    Applying for an open work permit at the border

    If you have a valid work permit, you can work. I think you might have implied status if it expires while you are waiting for your PR to be approved, but I have to check with our consultants.

    Applying for an open work permit at the border

    Hi Katie, The IEC is the open work permit. Depending on which country you are from, you may be eligible for a second one, though.

    Applying for an open work permit at the border

    Hi Katie, How do you qualify for the open work permit? I believe you cannot apply at the border, but it does depend on the type of permit.

    Immigrating from Cuba

    Hi again, Yes, in most cases one needs a job offer for a work permit. There are very few exceptions, including International Experience Canada, which is not normally open to Cuban citizens. It's not that people are prevented from looking for work while in Canada, but they are prevented from...

    Multiple entry visa

    There could very well be. It depends on the officer, frankly. He needs to bring along enough proof that he's not staying: return ticket and proof of a need to return to Mexico (lease, deed, employment contract, things like that).

    Immigrating from Cuba

    Hi there, Let me try to answer your questions. No, one does not need a job offer, but a job offer is worth 600 points, so it is a huge boost and, provided someone met all requirements, pretty much leads to a an Invitation to Apply (ITA). The minimum score for the latest draw was 534 points, so...

    Document Checklist- Mothers passport

    Hi there, If your mother doesn't currently have a valid passport, the best thing to do is have her renew her passport, then you'll be all set. If your mother is deceased, then you likely do not have a copy of her passport. In this case, you'll just have to use her birth certificate plus your...

    Hi there, If you are leaving Canada permanently (i.e. not traveling to and from Canada) you will need to adjust any information in your profile that says you are currently in Canada. I myself have never submitted one, so I am not sure if this is something that can be edited after submission. If...

    Mitacs 2016

    Hi, My understanding is that, if you are approved for the work permit, you will be granted the visa at the same time (otherwise you wouldn't be able to come here for work). Does that answer your question?

    What risks are there in completing the IMM 5604 E

    Hi there, I think this is a question for a UK lawyer, sorry. But if you want me to guess: I can't imagine a Canadian immigration document being admissible in a UK court as proof that you agreed to annul your previous agreement. But seriously: ask a lawyer.

    inland application for spouse at the border

    Hi Dion? Unfortunately, because we're based in Toronto, we're not allowed to help with Quebec immigration applications. Because of that there's a hole in our knowledge. I don't know if you had to pledge that you would stay in Quebec as part of the application. Canada has freedom of movement, so...
