And where did you get your credentials from??? Most Canadian firms generally do not trust foreign credentials. Have you visit this site www.notcanada.com ?? Rainpocky said he is from Canada. You should him why he is in Malaysia. Is he on vacation? Or is he back in KL because it is to humiliating for a white collar professional to work at Tim Hortons??Recently CBC had an article about immigrants having a hard time looking for job. Goto www.cbc.ca and type in 'Oreopoulos'

Get your uncle to sponsor you?? Unless he is willing to sign a 10yrs agreement to support you and your family and not ending up on social welfare. Oh yes must put up bond money too. With rising unemployment , I am sure he will 'think' about it.

try to find a job first, i uploaded resume on canada job site to test how hard it is for me to secure a job. also need research on rent, transport, food cost, tax, visa requirement.

try workopolis and monster.ca to see what job is available and payscale to see how much is the market rate, go to thestar.com to check on rent ...

workopolis is a good job site even got a boss button  laugh.gif

the perfect scenario will be a company will hire me and help me to get work visa, them after that i can apply for PR, maybe need to get my uncle to sponsor me on that application also.

Huh?? Pay nothing for health care??? Who are you trying to fool? You never heard of OHIP's premium or BC's MSP premium??? Alberta got rid of it health premium this year. With declining oil price and rising health cost, it is chaos. Read it on CBC site

but I'm from Canada.

. Whereas Canada you pay nothing for healthcare.
But no point arguing this with you.

You are talking rubbish. In Canada, anyone can sponsor anyone. Just sign a 10yrs agreement and put up some bond money


QUOTE(rainpocky @ May 21 2009, 10:48 PM)
US/Canadian  its applicable to immediate family. Extended family not.

Never seen a 10yr agreement nor bond money. Lucky you. What year did you emigrated ??? Let me guess ...must be 1980's or early 1990's??? Am I right???
From Govt of Canada website...sponsoring relatives... 3-10 yrs. Please read up and update. Of course there is no mention of bond money. Just like BC's MSP or OHIP websites. No mention of how much a person has to pay per month. Anyone who lives in BC or ONT knows he has to pay
I have a cousin who is living in Canada .His wife wants to bring her family over.According to my aunt, her son has to sign a 10 yr agreement and bond money( quite a hefty amount ). He couldn't afford the bond money...so no sponsorship.
Immigration Canada is not as stupid as they used to be. Back in the 90's any Tom d*** and Harry could sponsored family members and the dumped them at Social Welfare department. And how do IC prevent further abuse??? Bond money of course. Break your agreement and voila...consfication
If you still think I am making it up please goto
www.soscanada2000.com
click on immigration under new act. Then eligible condition. Then Sponsorship and then Sponsorship procedure
There is a little line there that says...IF you are in default , a performance bond...blah blah. Of cpourse nomention of how much
So am I talking thru my ass or the website is bogus ? Or you scurry back to Malaysia before IC imposed the up to 10yrs agreement +bond money??

Have you done it or are you just talking out of your ass as well. I've done it and I've not seen a 10 yr agreement nor bond money.

Yes an immigrant can sponsor anyone. Yes even a foreigner can sponsor someone so long he/she is living legally in Canada. How?? IndirectlyThe most common method being..the maid. After 2 years, she can apply for PR and if accepted , her hubby and children also qualify for PR. The foreigner is the high income expat worker. Canadians do not call them maid but rather caregiver. For more info pls goto CIC website. Acceptance rate is around 50%
Source... www.thestar.com type in nannygate and read the article by Thomas Walkon(The real Moral of Nannygate) Is there any truth to anyone can sponsor anyone??

Check other websites and they are also not quite the same as CIC.
As for the who can sponsor and who cannot be sponsor, my advise is learn to think out of the box.Indians, PRCs and increasingly Pinoys/pinays will try to beat the system whereas you, an Honest Joe says see the official website says this and is written in black and white. How to beat the system?? Hint...lying is illegal and wrong ...only when caught.
This is my last entry in this thread

Do you know what your saying, "anyone can sponsor anyone". So does that mean an immigrant can sponsor someone, or a visitor can sponsor someone, let alone, maybe just even a foreigner can sponsor someone. Where do you get this idea from?

I see from your website soscanada, its not exactly the same as CIC (the official canada immigration website) not some unofficial one. I can't seem to find where it says "ANYONE CAN SPONSOR ANYONE".
According to the CIC, this website, this is posted:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/index.asp

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) knows it is important to help families who come from other countries to reunite in Canada. If you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, you can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent child (including adopted child) or other eligible relative (such as a parent or grandparent) to become a permanent resident.

CIC refers to the immigrants who are eligible to use this family sponsoring process as the Family Class.

If you become a permanent resident, you can live, study and work in Canada. For more information about being a permanent resident in Canada, see the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.

When you arrive in Canada as a permanent resident, you must make every reasonable effort to provide for your own essential needs and those of your family.

If you sponsor a relative to come to Canada as a permanent resident, you are responsible for supporting your relative financially when he or she arrives. As a sponsor, you must make sure your spouse or relative does not need to seek financial assistance from the government.

The process to sponsor your family begins when you, as a citizen or permanent resident in Canada, apply to be a sponsor.

There are two different processes for sponsoring your family. One process is used for sponsoring your spouse, conjugal or common-law partner and/or dependent children. Another process is used to sponsor other eligible relatives.
______________________________________
Also here is another link from the CIC which is about Who can sponsor and who cannot, maybe I'm wrong but the website certainly posts there are restrictions, NOT ANYONE CAN SPONSOR ANYONE.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/spo...who.asp#who_can

To sponsor any other eligible relatives (for example, parents and grandparents), you must be living in Canada.

Who can be sponsored
You can sponsor:


parents
grandparents
brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, granddaughters or grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship
another relative of any age or relationship if none of the above relatives could be sponsored, and you have no other relatives who are Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act or permanent residents and
accompanying relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children).

Who cannot be sponsored
Other relatives, such as brothers and sisters over 18, or adult independent children cannot be sponsored. However, if they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for adaptability for having a relative in Canada.

In Bolehland or the little red dot, when a person is leaving the country, an immigration officer checks the passport. Does US has such exit control??? Overstay...so what???

The real REASON it is harder to get a visa to US is because Malaysia was stupid to declare itself an Islamic country and US post 911 paranoia. They have a better tracking system?? Boy, whatever you are smoking is pretty potent. The only tracking system they have is base on airline info... what's the percentage of passengers using up their return tickets and their names




QUOTE(dreamer101 @ Jan 4 2013, 11:01 PM)
segamatboy,

This is the REASON why it is getting harder for Malaysian to get Visa to get into USA.  And, if anyone related to you did this, it is harder for all of you and your family to get a visa to get into USA.

It is NOT Bolehland.  They have a better system to track this.

<<an immigration officer checks the passport. Does US has such exit control??? >>

Yes.

Permament or temporary??? I have a Canadian relative who was caught by US border agent for trying to cross the border carrying contraband stuff. She got an 16 months???? ban from entering the US That was 4 or 5 years ago



QUOTE(dreamer101 @ Jan 5 2013, 12:04 AM)
P.S.:  If you are talking about tracking people after they enter, you might be correct.  But, after anyone is caught and deported, the WHOLE FAMILY is blacklisted.

Added on January 6, 2013, 12:41 pmCanada imposed visa for Malaysian a few years ago citing the same reason. If you believe what Ottawa said, you may as well believe in tooth fairy. Look at the numbers. How many Bolehlanders visit Canada anually??? Hint.....MAS flew to Vancouver in the late 90s(2 or 3 flights a week) and withdrew after a year or 2. SIA withdrew from Vancouver in 2009(3 flights a week) Even Canada visa office relocated to Singapore.How to justify maintaining an office with so few visitors
One of my Canadian relative held a reunion gathering last year. They went to UK and OZ in the late 70's. A few of them went underground. They eventually got their papers and become legal residents. If Dreamer listened to their stories, he would blush with envy cause their lives were much worst than his(read some of his postings regarding his student years in a US uni)
Why Whitehall consider visa for Malaysian?? Most illegal migrants work jobs local wont touch Is Whitehall becoming paranoia after the 7/7 incident??? Do you agree some of UK religion of peace follwers are seeing their country as Little Satan



QUOTE(deodorant @ Jan 4 2013, 11:58 PM)
It fraks it up for the rest of us? Didn't you remember not too long ago UK was considering requiring Visa for Malaysians? Guess why they were considering that?
