    Applying for CEC while on Restoration of Status

    For the CEC class, you either qualify at the time you apply, or you don't. There is no requirement that you remain in Canada during processing. So, no, there is no requirement that you keep a valid work permit during processing. However, as a general rule for all, if you are in Canada, you...

    LMO Looks average, Should I even try to extend my PGWP?

    phathalo's point is that in the case of someone originally hired under PNP, the employer does NOT need to do any of that. But on the LMO application form, where it asks about recruitment efforts, they do need to indicate that the employee was originally hired under the PGWPP and check "yes" on...

    NOC question, which is better to choose 0213 or 2173 (software dev. related)

    You will have to work for 2 years in Canada BEFORE you can apply through CEC... with the FSW2, you don't have to wait... Either NOC code is eligible for either program. 0213 - managerial occupations - tend to focus on management of PEOPLE, not technical stuff. 2173 is probably better....

    Applying for CEC as well as PNP

    Are you saying you didn't sign this form? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm0008_4e.pdf "Forever" is a bit much, but can't see what the expectation is for Saskatchewan (I think it's at least one year fo Quebec, for example). But if you plan to get citizenship, you should probably...

    Confused about eligibility under NOC level B!!

    Well, for starters, there's nothing stopping CIC from verifying it with your employer - They don't do this for everyone, but can do it if the need is determined. Second, the worked "telemarketing" is kind of a give-away. Third, they will have the name of the company you work for - a quick...

    Confused about eligibility under NOC level B!!

    That IS the difference between wholesale and retail - retail sales are sales to the general public. Wholesale is sales to other businesses... Unfortunately, HRSDC/CIC think wholesale = skilled, and retail = unskilled. READ the NOC description for 6221 - it has WHOLESALE in the title. So no...

    LMO on PGWP....JesON plz shed some light!

    I doubt you can "make" your manager to do anything :) I suggest that you have a discussion with your manager, tho, show both NOC descriptions and ask if they would be comfortable writing a letter that emphasizes the broker duties. Since your application is already in process, I suppose...

    Police Clearance from Canada?

    No, not as a general rule. CIC will conduct a name-based criminal records check on you (for Canada). If it comes up "no record" like most of us, then that's the end of it. Unfortunately, some people have the same name as others who have a criminal record, and they are later requested to...

    CEC refusal

    No, it states very clearly in the document checklist that documents will not be returned. There is no refund of the application fee; only the RPRF (if you paid that) can be refunded if your application is refused. The only exception is if your entire package is returned to you because it is...

    New Jersey Police Clearance Cert. Clarification

    Many (most?) but not all states have integrated their criminal records data with the FBI's. This is two requests for New Jersey, so it's probably a good guess that New Jersey is one of those that has not.. (I assume you have already provided an FBI certificate).

    NOC question, which is better to choose 0213 or 2173 (software dev. related)

    There are 2 categories of Federal Skilled Worker - FSW 1 - must be on the list of 29 occupations FSW 2 - must be a skilled occupation (both NOC 2173 and 0213 are skilled), with a permanent job offer So you would be fine with FSW2 if your employer will write you a letter offering you...

    Does Any one submitted CEC Application from India **Please Help me*****

    So yes, there is a transitional or grace period - if you submit it to New Delhi before Jan 31, they won't return it to you, but they won't do anything with it either, just forward it to CIO-Sydney; after Jan 31, they'll simply send it back to you. I suppose it is up to you, but I wouldn't want...
