Just remove Brampton from the option . Either Hamilton or Mississauga is good.

I think mississauga has more job opportunities tho.

The reason I said to remove Brampton is because the majority of indian from there favor their own kind.

Gujarati , Punjabi, South Indians. Basically in everything from getting a house, getting a job, even government services etc

For instance the drive test center i went to had an Indian attendant, she refused to add my driving experience because my driving licence no carry middle name as on my passport.

Went there the next to try again or complain. I didn’t even need to explain to the white lady she just added my experience no questions asked.

Since shes on a work permit, once she lands, she should immediately register for the MSI health card in that province. She ll be the main person and she ll register u the student and other kids if u have any as her dependents.
Its free to register since shes is on a work permit..with the health card, the govt covers most of the cost for the hspital bills..
Google it.. health card for work permit holders..

That what was a friend of mine did..

That's an awesome cycling infrastructure right there.

It is that time of the year again. Please if you ride a bike, you should disembark your bike before you cross - it is safer to not ride across a crosswalk. Dismount and wheel your cycle across.

Also, drivers, please use your mirrors.

Stay safe out there everyone.

Good day, everyone. Please, I need an answer to this knotty question. An Express Entry applicant recently obtained a provincial nomination and got an ITA few days later. This applicant has a sibling in Canada, but they are both not in good terms. The applicant is unsure if the sibling is a PR. The applicant asked, but the sibling refused to declare his status whether or not he has PR. The applicant is not desperate to use the sibling's status in Canada to increase CRS point, but she wants to be sure she's being truthful to IRCC, to avoid being accused of misrepresentation.

How can the applicant navigate this challenge? What if the applicant states that the sibling is not PR, but IRCC records reveal otherwise? Any way out? The sibling is not willing to disclose his status to the sister, talk less of providing her with documents to support the claim later on.

Thanks in advance.

While filling out the Express Entry profile, if you click "yes" to the question "Do you have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?" and you don't know the person's status in Canada, then you should not claim those 15 points. Not everybody in Canada, even after staying for over five years, is a permanent resident or citizen. Some people may remain as asylum seekers for up to five years, moving from one appeal court to another. If you cannot provide evidence for those 15 points with proof that ur sister is a PR/citizen , it could affect the whole application.

Sir, you forgot that PNPs are selected from the Express Entry profile and also take CRS points into consideration when selecting candidates. For example, if a particular PNP wants to select 50 candidates in a specific field with scores above 350, a person scoring 360 will be selected before someone scoring 355. That's why the 15 points you claim for family as PR/CITIZEN earlier while creating the Express Entry profile could become controversial if you actually have no family proof. Or maybe I'm missing something and need more clarification on this?

there are different types of PNP some are based on having a relative there. Like MNP, SASK etc. if you claim relatives there, you must provide evidence or the pnp application will be rejected.

Many thanks.

The applicant clicked "no" to the question at the time of creating the EE profile and scored zero for it. There was no such question during the PNP application and the PNP was obtained mainly from the masters program the applicant completed.

Now that the applicant has got an ITA, she just wants to know the steps to take in order not to offend IRCC. The sibling isn't forthcoming.

This particular PNP did not award points for PR siblings in Canada.

This particular PNP nomination was obtained mainly based on the masters program the applicant just completed.

Stray bullet. Brampton live matters😀

I have been living in Brampton for close to 2 years now. I have not experienced any of these.

My current landlord is Indian. He choose my application for the house above other Indians that came for the same house.

That aside, like you said most jobs are in Mississauga, would the person not be better of living in Brampton or Georgetown than going to Hamilton?
