Hey guys! I live in Belgium and I had a job in The Netherlands for about a year. I would drive there from Belgium every day. For PCC, it says that I only need one if I stayed in a country for 6 or more months in a row. Do I need to get a PCC for The Netherlands?

Hey guys, bit of an unusual situation and I'm not sure how to go about this... One of my work experiences is a 4 month paid internship. In Belgium there is something called IBO created to stimulate the hiring of young people without experience and basically it works like this: The Belgian...

I spent a year in Canada on a Working Holiday Visa (2015-2016) and worked as a self-employment web developer sometimes in that year. Because I only earned $5000 in 2015 and $2500 in 2016 I never filed any taxes as it's lower than the taxable amount. Could it be an issue that I never filed as I...

Hey guys, I just got my ITA today and I'm filling out all the information and I just got to the question: "Have you been previously married or in a common-law relationship?" The thing is, I have been traveling mostly for the last 4 years and when I'm in my home country for a bit, I stay with...

When I fill out the Work Experience part in my profile, you can only enter months and not dates. When I pick the right months everywhere, I get points for having worked 3 years, while in reality I'm 18 weeks short. For example, I've worked for company A from October 17 2012 until october 16...

Hey guys, I have been in the pool since last December with 405 points and I just logged in to add my self-employed work that I'm currently doing. So I added that I started in February as a web developer and it is my current job and I checked the self employed option. After doing so I got a...

Hey guys, Since I only have 405 points at the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to increase this amount. In order to do this I'm currently looking at the points you get for work experience. The system only asks for years but does that mean months simply don't count? Let's say you have worked...
