Re: Just a few things

Would that opinion not depend on where in Canada and where a person comes from?

Re: Canadian Affair (and other UK-Canada flights)

I always am annoyed that the fares seem to be way cheaper flying towards London than flying to Canada, especially in advance. I must say I have never seen flights from the uk that the cheapest option...

Re: Canadian Affair (and other UK-Canada flights)

Canadian affair flights will get you there in one piece
Air Canada seems more unfriendly than TC/Transat for double (ish) the cost.

Re: Arrival process?

Re: IMM 5409 (common law visa)

Thanks it helps but makes me puzzled as Mississauga they just send our documents back yesterday because this document has not been provided.

It is definitely a possibility to do both. I tried the PNP but my work did not play ball. Saying that I did not have a strong background in the work they do. Also didn't qualify for the skilled...
