    Citizenship Test

    Maybe they were having the same technical difficulties. Have you checked your status online? Does the test email say anything about why you have to retake it?

    What is the average cost involved when opting for the BC PNP category?

    It probably is. In our experience, with general immigration lawyers (who do not specialize in business immigration) you do not want the cheapest lawyer (as you get what you pay for) but you also don't want the most expensive lawyer (as you're paying for the name brand). If you can find someone...

    Canda Visit Visa

    Do you have pay stubs from the company? Because if you don't have a contract, and your company won't write you a letter saying you're employed, you can show some pay stubs. For example you could take one from last week, one from six months ago, and one from a year ago and basically show that the...

    What is the average cost involved when opting for the BC PNP category?

    There might be a professional business consultants organization in Canada (or in each province) where you could find more information, though I don't know. You could also try a small business or entrepreneurship forum to see if anyone has a good idea of what it should cost for your size...

    Canda Visit Visa

    So, if you can get a letter from your relatives saying they will pay for your trip (and showing how) this should be enough to get them to accept a lower amount of money. In the letter they send you they should mention you will be staying with them (so no hotels) and that they will be providing...

    Bringing gifted furniture into Canada

    So, your grandmother needs to provide a card or note including that each item is a gift. That will exempt you from only $60 per item. (You should make sure to have her contact information with you, too.) See more here: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/courier/menu-eng.html If your...

    If you know what office it is being reviewed by, I believe you can submit that instead.

    What is the average cost involved when opting for the BC PNP category?

    Hi, Let me try to answer your questions: It really depends on a lawyer but here is one example: https://www.matkowsky.ca/immigration-lawyer-fees CAD$30,000 for just the legal fees. It's possible someone in BC might charge less - especially if they are not based in the Greater Vancouver Area -...

    ITA Question for CEC draw 5/31/21

    I'm just guessing. I have no idea. It's Ontario, remember, not IRCC. My guess is that it could be that way, which might explain why you didn't get an invitation. Another reason could be that there were just better candidates ahead of you. I don't really know. I'm not expert on the OINP so all I...

    US asylum case referred to court, can i head to Canadian boarders to seek asylum

    You can try. One of two things will happen: you will be turned away due to the "safe third country agreement" (meaning you are already in a safe country other than Canada) you will be allowed to file an asylum claim. There was a period when a lot of people were allowed to file asylum claims...

    Unable to finish 2 years during the allotted 5years due to covid?

    So get back as soon as you can and then wait as long as you can before renewing your PR Card. Make sure you have documentation about why you were stuck overseas during the pandemic (proof of travel restrictions, for example).

    Unable to finish 2 years during the allotted 5years due to covid?

    Your status doesn't expire in January 2023, only your PR Card. As long as you return to Canada before January 2023, you will not lose your status. (Do you mean January 2022? Because if you return in December of this year, you'll have a year in Canada between then and January 2023.) You have two...
