    Extending my visitor visa

    I am assuming the work permit was rejected because of your fiance's freelance job, though that's just a gues. Yeah, if he gets permanent it might be a good time to reapply. Since you are a UK citizen, are you actually applying for a visa? Normally you don't need one. Are we talkinga about...

    Extending my visitor visa

    Hi Katie, You should be able to extend your visit till 2016, though it may involve you leaving and re-entering Canada. However, it's also possible that you might be eligible for an open work permit from now until your fiance's woroking holiday visa expires, depending on what he does for work...

    inland application for spouse at the border

    Hi Dion, Not exactly...you have vistor status when you enter the country as a non-Canadian. And how long that visitor status lasts depends on the stamp in your passport placed there by a CBSA officer. So your visitor status lasts until it expires, or you leave, or you change your status, such as...

    inland application for spouse at the border

    Hi Dion, 1. If you apply for inland sponsorship and do not apply for a work or study permit, you have visitor status until that status expires. Once your status expires, you have no status in Canada, but you cannot be deported specifically for that reason. You then have 90 days to restor your...

    visit visa to canada application

    The only way to know for sure is to use that link. I tried but I don't know all your details so it told me "yes" to an online application, but I was guessing as to most of your personal information. If you use that link, it will generate a code that lets you apply on line if you are allowed to.

    LMIA no longer applicable ?

    Hi Raul, Yes, these rules only apply to the Temporary Foreign Workers program, they do not affect either the FSW or the Federal Skilled Trades program. As for the median wage - unfortunately what ESDC says is the median wage and what the actual median wage is are very, very, very different...

    LMIA no longer applicable ?

    Hi Raul, That information is correct, but it applies to "low wage" jobs (which implies low skill). I seem to remember you have education and this may not apply to you. Also, if you are applying as a skilled worker, it doesn't affect you because it is only for TFWs. Hope this helps. Riley

    Hi there, I think you do have to work in Saskatchewan first but I will double check. (Usually a PNP requires some kind of "tie" to a province, in this case work.) Riley

    TFW eligibility

    Work permit requirements hinge primarily around the job offer and what a Canadian would need to do that job (according to ESDC). See http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/ProfileQuickSearch.aspx?val=6&val1=6322 "Employment requirements Completion of secondary school is usually...

    inland application for spouse at the border

    You should probably wait until they are requested. Unfortunately with the long processing times, it's entirely possible your clearances will have expired by the time they request them, I'm sorry to say.
