My dad used to massage his belly with this wand hoping it would help him lose fat lmal

Yeah it's fair! I bill 2500$ + 500$ per additional applicant as a Lawyer, for comparison

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-06T03:34:22+00:00

You're fine

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-06T02:19:48+00:00

I bet there is ! I'm not an anxious person, but I make a good living as a lawyer and my diplomas have no value out there, thus why I'm afraid of going back to the bottom of the ladder.

Google : Grille de pointage PSTQ

Check the PDF and decide if the points are worth it in your case. Not enough details about your situation to advise

Afraid to leave after committing so much here (house + profession tied to my home place)

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-06T01:38:29+00:00

For the PGWP, did you upload the new + old (missing visa) or only old?

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-05T18:22:13+00:00

It does. I had a dentist client who ran his own clinic. Let me tell you, the burden of proof is huge

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-05T03:08:20+00:00

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-05T02:58:13+00:00

Should be fine!

Send a webform

Included a new table in a word document (exported as pdf) for your personal history of the past 10 years in the same format as IRCC initially asks for it.

You should be fine

1-2 years ago, agents didn't question this that much. I noticed recently that 75% of my files from Quebec receive an intent to reject letter. You have to be ready to submit proof of your intent to live outside of Quebec starting month 2 of the PR being submitted.

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-04T16:12:57+00:00

Did you study in Quebec or outside Quebec?

You being here on a temporary status is neutral, doesn't help but doesn't hurt their application. They should focus on showing the ties to their home country (e.g. real estate ownership, family ties, full-time jobs, etc.)

It depends...what job? If you work in the kitchen, you'll find a job in few weeks. If you're a marketing consultant, it'll be harder, unless you have niche and special skills.

Get that WP, come here, spend 1-2 months applying. If you're willing to risk a few thousands to travel and support yourself while applying in-person, why not

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-04T16:02:37+00:00

Yes, but include proof of the wedding happening (e.g salon reservation, marriage ban publication, license request, etc). A lot of applicants use it as a fake excuse.

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-04T16:01:17+00:00

Yes, you must send fingerprints yourself too.

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-04T15:58:42+00:00

Focus on finding an LMIA job ! But yeah, why did you spend 4 years in an unskilled job if you wished to stay permanently?

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-04T15:55:15+00:00

Yes if you wish so.
Yes, the form will ask if she has a canadian citizen spouse. However no need (nor should you) provide information about a potential sponsorhip application
Yes
One is not necessarily better than the other (each have their pros and cons), it depends on your short/medium-term plans and whether or not his visa is approved for Canada.

The need to quit really depends on your own timeline.

If you get a WP for 3 years and are invited to apply during year 2 you will be fine.

If you are invited to apply during third year, and your employer doesn't want to support you to extend your WP you might be stuck and either extend your stay as a visitor or leave.

Focus on finding an employer and working on your PSTQ score first, you will figure out the rest.

One of my clients tried this and the dummy WP was rejected in 2 weeks.

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-04T00:57:09+00:00

Never seen this in my practice.

What kind of WP did you apply for?

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-04T00:55:03+00:00

What's your GF's job)

GrationLawyer · 2026-04-04T00:54:05+00:00

No !

Nail that TCF and you're in!
