Hi, i have received my ITA. In the application I didn’t add my job in bangladesh in work history where I resigned 8 years ago. But its coming into my personal history section. Do I have to add it in work history as well? For sure it will add some extra hassle of collecting reference letter but if needed should collect the documents. Looking for your suggestions. Thanks

You don’t need to give proofs for personal history...you just need to show proofs for those you’re claiming points. So do give all real information in the personal history and on the LOE say that you didn’t claim points for those.

I am filling out my post ITA forms and I am stuck at address history. I am a CEC candidate and I have been living in Canada on and off for the last 10 years. I have moved back and forth between Canada and my home country. In the year 2011 I lived in my home country for a year, then again in 2017 and now since last year I have moved back to my home country after expiry of my work permit.

I have always lived at the same address in my home country.


Now my question is when filling out my address history do I put my home country address just once from the first time I moved back home up until now or do I put it three (3) separate times? If I only mention it once overlapping the whole 10 years would cic consider it as gaps?

Hi All,

I am trying to call BLS Ottawa for PCC (+1-613 755 2072) since yesterday to get the courier label created but there is no response from the number. Is this the correct #? VAS link on BLS site is giving error so I am not able to create labels.
Also, do we need to send the original passport for PCC? On the forum I have read mixed comments.
Thank you.

You don't need to send the original passport.

BLS in different jurisdiction has different requirements. Here BLS Toronto, doesn't require original passport. But i heard BLS Vancouver needs original passport. So it is better to check their official website (any media releases for Covid) for Ottawa.

Hi I received my ITA on APR 9, and my score was 495. I am only submitting my Eapr today after completing my 1 year experience. But when I previewd my score my points increased to 500.because 5 points got added for my spouse canadian experience. However he has still Not completed his 52 weeks and he was laid off temporarily due to covid for 5 weeks. I cannot wait for him to finish experience as it would be another few more weeks.. In this case can I explain this in LOE that his. Points got added automatically but he did not complete it yet or just remove his work experience so the 5 points are removed?

Please let me know. Thanks

Yo, congrates.

I don't think you should accept the ITA on April 9th, coz at that time you ain't complete 1 year. Also, your spouse has been laid off before he finishes 1 year work. So, sad. You can try to write an explanation letter, yet less chance RICC would accept. Coz so many ppl were laid off due to covid-19.

I feel that the safest way is to withdraw the current one, and then re-submit one more time. Your scores should be high enough to get ITA by next draw. Otherwise, you are taking the risk by providing incorrect/inaccurate info.

Anyway, these are only my opinion, wish you good luck.

OP should be okay since she submitted her eAPR after completing 1 year of experience. You can refer to this tweet from IRCC:

, just provide LoE

hi thanks for your reply. Yes as far as what I have read through everywhere, it looks like I can go ahead and submit EAPR as long as i have completed my 1 year of experience. Now my query is about my spouse experience where I have received 5 points for him, and he has not completed 1 year experience yet, but still it automatically calculated based on the work history that i populated for him. The problem is can i still go ahead and submit eapr when he has not completed, 1 year. the other thing is he has 1600 hours but 52 weeks is not completed. or can i remove his current job experience from teh work history so the points do not get claimed automatically. without his 5 points also i am still good with my crs score.

if your points are higher than the Minimum score for the round of invitation you’re invited in, then go ahead and remove his work experience. less supporting docs to provide.

Hi, I have questions with regards to LOE. Is it ok to submit it with each documents that need LOE or just one LOE for all? I mean like, if one employment reference needs LOE, I will attach the LOE to it, then another one for another reference, then another one for the POF, and so on. Those will juts be short LOEs. Would that be ok to do, or just provide one LOE in the client information?Thank you.
