CANADA IMMIGRATION NEWS AND TIPS

Immigration Corner: Do I qualify for migration to Canada? - News - Jamaica Gleaner - Tuesday | August 26, 2014 I have been working on an  ambulance for the past five years. My friends said they heard that I can move to Canada if I sponsor myself to go there.

Can I file for an extension? - WP Dear WP, I'm very concerned about your letter as I'm unclear about your status in Canada. I have many questions. Are you in Canada on a temporary resident visa?

I trust that you have not exceeded the time that you were granted to stay in Canada under a temporary resident visa/visitor's visa. Usually, the maximum amount of time that individuals are granted i...
