My Current Status in myCIC account:

Where is this application? Details
Application/profile status Closed

A background check is needed Complete
Final decision This application has been approved

I have few dilemma which I want to put through in the forum for your kind suggestions:

1. I am an accountant holding CPA (Canada), ACCA (UK), MCSI (CISI UK), DipIFR (UK), Msc. Accounting ( UK) and CFA Level 2. I got nominated by Nova Scotia and I am planning to land after I complete my CFA in June, 2016. What are the job prospects holding the above designations in Nova Scotia? I do not have Canadian Experience, however I have over 5 years of foreign work experience in investment banking.

2. I recently started an investment and management consulting company with decent capital. I am planning to open the same in Canada. Will I be able to do that with PR? If so what are the procedures? If not, I will look out for jobs.

3. I am a single applicant with EE. What is the best time to get married? If I marry after 6 months (which is after my landing) how difficult will it be for my spouse to get a visa? Will she be given PR too?

4. I am planning to land at the end of June, 2016. After I collect my PR Card (in about 3 months time), I plan to come back to my home country and then decide to go later may be after 3 years. Will that be ok? Later when I go, do I have to land in Nova Scotia or can I land anywhere I like?

Please kindly advise.

1. Don't know

2. Yes.

3. Best would be if you got married in between receiving COPR and landing. My understanding is that your spouse will immediately receive PR as well as long as it's a genuine marriage, you notify CIC about it and you do it before landing. You have to be careful though. If you get married before landing and don't notify CIC, you will never be able to sponsor your spouse again. Run a search on the form - there is heaps of information on this.

4. You can leave Canada after getting your PR card, and you can re-enter through any point of entry. However, keep in mind that in order to keep your PR status, you must spend at least 2 years of the 5 years following your landing physically present in Canada.

If you return after 3 years, you will still be able to fulfill this requirement, but barely and you will have hardly any flexibility left (e.g. if you need to travel overseas for emergency reasons, etc.)
