*** CEC - Draw 176 - PR Application Submitted - Wait Times + Further Discussion

[NOC98]

I am one of the 27,000 lucky applicants for CEC.

I just submitted my application today February 23, 2021.

Is there any news or update on how are they gonna handle the 27,000 applicants? Is it still 6months processing?

Check the 2019 IRCC year end report, table 35, 80% of CEC applicants were processed in 7 months. That’s pre-covid. If your application gets processed in 6 months, consider yourself lucky.

Ok, thank you. Do you maybe know why on document checklist I am asked for post secondary diploma? I claimed points for high school and have WES for it. I didn't say in my profile that I have anything else other then high school. Got ITA under CEC.

Did you check your answers under the educational section? It’s weird that they’re asking for post secondary diploma when you only claimed points for high school education.

Yes, I did. Everything is NO and they still asking. Another weird thing is that CIC is asking same for my wife but for her I didn't claim anything, 0 points for education (reason: she didn't do WES). Not sure what to attach to that field. It's frustrating, not sure can they reject me because of this.

You can write LOE in this place and explain why you didn’t submit maybe you submit the Secondary school diploma for you and your wife.

Need advice!
1. Country of origin - Ukraine
2. Lived in Poland for 1 year while studying (so was my country of residence) and have a bunch of stamps as I was going back home every month to visit
3. Currently leaving in Canada (current country of residence) and went home twice so far to visit

so under my travel history, I don’t have to mention travels between country of origin (Ukraine) and country of residence- BUT!! Do they mean only current country of residence (Canada) or it includes previous country of residence as well (Poland)?
Basically, do I need to mention all of my 20 stamps between Ukraine and Poland while I was a student there (as Poland used to be my country of residence)

please help!!! Thanks!

For offer of employment, did you claim 50 points for job offer?? If yes, https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...express-entry/documents/offer-employment.html

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...-after-january-1-2016-completeness-check.html search for “letter of offer from employer”.

Country of residence here is the current one — so Canada. You have to provide your travels outside of your flights between Canada and Ukraine. So your travels to Poland should be included in the travel history.

Since it’s NOC C, you won’t get points for it anyway. I suggest to move it from work experience to personal activities section. So your document checklist won’t ask for a reference letter for this job experience.

Letter of employment - Below are the details
An employment letter is an official document printed on company letterhead stating that you will be employed in Canada by that company for a specified period of time. The employment letter must include your name, the details of your employment in Canada, and the company's contact information.

It may also include:

• details such as your tenure with the company
• your title, position and duties
• approved vacation periods (if travelling to Canada for holidays), or information about whether the company will cover all your travel expenses (if travelling on business for this company), etc

Offer of Employment - Below are the details
You must provide a job offer letter from the employer who wants to hire you. It must be printed on company letterhead, and state that you will be employed permanently in Canada by that company. The letter must specify whether the job is:

If he can add you as a dependent post ITA and before uploading the documents, you should be fine. Be prepared to prove that you both live together. Best would be to show that you both have a joint bank account, lease agreement/house in both your names, utility bills with both of your names, etc....
