OINP - Employer Job Offer : Foreign worker stream

[phanikiran.kara]

When you say you have booked your flight, have you already got another Visa to Canada?

Not really, booked flight 3 months ago assuming it just takes 2 weeks to apply for WP. However, just like everyone else, the lawyers screwed me, by taking their own time to apply for the permit. They took 1.5 months to file it, on 26th Feb for something that potentially takes 1.5 days. As of today it has no progress with promised timeline mentioned as 3 weeks. Lets see.

Due to corona virus, the non-refundable, non changeable flight has become a 1 time free change ticket. . Talking of Corona, how bad is the situation there? Here in California, we are working from home for the next few weeks.

I've done and sent my Canadian police check with the PR process.

Oh.. they don't ask for it right? Do they?

where did you do it? the letter doesn't states if it's only me or my husband too... did you sent for both of you?

 

[chivinas]

Interesting. I thought they can do it internally and always check the records themselves within Canada.

I just read this in other thread:

IRCC automatically runs name-based Canadian criminal record checks on ALL applicants, which is why you do not need to provide one for Canada.
However, if the name-based check comes back with a criminal record (meaning, someone with the same or similar name or same DOB has a criminal record), IRCC then requires a fingerprint-based criminal record check to determine whether or not, is the person with the criminal record.

I have 2 questions. What happens with the process if you:
1) get pregnant
2) get promoted (new duties, title, salary)
AFTER nominee is received (so let's say your application is already in the 2nd phase, you have nomination and now applied for PR but it takes a while; during that time so many things can happen!)
So scenario 1 and 2 - will it cancel your application? What are the right steps to take? Any advises just to be prepared?

Thank you

We both did. At a Regional Police Station, very fast. I think it was 30cad each.

 

[Fonca]

Oh.. they don't ask for it right? Do they?

When I've read the description about police records, I thought they meant both my country's and here, considering that I've been here for more than 2 years. That's why I did.
Then I read around that it was not necessary and I thought, oh well - it's already done...

1) Nothing happens. Take care of yourself and enjoy your pregnancy .

But after the birth, use the webform of IRCC to inform them ASAP with details. Since kiddo will be a Canadian citizen, nothing much to be done except inform them (Will increase the proof of funds value). Not sure of any other implication. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

2) I have this question too. If in the same NoC, but more salary, then it may be ok. But in any case, we need to inform OINP and ask them for further steps. ontarionominee@ontario.ca

I don`t think they are asking for the same type of criminal check that @Fonca got. Because I already got a criminal check here in the police station for job purposes and they didn't get my fingerprints. And you said that in the letter received it is written "RCMP Criminal Record Check: You must provide a certified RCMP criminal record check based on fingerprints ".

I don`t know if there is more than one type of police check in the police stations based on fingerprints or not. If I were you I would check the website they indicated in the letter to get it right.

I dont understand why you booked flight. Do we need to book a flight for the work permit? I hadn't done one but submitted application for Work Permit

Regarding Coronavirus in Australia, everyone is panicking. People are stockpiling food and toilet paper. People are still working from Office.

Yes, I've already found out. There are two different background checks. One of them is based on name and DOB, and the other one is plus fingerprints. The first one is the one that runs IRCC, if they find a match (name or DOB), they ask you to go to get the other one, based on fingerprints. Both of them can be done at the police stations or there are some private authorized companies that also do it.

Q [1] Was already answered 10 pages back.
If child born after PR is different story but born while PR is in process, It needs to be communicated to IRCC by web-form. They will ask you to provide baby's birth Cert, Passport and the $150 fee receipt to add a new application which you will pay on their website. All these 3 documents should be sent in a single PDF upload that they will active for you. Also, make sure to provide bank statement /letter (supporting document) that will tell you have sufficient balance for the new family composition. This will not cancel or delay your application but surely will appreciate honesty.

Agree. Some applicants who are living in Canada from the past 2 years or more have not received RCMP request. IRCC apply certain factors to determine who needs RCMP. If no RCMP request received and BGC is already in process (and profile says that), that's perfect.

Some applicants decided to do RCMP up-front (even before filing), but still received bio-metrics request.
