    Tested positive for COVID

    Hi, I am helping out a friend who is an international student. She tested positive for COVID in the past 3 days alongside her family. They were already in quarantine because her dad tested positive first on Aug 21 so she would technically finish her original quarantine period on Sept 3. She is...

    Quarantine Plan for international students traveling together

    Hi! I'm currently helping a few friends who will be arriving to Canada soon for their undergraduate studies. They are all traveling together and are fully vaccinated (Pfizer/AZ) for 14+ days as of August 22, which is their tentative arrival date. I know that fully vaccinated travelers likely...

    Landing Experience - 17th Jan 2019 - Flagpoling - Lewiston Bridge - Took just 20 mins to become a PR

    Went to Rainbow Bridge today, I arrived at 7 am and there was already 10-15 people ahead of me, one group was sleeping inside the US-Canada border since 1 am. There were many of us in the lineup at the end. The officers were very rude, condescending, and inconsiderate. They told us after we...

    Landing at Rainbow Bridge - Peak Hours/Days

    I just received my COPR in the mail today (yeay!) and I'm planning a trip to Niagara Falls either tonight or tomorrow morning. It's very likely that I'm going to have to go tonight because Greyhound early morning ticket is sold out. I plan to do my official landing tomorrow morning at the...

    Landing Experience - 17th Jan 2019 - Flagpoling - Lewiston Bridge - Took just 20 mins to become a PR

    If you don't have a car then your option is Rainbow bridge by walking. I've done it before to get my PGWP and it was surprisingly quick. Not sure how it works for COPR. I just got my document literally just now and I'm thinking of going straight to Niagara Falls tonight lol (from Toronto here)...

    CEC - December 2018 AOR

    I'm slated to receive my COPR today along with my passport. I'm contemplating to wait until next week to flagpole because tomorrow is 4th of July and I'd imagine borders will be very busy. Smart idea? Or should I just go tomorrow?

    Landing Experience - 17th Jan 2019 - Flagpoling - Lewiston Bridge - Took just 20 mins to become a PR

    Quick question, do I need to have a valid Canadian visa to flagpole? Mine expired on the same day as my PGWP (May 30, 2019) and I have only applied to renew my BOWP, not the visa so my status is implied right now (but I have sent my passport to Ottawa). I have a valid US visa but my Canadian...

    CEC - December 2018 AOR

    I wouldn't say that they can directly influence but they will indirectly force IRCC to speed up your process. When I contacted my MP office (Spadina-Fort York) for help, they called IRCC in less than 2 hours time and basically provided information to me akin to applying for GCMS notes, on the...

    CEC - December 2018 AOR

    So, apparently what I did was I contacted my MP by email earlier today and explained my situation (as I hit 6 month mark yesterday). MP's assistant sent me an email back real quick and asked me to sign a consent form. It's not even end of the day and she has already gotten back at me with...

    CEC - December 2018 AOR

    I called them just now and it's my second time calling them (last time was late April). They're still saying that they're working on my application and have no updates to tell me at all. I submitted my GCMS note request earlier this month but haven't received anything yet. I passed my meds on...

    CEC - December 2018 AOR

    My AOR for CEC-inland was Nov 30th. I passed my medicals on Jan 11th, on the same day, they requested for my RCMP check which I submitted about a week later. I haven't had any updates since because 'they are reviewing the additional document that you provided'. Should I call or order GCMS notes...

    CEC - Contract based work irrelevant to degree in Canada?

    Hey everyone, I am currently on PGWP and mine expires on June 2019. I recently finished a 4 months full time internship at a post secondary institution. Although my job is styled as internship, my job responsibilities are really just as similar to entry-level role people in this field (which is...
