    Ray of Hope 66th Draw

    Your earning statements may be useful for proving that the money you have was not a gift (if that is important), but it does not prove that you have money in hand/saved. I think this might be a problem for you since money earned can easily be spent on things like supporting family members (or...

    PCC from Philippines while in the US

    I am a US citizen living in the US. I will need a PCC from the Philippines and am attempting to do this. The instructions on the CIC website say: "If you live outside of The Philippines: You should apply in person at your nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate or by mail to the National...

    Ray of Hope 66th Draw

    Our attorney said that "the clock keeps ticking" between receiving the ITA and the submission of the application, meaning that one can lose eligibility, etc. in that time. Once the application is submitted everything is frozen. So, if this is the case, you should be ready to submit everything...

    Spending more than 6 months a year in Canada as a visitor

    We are US citizens and want to be in Canada most of the year. I know that we can get visitor visas for up to 6 months, but is that 6 months continuous or 6 months out of a calendar year? If it is 6 months continuous, how long would we have to spend back in the US before entering Canada again...

    Thank you pessacanada! I am not claiming Canadian work experience, so that should not be a problem.

    Ray of hope 65th draw

    I have now read conflicting information about this and am concerned. I am identified as a dependent and can not get letters for my work, so have simply listed it in personal history and left it off of work history. But we have not received an ITA yet, so have not read the actual request for this...

    Frequent entries and exits

    We now live near the Canadian border. If we are successful in getting our PR, we may want to transition slowly after we land. That might mean renting a place in Canada to get our "stake in the ground" and commuting for awhile. If one enters Canada a few times a week, does each entry count as a...

    How much information?

    But that is in travel history, correct? Or is it also in personal history?

    How much information?

    I have a number of questions which, I assume may have been answered elsewhere, but I am having a hard time searching for them. So, first let me apologize if I am being repetitive and, second, thanks for any help you can give me. So, after receiving an ITA: How much history must I provide for...

    OINP vs. EE required documents

    Thank you, heena303. I do have the guide and have read it. I was wondering if anyone who has gone through Federal EE and OINP HCP streams had compared the requirements for each and found distinct differences. Thank you again.

    OINP vs. EE required documents

    Could someone please summarize for me what information/documents are needed for the OINP HCP stream application that would be in addition to, or a different form of, the documents required to respond to a federal EE ITA (other than ties to Ontario)? I apologize if this has been listed elsewhere...

    Seeking job offer: LMAI vs NAFTA

    My husband and I are preparing our materials to enter the EE pool as FSW, but believe we will need an active job offer in order to be competitive for an ITA. We are US citizens trying to get permanent residency and my husband is in a profession that falls under NAFTA. Could someone explain to...
