require a signature. I've sent them the forms to print them, sign them, and send them back scanned, but the results aren't so great as they are not tech-savvy at all...

Hi. I'm on a PGWP. My parents got their visitor visa this year and they spent a couple of weeks visiting in June. They want to come back next year, but my dad's passport AND visitor visa are expiring by the end of September, two days after his birthday. I was thinking about celebrating his...

I'm on a PGWP. I submitted my wife's SOWP extension after her original SOWP expired.

So I finished my studies in April, got my completion letter in May, and applied for PGWP.

Hello, I came to Canada as a student. I submitted my PGWP in May and my wife's WP extension in July. We both received a provisional letter while we wait for the work permits to be approved (IRCC is taking up to five months). So we're kind of in an "implied status", although our provisional...

Hi friends. After a few months of planning, I'm finally travelling to Canada next Monday. I still have some doubts about certain topics I hope you can help me with. 1. I've always heard you can travel with up to $10K in cash. If I travel to Canada, this applies as 10K CAD (which is a little...
