New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

When I applied for PNP I was asked for it, when I got an ITA I got asked for it (see attached, it's my personal EE checklist):

It might not be required, but there are forms that ask you if you have any National ID and if you say "no" when your country does issue them, that might be considered misrepresentation. IDK, maybe I'm overly cautious but I've heard so many stories about applications rejected for the most ridiculous reasons that I want to make sure my application is 100% dummy proof.

They ask this for study permit and work permit applications too. If you have it say yes, if you don't say no.

Yea that's PNP. I haven't seen any residency applications asking for national ID.

You don't need it if you don't have one of course. Sometimes, these documents can only be issued within the country itself. I've been asked for it for both study and work permit applications and I simply check the box "No" because there's no way I can get it.

It can be part time.

Does diplona need to lead to employment in Annex A?

yea in my case I just gave them the number, and they didn't ask to see the copy

It's an EE CEC ITA (mine, not just some random image from the internet), I applied for PNP on paper last year and it's on the paper-based checklist. For national ID's they must be translated and then notarized.

Hi guys! Let’s say the applicant is moving to another employer while his/her application is in process. Do you think it will affect his/her application?

Any comments?

 

[rambag98]

Any comments?

Personally, I think not.. the idea is to be employed at the time of application and at the time of approval, so I don't see why this would be an issue.

 

[ahm756]

Any comments?

No, it won't affect. If you read the requirements in the link below, it says you have to be employed "at the time of the application". So I believe they don't care if you move to another job as long as you were employed when applying.

Now I wonder if the documents need to be true copy

I don't know anymore, my brain is so fried.

After re-reading the CICnews announcement (says that applications are either approved or declined, not returned) I'm extremely paranoid and I want to make my application as perfect and dummy-proof as possible.

For my travel history I even used a date to date calculator to make sure I type in the exact dates of my trips with not a single day gap, I even included layover flights where I didn't get passport stamps. IRCC's travel history form (printed) goes on a YYYY/MM format and then makes you type in the number of dates. Besides that, I created a separate chart on my LOE with the exact dates and days (which I can use in case this program has a drop-down format like EE).

I was able to book a medical for the 10th of May, does anyone know if I can upload the results later? Is an upfront medical even necessary?

What form are you using for travel history?

 

[captainarabiia]

We could all wait to get the checklist, no way IRCC is gonna leave us stranded. They would do that in an effort to make sure ineligible not apply out of FOMO. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a week before.

We don't know.

Medicals are not IELTS, when you go for an upfront exam you get a form with a number the same day. The results are uploaded 10-15 days after the medical but you only need to scan the form the doctor gave you. That form has a number and when the results are out, IRCC can check that number and access your medical exam results.

Let's say you take your medical on the 5th, you can upload the form on the 6th even if the results won't be available until the 15th-20th.

We're 10 days away, a week before would be Wednesday. I'm also expecting a checklist or some kind of announcement otherwise the stream opening is going to be chaotic.

Thank you, this explains a lot! I've been calling around to see if I can get an earlier medical and will know later this week. If the results are usually available later anyways, maybe IRCC will be a bit lenient, especially with the healthcare sector under such strain.

Any ideas on whether the photography must be taken by a commercial photographer or can be DIY? For temporary permits I've always taken my own picture (graphic designer here, hehe) and haven't had any issues, but in the application guide for PR applications it says two identical pictures and one of them needs to have the details from the photo studio that took it in the back (got asked for this with PNP paper-based)...while EE guide just says the same specs as TRV, which means it can be DIY
