I have already entered Canada as a visitor 10 days ago, are there any issues with driving a rental car to the US, spending the day there and then returning to Canada to activate my work permit? Most articles recommend to ask to be declined entry to the US, but I would prefer to avoid that...

Could someone please clarify whether days spent in Canada having entered with an eTA as a visitor count as half day for calculation of physical presence in Canada? The CanadaVisa calculator ( https://www.canadavisa.com/canadian-citizenship-eligibility-calculator.html ) doesn't include days spent...

Hello @legalfalcon , for common-law sponsorship applications, is it considered a break of cohabitation if for a few times throughout the year we've spent up to 21 days in a row apart from each other? Also, to calculate this, do dates that we spent partially together (date of departure) count as...

For common-law applications, is it considered a break of cohabitation if for a few times throughout the year we've spent up to 21 days in a row apart from each other? Also, to calculate this, do dates that we spent partially together (date of departure) count as together or apart?

Hello, I have been living with my Canadian partner in Canada for almost a year (2 months in a serviced apartment building with a confirmation letter from management, 10 months with a lease agreement in both our names). I have been entering Canada as a temporary resident (eTA). Before that we...

Thank you for the reply. How do I know if my nomination is valid? Can I assume that it's not expired if it shows as active in my Express Entry profile?

Thank you! So if my nomination expires on Dec 29, I should file until the end of day Dec 28? And is that ET or UTC?

Hi @legalfalcon I have received an ITA to apply as a PNP, but I’m not sure what is the deadline to submit my application. My ITA expires in 2 months but my nomination certificate is only valid until the end of the year and states that I have to apply before the date it expires. Do I have to...

Hi @legalfalcon, in case you missed my question, could you please guide me with the following: I used to work for a company that got acquired by a listed US company, where I continued to work at for a few months after the acquisition. The successor company has agreed to only add a very short...

Hi @legalfalcon, I used to work for a company that got acquired by a NASDAQ listed US company, where I continued to work at for a few months after the acquisition. The successor company has agreed to only add a very short description of duties in my experience letter (only 2 out of 8 NOC duties...

Thank you for the answers @legalfalcon . Is there a rough rule to know if a trip should be entered to Address history or only to Travel history? From your answer I understand I can have 2 overlapping addresses in the Address history? The link you added to (3) about medicals seems broken, do...

Hi @legalfalcon 1) If I have resided in Canada or another country for a significant amount of time (~3 months at a time) in hotels/AirBnBs as a tourist with an eTA/visa free without working or studying or some other specific activity, do I need to include in it my Address History in my PR...

Would it be so hard to apply for OINP/PR without first moving to Canada because of the time spent in Quebec as a visitor? I don't reside or work in Canada, I had only entered as a visitor. My permanent residence and job is in a foreign country. The time I have spent in Quebec is all in visitor...

Thank you for the extensive reply. In my case however, I have no ties to Ontario so what worries me is that the time I have spent in Quebec would lead the agent to believe that I do not intend to reside in Ontario. Do you think that by mentioning my lack of French knowledge and bigger job market...

Hi @legalfalcon , how possible is it for an OINP application to be refused for having spent considerable time in QC during the last 3 years as a tourist (2-5 months/year), since there is a field to declare it on my application ? What about an Express Entry application getting refused for the...

This is not accurate, you would need to have spent 1 year in Canada as a TR plus 2,5 years as a PR (or 2 years as TR + 2 years as PR): each day you were physically present in Canada as an authorized temporary resident or protected person before you became a permanent resident counts as half a...

Hi again @legalfalcon , sorry I had missed your past answer. To clarify: 1. I'm not sure I understood, would it be misrepresentation or not if I didn't declare my (possible) common-law partner in an application to OINP or EE? I'm not even sure if we qualify and we haven't done the statutory...

Thank you for the response. What happens however if I can't collect all the documents? Are they as strict as Express Entry or more lenient? Is there a possibility it will be approved or not at all?

Hello everyone! When applying for OINP HCP, do I need to submit work references and proof of payment for all my work experience for the previous 10 years, even for work experience that I do not claim points for? What about self-employed work I'm also not claiming points for? Will my application...

So the virus is not already in Canada? International travellers are required to test negative 3 times and quarantine for 14 days, what do you think is the probability for transmitting the virus with such restrictions? At the same time, there are plenty of asymptomatic carriers in Canada who...
