Hi @legalfalcon,

Need your help in understanding the consequences:

Aug 2020 - AOR, Eligibility - Conclusive Passed, Criminality - In Progress

In CRS, I included the 50 points for the Job Offer from my current employer. Due to the pandemic, my employer planning for lay-off which means I might not have the job offer. Since my eligibility is conclusively passed. Can I change the job by applying for the BOWP?

You can surely apply for a BOWP, that is not an issue at all. However, when you change your job, you will have to inform IRCC, and with the job offer withdrawn, your eligibly can be reevaluated. However, if you can file a job and form an employer willing to give you a job offer that is valid for at least 1 year from the date you become a PR, you can send that along with the change of job to IRCC.

Thanks, @legalfalcon. Appreciate your support.

CRS Cut-off was 464 when I received the ITA. If I removed 50 points (Job Offer) then I'm on 432, which means I'm in trouble. Need inputs on few more questions, please.

1) Currently I'm on a closed work permit with an IT firm (CEC - 2 yrs exp). In order to secure the points, any job offer will work OR its LMIA specific only.
2) Can it be a better decision to withdraw the application and apply again? With CEC @ 432, I will easily get the invite in upcoming rounds and freedom from this closed work permit.

Need your insight.

1. Any job offer will work, as long as the work reference letter states that the job offer to you is "at least one year after [IRCC] issue your permanent resident visa" See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/offer-employment.html

2. It is not required. Though you can create a new profile. But since your current application has already passed eligibility, you should get a COPR soon.

Did you give biometrics before in the last 10 years, if you did, then you are exempt form giving them again. IRCC has informed that if you have given biometrics in the last 10 years, you are exempt from giving them again. To check if your previous biometrics are valid, you can check the status at <https://onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/extapp/bioStatusQuery?fbclid=IwAR2XOMUJJMcdwNWG8awkgF_u7OGylXTxRqhCM_g23tSqq1uJVhC2KyRv1aI>

Thanks for the reply! Did not gave Biometrics in last 10 years or so.

Thanks for the reply! Did not gave Biometrics in last 10 years or so.

Then you will have to wait for the instructions. You can also read out to IRCC and ask why you haven't been asked yet.

@legalfalcon, I am silently following this group for a long time, and special thanks for solving our queries.

I am almost in the same boat. Can we go for a new profile to secure ITA with a low score, without withdrawing the existing (i.e. continuing) one and later withdraw the old one (as in this case because of job offer risk).

Thanks a lot! Just one more for clarity.. Shall I raise web form or can be checked by calling IRCC.... If link etc can be shared. Shall I do it now or wait for Canada VFS centres to open in India.

Meanwhile in India since March 2020 till Oct 2020, CanadaVFS centres were shut, they were opened in Nov2020 and there was a huge backlog of Biometrics for students and Spousal cases...1L.That's cleared but due to 2nd Covid wave, again now Canada VFS centres in India are shut from 1st May.

Paper file location : Registry
Does this mean that no one is working on your file?

My App status is Open
Reason- TFR Clearances
Any idea because my security and criminality is already passed.

They will be exempt under extended family unification for which they will have to apply for an authorisation to travel.

Yes, you can have multiple profiles. However, once you submit an application, you should withdraw other profiles.

You can either call or send webform, webforms will have a more concern information as they are written responses.

Hi @legalfalcon , how possible is it for an OINP application to be refused for having spent considerable time in QC during the last 3 years as a tourist (2-5 months/year), since there is a field to declare it on my application ? What about an Express Entry application getting refused for the same reason? Thank you!
