    PR card may not be renewed in time...

    It's really not. Yes. As a Permanent Resident, you have the right to enter Canada. As such, at the land border, you are welcome to do so. As an airline, they are not permitted to bring people to Canada without proper documentation, as they may be rejected and sent back. More importantly...

    Crossing Border with Ex PR Card, can I use US Passport?

    That's simply not true. I have crossed in the past without having anything scanned at all. They took my documents, looked at them, handed them back, and waved me on. It was at a land crossing border. It doesn't. They can search to find it if they want, and when they scan, it will alert if...

    Crossing Border with Ex PR Card, can I use US Passport?

    They can find all visas and permits linked to that passport number, and do a search by name. If you're a US citizen, you won't have a visa. You might have work permits or study permits. They can look at the notes, which will be there if you landed using that passport. If you have replaced...

    400 is the new 450! Good news!

    Why does the country need to grow? Canada was fine with a lower population, and automation is destroying jobs. 20% of the labour force is involved in transportation, and there are about 20 years (if that) before those jobs are largely gone. Population decline is a good thing.

    "Ray of hope" thread for 41st draw.

    You have to know how to write the LMIA application properly. We had 70-some-odd applicants. I helped write the LMIA, and it came back perfectly fine.

    From a tax standpoint, it does.

    "Ray of hope" thread for 41st draw.

    The best way to arrive at the conclusion that international students are poor choices for an immigration program is to actually meet some international students. Canada can do better than most of them.

    "Ray of hope" thread for 41st draw.

    The document is correct - you may be eligible. They want to avoid people who are eligible not being aware of the possibility. The document even mentions the points system, that it can help you qualify for Permanent Status. Let me show you another document...

    You would be wrong. You just need a bigger down payment.

    Going to Canada with PR TD

    The PR travel document is designed specifically to travel with. It shows that you meet the residency obligation (even better than the PR card), and is presumptive proof of Permanent Resident status. The officers in question are perfectly fine with them, and the airlines should be, too. It's...

    36th Draw Forecast - Any Guesses?

    It will not be that low.

    34TH DRAW - 484 POINTS, 763 ITAs. Could this be a declining trend in ITAs?

    A few people said that, like bestofluck. Many of us pointed out that the new shift towards refugees and family class would raise scores for FSW. It did. The priorities have not changed since, so there is no reason to expect significant declines (sub 450) in the immediate future.

    Canada's government has trouble detecting citizenship fraud: watchdog

    First, they aren't totalitarian regimes. You are free to leave the country, and there is no required documentation to do so. You can get in a boat and head out, and nobody will stop you. Second, it's not an easy problem. There are lots of ways to enter and exit the country, and a good amount...

    Canada's government has trouble detecting citizenship fraud: watchdog

    Nor is there proof they haven't, hence they should not be permitted to come. With Express Entry (for example), it falls on the applicant to prove they don't have a criminal history, and to demonstrate that they meet the economic and other requirements. Canada doesn't have to prove you can't come.

    Express Entry 34th Draw Forecast

    Trump has been acting since the 80s, and is now the republican nominee, polling within a few points of Hillary. For a man of "no action", he has a net worth of billions, and many, many successful businesses. How about yourself?

    LMIA by province requirements question

    LMIAs are federal, but some provincial nominee programs permit people with job offers to get a PNP nomination. They write letters that support work permits. See http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPNOMINEES.html for an example

    Move to Canada

    Realistically, you won't be able to get a work permit as a visitor. It's possible, but most people fail at it. If your spouse or common-law partner is a student, you can likely get an Open (any employer) Work Permit. Getting a job with one of those is fairly easy.

    horrible system express entry

    The system isn't horrible - it works surprisingly well, given it's design. Canada doesn't want open borders, or for everyone who wants to come to come. Express Entry is a way to help sort out qualified applicants from non-qualified, and it works reasonably well to do so.
