Dear Miss Powell, I saw where you posted on Facebook that any individual under 35 years with a degree can get to live permanently in Canada. Is Canada really immigrant friendly? Here’s my situation, I am 28 years old and I have a diploma and a degree from Mico. I am a teacher at a high school. I don’t have any family in Canada. Does that mean I qualify to go to Canada? I also have a son and his father isn’t supporting him. Can I take him? Thanks for your time and keep up the good work.

Dear Miss. Powell: I am an international student who started studying in Canada two years ago and I’m having a difficult time with finances as my mother died in November.   Just dealing with the funeral and all the stress has taken a toll on me. To make it worst, I couldn’t find the school fee for January and so I applied to take some time off school.    I am thinking that I will work full time and save some money so that I can go back to school in September and just get my head together.   Do I need to apply to the government for this leave as well? What application should I submit?   Thanks for your help.

Dear Miss Powell, I have a bachelor’s degree and 5 years experience as a manager in a private company and I’m thinking of trying out the express entry programme for Canada. I want to sponsor myself, my son and my wife. My wife is also a professional with a degree so I think we have the required education and work experience to do well in Canada. I’m just wondering if this is something I can afford as people say you need to show a lot of money. How much money do I need to immigrate to Canada?  Is there a maximum? What do I need to show?  Can we use our house and cars as collateral?  Looking forward to your response. Thanks PN Dear PN, If you are applying under the express entry system to live permanently in Canada as a Federal Skilled Worker or as a Federal Skilled Trade Worker, you will need to show the government of Canada that you have the financial means to support yourself and your family, once you are granted permanent residence. The requir...

Dear Ms Powell, I am living in a very difficult situation and I need to escape. Can I seek asylum in Canada? I have a friend living in Toronto who said she went to Canada on a visitor’s visa and stayed, and is applying to stay as a refugee. Another friend said it won’t work. I want to know if I qualify before I make the move. Please tell me how I can qualify to seek asylum in Canada. – BN Dear BN, You did not provide details of your ‘difficult situation’ and the reason you feel the need to escape from your current location. This information is critical to assess whether or not you would qualify as a refugee and be granted asylum in Canada. A refugee application is not to be taken lightly, and you must ensure that you are able to satisfy the requirements before you put in an application, as this could have profound effect on whether or not you are able to come to Canada in the future, if your application fails. Asylum claimants will be put though a very rigorous process t...
