    Landing in a province other than the one that sponsored you?

    I'm preparing to land in Canada (I will be immediately leaving for the time being) and was sponsored by OINP, however I'm currently on the US west coast, and it would be much easier/cheaper for me to cross into BC. If I do this, should I expect any trouble given that OINP sponsored me, but I'm...

    Crossing into a province other than the one that sponsored me - problems?

    I had applied to EE via Ontario's PNIP program while living in the US. The process took significantly longer than I expected, and I ended up moving to Ontario and working for a job on a NAFTA visa for about a year. During that year, I realized the job wasn't a good fit for me and I ended up...

    Can I get a BOWP while on a closed WP?

    Because my experience hunting for jobs the first time around in Canada indicated that 90% of companies were unwilling to even consider a candidate that needed a NAFTA permit sponsorship - in spite of how easy it is. They were unfamiliar with it and afraid to learn. Also there's a possibility...

    Can I get a BOWP while on a closed WP?

    I'm currently living and working in Canada on a closed (NAFTA) work permit. The permit has about 2 years left. I just got AoR for my PR today, and I'm wondering if I can apply for a BOWP even though I have more than 4 months remaining, as I do not like my current job and would like to get a...

    48th Draw - 786 CRS - 559 ITAs

    What's funny is I was actually coming here to post that I'm surprised they aren't doing this exact thing - if CIC recognizes they are having technical issues, it doesn't make sense to have a normal-sized draw as it will allow unintendedly low-scoring candidates to get in, but a draw with a high...

    OINP/ Ontario PNP sent in Jan 2016, Lets connect Here

    I did not - it went right from Assessment phase to Nomination I've seen a few other people mention this happening, and I have a couple theories on why that happens. I'm already living/working in Ontario, so that's pretty solid proof I intend to reside in Ontario, and also that I have valid...

    OINP/ Ontario PNP sent in Jan 2016, Lets connect Here

    Just got my nomination from OINP! It was silence from when I submitted my additional docs last week, and it just came through a few minutes ago. I'm FSW and living/working in Ontario already (though wasn't here when I originally applied)

    Medical - eye test

    My medical didn't even have an eye test. I imagine if I was outright blind there would have been an issue, but I can't see them caring as long as you have a functional level of vision.

    LMIA EXPEMT work permit , will this get me arranged employment 50 points?

    Similar-yet-different question: I'm currently working in on a LMIA-exempt arranged work permit (NAFTA). I'm looking to get a new job soon - would changing employers (giving me new arranged employment) even though I am currently working qualify me here?

    Does a high school diploma count toward "Two or more certificates, diplomas..."?

    Hi all, I'm wondering if I mis-interpreted the Express entry guidelines. I'm from the US, so ECAs typically consider US schooling equal to Canadian. I have a standard US High School Diploma, and also a Bachelor's (4-year) degree from a university. When I filled out my EE profile, I indicated...

    Taxes

    Why not just file them now and be done? You need to do it anyway, and that way there is no question.

    COPR Little mistake

    I personally wouldn't bother - I think you are going to create far more confusion and trouble by trying to resolve it, and I don't see what trouble it would cause.

    I need help figuring out if my brother can be my dependent in Express Entry

    Given you're his legal guardian, I would expect it be handled the same way as if he was your child

    When can I apply for BOWP / is AOR from OINP enough?

    That link was in my original post - it did not answer my question.
