I am in a similar situation, submitted on the 9th of July as well.. A friend waited 2 days after tracking showed passports had been dispatched from Accra. If you're waiting for a PUM or whatever it's called, VFS may not send. She went there anyway and the passports were ready. I'll be going on Monday to pick up. cheromel: 1 Like |

[ Thanks quote author=Flaj post=69982322] Will the airline allow your wife to fly? I'm assuming she's 7 months gone and might be more when COPR lands. Niobe77 was in a similar situation when PPR landed but wrote to CIC informing them about the situation, she was asked to notify them within 30 days of the baby's birth though she didn't intend to birth in the US. You can mail them to let them know that you may not be able to land till after your baby's birth. Better still look through her posts but MAKE SURE YOUR BABY HAS A STATUS IN CANADA BEFORE YOU LAND[/quote] |

AZeD1: How about the year or years you stay in school? People have been getting good jobs without having to go back to school. Imagine someone has MBA, you still want to go back for MSc, it's redundant. Learning to be more Canadian is more important. Soft skills is very important here. In an interview, it could be the differentiation. The ones using Canadian schools to screen out are usually smaller companies. Their main problem will be if you can fit in their team which is where you're soft skills training becomes important. Canadian experience is not Canadian job experience nor is it Canadian school experience, it's if you're Canadian job ready. One hurdle is getting the job, the next is keeping it by fitting in with the team. Let me qualify my statement. People that already have good educational qualifications and know their stuff, don't need to go back to school. You need the right connections. 20 Likes 5 Shares |

Guys please I need urgent information on the following: 1. Process of obtaining Ontario Driver's license: what documents do I need to go with from Nigeria? Will my current DL and Intl DL suffice? 2. How do I provide information on accompanying goods? Do I group items under categories and estimate the value of the entire group (e.g clothes and personal effects) or must I list them all one by one? 3. What documents do I need to present for Child Care Benefit, specifically with declarating previous years' income? Anyone with answers pls help out. I know these may have been answered before in this thread, so I'll also appreciate if anyone can help out with the links. Thanks already. |

XX01:I think much also depends on your career choice. Alot of technical jobs prefer candidates trained at Canadian unis or colleges. Some provincial government cooperations, crown cooperations or engineering firms even prefer local graduates from a Uni/college in Alberta or Sask to a graduate from a uni in Ontario or Nova Scotia. However, some recuiters would not care and still invite a candidate for an interview. It's now left for the candidate to shine over others with local education and experience - This is the hard nut to crack. Your bridging programs and all other soft skills would be tested here as well as your knowledge. The above example is for technical jobs (trades, technicians, technologists, engineers, etc). I can't say much for other careers. Sometimes we just have to put ourselves in the shoes of the recruiter or better still hiring manager. They are humans and often times would prefer to go with a tested product than one that is not, especially if public safety is an issue. For the lady asking about customer services, sales or teller jobs, a recruiter won't probably care where she got her education from. Alot of those jobs require only an high school certificate, good communication skills and passing basic security clearance. Going back to school won't be necessary for such jobs and many other similar jobs. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

No impact in my opinion. It may just cost you more because you will pay annual dues for the original province and also the one you decide to eventually transfer to. The annual dues is split btw the national CPA body and the provincial so when you want to transfer, you must be in good standing with the original provincial body (paid) and the province you are transferring to will collect their own too. I may be wrong tho Newbeecey: |

Hello Guys, I'm currently a Post-Grad student in British Columbia, I was able to successfully bring my wife and daughter here.. my wife has a SOWP and my daughter has a visitors' visa since shes' just 2 years old. My program ends next year and it would be the end of 3 years post graduate study for me in Canada. My question is.. How do I go about converting my self, wife and daughter to PR holders... I know I should be getting a three years PGWP after my program ends.. Just looking for advice from someone that's been through this. Merci! 2 Likes 1 Share |

illiasnwm: Once you're a PR, you should be able to change their status. I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS. I know a person who did the EE I think. After school they worked in a designated profession, got work experience, did the English exam, and got enough points. That's what they told me. But whatever you do don't leave Canada, or try to do the legitimization process outside of Canada. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by salford1: 7:20pm On Aug 06, 2018 |
illiasnwm:While you are on you PGWP, explore the express entry or provincial nominee programs offered to international grads. If your province does not have a program in place for international grads or it uses an occupation list, check out the PNP programs offered by other provinces specifically geared towards international grad. Goodluck. 4 Likes 4 Shares |
