    Discrimination based on ?

    Hi, I just discovered something while being a newcomer in Canada. So apparently, I can't apply for some jobs (that I am qualified for) because PR "can't hold some jobs that need a high-level security clearance". So it means that a Canadian citizen is reputed to be "cleaner" and more...

    How is it possible to work on an unknown file ?

    Hi, I’m wondering. I didn’t get my AOR yet, but I know -through my MP- that IRCC is working on the eligibility of the sponsor and on the criminality. I’m confused...how can you work as an agent on a file that you don’t know if it’s complete or not. So either it’s complete, then why don’t you...

    Application returned : a new directive ?

    Hi, I heart here and there (and in many groups) that apparently now (since 2021) they won’t return files, if they need something, they will ask you for. However, I couldn’t find any source supporting this claim, especially that some people are still facing this problem Do you have any idea...
