    Advantage to Marrying in States or Canada?

    College roommates in college housing are not common law anything anywhere--or at least in the U.S. they aren't.

    He was away at college living in a dormitory. That information was on his application. There were other students in the dormitory.

    Advantage to Marrying in States or Canada?

    No, he was a dependent and did not misrepresent anything. He's under 22 and a college student and completely supported by us. We did not misrepresent anything, and I really object to your tone. She was a college student as well, dependent on her parents who paid for everything. Essentially...

    Advantage to Marrying in States or Canada?

    Hi, folks. My son, an American, just did his soft landing as a PR last month. He will move permanently this summer to Canada and begin graduate school. He and his longterm girlfriend, an American, are now engaged. As for their marriage, they are flexible about getting married in either...

    We're finally finished and headed to Nova Scotia. We will make our soft landing ASAP at 3rd Bridge, St. Stephen, NB. Here's a detailed timeline of our funky journey. The numbered items are IRCC's notations in our online account. I filled in the interim steps. Our stream was Self-Employed...

    Self-Employed Application 2018

    Our attorneys asked us to do both to be submitted with our application, so we did. We wanted all the points we could get.

    Self-Employed Application 2018

    Hmmm...we are in the self-employed stream and IELTS was required for both my husband and me as were credential assessments. We used ICAS. My understanding is that all applicants must demonstrate language proficiency no matter the stream. I imagine an education credential assessment is...

    Does this sound right? Adult asking adult children for info...

    Well, I'm just trying to be helpful. The post said that the husband said they also wanted it for the 26-year-old as well as the 18-year-old. My husband had to submit Canadian-style passport photos of both his adult daughters, aged 23 and 25, copies of their U.S. passports, and for the...

    Does this sound right? Adult asking adult children for info...

    Yes. I'm positive. I don't know why people are so skeptical--I'm highly educated and know what my words mean. After all, that's the purpose of this thread. Somebody else had been asked. Geez.

    Self-Employed Application 2018

    Very good. I disagree to some degree based on our experience and inquiries from IRCC, but whatever. They made their requirements quite clear; I am sure they will do the same for the individual above.

    Self-Employed Application 2018

    Yes, we're farm stream, but we did not have to provide any proof of profit; only resources to live on at the beginning of the application process. We were not subject to the two-year requirement that we be self-employed; that does not apply to farmers. Ours was purely based on demonstrated...

    Self-Employed Application 2018

    Hmmm.....I don't think this is accurate. We were just approved through the Self-Employed stream and the reason they have the two years' relevant experience is precisely so they can assess whether or not you can support yourself and your dependents. If they don't think you can, your chances of...

    Crossing US to Canada for Landing on my Own Car

    That's not really true. Yes, it's a pain to do, but it's the U.S. side that exports. Canada doesn't care as long as the car meets Canadian specifications. There is a lot of documentation on this site about exporting to make the process easier. It's just a matter of being methodical and...

    Registered Nurse with Bachelors degree in US planning to move and work in Canada

    About six months for ICAS to assess credentials, and you need that for a complete application. Recommend you submit your stuff to ICAS now; otherwise, you'll be looking at a very long time before you have all your documents, language tests, etc., lined up before you even submit a completed...

    No, they always attached the requests from IRCC. It came from them.

    If your BSN is from a decent and reputable college or university, you should not have any trouble. The process of getting your credentials assessed takes a loooong time, so be prepared.
