Quick facts

• Because candidates must work in Canada when they apply, they have already proven their ability to fill labour market gaps.
• This pathway has a language requirement of at least level 5 for international graduates of a Canadian institution and level 4 for essential workers. These levels are set out in the Canadian Language Benchmarks and the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens.
• International graduates must have completed a program at an eligible Canadian post-secondary institution between January 2017 and the day they submit their application.
• Essential workers must have obtained at least 1 year of eligible full-time work experience or the equivalent in part-time work (at least 1,560 hours) in one or more of the designated professions listed within the public policies.
• Incomplete applications will be assessed based on the information provided. If they are refused due to incompleteness, processing fees will not be returned.
• Only applicants can access and upload their documents through the intake portal. Representatives cannot access the portal for their clients. This is because applications must be electronically signed in the intake portal.

We have to give biometrics again..

Can somebody clear this out for me? It says we must pay for biometrics then the link they mention says that we can be exempt if we gave biometrics within the last 10 years

 

[maurelo23]

Do we have to print the IMM's and sign/scan or is it going to be online?

Where did you find this?
Is there a document checklist where we can download and fill the forms beforehand?

 

[mpham123]

[ara_sj1001]

Guys, I have a question.

So today, they didn't release the information of which portal we need to create an account and upload all docs, right?
Any information for the online portal?

 

[immigrantsince2016]

Okay I am little bit confused if someone can guide me. Why do we need imm008 right now? Is there a link to where the portal will open tomorrow?

 

[Didingding]

do we have to print all out and sign in? but printing is just to sign right?

I think it's atrocious. How about new international student grads who haven't had the chance to get a job yet, but have been here for years and are skilled. How about those on maternity leave and those who couldn't get a new English test? It's not that inclusive at all.
