Hey, on my lawyer's advice I included pretty much all of my skilled jobs that I claimed points for. I did leave one out though as my tenure was very short, 6 weeks, I didn't really do much in the role so I didn't want the letter to cause me any issues for not being detailed enough. I explained...

Please ask your completely unrelated questions elsewhere, not on my thread

I'm not clear on what you are asking. If you have enough points in your current express entry profile (e.g. around 500) that you get picked up in the next draw then you don't need to create a PNP application. However, if you want the additional 600 points then you should apply for BC PNP. I...

@rafaelnunez18 I will have more than enough points with my PNP nomination, 600 points, so if I remove them then they won't go below the minimum points required. I would also be removing them before ITA.

Hi, I recently received a nomination from BC PNP Tech. I do currently have a few jobs listed in the work history of my Express Entry profile but I no longer need these points. Additionally, 2 of these jobs are hard to categorise, I think they could belong into either one of two, so I would...

Well it's completely absurd though if that's the case, because if a draw happens between now and November 23rd and the score is low enough for me and I don't get invited then that's just ridiculous, because I will have 6 months of experience within the past 3 years, which is the requirement that...

I spoke briefly with a lawyer about this (who is now away) and she said: You must have 6 continuous months worth of experience in the past 3 years. As of today (October 30th, when I asked) that would be Dec 2020 to Nov 2023. They only calculate it in months. It seems based on this that I...

I don't know what you mean sorry. Why would I need to wait a month to apply? What do you mean they'll give me one month in advance? I'm asking when the system will cut me off from considering me to have met the eligibility criteria for a category based round where the requirement is to have 6...

Hi, I last worked as one of the NOC's eligible for the STEM category based invites from July 20th 2020 - May 23rd 2021, meaning that the last time I had 6 months continuously was November 23rd & May 23rd. I originally thought I would be eligible for this until November 23rd 2023 - which is...

Hey @classico33, I turned down the ITA on the advice from a lawyer, who confirmed that work done for a Canadian company outside of Canada would not count towards the 52 week requirement for CEC. Very annoying as I haven't had an ITA since.

Hi, I will shortly be applying for CEC and am currently on an IEC which will expire in July. Where do I apply for the bridging visa for my IEC whilst I wait for a decision on my CEC application? I found the Imm5710e document that I think I need to fill in, but I couldn't figure out where to...

@brb2288 thanks for your reply...so it's ok to create a profile and say I have a years worth of experience before I actually do, in anticipation of meeting the 1 year requirement a few weeks further down the line? & then get invited on the basis that I had points for 52 weeks worth of canadian...

Hi, I created an express entry profile as I'm shortly approaching my 52 weeks of Canadian experience. I have had 2 separate jobs, one from 2022-03 (march) to 2022-05 (may) and my current job, 2022-05 to present (so 2023-03). I started job number 1 right at the end of March and left in early...

@punter123 Thank you. I'm not clear on what you mean by up to 3 weeks in addition to company holidays that we get - is the 3 weeks you mention not the same as company holidays that you've mentioned in brackets? So I have 15 days/3 weeks of official paid time off (in my contract) and then we got...

Hi all, I thought I was eligible for CEC and have been invited to apply. However, I recently have read that remote work for a Canadian company (salary paid in Canadian dollars, taxes paid to Canada) does not count towards the 52 weeks worth of experience as it was not in Canada. I was out of...
