You don't need to mention the work in work history if it is not adding CRS points. However you must mention this trip in your personal history and you will be asked to provide a police certificate from this African country because you stayed there 6+ months

I don't know about this particular agency, however, I have seen that most agencies charge a fair amount of money and expect you to do all the work of collecting document. Some agencies are not careful about incomplete documents and the application gets rejected. You are better off reviewing...

The number of applications reviewed in each draw depends on how many CIC staff is available to review applications. They can increase / decrease the number of CRS points required depending on their work load. Keep in mind that before the Express Entry system was created, CIC was overwhelmed by...

It is perfectly legal. However, you should use a reliable courier so it does not get lost.

It makes sense to get PCC now for all countries that you lived in for 6 or more months but no longer reside. Places like the United States take 15 weeks to produce a PCC so you should apply before the ITA comes. My opinion is that medical and PCC for the country you currently live in should be...

Well I also have NOC 0621. I'm quite sure I chose the right noc. I manage a retail location and decide it's staffing, marketing and inventory. My understanding of NOC 0621 is for proprietors who manage sales locations. I think if you are salesperson then 0621 may not be the best fit. Just my...

Cool skyhope, that is the same NOC as mine. We should stay in touch. My gmail address is 245east84@gmail.com. Based on my 4 years in the US, I found that changing jobs in the US is relatively easy in some industries where foreign workers are quite common e.g. Tech Industry and Management...

Also in case I relocate houses post-ITA but stay within the same city, how do I notify CIC of this change? Should I even mention any change of address within the same city because it does not effect my CRS score or the number of police certificates I need. Thoughts?

I wanted to know from people who have already received the passport stamp etc: Does CIC ever snail mail (use regular mail) to deliver anything to your house or is it all electronic? (interview request, request for passport, request for medical, etc) The reason I ask is because sometimes mail...

You are welcome. Well you may already know that once you are invited to settle in Canada, they give you the Green Card (permanent residence card) as soon you land in Canada. In fact they ask for your mailing address at the airport so they can send you the PR card. So if you are working in USA...

Congrats on this fortunate dilemma! Go ahead and accept the job in US and let them apply for the H1B. But at the same time you can apply for Canada PR. With a CRS score of 460+ you will definitely be given an ITA. Once you get the PPR you can land in Canada for only a week and you will get a...

Yes you can as long as your friend is reliable and they use a reliable courier service to send you the PR card. I read that if the PR card gets lost in the mail, it will be very hard to replace it.

If you visited a foreign country and lived there for 6 months then you should apply for the PCC immediately and it will be valid forever as long as you don't visit that country again. Some countries like the United States take 15 weeks to provide a PCC, so you want to start now. I have already...

I wanted to know, lets assume a person has received to ITA and has gotten all the approvals, etc. If a person finally receives the request for a passport and gets the visa stamp, when is the latest the person must Land in Canada? I believe you must land in Canada before your medical becomes...

Here is the link for the come to canada tool http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp However it says on the page: "We are experiencing system issues that may not allow certain nationalities to apply for an eTA. We are working to resolve this issue. Thank you for your patience."

Check out the link Stanlee posted above. There is no such thing as a 'positive' or negative ECA. It is just supposed to tell you what is your education equivalent to in Canada. You get more CRS points for higher education. For your friend, based on what you wrote, it would probably be considered...

Thanks! The actual test is very similar to the Cambridge IELTS series. The True/False/NG questions can be challenging especially when it comes to determining whether the answer is FALSE or Not Given. You only choose false if the information from the passage contradicts the question. However if...

Here are my notes from my practice. I went through Cambridge English IELTS books Vol 1-9 and recommend going through all those books. I scored R8.5, L8.5, W7.5, S8 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w65QcvLFLPzNiKulYe1VJHS8XVO28A1YRrNjGNZlmX0/edit?usp=sharing

I think every test taker is different. I actually did read the entire passage in the IELTS (general) reading test. In fact I had time to go to the bathroom in the reading section so it all depends. I think practice makes perfect on this test so get the Cambridge English IELTS series 1-9 and...

From the CIC website: "Translation of documents If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with a copy of the original document as well as a version translated by a certified translator." So you have to scan them both into one PDF...
