How can I find a job offer without express entry or citizenship

Hi,
I have been charged on January 2018 for assault and the case has been withdrawn on October 2019.
I applied for my citizenship for my all family and me as one group application on April 2018 .
The immigration asked only me to do a fingerprint on November 2018 which I did .
Then On January 2019 the immigration sent a letter asking for a court information statement to know the status on my court case …I sent to them the court information statement shows that the case has been Withdrawn On Oct 2018.
My Questions are :

  • does this case affect my application ?- I did my application by myself so I didn’t know that I should write about it in my the application, So does it be reason to affect my application even that the case has been withdrawn?- If it will affect my application, Does it affect my family applications as well ?- is it better to ask the immigration to cebreats my family applications ?- If it will affect my application, What the next step should I do ?
    Thank you for your support

My son reapplied for a renewal of his PR card in 2015. His documents were sent to a wrong address. When he reapplied again he received a letter stating immigration no longer receives statutory declarations as proof of identity and that he will need to renew his passport he used for entry or submit a record of landing of which we never received paper documents when we became permanent residents. So, he opted to apply for a record of landing. My son waited for 3 years without hearing anything from immigration until he decided to call to find out about his application. The person he spoke too stated the document was sent via email only to be told a wrong email address was used to send the document. My son has given up and feels he will never get his card renewed. Please l ask for your advice on what he should do with this matter. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I want to ask about the rights of children after divorce. I have been officially divorced by a court decision. I have 23 and 24 years old children(not working). Now they demand that I pay fees for their study.
Can you tell me please Is there any age limit for such claims? Or I should continue paying till they die.

I have been renting an apartment with my daughter who is now an adult, I have requested for her name to be added to the lease and my landlord refused with a simple NO, without reason. Now that I have taken on responsibility to care for ill father, I requested again for my daughter to be added onto the lease to receive housing supports, my landlord is now threatening to take back the apartment bc Im not present in the apartment and he wants to increase the rent from 896 - 1200.00 - i have already paid annual increase at the beginning of the year. Is this legal for him to take my apartment back and/or raise the rent at such a large increase without notice?

Respected madam,

I would like to clarify about PR card renewal >PR validity is Sept -2014 to Sept -2019 .

Our PR card expires on Sept 4 ,2019 for myself and family (Spouse and two kids).
We are staying in Canada since 10 th Sept, 2017.
Therefore, our total number of days in Canada is only 684 days.

I am a bit confused on the lack of no; of days that is 730 days for Renewal.
What is best suitable solution so that they wont refuse Renewal ?.
Also, is the Renewal Process done online or by post?

Eagerly Waiting for a Reply.

Thanks and Regards
Smitha.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.

The expiry date of the PR card is 5 years after the date it was printed, not 5 years after the date that you become Permanent Residents. A Permanent resident needs to fulfil the two-year (730 day) requirement for the five-year time frame starting from when they become a permanent resident.

It can be prior to the PR card expiry, however, an applicant should be sure that they have fulfilled the residency requirements for the PR status before they submit the application to renew their PR card. If they try to apply for the new PR card without fulfilling the requirements it may cause some difficulties.

If you have more specific questions regarding your situation you may want to inquire with an Immigration Lawyer or reputable Immigration Consultant https://settlement.org/ontario/legal-services/lawyers-and-other-legal-help/find-a-lawyer/should-i-get-help-with-my-immigration-application-from-an-immigration-consultant-or-lawyer/
