If yes do I have to take Academic or General.

You have to take IELTS, no one is except from that anymore. You need General IELTS.

Thanks Krazydude. What i meant is the work permit letter we get initially not the passport ofcourse. I had to sent that to them, they said they have to legally inform that once a person leaves the comp who has work permit. As you said all that is checked while PR and shouldn't be required. But just...

Hi we are just at a dead end with trying to find out why my husbands bc application is taking so long. It has been 10 months and no outcome. So frustrating. MP route no help at all, they just tell us what the home office has told us. 6 months is an average, waiting for information. Case can not be ...

I have been trying to use the search option on this forum to find the answer to my question but couldn’t find anything. For some odd reason (or maybe me being paranoid) my wife hasn’t got a reference number, when we applied for the citizenship we received the acknowledgment letter on top it has...

Why not? The form states:

"The other referee must be the holder of a British citizen passport and either a professional person or over the age of 25."

Have the rules changed?

Thanks,

Thanks

I used a paper clip, but NSC took the clip off and stapled it.

I would like to apply for Quebec Immigration - Skilled Worker Program and need help in understanding the below mentioned:- 1) Do i need to fill and send 3 forms named: Application for Selection Certificate – Principal applicant Contract respecting financial self-sufficiency Application for perman...

Thanks Ray Unfortunately I have not extra time to take another IELTS exam to improve my score and also do not know French at all! But about the back and force and my plan issue; I prefer to hear from others about my crude planes. it is better, isn't it? FYI: About the rigidity matter; they are so f...

I got ILR on 09/02/2010 (HSMP-JR). What is the earliest date I can post my naturalisation application by special delivery, keeping in mind I have to be on ILR for 1 year? Is it 8th, 9th or 10th Feb 2010? I know I can wait one more week just to be sure, but would like to know? Thanks. TC Technically...

Dear Ray I got your answer; sure! everything is clear in those sites and I know enough about both of the immigration process; Federal & Quebec. From your questions, I don't think you actually are clear on both processes. If you really want to go to Canada, you really would want to be very clear...

I am not able to find any info related to find a way to related a Quebec approval to a FSW application. I don't mind you asking questions, but did you even bother to read through the links I sent you? Quebec website (link in the previous post) states the steps you need to go though for immigration:...

Thanks raymasa2 You mean I should leave my current file number and start from scratch; applying for Quebec???? No, I mean if you work or immigrate to Quebec, you would first need approval from the Quebec provincial government and then Federal government. If you don't want to work in Quebec, you don...

Hi guys I've applied as FSW and also I've got my first file number. During 120 days opportunity to send them the required docs; I didn't succeed to gain the required scores (due to bad IELTS score) and I need 2 more point to reach the 67. I've recently got a job offer from Montreal. Is that of any ...

Thanks for sharing those links. They are very helpful for aspiring immigrants like me. I would like to know if the IELTS exam for US can also be used for a Canadian Visa? I already took the exam and I am just waiting for the results. If I pass the exam and consider working in Canada rather than the...

Thanks Ray, it sounds like a business visa should be ok since all the points you gave match the situation. :) It may sound like that. However, six months is a long time and the business visa may not be the right one. Does it really takes six months to do after sales service (from immigration prespe...

Sorry for not being clearer. This would ideally be for 6 months, and it would be someone employed by the British branch of the middle east company travelling to an existing customer to help them set up their system. The customer would pay the middle east company for this service. Maybe it's more of...

I was wondering if anyone knew whether a British citizen, working for the London branch of a company in the middle east, can go on a business trip to Canada, and work for the same company but at one of their customer's premises please. What are the visa requirements, and how long would they would b...

Hello! Thanks for the great advice offered on this site! We landed in July 2008 as a family and my son is now in college in USA. He wants to do his MS in Canada starting next year as we have PR status. I am the PA but we (wife and I) cannot be in Canada and may have to give up the PR status. Can my...

Just one other query. Since I am not heading back to Canada until early 2012, does anyone know of problems that I might encounter crossing back into Canada? Thanks, Max That depends on when you landed. You need to be in Canada for 2 years out of 5, or put it another way, you can be out of Canada fo...

Hi all, I went to Canada for a week and had my COPR checked and was allowed into Canada. The problem now is that I have returned home to univeristy and when the Immigration Officer asked how long I was staying I told him. He then wouldn't take my family's Canadian address to send out my PR card. My...

Hi, I'm a bulgarian student and I live and go to university in Germany. I'd like to go to Canada for a year and work there. The concept of what they call "working holiday" in Germany would be perfect for me. But as a bulgarian citizen I'm not allowed to apply for that here but have to con...
