I am planning on registering a consulting business in Ontario. For now, I am employed with a company and the business is more of a side venture. For now, I probably going to take on the odd consulting job here and there while I build up my business and contacts. It may likely be dormant for the...

I landed on Nov 25, 2009 in Toronto. Spent the last 7 months looking for work and obviously have had no luck. So I've decided i'm going back to school. Getting Canadian credentials and work experience through a co-op program should improve my chances of looking for a job after I graduate. So my...

I drove over to the US to visit a friend on May 7 and came back on May 10. The US customs stamped my passport showing that I exited May 7, but the returning Canadian border guard refused to stamp my passport on my return on May 10 despite me requesting him to. When it comes time to my PR...

My uncle just got his COPR and intends to land at the end of this month in Vancouver where his daughter is studying. Since he doesn't intend to move over for a couple more years and doesn't have a fixed address, he wants to apply for PR cards for his family and get them sent to my address in...

I just got my visa yesterday and headed off to join my family in Toronto November 19th. In the notice accompanying my visa and COPR, it says that I can bring items over tax free. Most of my stuff is already over with my family and but I plan on shipping a couple of boxes of things via courier...

My entire family landed in Toronto in 2005 although they did not move there until about April 2007. Right after they landed in 2005, my sister got a job as an architect in New York and decided that she would rather stay in NYC than Canada. However she got laid off in June 2009 and after a few...

I just got a letter from my country's Canadian High Commission asking me 1) To go for a medical exam; 2) To pay the Right to Permanent Residence Fee; 3) Submit 5 recently-taken photographs. My dad (who's already a Canadian PR) says the photographs are to process the PR card. Does this mean that...
