    Moving to next education level

    Hi, does anyone have experience with the immigration procedure involved in moving to the next education level (eg. from Masters to Doctoral program) within Canada. Can this be done without any new immigration documents if the old study permit is still valid? I am referring to...

    Second Program Study Permit from Outside Canada

    Hi, I am looking for some advice or feedback from people who have applied similarly before. I just completed my Master's from a Canadian University in May 2022 and returned to my home country, India, immediately thereafter. The study permit (SP) obtained for this program has an expiry date of...

    Indirect route from India

    Thanks for pointing that out! I’m trying to speak with the airline company to confirm this but some frequent travellers have informed me that you can request for bags to be tagged to the final destination, irrespective of PNR. But if the airlines don’t confirm, I plan to travel with only cabin...

    Hi @Shadow_Man, you said you know people who reached Canada by this route? Could you please elaborate? The transit testing seems to be only for passengers to/from China. Thanks in advance!

    Canada-India travel ban extended till Sep 2021. Let's Organize!

    Yes of course - no tagging IRCC or authorities which have no stake/say. But let's all raise our voices on Twitter and float these ideas like the secure link verification mentioned by @itsmecan, or the obvious one to have authorised/empanelled testing centres in India like we have panel...

    Canada-India travel ban extended till Sep 2021. Let's Organize!

    You're right. I meant Indian embassies/ high commissions in those countries - should have phrased that correctly. Basically, our diplomats in Canada clearly haven't been doing a great job. So I am not sure how far they'll go for us now even with increased social media/ other pressure. So...

    Yes, let's please do this! Apart from Canadian and Indian ministers, organisations and media - we could also collectively request [EDIT: countries our ambassadors/CGs in countries] such as the UAE, Germany and Switzerland to extend their existing transit testing facilities to Indian passengers...

    Indirect route from India

    Looks good as long as the 8hr break isn't overnight (basically, fly out of Heathrow before midnight - making us feel like Cinderella). Also I think someone mentioned this earlier - for travellers to Canada with Canadian visa/PR who cross border control, the UK govt website says that you "might...

    Indirect route from India

    I believe you need to either (1) book the Heathrow-Mexico flight on the same day as you reach Heathrow; or (2) book a transit hotel, if the onward flight is on the next day. Otherwise you will need to pass through border control (and hence, need a visa). [Source...

    Indirect route from India

    Hi all, thanks for all the helpful information on this thread! I was wondering if anyone has tried for the Schengen visa? It typically takes about a month. I am unaware of current processing timelines, but won't this open up multiple routes? eg. stopover and testing in Frankfurt. Am I missing...
