    PR CARD RENEWAL - application returned - new photo specifications

    I called in about this and it's up to the officer to decide whether to reject wrong specification photos even for applications submitted before the November 2015 change. Anyone know if they would accept additional photos if we give them the proper client ID number? Can they match the files? It's...

    Voluntarily Renounce Your Permanent Resident Status ?

    Just, FYI, if you renounce your PR status, regaining it visa sponsorship from your wife will take 6 years according to current processing times.

    Does the CIC require Religious Documents to be translated into English/French?

    If you are sending it in as evidence to support your story, have the document translated. Otherwise you can't expect an officer to understand it or personally have a translator for the document.

    Can i drop my consultant

    If you have a consultant to represent you they cannot give you the GCkey. This is an issue with the CIC system. Consultants have a special account for representatives that allows them to have multiple client accounts within their profile. I don't know if the CIC has a system in place that...

    Few last questions before sending pr renewal application

    1) Just be honest, if you satisfy residency requirements, it doesn't really matter. 2) Again, be honest, if it's a job, call it that, if he's just helping his dad just write family matters or whatever it was. 3) I don't think you have to explain your travel in more detail. Not sure what you mean...

    Consultant/Lawyer arrange Job for CAD $3000~$6000 | Express Entry Consultancy

    It's possible it's just not guaranteed. I get that some people might be mad if the lawyer/consultant told them they could get an LMIA GUARANTEED but it's not that unreasonable to charge for a failed LMIA. As people have mentioned its not straight forward, and I don't see why a lawyer/consultant...

    Goodbye to the Canadian dream

    If your work permit is expiring in 4 months or less you can apply for a bridging open work permit if you have received an acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) from your application of FSWP, CEC, PNP, or FSTP. I don't think CIC has updated the information regarding BOWP and ITA but I don't see why it...

    Goodbye to the Canadian dream

    I agree, but there are some registered consultants and lawyers that offer free consultation to assess a case, I don't see how that would hurt if you are that desperate. If someone complains on the internet about saying "goodbye to the Canadian dream", is going for a free consultation too much a...

    Goodbye to the Canadian dream

    I see a lot of people who have PGWP expiring soon and are very worried. I think this is when you should actually approach an immigration consultant, I've seen a few who offer limited free consultation and they could at least steer you in the right direction.

    LMIA application - Job advertisement period & $1000 fee for work permit

    I think you are getting off topic. If you are getting an LMIA, you can apply for a work permit after your employer gives you the confirmation for a positive LMIA.

    LMIA application - Job advertisement period & $1000 fee for work permit

    Oh my bad, forgot a very important word haha The employer must also target "underrepresented groups".

    LMIA application - Job advertisement period & $1000 fee for work permit

    The $1000 LMIA is for an employer looking to hire TFW. If you are someone looking for an LMIA for a PR application you or your employer won't have to worry about the $1000. The LMIA is free if it is for a PR application and you will *not* get a closed work permit with the company. *edit missed...

    Great PR Advice from CIC

    Exactly, if the CIC see that there are people with 700 points, they will know there is a problem with the system in which case they will make changes to EE.

    You need it to get the points related to the education requirements so the answer is yes if you want those points.

    Great PR Advice from CIC

    If this is the case, the system will be revamped since it isn't working towards the goal of Canada's new immigration policy.

    Great PR Advice from CIC

    Actually, once they exhaust the PNP and LMIA group, the cutoff will fall below 600 and it's not that farfetched to see applicants getting through in the 400s. For example, if you have 900 points, 600 came from the LMIA which leaves 300 for other attributes which is fairly low. I think it would...
