Dear Legalfalcon,

I received a letter of interest from Ontario, but since my FBI is still under process I couldn't accept it and now its on hold. When will the provincial window open for HCP ? Whenever it opens will I be elgibile for the letter of interest I received in the past?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

RM

If you didn't claim no need to worry. You are good. As regards the digital picture, if you have passed R10, nothing to worry.

Thanks again!

I still have not I think. My AOR is July 28.

Hello LegalFalcon,

I am on a PGWP in Canada. I got AOR for my Permanent Residence application to IRCC as Provincial Nominee (paper based). I'm going to submit my BOWP soon because my work permit will expire in 2 months. If my BOWP is not approved, can I restore my status as a worker (after my work permit expired)? If not, how can I stay in the country working if my BOWP was rejected and my work permit expired?

My question was if it is ok to provide spouse educational details in the Spouse education even though I did not do ECA for her and not claiming points for her education.

One more query.

Is it mandatory to upload the back of the picture with e-APR. Walgreens gave me jpeg files of the photos which I uploaded directly. I have already submitted my application. Do I need to scan the back of the photo and send it with CSE?

As far as I know, for the online APR you only need to upload the front of your JPEG image. The front and back instructions are for older paper based application when people used to send the hard copies of their pictures.

Hi,

First of all thanks for your previous advises. I got ITA now.

Only i am applying and have non accompanying dependents. There is a question which asks "Is your first child included in this application"?

In the previous pages i have given the name and other details. I think i have to answer "No" to this question.

Please advise.

TIA

Dear Legalfalcon, I have a question. I wrote an email to CIC on their ottawa email address to check where my application was being processed and the following day i got their reply saying that "Your application has been approved and a ready for visa letter with instructions will be sent shortly". Its been two days and i haven't heard back from CIC; no PPR or anything. Shall i call them and check with them on the status or what else do you suggest?

If your passport will be valid for less than 6 months, IRCC will not issue a PR visa on it. It is better that you renew your passport now and update it via CSE and send them the bio pages.

A follow up to a previous question on passport validity.
I have renewed my passport and will be updating IRCC with the same ASAP. Have there been cases where this has been done before? Any chances of a rejection?

Hi @legalfalcon

Firstly, thanks for the showing us this link - https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/
It is pretty comprehensive.

I do have a few questions.

I have submitted by eAPR yesterday and have made the payment to IRCC. Received official receipt from them within 24 hours. I am currently using an agent to manage my application and they have forwarded me the receipt as well as application number for my tracking.

1. As I was given this link: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en&_ga=1.194857517.142288795.1483088046 to check my application, after I keyed in my application number, it shows no records found yet. Will we have any idea how long when will something be reflected that my application have started processing?

2. After all the necessary checks have been done, COPR and Passport chopped reading for 1st landing - will the 1st landing be 1 year from the time my medical check up was done (In July) or 1 year from the time IRCC states medical passed (which is probably any date from now). Need to get this part clear as there is a couple of weeks/months difference between these 2.

3. 1st Landing - My agent took my info that I will be landing in Toronto. But if for any reasons, I would like to land in Vancouver, any impact/issues when I do my 1st land?

Thanks for your advise.

Hi @legalfalcon ! Someone from the WhatsApp group formed by the latest draw ITA holders told me to consult you and I searched for you and I'm here.. I've received the express entry ITA on 2nd of August.
In a nutshell, my wife is the primary applicant and her father submitted the equivalent of CAD 15k to her account just one day before the ITA. We've got the gift deed prepared and also ready to show the agreement of sale of her father's house through which he got the money. But my fear is that this might not be sufficient. I'm also ready to show another CAD 15K in my account (I'm accompanying spouse) that my mother transferred to me about 2.5 months back for which also I have the gift deed.

I don't want to go wrong with the POF and screw up my application. We have 479 CRS points.

Many thanks!

Hi @legalfalcon

I have two questions:

1. I have to submit Japan police certificate. I received the document and it says "envelope to be opened by addressee only". I searched online and apparently, some people scanned front/back of the envelope and uploaded it and asked for permission to open or an address to mail it - and some other people opened the envelope and scanned the certificate. So far I have not heard of any option that has actually worked. What would you recommend?

2. I realised I have quite a few LOEs in my application (for police certificate, for work experience and a couple more). What I have done is including the letters in every placeholders which they belong to. For instance, I included a LOE for my first job, together with all other documents (employment confirmation letter, pay stubs etc..) I uploaded in the placeholder dedicated to this first job.
Is that the right thing to do or should I upload all LOEs in the "LOE" placeholder? In this case, it would be more difficult for the Officer to understand I guess.

Thanks for any advice you could provide.
matt

Dear Legalfalcon,

I have a query, while creating the Pre ITA profile I mentioned 2 NOC Codes:
2173 - 26 months 2011-2013
2171 - 18 Months - 2015-2017 (In between I was studying)

However, I have mentioned my Primary NOC Code as 2171 (just 18 months).

During POST ITA application do you think it is beneficial if I change my Primary NOC code to 2173 to ensure I meet FSW criteria and mention that in my LOE? 2173 would put me in a better position for my FSW points.

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
