Why if it says one or more and then at least 8 months.
I don't get that part, for me it isn't clear.
The 8 months is a reference to people who took two separate programs. If you took two separate programs that are at least 8 months each, you can add them together to get to the 16 months. If you only took one program, it must be at least 16 months long for you to qualify for the program.

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.
If you read the statement earlier, it says if your program lasted at least 8 months and you received one of these credentials: Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate, then you qualify.

If you have received any other acceptable credential, it should have a length of 16 months in total at least.

Chatty Lawyer livestream summary:

1- IRCC will upload the application guide anytime from now on, so we might not have to wait until May 6th after all
2- It won't use the same portal as AIPP, PNP, etc. Might look very similar.
3- Application wizard will generate the checklist for you
4- Imm 0008 is definitely going to be required, he says it's not going to be online so we'll have to use acrobat
5- Imm 0008, the drop down list issue: the program will be probably be under economic stream, there are chances they update it before May 6th.
6- Kinda fluff, but he mentioned there's going to be a lot of people asking for the day off or getting a sick day :')
7- He kinda hinted the stream will open during office hours
8- We're going to have to pre-register, complete and submit the applications. Until you submit you're not in. You must submit your complete application.
9- On the main page there's going to be the submission count, a number will be added/deducted every time someone clicks "submit application"
10- He recommends filling most of the generic
11- The policy states you must pay ALL FEES upfront, including RPRF
12- Application guide is expected sometime next week, he mentioned it might even come out today
13- You can apply on implied status
14- IRCC is trying to process inland applications as fast as possible, however, it is extremely likely that the new streams won't be processed as fast as CEC (average processing, 6 months)
15- You might be able to apply with a confirmation of graduation if you still don't have the physical diploma
16- No idea on how long the stream will take to fill
17- Electronic results of IELTS will work (email or online portal), you don't need your physical IELTS report.
18- All IRCC wants right now, is to meet the immigration quota
19- It's completely OK to pay the application fee right now
20- Reference letter should be less than 30 days old, he recommends us not to wait until May 6th to request it


Course mentioned no less than 15 times in 1h. He's slowing down.

IRCC tweeted about online forms.. I think this might be like Express Entry and not actually filling and uploading the forms

The foreign national must:

  1. Have completed, prior to the date on which the application for permanent residence is received and no earlier than January 2017, a program of study at one of the following “Designated Learning Institutions” in Canada as defined in section 211.1 of the Regulations:
    • a public post-secondary institution, such as a college, trade/technical school, university or in Quebec CEGEP
    • a private post-secondary school in Quebec that operates under the same rules and regulations as public institutions in Quebec
    • a private or public post-secondary institution in Quebec offering qualifying programs of 900 hours or longer leading to a diploma of vocational studies (DVS) or an attestation of vocational specialization (AVS)
    • a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees under provincial law but only if the program of study completed was a degree as authorized by the province, which may not include all programs of study offered by the private institution.
  2. Have been granted one of the following credentials, following the completion of a program study from an eligible institution as defined in a):
    • a degree (Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate) which must be a degree issued on completion of a program of at least 8 months in duration;
    • a degree, diploma, certificate, or attestation issued on completion of a program of any duration leading to an occupation in a skilled trade (listed in Annex A); or
    • 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).
      • For the DVS and AVS, each program of study must be at least 900 hours in duration and the combined program of study must be at least 1,800 hours in duration.
        • When combining one AVS with one DVS, the length of the AVS may be less than 900 hours if the combined length is at least 1,800 hours.
      • For greater clarity, each combined credential must meet the eligible program requirements as defined in a), including the completion no earlier than January 2017.
If you studied 16 months in “Designated Learning Institutions” in Canada, it does not matter what you study or which NOC you have.

They've stated "It is recommended" to pay the right for permanent residence upfront for future delays...there's no word "must". Here's the statement:

"We recommend you pay the right of permanent residence fee (CAN$500) now to avoid future delays. You will have to pay it before you become a permanent resident."
