CANADA IMMIGRATION NEWS AND TIPS

Dear Miss Powell, Happy holidays! I am in sixth form doing mostly science subjects and hoping to go to university next year. I am not sure what to study, but I’m doing some research about studying in Canada and came across your name, so I decided to write you. What are the kinds of jobs that are in demand since COVID? Are science jobs in demand? I know the prospects here are not so great, so I am looking for options in Canada as I would like to eventually live there. Hope that you will respond to me.

  Dear Miss Powell, I’ve been chasing this dream of going to Canada for years and can’t seem to make any headway. You’ve been writing articles for years and I’ve been reading them and even doing my research online, but I can’t seem to make any headway. I’m at the point of giving up now.

  Dear Miss Powell, I read one of your articles where you said that a visitor can get a work permit. I came to Canada to visit my sick mother; now she has recovered nicely, but I don’t want to leave her alone. I am a practical nurse and so I was looking online to see how I can convert my visitor’s visa to a work visa, but can’t see where to download the forms or where to send in an application. Can you guide me, please? – A.I. Dear A.I., There is a temporary policy in place where visitors can apply to extend their stay in Canada as workers. This policy is applicable to persons who have entered Canada before August 24, 2020, maintained your legal status, and can satisfy the criteria to received work permit. This new policy is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In my last article on this topic, I highlighted the requirements and qualifying factors. The key requirement is that an applicant would need to be prepared to include proof of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), or LM...

They said I could use the letter to get the work permit or permanent residence. They now want me to pay them almost $2 million to apply for my family to live in Canada. I showed the letter to the friend and she said I should be careful. I don’t want to apply and then I do not get through. How do I know it’s a good offer? Is there a guarantee that I will get through? Looking forward to your response. – H.Y. Dear H.Y., There are many fraudulent individuals and companies who make promises they can’t keep. There are so many red flags here. First and foremost, only the Canadian authorities can guarantee that you will get a work permit or receive a job offer. No agency, consultant or lawyer can guarantee that your application will be successful. If they do, this is a red flag. Second, ...
