Why haven't you included your husband????

That means he won't be able to go with you.

You need to read carefully what you need to be eligible for a work permit and send ALL required documents.

Family members are not a problem, except of course they are criminals, are sick or have other reasons to be denied.

And this information is all on the canadian immigration site, including checklists and everything.

I would really reconsider including your husband. He probably was denied the first time because you was denied.

They said that I do not show any reason that I will come back if my contract expires, which of course cannot be explained...

Are they telling me that I have the tendency to stay as illegal because I donnot need to come back to the Philippines because I already have my husband in Canada. ???:(

WHO is there to go back to the Philippines then??? my kids are not the reasons??/WHY should they ask this? when I am in contract in my LMO? :zzzzz

I just thought, maybe the Canada Consul cannot think of anything to say, but this...which I just to put one plus one equals two. They meant to say that YOU can apply but YOU need to go back to the PHILIPPINES only if you leave your family behind.

Now is my 2nd time around to apply:p because my LMO should not be wasted because it will expire by 2011. I sent my application Nov. 15 and until now there are no replies. Of course my medical is still actively in use.So I did not need another medical.

mmmh, sounds all a bit odd, soo what kind of a job have you accepted then????

And who is your employer (friend of a friend??), it sounds like this is maybe the problem? You know for many jobs the canadian goverment is normally happy when people stay in the country, so maybe it's your job offer??

And with not leaving the country, unfortunatly it is a problem, even here on this forum you can see from posters that some of them are in fact illegal and overstaying their visas.

The sister of a collegue of mine was denied a tourist visa for the US for exactly that reason. And Canada faces similar problems.

When overseas workers are imported to work a term contract, they are expected to leave the country at the end of the term of employment.

Yes, there are lots of illegals in Canada. In every field of work. And yes, they do get around to deporting them eventually.

It was a Big nursing Home facility which has branches all over Canada. I applied as a graduate nurse. My problem actually is the Head or Owner? made a contract that stated ten yrs. of for permanent term if possible....as the term of the contract- that was probably a problem..that could have made the consul disagree...anyway ...it all dpends on how he/she will interpret this...My employer told me to reapply after I was denied but still she did not change the term of contract that she wrote...it was still for ten years.:(

Most terms are one or two years. The ten year term is a huge red flag to the Immigration people. It just screams, I'm looking for a loophole.

I must admit does seem strange 10 year contract.

Yes, second to that. Never heard yet of 10 years contract... im not too sure but, it could be the MAIN reason why you didnt make it the first time, no visa granted. The Consul/s who interviews are all more than well trained to deal with all sorts of situations and even if you're not doing anything wrong but if ..just IF they feel, even at the "slightest tiny bit" of doubt, that could already be their grounds why they wont give grant you a visa. But on a lighter note, good luck on that second try.

Read the sticky:https://allnurses.com/canadian-nurses/faq-canadian-registered-370227.html

The Canadian Registered Nurse Exam is only offered 3 times per year, as the sticky explains. Your IELTS must be no more than 2 years old when you write so that will have an impact on how long you can wait.
