From what i know, your eligibility for PR will only come through once your wife completes her studies. Before spouses used to take advantage of getting PR before completion of studies and thus making the student pay less in fees and sometimes discontinuation of studies etc. For this reason new measures were put in place to ensure the spouse gains eligibility for PR upon completion of principal applicant's studies.
My advice would have been to find a way to increase your wife's CRS without having to go on study permit. But that is probably my lack of POF talking. The amount spent on the study route POF for student and accompanying spouse could have been used for POF for PR and wife could have studied french at a much smaller cost and gained required points or selection via french category. I feel it would have been a more feasible, less tedious process.
What can be done to increase your wife's CRS? 2 years MSc is just too long to wait. What about french classes in canada along with MSC? I am focusing on your wife because she has better chances in my opinion unless you try for STEM category. Perhaps maxing the ielts if not already done.

forget about visitor visa, go through study route. It is the easiest

Good day all,

I have a little challenge here. I work in a farm and the farm doesn't own a website. I have read that reference letter from my employer should carry contact information, including the company's email address. IRCC have it that the email address should bear the company's domain name.

What can I do please?

Just to digress a bit. Let us also encourage posters going to study to focus on their studies seriously. I've noticed a trend whereby studies is just used as a pathway to residency to the point that its placed in the back. Reaping the benefits of both studies and residency far outweighs having just the residence permit. The computing degree I undertook in Scotland was very intensive and eye opening. The knowledge I gained from the program boosted my confidence and skills to the point that when I attended interviews for my first job I spoke more about my experiences in computing projects I took in school and was able to communicate with the professionals. I built on that foundation.

In the past two months I have met 6 people in the greater toronto area who came to Canada to study (on study permit) but are already looking other things to do with no interest to even enroll in their respective programs. Employers in Canada are not in sync with the immigration department and hire strictly based on candidate profile and performance at interviews/assessments. Canadian education and work experience is usually a plus.

It is also cheaper to arrive Canada as a permanent resident than as a student. Permanent resident fees are far cheaper and there is access to a wider pool of jobs and credit facilities.

Good morning everyone, I trust we are fine, please how do I prove ties with my half sister to claim sibling point. She’s married and bears her husband surname. I have a different surname with her even before she got married cos we are half siblings. What relevant document can I tender to fulfill the obligation of proving ties. Please treat as urgent.

braine:


Submit the information below, at least thats what I did:

Your Birth certificate;
Her birth certificate;
Marriage certificate between your parent and your half sisters parent (there must be no sign that the marriage deteriorated);
Proof of relationship (Here, I bombarded them with pictures from childhood till date );

Other documents you'd need:
Her PR card, front and back;
An utility bill or bank statement outlining her residential address.

I dont think you should worry about about her name.

Mjhay:

Thank you so much for your response, I need clarification on the marriage certificate, we have thesame mum but different dads, can you please elaborate on the marriage certificate issue
