Dear Ms Powell, I should say thank you very much for your encouragement about pursuing further studies in Canada as someone who is a little bit older than the average student. My new problem is that I do not want to separate from my husband during my study. Can he accompany me and work in Canada? If yes, that would be great for us since we could still be together and he could work and help offset our expenses. Also, does he need to first get an employer to help with the application? Can we apply for permanent residence at the end of my studies? Thanks again for your valuable guidance. MK Dear MK, Congratulations and thank you for keeping me updated. I am very happy and proud of you for having the courage to pursue studies in Canada. It is never too late to learn and to pursue further studies. Education is the key to success. Under Canada immigration regulations, spouses or common-law partners of full-time international students are eligible for open work permits, provided th...

Dear Ms. Powell, I have interviewed for a position as an IT specialist at a company in Canada. This will be a one year contract and I strongly believe I will get the job. I have a wife and a four-year-old child. I am not a permanent resident, however, I currently have a temporary resident visa. If I am successful, what will be my next step to get to Canada? Will my wife and child be able to come with me? Will my wife be able to work and my child able to go to school? - BS Congratulations on being able to secure a job interview. That is a strong testament as to your educational credentials, experience and skills. This means that several doors could now be opened to you to become a permanent resident in Canada, or depending on the time constraints you could simply apply for a work permit. Express Entry Route If you have a valid job offer, you can apply under the Express Entry System to become a permanent resident within six months. Under this system you are more flexible a...

Dear Ms Powell, Can you  tell me how I can qualify for immigration as a businessman? I heard about some venture capital programme, and I have some money that I would like to use to invest in Canada so that I can get permanent residence. What are the requirements? How do I apply? - KO Dear KO, Your question is very relevant at this time as Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has recently announced the launch of the Immigrant Investor Venture Capital (IIVC) Pilot Programme. CIC will be accepting a limited number of applications and will take the time to evaluate the effectiveness of this plan to determine whether it should be continued. This is welcoming news since on June 19, 2014, the Federal Immigrant Investor and Entrepreneur Programme was terminated. Requirements The first fundamental requirement is that you need to provide evidence that you have a net worth of CAD$10 million. Your funds must be acquired through lawful private business or investment ...

Click here Dear Ms Powell, I am a nurse and I am interested in living in British Columbia. I have a sister who recently got married and moved there. She said she heard about an express entry programme to BC for medical practitioners. I would like to know how I, too, can move there with my husband and two children. J.G. Dear J.G. British Columbia is becoming one of the favourite places to live by immigrants. That is because professional, and in particular, health-care workers are in demand in British Columbia. Recently, the government launched a special express entry stream to the Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP ), thereby encouraging nurses, physicians, psychiatric nurses and allied health professionals to submit an application for permanent residence to the province. Who can apply? You m...

Dear Ms Powell, I am  an international student in Ontario and my study permit expires this year. I am interested in a work permit so that I can stay in Canada. How can I get a work permit and ultimately remain in Canada indefinitely? B.T. Dear B.T, Citizenship and Immigration Canada has a programme called the Post Graduate Work Permit Programme (PGWPP) which is to help international students gain valuable Canadian work experience after graduating from a participating Canadian post-secondary institution. Under this programme, the length of time that will be granted for work permits will be based on the length of the programme from which you graduated. For example, if you graduate from a four-year degree programme, you could be eligible for a three-year work permit, if you meet the requirements. If you graduated from an eight-month certificate programme, you would be eligible for a work permit that is valid for no more than eight months. If your programme is under e...
