Student visa in Canada is ending, how do I switch to a visitor's visa to stay for a few more months?
My girlfriend's student visa in Canada expires end of this February and she wants to stay a couple of more months for travel etc. The question is, where to I go to start this process? Do i have to apply it outside of Canada? Or any visa office in Vancouver is fine? Thank you

She should be able to extend her visa. This link should help.

I would contact the embassy/consulate of her country of origin in Vancouver. She should be able to apply from within the country no problem. Check out the link for a full list.

US Student living in Canada. Filed US and Canadian Federal Taxes. Must I file Maine state return?
US Student living in Canada. Filed US and Canadian Federal Taxes. Must I file Maine state return?
I had my taxes done professionally, and they only filed a US and Canadian return. They claimed I was a resident of the US - since I am a student and "normally" my address would be Maine. The only income I had at my Maine address would technically be $500.00 in bank interest at that address. All other income was from within Canada. Must I file a Maine return claiming the Canadian income from my wife and I?

The question of whether you're a Maine resident under Maine law is different from the question of whether you're a US resident under the US-Canada Tax Treaty. Bank interest is not considered "sourced", so you wouldn't have to file a Maine non-resident return to report it, but bank account location is a factor in residency. However, the first reference suggests that Maine will consider you a resident unless you take actions to indicate that you do not intend to return to Maine, AND that you are maintaining a "domicile" in Canada. As a student, that seems unlikely, but not impossible. See, in particular, example 3 of the second reference for an example of a student who is NOT considered a resident of the state where she attends school, but of Maine, the state she left from. On the other hand, if your wife is a Canadian resident (under US law, NOT necessarily Canadian law), and you're living with her in Canada, then that may qualify as a Domicile. In that case, though, you'd probably be a Canadian resident under US law, and I don't want to second-guess your professionals without complete information.

How do i apply for a job in Australia as a current student in Canada?
I'm a student at university in Ontario. My girlfriend is going to school in Australia for the summer so I've decided i'm going to go down and live with her for a few months in the summer. I was wondering how i would go about applying for a restaurant-type job in Sydney for the summer months. I'm obviously new to this, so any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated.

In Canada on a student visa. " From when " can I apply for my permanent immigration as a skilled worker?10 pts?
I am now on student visa and I would like to apply for my permanent immigration as a skilled worker as I have its eligible condition. So I just want to know FROM WHEN or from how long after arriving and starting to study in Canada I can apply for my permanent immigration. I already have the 67 points of eligibility to apply. PS: I could not find the answer to this specific question on www.cic.gc.ca website

Well your answer IS on the CIC website - you are not looking closely enough. You would apply under the Canadian Experience class. You must: be either: 1 - a temporary foreign worker with at least two years of full-time (or equivalent) skilled work experience in Canada, or 2 - a foreign graduate from a Canadian post-secondary institution with at least one year of full-time (or equivalent) skilled work experience in Canada So AFTER you graduate, you apply for a post graduate work permit and you work in Canada for 12 months at a full time job (thats 37.5 hours per week) After you complete the 12 months, you STAY on a work permit and continue working. BUT you can now send a PR application into CIC. RIght now there is NO timeline available but so far thay are taking more than 12 months to be processed. You must continue working on a work permit for this entire time. When your processing is complete, you are landed as a PR in a local CIC office.
