I think 4 mandatory forms for all programs are:
1. IMM 0008: Generic
2. IMM 5406: Additional family
3. IMM 5562: Your travel
4. IMM 5669: schedule A
Be careful with this one, don't fill it beforehand because it'll probably get updated. There's a category where you have to select under what program you're applying (drop down list) and last time I checked, still no updates.

We might get that form updated tomorrow (?)

Does the IRCC do updates over the weekend? I've been preparing for a couple of days of no news

Chatty lawyer is making a new livestream in 1h or so, called "NEW UPDATE: Payment portal and FORMS!" If you guys are too busy or don't feel like spending +1h watching that, I'll make a summary of what I consider the key points.
I'll watch as well, but thank you for your work!

Your views please:

My job is full time, temporary and renewable every six months.

My employer just sent my confirmation of employment, and mentioned an end date of Sept 2021.
Will this be a problem?

Im a graduate from 2020, studied a full year in a post grad certificate.
I am currently working as a cashier.
Am I eligible to apply under the graduate stream?
I read this part but it isn't clear for me.

one or more diploma/certificate/attestation where the following conditions are met:
  • For diplomas/certificates/attestations, each program of study must be at least 8 months in duration and the combined length of the credential(s) must be equivalent to a two-year credential (at least 16 months in duration).
I have one certificate and my program lasted more than 8 months, so I would be fine right?
Thanks.

Did your program total at least 16 months?

It lasted 12 months, that's the part I don't have clear cause it says one program that lasted at least 8 months. Sooo, I don't get it.
Your programs need a combined total of at least 16 months. Each program must be a minimum of 8 months long. Sorry, I don't think you're eligible.
