This is just my opinion, but I don't think it would be a problem. As long as you can document that you were working full time (i think CIC considers working more than 30hr/week as full time). you should be good to go.
Also is your MBA program evenings / part time? you can document that to clarify as well.. Though I don't really see the need.
good luck.

I would just like to add one more thing for education; I guess 15hrs per week or less is considered as part time. If work is full time and education part time then no worries

Well the thing is, I completed all my courses and cleared my thesis viva in June 2016 but didn't submit the final correction report for thesis up till now. Practically I was done with my MBA in June 2016 but didn't apply for the degree which I did now and started my full time job in Aug 2016.

While applying, do I have to mention that I completed all my courses and cleared my viva and while I started my full time job in Aug 2016, I passed out from the university and there was no need at my end to attend any classes whatsoever?

As I said earlier in my last reply to Jojji, I got done with my MBA in June 2016 but didn't submit my final thesis correction report up till now which I just did. After I got done with my courses and thesis viva, I started my full time job in Aug 2016 that is soon after completing my MBA courses and clearing viva.

Dear Woqi114,
1. Your work experience is straight forward and will be counted no worries, provided that you get reference letter as per CIC requirements.

2. Your educational duration for each semester is/will be mentioned on transcript; and final date of degree completion is/will also mentioned on transcript and on degree as well. These dates are/will be official and considered authentic as well. No need of such details like VIVA etc..while applying for credential assessment or for PR.

Thats great! Can you share more details about your case, AOR and current status? I am PNP too with August AOR.

Yes sure.

I applied for FSWP under Ontario nomination.
AOR: 21st May
Medical passed: 10th August

Got RPRF payment request on: 10th November; online status mentioned they need additional document (i.e., the RPRF payment online receipt)
I paid the amount online after a couple of days (the additional document request status changed to 'no more additional document required')

Current status: background check is in progress

On 21st November, it will be six months in total.

somehow I think Pakistani Applications are taking more time. I was reading other forums, some people are getting passport request only in 2 months. Or they have sped up the process recently.

NOC Code......

Does anyone know what is the usual local visa office for Pakistani applicants? Is it Abudhabi? or perhaps Islamabad?

Last year one of my friend got PPR request in three months! We have the same work experience; education; as well as the employer. In fact my case is more straightforward than his as he is married.

The only difference between his and my case is that he had PNP from Nova Scotia; which I don't think had anything to do with his quick PPR request.

I believe, It's because of the surge in ITA being given throughout 2017.

London as per CIC website. But each applicant may have different visa office. CIC is distributing application as per work load. Best way is to write an email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca with application details, they will inform you the exact visa office.

AOA everyone,
Nice to see you all coming together and helping each other

I have a question regarding Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) . I heard PCC is only required from the places you are lived in last 10 years. However, the same is not mentioned on CIC website (link given below)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp

So please help me figure this out. Should I get the PCC from where all the place I have lived throughout my life? or just for the last 10 years?
