Hi Legalfalcon,

Can you please advise me on the following:

My AOR is 16th August, 2017 and passport will expire on 27th August, 2018. This means by the time I receive PPR (if I receive), my passport will definitely have less than 12 months to expire and maybe less than 6 months to expire (if CIC takes more than 6 months to process my application). With regard to this:

1) Should I immediately apply for passport renewal and get the renewed passport before receiving PPR? In this case, my renewed passport will have address different from my old passport as the older one was issued while I was residing in my hometown. Since, my current address is in a different city than my hometown, would CIC raise an objection after seeing different addresses in old and renewed passports?

This is the best approach. The address does not matter and IRCC only needs a valid passport and not an address. When you get the renewed passport, raise a CSE and submit the new passport. With this you will save yourself time later and any stress to renew at the last moment.

Note - In my address history in e-AOR, I have provided my current address as my last residing address, thus, if I request for passport renewal now, it should ideally be my current address which should appear on my passport.



Appreciate if you can advise.

Thanks
Rahul

Hello @legalfalcon ,
As per your suggestion, I ordered GCMS notes but it will take few more weeks. Also I was unable to get any information regarding my eligibility status from CIC. The only information i received via email is that my file is at CPC OTTAWA. My additional document status is " The additional documents you provided are being reviewed" and my background status is "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check". I will be positively waiting for any updates as well as GCMS Notes but for now, Can i assume my eligibility is done by now ?

Thank you.
Regards.

The issue is that the eligibility is done in 2-3 different stages. First a program analyst reviews the documents, makes a note in the GCMS and recommends passed. Then is then reviewed by an officer who makes a final determination. So making an assumption is never a good idea, until you see it.

@legalfalcon do you have any idea, rumor, insider info, opinion, guess, anything at all ... as to why pnp application are so slow to process?

Feb, March and April applicants were slowed down. You cannot find any pnp applicant getting ppr in less than 5 months these days.

With the CRS not going done, many applicants have filed application with provinces to get PNP. This is why some provinces such as Ontario has to stop accepting application even from applicants whom they had given a NOI. When a Province grants a nomination, and after the application is filed with IRCC, post ITA, the province has to approve the nomination and send certain details to IRCC.

Since this process has become slow an provinces are not responding on time or taking to long, the PNP processing has become slow. This is my analysis and may not be the real cause, but the best explanation I can get.

Hi @legalfalcon
You are a gem and, although I know you are being bombarded by questions (you're some kind of saint), hopefully you'll have a chance to attend to mine.

I've asked this question in other threads, but I'm still looking for a more 'satisfying' response. Posters in this forum keep stating that investments, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. cannot count as Settlement Funds for purposes of satisfying requirements under the Federal Skilled Workers programme, because they are tied to the market and are too 'volatile' in value.

However, I have yet to find anything from IRCC specifically stating this. All I can find is that 'statements from investment accounts' is one of the supporting documents for proof of funds on CIC's website, and I've seen persons post email responses from IRCC where they state that 'cashable investments' are valid, but nothing specifies what types of Investments.

Persons on this forum have also been stating that holdings in real estate can be used as POF, even though I'm fairly certain that I saw on the CIC website that real estate couldn't be used.

Can you provide a ruling on this matter, or direct me to something from IRCC specifically that outlines if investments can or cannot be used as POF?

It is 6 months, but in case if your medicals expire before, then it will be until the date when your medicals expire.

Eg. if you get your PR visa issued on 1 sep, 2017, it sill be valid for 6 months if the medicals (valid for 1 year) expire after 6 months. However, if your medicals expire on Nov 15, then the visa will be valid from 1, Sep 2017 - 15 Nov 2017.

Thanks for reply. In my case, passport expires in 2025.
In e-medical it's written "This health case was submitted to IRCC on 01 Jul 2017."
So, it is valid upto 01 Jul 2018.
If visa is issued say 1 Sep then visa is valid until 1 Mar (six months). correct?

Also, im planning to leave this country (from where I applied) and go home and fly from there. Do I need to renew my PCC before I leave? Is it required in landing procedure?

Hello @legalfalcon
I have sent a message, can you please reply.
Thanks.

After the application is approved, it goes for final review and then it is sued up for PPR. The PPR is released in batches. So you may have to wait for a few days for the PPR.

Thanks, we got the PPR email from CPC-Ottawa this morning IST

Yes, you will need to update your new passport, as your application has the old passport number.

You mean I should raise a CSE or just an email updation would do?
I was reading some posts where people mentioned that they did not update the passport details to CIC and simply send it for stamping along-with the old passport.

Hy legalfalcon, I am claiming my work exp under NOC 4031/4032. I dont have B.Ed degree I had 2 yr bachelor degree when I started working as a teacher. And I completed 2 yr masters degree as well while working also.

Iqas deemed my education 2 yrs bachelors (before starting work) + 2 yrs masters (after starting work) combinely as 4 yrs bachelors in canada.

My bachelors major were accounts and business and masters major was economics.

So my questions are as follows.

Q1. I dont want to work as a teacher in canada as I know it requires B.Ed and further license as well I will try to find some job related to my education there. But I just want to use my work exp under express entry for points and eligibility as it is not illegal to work as a teacher in my country without B.Ed And I have all exp letters so can I claim my work exp points?


Q2. Date XYZ first became qualified to practice in this occupation
If the "primary occupation" is:
a qualified trade (four-digit code begins with 632, 633, 72, 73, 82, 92), this is the date they became qualified to practice on their own in Canada. (For example, when they moved from apprentice to being a licensed tradesperson.)
any other job, this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)

Which date should I write on it as my 2 yrs bachelors was completed in march 2015 and then I started working. And finished my 2 yrs masters in april 2017. And do the above paragraph mention that we should have to be qualified for the job we are doing? as I am no lawyer or doctor which requires specific degree.

Thanks

Please reply legalfalcon

I your application has passed eligibility and security then it may be pending a final review.

So i finally got the agent say that my application was approved with his congratulations... is there any other check before issuing a ppr?

@legalfalcon just a quick question regarding the required documents. Does it matter which office the letter is addressed to? For example. my employment reference letter is addressed to oinp is it ok to reuse the same letter for post ITA.
