Canadian immigration: pls advise !!

[banti]

Hello everyone,

I am Indian National currently studying in US, also worked there for 2 years. I seek to apply Canadian Immigration, and want some good advise from experienced members. I have Computers background, and worked in Databases. I have Bachelors of Computers from India and pursuing Masters in US; i would like to know -

1) Can IELTS be waived as i am already in English speaking country (US) for more than 4 years?
2) Where are the official FRENCH exam test centers in US, like that of IELTS?
3) Do I also need to submit my Income Tax returns of US when applying for Canadian immigration?
4) Also, do i need to obtain Police clearance certificate from India alongwith the US?

I will appreciate your advise and suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
banti

Hi Banti,
Those are some good questions. I can't answer all of them, but I will give it a go:

The exam is not difficult. If you speak a working level of English you will pass it easily without needing to study and by the sounds of it you have good English having lived in an English speaking country for 4 years.

I never heard of any police clearance. The issue is getting a visa and work permit. If you have gained your masters by now it will be a lot easier. Other requirements include having a certain amount of money saved up and also having a reason to leave (so you don't over stay your visa).

If you're still uncertain I'd suggest seeking out an immigration consultant.
