    No renewed PR Card yet, but can I return with a British Passport as a Visitor

    It doesn't matter what city. You just want to pick one close to you. It cannot be bus, or train, or ferry. (Or plane of course, unless it's private.) It has to be by car. This is because your PR Card is intended for commercial travel. If you want to re-enter Canada without it, you have to come...

    No renewed PR Card yet, but can I return with a British Passport as a Visitor

    The other other alternative is to fly to the US when you return, instead of Canada, and travel to Canada by car. There you can use your COPR to enter.

    No renewed PR Card yet, but can I return with a British Passport as a Visitor

    You need the same information you needed to complete the PR Card application. The PRTD is granted to those who have PR Status. The only reason it wouldn't be granted is if you didn't meet the residence requirement or somehow otherwise didn't qualify.

    How to get job offer with open work permit

    You're welcome. I'm in Ontario not BC, so I don't know for sure. But Ontario has free programs to help people with resumes and the like. Not sure if the same exists for BC, but I would assume so. There may be a status requirement, not sure about that either. Good luck.

    No renewed PR Card yet, but can I return with a British Passport as a Visitor

    No, you will need to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document in London. The processing time usually takes 2-3 weeks for the PRTD. This processing delay likely means they are looking at application more closely.

    How to get job offer with open work permit

    Have you tried head hunters? There might be free support services offered by the BC government which can help you find work. We're an immigration consultancy which doesn't handle jobs so unfortunately we don't have the expertise to be of assistance.

    Implied Status

    I believe you can apply for a work permit while you have a PR application pending but I think this is more of a question for an RCIC or lawyer and I regret to say that I am only the forum admin.

    Wife's & Son's PR status expired !

    So... If your son can enter the country through a land border (i.e. from the US) in a private vehicle using his COPR, you don't need to sponsor him. However, there is a risk that, when trying to enter, he'll have his status revoked when he tries to enter. If he can't do that, he'll have to...

    Self employment permanent resident

    Hi, The first question I have is, are you working with someone legally authorized to provide assistance with immigration in Canada? There are a lot of charlatans out there. You want know that the person is an RCIC or a lawyer in Canada. So emigrating as a self-employed person is difficult and...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Once you have your study permit your husband can apply to accompany you on an open work permit. You'll both need visitor visas as well.

    AGE A PROBLEM?

    Are you Canadian? If so, then it is possible. If you're not Canadian, it is borderline impossible for the two of you to immigrate unless you have children or grandchildren in Canada.

    Letter

    The person inviting you has to write the letter and then you submit the letter with your visa application.

    Citizenship

    Hi, Unfortunately he would have needed to get his citizenship before your birth for you to be eligible. Sorry for the bad news.

    Will my LMIA points dismissed after I quit my job?

    Well your Express Entry score should now be irrelevant but presumably the job offer is a part of the assessment for your eligibility through CEC (or FSW or FST). I don't know for sure, as I am just the admin, but I suspect it would indeed affect your eligibility.

    Sponsorship for work permit forthcoming, more what?

    Oh that letter comes once you get approved for a work permit through IRCC. Sounds like you don't need it. I missed that you were American, sorry about that. You are correct. You also don't need to give biometrics. By the way, take everything I say with a grain of salt. The consultant is the...

    Application delivered by hand?

    That's what it sounds like. Sorry but you'll just have to wait a few weeks.

    Will my LMIA points dismissed after I quit my job?

    So you received an ITA and you submitted an application for permanent residence? Have you done an online or phone status check to see where the application is at?
