Q. I’ve come to Canada with student authorization and I’m now studying in the University for my PhD. Can I change my visa status from Student authorization to immigrant?

Q. In filling in the application form, how do I best select “My intended occupation”?

Q. Is it true that PR application of a computer professional is processed quicker than other professionals, though they have higher qualifications and points? From my limited experience (well, only one or two!), it seems like that.

My friends applied at the same time and the one who is a software professional has got the landing papers but another one (not in a computer related job)is still waiting for a medical test or interview call! I am just wondering whether they have misplaced the file or it’s the normal way how it works!?
