That is why in CEC there is no "skilled" word, lol! Jokes aside (I know that all people invited deserved it), CEC candidates have proved that they are adapt and willing to live in Canada long term, while FSW, especially outland, have always a higher chance to give up and leave.

Wow, I noticed your signature. Your application has been processing for a yaer? Has it really slowed down this much?
And I think you mean adept. Look, I'm not making any statements on who does or doesn't deserve it. By definition, candidates with post graduate degrees and 3 years work experience are better qualified than those with just an undergraduate and one year of exp (or even a shorter diploma with 1 year exp). You have already gotten the ITA, so it's easy for you to be neutral, and for those without ITAs and significantly higher scores to be bitter. That's all I'm saying. But like I said in a previous post, I decided to work towards it despite the unfairness of the system, and now I just need to wait for the ITA.
Yes, I see your point and your attitude is definitely the right one. Things slowed down a lot and we can expect them to be slow for few months still (this is the reason of my long wait), but they will eventually go back to normal.
At least they have a NOC 0, A or B job. How many ppl as a FSW with Master or Phd degree do you think will get a skilled job in Canada? For myself, I got a Degree of Civil Engineer back home and 3 year Canadian diploma of same field. Now i am working in the Structural Company as a steel detailer. If I dont have a diploma here, who would want to hire me ? The degree or certification from back home I would say is useless for most of employers.
It may be difficult to find a job matching your experience and skills, especially at first, but it is not impossible. It may take a couple of years, but you will eventually get there!

No, I gave biometrics in July (after offices reopened, I was scheduled for March). My application wasn't touched since April 2020, officially for lack of available agents. Most of the applicants from November 2019 to May 2020 are in a similar situation, especially if FSW (some CEC is stuck there too). Newer applications are somehow being processed faster, but still slower than pre-pandemic.
I would assume that things will be back to normal when you receive your ITAs, but be aware that 6 months processing time will not happen. If I was you I would assume a 12 months window at least, from AOR to CoPR. I do not want to be pessimistic, but it is better to be prepared to wait longer and be pleasantly surprised by an early CoPR than keep waiting and being disappointed!

Yes, absolutely. I am currently just assuming a 12 month processing period. I have all my documents ready to go so I can get an AOR immediately after accepting the ITA.
That is a good approach. I would suggest to do the medical exam at the last possible moment, after receiving ITA (assuming that you are doing the upfront medical exam). They are valid for 1 year only and you need a valid medical exam when landing. They can extend them for 6 months or 1 year, depending on the country of residence and on the results of the original exam, but you may be ask to do them again if you do them too early.

Oh interesting, I didn't know you could extend it in some cases. I was planning on doing it as close to the AOR as possible. Thanks for the tip!
The medical extension solely relies on the the re-assessment by the medical officer after your medicals have expired. Some applicants get an extension, some are requested to do their medicals again.
IEC pool is for working, not permanent residence. Not sure what you mean?
Hello Everyone, I hope everyone is doing great and busy completing EE application.
I have one query if anyone has similar scenario.
Does anyone know what documents can be provided to IRCC to prove sibling relation? There are lot of websites that states birth certificate would be acceptable but both mine and my brother's birth cert. is in different language. Can we also provide scanned copy of passport since it mentions father's name?
Any response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you!
