Will the canadian authority consider your current immigration status in the UK when considering a person's aplication under skilled migration.
that is, if you are an overstayer in the uk, will it affect your application?
thank you
This bit is abit unclear about the initial admission bit. Do you mean that you must have spent at least one year in the uk before applying? Could you please explain.Note that, your initial admission must be for at least one year to be considered for migration and your current status is irrelevant so long as you meet the initial requirement.
What happens if you were admitted initially as a visitor and have been granted leave to remain in other catogories since then. Does the fact that you were initially on visitor visa affect your application?.But be aware that, if you were admitted on a visitors visa then, you would not be considered.
Thank you. I will do soI will advise you to familiarise yourself with OP6 Manual from the CIC website for a thorough explanation of the rules.
No. Supposing your visa was for at least one year when you entered the country, you could apply the same day if you wish or any other day after that. The condition is to have leave to remain for at least one year to apply and the length of time you have stayed in the country is irrelevant to the application submission process.This bit is abit unclear about the initial admission bit.

No. So long as you have a valid leave to remain for at least a year on the day of application submission, you are fine. The criteria is on the length of 'visa duration' on any residency visa with the exception of visitor's visa.What happens if you were admitted initially as a visitor and have been granted leave to remain in other catogories since then.
