    Workaround for Guarantor and references for Canadian Passport

    I was trying to make the argument that asking for a guarantor (shouldn't even be a requirement after you've been granted citizenship but for the sake of argument) it should only apply to edge cases where say an applicant was issued a RFE or whatever in their citizenship application. For regular...

    Workaround for Guarantor and references for Canadian Passport

    I'm lucky that I have a relative who's agreed to be my guarantor. I don't know how I would've been able to convince a mere friend who I've known for say 2 or 3 years to share their passport details and be ok to be called by immigration. Who would be comfortable doing that? Immigration is...

I had two job offers simultaneously and came 1 round within having a third offer around late 2022. Now I'm getting ghosted after interviews. The competition...

    Moving to Canada without a Job Offer (as a Citizen): Thoughts on the Matter

    My point is that IT companies here dont favour PRs/citizens over work permit holders and that's not how its in other countries. In the US if you have a GC, you have a clear advantage over H1B holders specially for companies like Wells Fargo who hire GCs and citizens for fulltime jobs. Secondly...

    Moving to Canada without a Job Offer (as a Citizen): Thoughts on the Matter

    For IT, there is no job market in Canada. Its more like a club. Those who got lucky (for whatever reason) are hanging on to their jobs. Those who dont have a job are shooting arrows in the dark and hoping one lands. Canada is the only country where getting a PR or citizenship means absolutely...

    Hi. I haven't received the citizenship ceremony email which as per the tracker I should've received since I've got the ceremony date. Does the email take a long time to arrive? Should I contact them about it or keep waiting? Has anyone experienced this too?
