    Teaching In Eastern Thailand

    in Eastern Thailand

    Posted

    Hello everyone in Eastern Thailand! I'm just curious to know if anyone has information on teaching positions available in their area. I have been living in Bkk for awhile now and I am considering locating east to work/live to escape the noise.

    Thanks for any advice/help! :o

    Prv To Canada

    in Visas and migration to other countries

    Posted

    Bless ya TW!

    Thanks for all that info.

    My mother does live in Manitoba and we will be returning to Winnipeg.

    I doubt we will have jobs or a place lined up if we apply from Thailand as we will have to physically be there to find all of that. Do you think with a letter from my mother saying that she will provide us with a place and any financial help until we get set up on our own would be enough to get him his Prv?

    Also, in those 730 days could he come and go as he pleases? I mean he would be looking at a month trip home once a year basically.

    If he went to Canada on a 6 month Trv, would that be enough time to process the Prv? and no one would hold it against him that he got in the country on a Trv?

    And last question!

    Once he has a Prv what then? I doubt he would want citizenship as we plan to live long term in Thailand. Would this mean he would have to continue to renew his Prv and how often would he have to renew it and is that even possible if he is not living in Canada long term?

    Phew Ok done with the questions!

    Thanks so much :D

    meme,

    Any letter of support from family or friends shows CIC that your relationship is known to others (not hidden) and that you both have moral support and financial, if need be. I wouldn't say this would guarantee a PRV for your husband since there are many documents required for the process. Proving to CIC that your relationship is genuine and continuing is very important.

    Yes, he may come and go as he pleases. The 730 days is not continuous through the 5 years, it must be 730 out of 1825 days that he is in Canada. If he were to let his PRV discontinue, then you would have to go through the whole, rigourous process again :o ! I think after obtaining his PRV, you may change your mind on applying for citizenship. But then again, he has 5 years to decide that!

    If he obtains a TRV and then applies for his PRV, immigration cannot 'kick' him out of the country. He would simply apply for an extension of his TRV through CPC-Vegriville (AB) and explain that he is awaiting the decision of his PRV. I agree with TornedoX when he says that applying like this will not look good in the eyes of CIC, even though the CAN embassy here tells this to some people. If there is ever a chance he was denied PRV, then getting a TRV would be impossible? I heard of one guy who got his sponsorship approval, while being in Canada, his wife then applied for a TRV, while being in Thailand, and the embassy gave it to them since they knew he was approved to sponsor her. They are in Canada, living together, and awaiting the PRV from Singapore. The embassy called it 'dual intent'.

    Good luck!

    Prv To Canada

    in Visas and migration to other countries

    Posted

    My husband and I are thinking about moving to Canada for a couple of years.

    He has had 3 TRVs and has one 10 year multiple entry tourist visa to the US.

    We have been living(and working) in Thailand for the past 5 years.

    Would it be better to apply from Thailand or should I go home, get a job an apt and then apply? Can you even apply to sponsor someone if you do not live or work in Canada but plan on going back when they get their residency?

    Could my mother sponsor him? She has a job, a house etc. I basically would not like to go home and wait 6 months for him to be able to come over. SO if she or we could sponsor him perhaps it would move things along as she already has security in Canada.

    Would he have to stay in Canada for a certain amount of time before he could go back to visit Thailand?

    If he was already in Canada on a TRV is it illegal/wrong to apply for a PRv while he is there?

    Yes, you can sponsor someone without physically living in Canada. You and your husband would do an outland application. Read up! http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp

    You would need to show immigration that you have plans to re-establish in Canada once your husband has been approved his PRV. You would have to show that you both have a place to live and a job waiting for you. You could personally own a place or lease one, or you can even have a family member or friend write a letter of support saying they would put you both up until you are settled and working.

    Your mother cannot sponsor him unless she lives in Alberta or Manitoba, then she can look into the Provincial Nominee Program there; Alberta: http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/immigrate/ainp.html, Manitoba: http://www.gov.mb.ca/labour/immigrate/pnp/index.html

    She can, however, write a letter of support for accomodation, finances and moral!

    Once he is approved his PRV and lands, from that day on he must be in Canada for 730 days for the next 5 years. These 730 days do not have to be consecutive stays in Canada. This is for his PRV to not expire and then he can eventually file for citizenship.

    If he can go to Canada on a TRV he can stay there while his application for a PRV is in process. This would be the inland application process and since he has good standing with other visas, he can do either, it is your decision/option.

    Hope this helps! Good luck meme

    Hello!

    Anyone know of any good, reliable van taxi companies I can hire by the day from Hua Hin? I will require transportation in the area for some random days within a 2-week period.

    Thanks in advance! :o

    Canadian Prv

    in Visas and migration to other countries

    However, I am NOT sure if YOU have to fill out IMM1283.

    Double check with the embassy if this applies to LEGAL SPOUSE in case of application to sponsor ONE member of a family class:

    Good luck.

    Sebastian.

    I looked closer at the forms and you guys are right! There is no requirement (financially) that I have as a sponsor for my wife since I will ONLY be sponsoring her and not other dependant children. Plus I am not on any welfare program receiving money from the government. I still have to fill out the financial forms though so putting unemployed should NOT be grounds to deny my sponsorship.

    Thanks Sebastian and TornedoX!!

    A Canadian person could give you a contract, for example, at a salary X. That will increase your incomes. Bank statements could be checked, verify that all is legal...

    When you say 'contract', would an offer of a full-time position that states duties, salary, etc. help?

    However, I am NOT sure if YOU have to fill out IMM1283.

    Double check with the embassy if this applies to LEGAL SPOUSE in case of application to sponsor ONE member of a family class.

    The Embassy in Singapore has told me they do not deal with the sponsor part of the application, only Ontario does. Since there is no contact information or even an email address to the CIC in Ontario, I will have to get someone back home to phone them.

    Thanks for your help Sebastian :o

    When Is The Dark Knight Released Here?

    If Hollywood movies are so crappy what would be the point of buying them on bootleg?

    To avoid wasting more of my hard earned cash to a bunch of overpayed, whiny Hollywood wanke_rs and put the money into the hands of the real workers... bootleggers on the streets of Bkk :D .

    This movie was completely different than the one with Jack Nicholson.

    Both films had the Joker, who was crazy and wanted to kill the Batman. Yep, completely different :o

    It's actually a genre film which just so happens to be headed to be the highest grossing film of all time.

    So since the film makes a lot of money, that makes it good? :D

    Get over yourself and get a life.

    Sniff, sniff... that one hurts :(

    ...but I love Batman so it doesn't bother me.

    And I need to get a life? :D

    And if you like Heath Ledger's performance, the best place to enjoy it is clearly on the big screen with superior sound and screen, which cannot compare to your living room.

    Hey, how do you know how good my living room is? :D

    I just think with the large numbers going to this film, not everyone is going to like it, especially those not fans of the genre or story of Batman.

    So if someone says the movie sucked, like myself, that means they don't know the 'genre or story of Batman'?

    The smart filmgoer realizes he/she may not like a film, but unless it is absolutely horrendous recognizes the reasons why others would.

    Smart filmgoer? It's <deleted>' Batman?? Kids under 4 go and see it! And I am a kid when I watch Batman! :D

    IMHO, it was a bad show 'PERIOD' (aka: end of story)
