Hi all,
I think today there will be a CEC draw. Until what time can one apply for the CEC to be considered in the today’s pool?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!
Please give me an advice on my situation. Please help!!

Im currently in the process of getting PR through express entry. I got ita, aor, submitted application and just waiting now.

The problem is that i am out of status and in 90 day period since my iec work permit expired. I have applied for restoration of status as visitor but i havnt heard back yet. Now i am wondering if this will affect my express entry application if my restoration is not done in time. Does anyone have any idea on this? Super panic mode:'(

I am also wondering about the duration of visitor status. I wrote down that i will be in canada for 6 months on the restoration application, because i thought that would be enough time to get my pr approved. Now i am thinking that may not be enough time. Does anyone know if ircc gives the visitor status as it is written on the application?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I am in the same situation as you right now.
Could you please let me know how did it worked out for you?
Did you get your status approved first or received PR first?
Please share your timeline.
Much Appreciated.

Thank You.

Hi, I am in US on H1B visa. My visa stamp has expired but I have an approved I797.
I have also received a COPR(validity till Nov 25th 2021) and Immigrant visa stamp on my passport. However, my passport was also expiring, so I applied for a renewal in the US from SFO embassy and got it renewed. Now I have a new passport and my COPR and Immigrant visa are still related to the old passport. Also, I am in Seattle, so I can visit a port of entry by road.

I have the following question :
1. What are the next steps in terms of "landing process" that I need to do in order to ensure that I can get the PR card ? What documents do I need to carry to the port of entry ?
2. Are there any changes/additions to the process due to COVID ?
3. Can I visit canada port of entry by road and return back to US if I have the expired H1B stamp ? I believe the process is called "Automatic Revalidation". Is that still applicable during COVID times ?

Hi All,
I did my softlanding in June 2019 and came back to home country after getting my PR card.
In December 2019 I got married. Due to covid I could not migrate to Canada.
But I updated my passport to add my spouse name.


Now I am planning to migrate early next year ( March 2022).
1. When I migrate permanently, will there be any problem as I will only have 2 years 6 months out of 5 years of PR ?

2. Do I need to raise a Webform to inform IRCC about the passport change ?
3. Do I also need to provide my spouse details , like date of marriage and spouse passport details ?
4. What else should I need to inform them ? Like why I couldn't migrate in 2020 or 2021?

Note: I am planning to apply for spouse sponsership visa after I land.

1. No
2. No need if you have PR card
3. Get your spouse a TRV for now so that she can travel with you and once you land in Canada, Apply for Spousal Visa
4. No need

Good day ,
I already got a ITA on basis graduation (2012) degree WES evaluation . Later I had forwarded my PHD degree(2015) for WES evaluation but university respond the WES that PHD degree non-authentic .WES has cancelled my order and informed to all concern parties as a "Fraud " degree. Than I have been to university with my PHD records than re-check university old records and found degree are genuine. University had re-send a positive verification report to WES now WES is not activating my account.
What i suppose to do ?
Do I cancel my PR application and first sought out WES matter?

If you do not have a valid ECA, your application will be refused... Better fix your ECA first.

Would I need to informed IRCC for borrowing a time to fix up ECA issue ? Not sure how much time will take fix up ECA issue, Getting afraid that IRCC will reject the file by the time or I need to send LOE tp IRCC about this matter.

Renewing Education Credential Assessment takes only 7 days at WES. Apply Permanent Residence application once you get Education Credential Assessment with new details. You will get an option to edit. So no need to write any LOE.

When did exactly you receive your WES Education Credential Assessment for Graduation? Which year?

Graduation ECA reference No. is different with PHD but using a same WES account.
If you received your Graduation ECA. You can still use it... You can update your PhD education under personal history.
