So, the basics: Provided the CBSA officer allows her the normal entry period, she is allowed to enter for 6 months at a time. She needs to leave before 6 months are up and reenter, otherwise she'll be here illegally. Second, there is apparently a formula for how long Americans can spend in...

Hi there, You may want to add clarification about the situation with your resigned/retired bosses, a letter from you or them explaining the situation may be sufficient. For the other job: you will be providing evidence that your name has changed, correct? If that's so, then there shouldn't be a...

Sorry to say, he needs a divorce. Does Ireland have no-fault divorce? In Canada, he can get a divorce if he's not had contact with his spouse for a given period of time (I think it's a year, but you'd want to check with a lawyer).

I believe you need to be a citizen from one of the participating NAFTA countries, actually. Sorry about the confusion.

I am not 100% sure, but the intra-company transfer program (i.e. "nafta visa") might be an option for you if your company has stores in Canada. But only if you're a manager. If you are a manager, have been for at least a year, and have an education in a related field, you could apply to...

Hi again, Off the top of my head, I don't remember the amount that she's required to show, but here's a page that explains how they evaluate the money issue: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/intake/proof.asp Yes, she can work 20 hours a week and now she can work anywhere...

Hi again, There are two, sort of. First, there's skilled worker, which they would apply under Express Entry for. It's education plus one year work experience. There is an elaborate points system: https://www.immigroup.com/news/express-entrys-comprehensive-rating-system There is also a language...

I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say "married by contract." Is this considered a legal marriage in Egypt or not? Which embassy are you going to? Canada's? Canada does not have one marriage registry. So you'll need to get a Statement in Lieu of Certificate of Non-Impediment to Marriage...

You have permanent residence? Or do you have a visa entitling you to permanent residence? This is a Canadian immigration forum, not an Australian one, so I do not know anything about Australian immigration policies, but I have trouble imagining they would attempt to restrict where you can travel...

Good luck!

You will be issued a document that allows you to travel to Canada on the understanding that you have been granted permanent residence. However, you will not get permanent residence until you land at a Canadian port of entry and an officer admits you and confirms your landing on that document (or...

Hi there, Normally, you should wait until your outland sponsorship application is approved before coming to Canada. But since you already have a visa, you don't have to. The issue is getting into the country itself. You'll have to show the CBSA officer that you intend to leave Canada before your...

Well, it's always at the discretion at the officer, as you point out. If the lawyer I cited is wrong that there's a formula, it's still worth thinking about how many days you spend here. Whether or not there's a formula, the officer will/should be looking at how long you've stayed in Canada...

Hi again, This is brand new: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-canadians-must-careful-how-long-spend-usa-colin-r-?published=t and this is the first time I've heard anything about it, but it's definitely relevant to your situation. I spoke to one of our consultant's in the interim and he says...

Well, you're in a unique situation given that you are an American and don't require a visitor visa. So for you to have a new stamp, you would just exist the country and re-enter, whereas others would have to apply for the extension. I'm not sure you need to apply for the extension because you...

Hi again, You should be able to leave and re-enter without too many problems. You should leave before the stamp expires, though.

Hi, Have you applied for permanent residence? Is that what you mean by your answer?

More than likely. Most occupations require an LMIA.

My understanding is that the invitations to apply have never been sent to any candidates with scores under 450. You can't get a bridging work permit if you haven't applied for PR. However, if you can get a job offer from your current employer, you could conceivably get a new (closed) work permit.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your situation. You can apply for a 'bridging' work permit since you have applied for PR and you are currently working in Canada. You'll have to apply before your IEC work permit expires. You cannot flagpole, as it will be mailed to you. I realize that was your initial...
