Yes. You can work in Canada even if your spouse decides to leave Canada. Work permits are valid until the day they expire. You can continue working regardless of where your spouse is, however, you would not be able to get an extension of your work permit unless your spouse gets one. Otherwise you become eligible for your own status in Canada. There are very less chances that it could be questioned on next application why your spouse left and you stayed behind.
-
If you have received a procedural fairness letter that means IRCC has already started processing of your application. Most likely they doubt on information given by you and may be ready to refuse your application. At this point, withdrawal of application creates more doubt. It is not recommended to take your application back. They will refuse it on the basis of lack of providing sufficient documentation.
-
No. You do not need to pay for your dependent child. You have to include him in your application as non-accompanying because he is a Canadian citizen. He can not be accompanying in your PR application. Once you correct your dependent option, that fee of $225 will eliminate automatically.

In this scenario, international students who have their study permit approved for May and June 2020 intake will not be affected for their PGWP eligibility. Their studies won’t be affected. It is allowed that they can start their studies online and they can compete up to 50% of their studies online outside Canada if they are not able to travel sooner due to covid-19 affects.

There would be a problem with her expiring passport and she may be denied to get entry into Canada at the port of entry. The problem is her expiring passport. She may be denied entry into Canada at a POE or may be given a very short allowed stay and she has to leave Canada before the expiry of her passport.
You should get her passport renewed before travelling to Canada. She can use her current passport for purpose of temporary residence visa because It will be still valid in November 2020. A valid visa inside an expired document is considered valid. Make sure she has both the old passport with valid TRV on it and the new passport while travelling to Canada.

You have received Canadian equivalency of a college-level certificate (1 Year) and completion go two college-level certificates (one semester). It seems your second credential is incomplete and it is just classified as 1 semester program. You will select one-year program at a university, college from the drop down options.

It is not possible. Your friend is absolutely correct. Only your spouse can be your co-signer. Thats means you and your spouse can count your income together towards MNI. You can not add your siblings or any other person’s income to sponsor your parents.

Hello Baljit
You can stay in Canada till the date you have work permit issued or you have not issued a removal order. Your husband has open work permit, he can continue working in Canada as long as he has work permit valid. If you both qualify for Canadian Experience Class in terms of Canadian Employment, language proficiency, Education, and age, you can apply for EE-CEC in Canada. Once you get ITA and submitted online application, you can extend and/or change the conditions of work permit. You will become eligible to apply for bridge work permit as your application of permanent residency is in process.

Yes. He has to declare his dual intent because he has made express entry profile. When he is applying for study permit, his profile is already there. Visas for UK and USA will definitely prove his credibility and also count for travel history.

Hello Raman
Your friend can apply for husband and kids when she will get approval for her study permit application. She needs to get enrolled to her Canadian designated learning institution. I would say after completion of her first semester of study, she can invite her husband on spousal open work permit under international mobility program. Their kids can also get visitor visa or study permit to Canada as they are totally dependent on her and her husband.

There is extension to restore the temporary status from 90 days to till December 31, 2020. During the COVID-19 pandemic, temporary residents who remained in Canada have been encouraged to renew their work or study permits to maintain their legal status in Canada.
As per IRCC
‘Former workers, students and visitors whose status expired after January 30, 2020, and who remained in Canada will now have until December 31, 2020, to apply to restore their status, provided they meet the requirements for the type of status and authorization they are applying to restore.’
The public policy also allows former work-permit holders applying for an employer-specific work permit to work while a decision on their restoration application is pending.
In your case, you can also work.

He can apply for extension of his stay in Canada as a visitor instead of worker. He can only apply for extension of work permit if he has a positive LMIA, CAQ if he wants to work in Quebec, he has applied for his any permanent application, he is eligible for applying work permit under international mobility. Another way out is only if he comes under an LMIA exempted candidate which is in case of Intra-company transfers or NAFTA.
Therefore, if he is being delayed in getting a job offer then applying for visitor record is advisable.

As per the public Policy released by IRCC, international students who have approved study permit applications outside Canada, and those who are going though online study programs, can count this time towards the PGWP eligible time period after the completion of their study. This will benefit the international students and save them from wasting their time while they are in their country of residence.

Hello Satwinder
The answer depends on the fact that are you getting any CRS score benefit from your spouse’s foreign education? If no, then you can skip ECA for him. If yes, ECA for his education is must. Below you can see when an ECA is required:
– If you completed your education outside Canada, you need an educational assessment to:
be eligible as the principal applicant for Federal Skilled Workers Program (Express Entry), or
earn points for education you got outside Canada
– You can also earn points for your spouse or common-law partner’s education, if they are coming with you to Canada.
You do not need an assessment for a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate.

When an applicant submits an e-APR to IRCC, the information in their application is locked, and their CRS score at the time of their application is recorded in GCMS. In simple words, when you submit your application after the ITA received, your CRS score get locked at that time. After that, you become unaffected to the birthdays, ECA, IELTS dates etc. You can read more about it by clicking following link:

If you do not have birth certificate, you can apply for one now. If your birth is registered, you will be issued with a birth certificate.

There are no legal restrictions preventing students from working on-campus more than 20 hours a week as compared to work the maximum 20 hours per week off-campus. You can work more than 20 hours a week if you are working on-campus. Your study permit has conditions that you may accept employment on-campus and 0ff-campus.
If you are eligible to work off-campus, you can work up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session. During scheduled breaks, like the summer or winter holidays and spring break, you’re allowed to work more than 20 hours. You must be a full-time student both before and after the break to work full-time.
-
It is true that an international student in Canada can not work more than 20 hours off-campus. When students do not comply with the work hours conditions of their study permit, they face problems at the time of post-graduation work permit.
In your scenario, you are working 20 hours off-campus in Canada which is completely authorized that means you are working as per allowed hours. The 30 hours work which you are doing on weekends in USA has no impact on your immigration status in Canada. It is because the work you are doing in USA does not put any impact on the Canadian work force and labour market.
-
You need to maintain legal status in Canada at all the times. If your work permit is about to expire and you cannot return home due to travel restrictions, you need to apply to stay as a visitor. You need to apply for this status before your work permit expires.
Once you have submitted an application to change your status to “visitor”, you will have what is called implied status. This will allow you to continue to stay in Canada as a visitor until a decision is made on your application. You will not be able to work during this time unless you have the proper authorization.
In case your existing work permit get expired, you may apply to restore your status, but you need to apply within 90 days of the expiration date of your work permit.
-
Due to ongoing concerns related to COVID-19, IRCC is taking preventative measures which results in delay in retrieving the records other than electronic records. You can still get electronic notes within in normal 30 days extension time. In order to get the complete documentation i.e. application, supporting documents, correspondences sent to and from IRCC, an extension of 365 days beyond the normal 30 days limit is required. You need to wait for this long processing time for your request.
-
You can legally work in Canada because you have a valid work permit. Work permits are valid from the date they are issued to the date they expire, unless there is a removal order that can be executed.

There are various language test options which are being accepted by designated learning institutions of Canada. The Duolingo English Test is accepted by almost 140 Canadian post-secondary institutions. It can be completed in just 1 hour and results are available in 2 days. Apart from Duolingo, there is also IELTS indicator test. These English tests approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for students that want to fast-track their study permit application.
Unfortunately, to apply for permanent residence application, this fast track online test is not acceptable. You can go for computer based IELTS general test which is provided by IDP, British Council, and Cambridge Assessment English.
-
There is no need to worry about deadline to apply for PGWP. I understand that you need to apply for verification of status (VOS), and send your original study permit document with application. You cannot apply both PGWP and VOS together, because they both get processed at different centres. You can simply go for applying PGWP application online and use the scanned copy of this study permit and explain about the correction issue. Meanwhile, you can also apply for VOS as a separate paper application.
-
Yes. She is eligible to sponsor her husband for permanent residency in Canada. Taking the government’s emergency help plan ‘CERB’ does not make her ineligible to sponsor her husband. CERB income will be counted towards your income to sponsor your family members. Moreover, your cousin has a job which is just temporarily interrupted by coronavirus pandemic situation. She can use her recent year’s income return and pay stubs to prove her financial ability to support her husband.
-
Could you please tell me about the previous name change done by your cousin? Was it a legal name change or she started using her husband’s name without any formal name change process?

Hello Jagroop
There is no specific income requirement for sponsoring a spouse in Canada. You can still sponsor your wife even if you do not have any income from your new company at the moment. You have filed your income tax for the last year 2019 which shows your are financially established in Canada. You can use your company’s articles of registration to prove that you are currently working in Canada and able to financially support your spouse.
In spousal sponsorship application, the spouse who is sponsoring signs the undertaking for the applicant and takes responsibility for three years. The sponsor has to show that he can support the person he is sponsoring and provides the proof of income if he is employed in Canada.
If a sponsor is not working then he has to provide the other documentation showing that he can support his/her spouse financially. This must include a detailed explanation of how he plans to support himself/herself and his/her spouse. You can use bank savings as a proof of support. Also, you can ask letter(s) of support from your parents if you are un-employed.
-
There is no need to worry about expiration of your PR card as you have no plans of traveling outside Canada. You will still hold a secured permanent resident status in Canada even if your PR card expires. PR card is required for traveling especially to re-enter Canada on a commercial vehicle. Also, you have applied for a Canadian citizenship application, an expired PR card will affect its processing or decision process. It is good that you applied for a PR card renewal before its expiry date. On June 30, 2020, IRCC has updated the processing time for PR card renewal to 287 days which is longer than the usual processing times. Probably, you will get your citizenship application approved by the time you get your PR card renewed. There is nothing to worry and to do anything about your permanent resident status in Canada.
-
No. You do not need certificate from the province of Quebec to apply Post-graduation work permit. You should:
1. have completed a program of study conferring a degree, diploma, or certificate
2. have studied full-time for at least eight months in a university, public college or publicly funded private college, or a recognized public or private vocational school
3. have applied for a work permit within 180 days of your educational institution issuing your final grades
4. have had a valid study permit within those 180 days
If you plan to apply for permanent residency in Quebec, then you need a CSQ (Certificat de sélection du Québec). You need to apply that before the expiry of your PGWP.
-
In most cases, your employer needs a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to support your job offer for Express Entry. A valid job offer has to be made by one employer for continuous, paid, full-time work for at least one year. Also, the job should be of Skill type O, A or B. As per your question, you need a job offer from your employer with a new positive LMIA. If you are currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B job on a work permit that was issued based on an LMIA, then you do not need another LMIA. For better understanding of job-offer requirements, kindly click the link below:
-
To become eligible for Federal Skilled Worker application, your work experience should be continuous and falls in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application. It should be same primary occupation NOC code as you mentioned in your express entry profile. Your federal skilled work must be:
1. within the last 10 years
2. paid work
3. at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)
Full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
Equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
Full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full
time (1,560 hours)
So the work experience you have will be counted as two different jobs of two different time durations. You cannot count it as continuous three years of skilled work experience.

Due to the impacts of coronavirus pandemic, IRCC can not process applications on normal pace and processing times. If you have applied study permit application from India the processing time is 11 weeks. For study permit extensions inside Canada, the usual time is approximately three months.

Hello Rajvinder
If your study permit application for Canada has been refused, you cannot appeal this decision. In case of temporary resident applications, judicial review can be requested instead of appealing the decision. I can say that you have the option of submitting your application again and address the reasons of refusal as mentioned by the officer. Make sure you have supporting documents to prove your intentions to study in Canada and as per the IRCC checklist made specifically for study permit application to Canada.
-
It depends on what kind of work permit application you are applying for. If it is a post graduation work permit (PGWP), then you need to submit the documents demonstrating your completion of studies. If it is a LMIA based work permit, then you need to submit a positive LMIA approved, letter of job offer, job contract and other supporting documents. If the work permit is based on your spouse’s status in Canada, then you need to provide enough supporting documents which proves that your spouse has valid status in Canada. Along with the identification documents, financial documents, and employment establishment documents are also generally submitted.
-
You can only apply work permit without a job offer if you are eligible for a job offer exempted work permit. Following can be the work permit scenarios which require no job offer:
1. Co-op work permit
2. When you have applied for permanent residency application and it is in process
3. You are spouse or family member of a person who has included you in his PR application
4. You are spouse or family member of a person who is studying or working in Canada
5. You have recently graduated from Canadian post-secondary institution
6. You have filed a refugee claim in Canada
7. You are a study permit holder who can no longer support themselves financially
8. You are a charitable worker

While pursuant to s.133(1)(j)(i)(A), a sponsor must have a total income that is:
(A) At least equal to the minimum necessary income, if the sponsorship application was filed in respect of a foreign national other than a foreign national referred to in clause or;
(B) has a total income that is at least equal to the minimum necessary income, plus 30%, for each of the three consecutive taxation years immediately preceding the date of filing of the sponsorship application, if the sponsorship application was filed in respect of a foreign national who is:
(i) the sponsor’s mother or father,
(ii) the mother or father of the sponsor’s mother or father, or
(iii) an accompanying family member of the foreign national described in sub-clause (I) or (II).
On the other hand, in spousal sponsorship application, the spouse who is sponsoring signs the undertaking for the applicant and takes responsibility for three years. The sponsor has to show that he can support the person he is sponsoring and provides the proof of income if he is employed in Canada. If the sponsor is not working then he has to provide the other documentation showing that he can support his spouse financially. This must include a detailed explanation of how he plans to support himself and his spouse. Your husband can use bank savings as support. Also, he can ask letter of support from his parents etc.

Hello Onkar
To become eligible to apply for Home Child Care Provider pilot program, the applicant must have at least one year of post secondary education in Canada or foreign education equivalent to one year post secondary education in Canada. Your niece should complete a diploma or two years certificate or three years diploma/certificate which means she needs to achieve a post secondary educational level in India. After that she needs to get her post secondary education assessed by Education Credential Assessment institution (WES, ICAS, IQAS etc.) to make it acceptable and equivalent to Canadian post secondary education. Being a nanny program holder does not fulfill all requirement for this pilot program. It can count towards your ability to perform the work as a nanny. I hope you understand there are many eligibility factors which primarily includes education, work experience & training (ability to do work), and language scores.
-
If you are not getting full time student status due to non-availability of courses, you can justify this while applying for post graduation work permit.

Hello Jagroop
When your parents applied for their extension application in Canada, they got a status known as ‘Implied Status’ which means they have applied for an application which is in process. They can remain in Canada until there is a decision made on their application. There will not be any trouble even if their allowed entry period has expired.
-
Yes. You can apply for Provincial Nominee Program with employer support. But you have to carefully look for skilled jobs for which Saskatchewan is accepting applications. You can work anywhere with a PGWP because it is an open work permit which allows you to work for any employer.

Hello Baljit
A home child care provider applicant can apply for her husband and children at the same time as she is applying for herself. It will be an application for permanent residency for all the family members. She will get work permit on approval of her first stage of application while her dependent spouse and children will get work permit and study permit respectively. The PR application will be finalized after proving that the child care provider has completed two years of work in Canada in the specified occupation.
-
You are correct that persons do not need to apply for a temporary resident visa to enter Canada who are from visa-exempt countries. Similarly, an applicant who wants to visit Canada on a super visa, does not need to apply for super visa but rather they will submit their passport to receive a counter foil to be pasted in their passport. The applicant will need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) separately to allow them to travel to and enter Canada. The eTA will be electronically linked to their passports. These applicants are also exempt from biometrics. They may be allowed 2 years entry by CBSA officers at ports.
-
Hello Sandeep,
Yes. You can work on an implied status if you have applied your PGWP before the expiration of your study permit. Your SIN is valid till the same date as of your study permit. IRCC allows you to start working immediately after you have applied for a work permit assuming that you meet all other requirements.
-
Yes. She can apply again. She has to look for the reason of refusal for previous two applications and apply this time with complete justification to the officer’s concerns and refusal reasons. If she does not have information about her previous files, then ask her to request for her information from IRCC or contact our office for assistance in obtaining immigration records from IRCC.

You can invite your sister and brother-in-law on a temporary resident visa (visitor visa). Apart from your personal income, there are many factor which are considered by an officer before issuing a visa, such as accommodation arrangement, bank savings, employment history etc. In other words, it is not only the income which effects the decision of an immigration officer who makes decision on a TRV application.
-
If your brother cannot come to Canada at the moment, it is completely fine. But in future, whenever your brother wants to visit Canada, he must have a purpose to visit Canada. You can send him a statutory declaration for any upcoming birthday, anniversary, or any other occasion so that he could present a purpose of visiting Canada upon examination by a CBSA officer at port of entry.

Hello Gurpuneet
There could be many reasons why this happened that officer issued you only six months study permit. But all of these reasons will lead to the conclusion that the officer doubted your intentions to study in Canada. He was not really satisfied that you have intentions to study in Canada primarily. It could be the reason that you chose to enter Canada from Toronto airport rather than Montreal as your DLI is in Montreal. Another could be inappropriate answers to his questions regarding studies or intent to stay in Canada.
Could you please recall if something like that became an issue? I can only answer further about how your study permit extension can be done.
Thanks.

Hello Inderpreet
You should have applied for your PR card earlier on time. Now you can request IRCC to process your PR card application to process urgently only if you have actually a valid reason of emergency such as:
a job opportunity
your own serious illness
the death of a family member
work related to your current job
the serious illness of a family member
But still it can not be a guarantee that you will get it processed early. So another option is you can apply for a PRTD (permanent resident travel document) from outside Canada when your PR card is expired and return to Canada with this PRTD.
-
Your sister can apply for permanent residency under LCP only if she has at least 2 years of work experience as a nanny in Canada.
-
As per the new pilot program of caregiver, the requirement of LMIA to hire a nanny in Canada has been removed. Now, you can bring a nanny from India to look after your old parents by making an offer of employment.
-
Under new caregiver pilot, a caregiver will be issued a work permit which is occupation restricted open work permit. It means he or she can work with any employer in Canada who have made an offer of employment but she can not change the occupation. She has to work as caregiver only .
-

Hello Parminder
In Canada to study as an international student, there are various expenses and cost related. Below I will list a few:
1. Usually tuition fee for colleges and universities are different and cost varies from program to program and their durations as well. But in common, I can say that a semester of about 4 months in Canada as an international student is around $6,500-$9,000. I could be less or more. So for one year program (two semesters), tuition fee could be $16,000 to $20,000.
2. Apart from tuition, you need living expense and settlement funds, commonly known as GIC savings for international student which is around $10,000 – $11,000.
3. According to each province, medical insurance for student can be included in tuition or could be paid additionally.
I hope you can estimate the approximately associated costs while planning to get a study permit in Canada.

Dear Baljit
Your mother can not extend her temporary resident visa. She can only extend her stay / entry in Canada. A new Super visa can only be issued from outside Canada.
If your mom travels on super visa (with three months visa duration left), she will have to apply for her extend of stay. Alternatively, you can file a new super visa for your mother so that she gets a visa for the duration of the length of her passport’s validity. She can get her passport renewed if it is expiring within 365 days.
