PPR May 3rd! Wow. I didn't think I was going to get it...

Hello, I'm an American citizen. As far as taxation, as a US citizen you are responsible for paying taxes to the US government on your worldwide income. Doesn't matter if you live overseas, work overseas, and never set foot in the US. There are a few things you should investigate: earned...

Well my friends, I wish you well in Canada. I'm now only 4 days away from my 6 month anniversary for my AOR and so far nothing, even with GCMS notes requested 4 weeks ago...I'm only 3 weeks away from having to make a critical career related decision here and without a PPR or some indication...

To everyone who has already received a PPR, congratulations. Starting to lose hope, I'm 2.5 weeks from the 6 month deadline and according to my consultant there's been no movement on my application in months.

Congratulations, littlemissmermaid. Out of curiousity, has anyone used this website to check on their status? https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en I tried it using the UIC number on my letter, but it said I couldn't...

Yeah, that did go quickly for you. I requested the GCMS notes for my file today. Guess we shall see what happens.

After looking at the spreadsheet, of all the FSW/Outland applicants from November 2015, it would appear as if only one of us - Blackpearl - has progressed to the PPR stage. Care to share your secrets?

Just curious where everyone was in this process. EE application submitted 9/2015. Invitation to apply a week later. Application submitted 11/2015. Pre-emptively completed and submitted medical exams with the application 10/2015. Haven't heard a thing since 11/2015. 5 months now. LMIA...

I actually didn't do mine myself, I retained - at considerable expense - an immigration lawyer to handle mine for this very reason. It is a fact of the human condition that connections and contacts unlock a lot of doors, no matter where you happen to live. In my case it hasn't seemed to do...

Interesting...we're both almost 5 months into the process now. Did you apply on your own, or go through an immigration lawyer? I wonder if anyone else who applied late in 2015 has heard anything...?

Has anyone who applied in Nov 2015 heard anything back yet?

...anyone? Has anyone who applied in the fall of 2015 heard anything?

Thanks, I do have a few options, but have been concentrating on Canada for the past year or so. My biggest concern is whether an X dollar a year salary in Canada still feels like an X dollar a year salary or does it feel like X-30% given the devaluation of the CAD. If it is the former, the...

Well, there is that. But I have a job offer outside the oil industry and the risk of a layoff really isn't the issue. I am wondering more about the effect of the standard of living given the loss of purchasing power of the Cad in international markets.

The CAD has fallen precipitously over the past year. The end result is that the pay package I was offered is now worth 30% less than it was when converted to my country of current residence. The question for those who are thinking of going or are already there is how much does this affect the...

Hello everyone! I'm an American Citizen and am in the process of applying for Canadian residency as Skilled Worker. I've retained a Toronto attorney to represent me and submitted my credentials to the Medical Council of Canada for recognition. After a December interview, I will more than...
