    After 7 rejections, I was exhausted and about to give up. Malkoc Edi helped me figure out what was wrong with my application and fix it. It finally worked!

  • @Rijuansk722
    @Rijuansk722 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I was rejected 7 times before someone told me about Malkoc Edi. Honestly, I wasn’t sure at first, but he helped me get my visa. If you’re struggling, I’d suggest looking into his help.

    Good morning madam.I have been building my proof of funds for months now.I am self sponsored and my main source of funds is my monthly salary.But the salary is coming from my Boss personal account.Does it matter or must the salary come from an account with the company 's registeref Business name?

    • @infoplacecanada
      @infoplacecanada 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Your salary can be paid from your boss's personal account if you provide consistent pay slips, a confirmation letter from your employer, and bank statements showing regular deposits, ensuring the source is transparent and traceable.

  • @Mich-y5s
    @Mich-y5s 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Can your proof of funds primarily be a sponsor if you don’t have a good bank statement?

    • @infoplacecanada
      @infoplacecanada 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding proof of funds for your application. Yes, it is possible to have a sponsor provide the majority of the required proof of funds. However, there are some important considerations to ensure this approach is acceptable. Also please note that the source of fund will be required during the application process. For further inquiries you can reach us via email: ask@infoplacecanada.ca Thank you.

    • @infoplacecanada
      @infoplacecanada 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Please be advised that IRCC generally does not accept cryptocurrency statements as proof of funds (POF) due to their volatility. POF must come from stable, verifiable, and easily accessible sources. You may deposit the $20,000 into a regular bank account; however, you will need to provide documentation explaining the source of these funds. For further inquiries, please feel free to contact us at ask@infoplacecanada.ca.

    • @infoplacecanada
      @infoplacecanada 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      After graduating in August 2025, apply for your Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) and renew your Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). Travel home only after receiving both, as leaving earlier may cause issues re-entering Canada without proof of enrollment.

      A hospitality management course alone won't guarantee permanent residence, but it can help you gain the skills needed for work opportunities in Canada. If you secure a job in the field, it could improve your chances of applying for permanent residency through different PR pathways.

    ⦁ Who is Vikash Yadav? Lawrence Bishnoi? Goldy Brar? Amit Shah? ⦁ Why is Canada having to deal with Sikh & Hindu diasporas stirring up tribal hatreds in Canada even though it all stems from their ancestral home? ⦁ Why did Canada have to launch investigations in regards to foreign interference in Canadian elections, stemming from India? ⦁ Why is BC & Ontario having to take steps to outlaw The Caste System at workplaces? Due to numerous labour complaints. ⦁ Why is Canada having to deal with the repercussions of greedy Ghost Consulting in India targeting Indian students? Filling their heads with PR fantasies. Leading to the vast majority of Indian international STUDENTS in Canada insisting (no matter what?) on PR versus returning home without it when SCHOOLING ends. Contributing to (not causing) today's severe housing crisis. ⦁ Why have Canadians seen social media videos that Indian nationals have posted all advertising Canadian PR & visas & permits & schools & jobs etc., like they're selling shirts? Posted hourly for years & rarely in English (with very very rare input from Canadians). ⦁ Why did Canada not have numerous PRIVATE 'diploma mills' (most in/near Indian neighborhoods) until 40% of international students were from India? Schools that Canada is now shutting down. ⦁ Why is the title "IELTS spouse" known to Canadians now? ⦁ Why have Canadians seen Canadian housing being scooped up en-mass as investment vehicles by, and for, Indian nationals? Some home rental signs stating "vegetarians only can apply". Often these 'landlords' also cram 20+ students in a small home and charge each way too much for rent. ⦁ Why are Canadians primarily seeing Indians only protesting & waving their flags on Canadian streets making demands (because they don't have enough credentials to remain in Canada)? Carrying signs accusing very tolerant multicultural Canada of racism!!! ⦁ Why are Indian STUDENTS asking for Canadian asylum (which Indians rarely qualify for)? ⦁ Why are Indians using Canada to illegally cross into the USA? ⦁ Why are most tech support scams, phishing, and identity theft scams in North America originating from India? Plus major auto theft rings have recently formed in BC & Ontario. Shipping car parts overseas. When arrested, most are from where? Research and see. ⦁ Why were Canadian food banks & other charity services recklessly advertised on social media in Indian languages? ⦁ Why is a country with over a billion people now badmouthing Canada and hurting it's great reputation? Canada, one of the top 10 most peaceful and kindhearted and law abiding and multicultural and INVITING countries on Earth! How do you think this makes Canadians feel? And why for the first time in over 50+ years, are most Canadians becoming distrustful of immigration??? With stuff like this, Canadians (including Asian Canadians) are getting more and more upset. It’s not hate. It’s not racism. It’s a normal reaction to an influx of any culture that doesn’t assimilate and blend to a country’s culture and way of living, including rules and conduct norms. Support the country you live in … or live in the country you support? Canadians want multi-culturism to succeed and for all people (including immigrants) to be okay. Now Canadians are VERY happy with IRCC's recent changes (reductions & multifaceted investigations & deportations etc.). Including multi-generational long-term Asian Canadians MOST upset (by all of this).

    Hi! I just found your channel and I missed the live stream. My question is; to qualify for Express Entry, I understand that I need 1year experience in my work area. I have 10months experience on 1 job and then completed my 1year experience with another employer. Both jobs are the same occupation, full time, and no breaks in between. Do I qualify for express entry eligibility then?
