It doesn't appear the web site is totally up to date. The new rules should provide me with additional points (from the CIC site: you can earn 30 points for a degree, diploma or certificate of three years or longer, or for a Master’s, professional or doctoral degree of at least one academic...

Interesting. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this, but I think I would qualify under NAFTA. In addition to full time work as an instructional designer in higher education, I also teach as an adjunct instructor. I've been doing this for roughly fifteen years and would easily have...

I just posted on another topic but did study in Canada for one year (M.B.A.). Due to a family health issue, I had to return to the U.S. and never had an opportunity to do any post-graduate work in Canada. My post-graduate work permit expired and without a job in Canada at the time, was not able...

I had the opportunity to study in Canada several years ago (Master's degree attained), but found it extremely difficult to remain. My mother had a serious health issue in the U.S. so I returned and took a full-time job. While I had a work permit in Canada, I was never able to obtain a job in...

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the intent is to immigrate. We don't have a testing centre anywhere close to where I live and just wanted to make sure I am not missing something before I go through the process of taking time from work to travel to a location where this can be done. It seems...

I am from an English-speaking country (born and raised in the USA) went to college in Canada (Master's in Business Administration), and I still need to take this test? Not just me, but with my wife this will be an additional $500, not to mention travel to a location that does this test as we...

Well, it looks like I'm out. I work in higher education working fulltime as a multimedia technician (NOC 2164 which was never on the list)) and was teaching parttime at the college level (NOC 4131 which was on the list) for over ten years. I waited too long and don't see many options. I am...

I would think this would be understood as a typo, particularly if everything else has been honest and forthright and the mistake was not intentional. Here's my dilema though. I was 18 more than 30 years ago. I cannot remember each of teh addresses I've had since then. I know the towns and...

It's been awhile since I've pursued this but once again I am seriously looking at going through the immigration process.  My wife and I are U.S. citizens and have good jobs, no criminal history, and are financially sound.  I am in decent health for my age (48) and on all other accounts I am sure...

This is of interest to me as well because my wife is diabetic and I'm afraid I may be denied because of her. Although she is in fairly good health now, she had issues with it in the past (including a kidney transplant in 2004 and a few episodes of hypoglycemia, a.k.a. low blood sugar, requiring...

Obviously, anyone who has an occupation on the list of 38 will vote for option 1, while all others (I'm assuming the majority of us) will vote for option 2. I have more of a tech related job (not on the list) but have also been teaching part-time at a community college. I'm not sure whether...

I am not so sure this is good news for some of us. While I have a Bachelor's degree in Finance (on the list), my Master's degree is in Telecommunications (not on the list) and my work experience over the past thirteen years has been in technical support in Distance Education (also not on the...

What if I am in good health, but my spouse, who will accompany me, is not. She had a kidney transplant in 2004 and the kidney is fine (takes imneosuppresants and has had no issues at all concerning the transplant), however, she is diabetic and has has ocassional issues because of it (low sugar...

I have been looking up info on Alberta's AINP strategic recruitment stream and think I may have given the wrong impression that I am in the US on a H-1B visa. I should clear by saying that I am a US citizen (born and raised) seeking a move to Canada. What I meant by being in the same boat is...

Thank you eduardoF and BCguy for the information. I will definitely look up some of the prospects you both mentioned. As for why so many Americans choose to immigrate to Canada.... well, for me, it's just a love of the country. It's not political. I am not trying to flee the United States as...

I am in the same boat. I work in distance education in the US and have some IT background (videoconferencing), but I'm not so sure that kind of work is in high demand. Even if it was, I doubt any employer would be willing to wait 18 months or more for the paperwork to process. Therefore I...

Thank You Leon and Ghiaskhan. It appears I have nothing to worry about concerning health care. I'm just lost as to how to go about making contacts and find prospective jobs. I work at a higher ed institution (university) and am behind the scenes dealing with distance education and...

My wife and I have been discussing a potential move to Canada for several years (although I've considered it for several decades). I never applied until now because I have a daughter from a previous marriage and (although I had custody) shipping her back and forth between the US and Canada...
