    Express Entry - e-APR submitted in December 2016

    In my case, I had the following from the financial side. Be warned, though that a lot of the list below is really overkill - it's just that I tend to hoard all my documentation anyway and am borderline obsessed with filing things, so here goes: * Gift Deed Letter from Dad (notarized), showing...

    Express Entry - e-APR submitted in December 2016

    Actually in my case I was quite surprised, because the medicals were the last thing I did (6th December 2016). I proceeded to complete the filing on 10th December 2016 and received my Acknowledge of Receipt the same day, almost instantaneously after I completed the payment. Considering that's...

    Great confusion regarding Police verification. PLease help!!

    Correct - in my case, I work in Mumbai but my permanent address is listed in Bangalore. I did consider getting it done in Mumbai itself, but realized that the extra hassle wasn't worth the time off and potential future complications and I wanted to go see my parents, so I just decided to fly...

    Express Entry - e-APR submitted in December 2016

    Considering you were travelling on (presumably) a Schengen visa and there's no real "record" of your travel to Belgium and Nederlands (they'd have told you disembark if the Border agents felt you were not allowed to travel on your visa), I think your record of Paris (entry and exit) should be...

    Express Entry - e-APR submitted in December 2016

    Since we're opening up a discussion about this, thought I'd also put my observations and data gathered so far, so as to incite further discussion from other folks and save everyone's time. :) Regarding banks: I've seen those threads. General consensus seems to be quite mixed. Most people...

    Express Entry - e-APR submitted in December 2016

    I finished my application and put it in processing on 10th December. According to a consultant I was speaking with, she said that typically, barring any request for further documentations, one should expect to plan sending in the passport for stamping around the first - second week of March...

    1804 ITAS CRS 475

    I got my ITA yesterday - pretty much instantly, actually. I was on my way back home from work when the email from CIC popped up. I guess it's off to the next step then :) Sixty days to put to good use for all that paperwork. Congratulations to all that have gotten in, and for those that...

    D-Day today! Much Awaited 1st Draw of September!

    Ladies and gentlemen, regardless of what happens - I hope all of you are doing good and are continuing to improve yourselves in the meantime. While there is convincing evidence on both sides that debate on the issue of whether or not the statement the CIC official made is true or not...

    PEI PNP, who applied ?

    Hi vivek, It would seem that applications submitted post July haven't really seen any recorded responses in general, so it's likely that the PEI PNP program is temporarily on hiatus. It's possible that maybe we could get some more clarity on this thread in case other folks who have also...

    "Ray of hope" thread for 41st draw.

    So the next drawing is on the 24th, yes?

    40th Draw - Ray of Hope

    It's actually interesting, if you think about it. If the prevailing theory that the CIC is, in fact, clearing a backlog then this means that by now, a bulk of the lower segments have been covered, meaning that this recent jump to 490 is a sign that it's reached a stage where there might simply...

    40th Draw - Ray of Hope

    Then you have nothing to worry about! No matter what the draw is, you would still be getting that sweet,sweet ITA what with the 600 extra points! Congratulations! or should I say, "Mabrouk"? ;D

    Job Bank Matching Is A Scam / We're Fools to Believe it!

    To be honest, even I have no clue what that's like :D In my mind, I'm totally going to be imagining you have a super niche job like this guy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtFH2bFCfg :P

    Points added because of discussion threads- Thank you every one

    Congratulations on hitting 481, Rakesh! Don't stop there, though - you should next look up Provincial Nomination Programs (PNP) and see if any of the provinces give special preference for your chosen field! If that is the case, your possibility for an expedited PR application process could be...

    Is there a need for hiring an Immigration attorney or consultant

    I'm using a consultant as well, but this is the right approach. I've done freelancing work in the past, so after a lot of research myself, much like what volodyalysak said, I got a consultant purely from a peace of mind point of view. I sat down with them, negotiated the deal and made it very...

    40th Draw - Ray of Hope

    Yep, 481. The best part is that a few days ago, I had a deep conversation about my future plans with my current boss (and CEO of the company) - I thought it was the responsible and right thing to let him know about the possible timelines in the event that he needs to hire someone to replace me...
