    Leaving Canada after applying citizenship

    Who said one does not need to have experience in the field of application to be become successful applicant?! I have never implied that. If you are a generalist engineer, for example, without specific area of expertise your chances of getting a well-paid job in the oil and gas – are slim. Add...

    Leaving Canada after applying citizenship

    Crap!!! Everyone from my circle in Calgary (all immigrants) is paid from 150 k per year. I am talking 25 average people at least I know personally. And it's not limited to oil and gas jobs only.

    My file was transferred on March 27, 2013. My test was only on February 17, 2014. So in 11 months after the transfer. If the past is any indication of future timelines then you have to wait for about a year.

    T4, NOA, employment letter

    You are right. I chose not to translate the Russian and Azery stamps in my passports to save money and hassle. It was not a haphazard decision but rather one based on conventional wisdom and the feedback of those in similar similar circumstances. Straggle to see how this makes me less organized.

    T4, NOA, employment letter

    The debate on whether to include non required pieces of information on not with your application will never stop, as it is a qualitative assessment that cannot be quantified. I can only rely on my personal experience when I offer my opinion on this subject. I included everything above...
