Re: Help! Moving to Canada from Japan - Marriage visa

Hi there and welcome to the forum.

It sounds like you are an ideal candidate for spousal sponsorship, which would then allow you to work, as a permanent resident of Canada. Did you read the wiki...

Re: Quebec and on

Re: Quebec and on

Have you had a look at the official Quebec immigration website? Sure you don't need a job to 'get in', however there are other criteria, such as education, age, language ability. Have a look at this:...

Re: Any crime scene examiners on the boards?

What, do you mean you don't spend your days looking glamourous in soft focus, playing with the latest techie gadgets, with a Who soundtrack in the background???

Re: Heartbroken Man Looking For A New Life

Not now, no, but you may possibly qualify in January when the new rules quick in (and announced before that). See link from Siphorous, post #8 in this thread.

Re: Heartbroken Man Looking For A New Life

I find it hard to believe that you would score 0 points for English, you seem pretty fluent to me!

You would need to take the IELTS test, the official way to demonstrate your level of English...

Re: Disaster!!!

Sorry to hear that, must be horrid to receive such a letter at this point.

Re: A (not so small) change of plan!

Yep, we did sign the paper, and in good faith. As you say, them using that against us is the worry.

I wouldn't call the CSQ route special treatment though! Unless special means paying more fees,...

Re: London Processing time for a CSQ Holders

We got PR 4 months after our medicals, but there was a pause in our timeline (our doing, not CIC's) so hopefully you're nearly there too!

We went to Montreal last week to activate the visas and...

Hey KetanP

I am by no means an immigration expert, but it seems that you have missed looking into the IEC, which would probably be the best solution for you. Have a read of this:...
