to be honest, I have no idea, sorry, latest update on my account was on April 4th, so I assume it changed at that time.

Hi all,
I've received an ITA in late March, and plan to submit my application. I have a question and any help is much appreciated. It is regarding the NOC codes;
I have an engineering background and a PhD from outside Canada. I was paid during my PhD, and we didn't have any courses and it mostly was research, characterisation and experiments. I claimed the NOC code for my PhD experience the same as my background in engineering since I thought it also matched the job duties. In addition to that, I wanted that NOC code to be my primary/intended occupation (currently, I am a postdoc, and rather to have the engineering as the primary selection instead of the postdoc).
I was wondering whether it would be alright? has anyone had a similar experience and was it successful? I haven't yet accepted or declined the ITA.
What would be the best course of action in this case?
Thanks

Usually after R10 pass (MEP/BIL) you get permanent identifier for your application.
Eligibility is showing "in progress" on the tracker today (Security stilll not started). Nervous...
I am saying this in a good faith. Please don't get offended. But, I don't know what's wrong with applicants here. You are sharing super sensitive data in terms of timelines and then are sharing your phone numbers with random people. There are literally profiles created who post Whatsapp group links in a matter of minutes. There's so much that you can lose by disclosing your contact info.

I'm not recommending you do it in Shoppers. They are not professionals in this case. I tried a few times and all the time they failed. I am very happy with the London drugs photo service. Also you don't need to pay for the flash drive. They will send you your digital copies by the link. Please consider this.
yeah just figured London Drugs is better and cheaper. Wonder what is up with Shoppers. Don't they know it is 2023 yet?
Congrats on the next steps @phaijalkhan ! Welcome to the thread @MiracleCSEP !
I have a quick update on my side too. I did my fingerprints today!
Thus I have finally completed everything that I needed to do for this application. Now I hope IRCC will do their part in a timely manner too
The fingerprints appointment was a great experience, the people there were very nice. My appointment was at 11 am and I think I was the first person that they fingerprinted today because I had to wait for them to start the computer. Then after the appointment they took a few minutes to talk to me about the next steps. Even tho I am quite knowledgable about the next steps it was very nice of them to spend a few extra minutes to explain this. Then a few hours later I saw that my biometrics was linked in my GCKey already. I suppose the fingerprinting people link the biometrics, not IRCC.

Yeah, VFS (or whatever you used) has some sort of automated process in place for linking biometrics. No way IRCC does it so reliably and consistentlyI suppose the fingerprinting people link the biometrics, not IRCC.
Thank youCongrats on the next steps @phaijalkhan ! Welcome to the thread @MiracleCSEP !
