I only completed 2 years of my 3 year degree. Am I still able to get points? On one site I read that you need a diploma, while another said that you need proof of study. I don't have a diploma but I do have notification of results proving that I completed the 2 years. Does anyone know if these...

With my spouce included in the application, we would only get 417 points. Is there any point in applying now or should I wait 6 months until my points will go up to 465 points? We are both british and have started business here on the IEC visa. I don't know if that will make any difference...

Hi all, My partner and I have just got our 2 year open work permits (IEC). We are going to start a food manufacturing business which will be a ltd company. We are also going to start a consulting business and by the looks of it, a sole proprietorship is the easiest to set up for this. It would...

I'm a British citizen and arrived in Canada on July 1st, exited and then re-entered on the 8th which is the last stamp that's in my passport. From this, I assume I must leave on January 8th but would like to apply for the 1 year open work permit at the end of January and would like to stay here...

Do you know what would be considered an established charity? Would it be plausible for example, if we were to start the charity with a few Canadian citizens on the board of directors and then start doing charitable work within that charity a few months later? Or are we talking years? Thanks.

My partner and I are both British currently on a 6 month tourist visa in Canada. We love it here and would like to start a non-profit/social enterprise which we have been planning for some time, once our 6 months is over. At first, the closest answer to our visa problem I found was the...

Thanks for the reply :) That's a shame. Is there no one we can appeal to? We could both probably get jobs here but that's not what we want to do. It just seems ridiculous that someone wanting to start up a business for their own gains would be eligible but someone else who wants to invest their...

My partner and I are both British and currently on a 6 month tourist visa in Canada. We love it here and would like to start a non-profit/social enterprise which we have been planning for some time, once our 6 months is over. Could anyone tell me whether this would be feasible? The closest I...

Thanks for the advice. We definitely won't be leaving the dogs in the US as they've been our family for a year now. I guess we will have to drive over and hope for the best. If they see that we have been travelling so much, hopefully they will believe that we have no intention of staying...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on a somewhat complicated situation... My partner and I have been travelling the world for 16 months. We are currently in the US but would like to cross the Seattle border and go through to Vancouver at the begginning of July. Am I right in...
