    US-based applicants, let's connect here

    Plug in your information to the CRS calculator. If your are near or above 430 points (this is an estimate based on past cutoffs; it may change in the future), your chances of getting PR through express entry are pretty good. If you don't have recent English or French exam scores, you will need...

    I had a brief hospital trip about a decade ago. Weeks later, I saw the ambulance bill-- nearly $6,000. I have wondered why anyone would actively choose to take an ambulance in the US since then. I'm applying for PR for a few reasons. Primarily, I'm dating a Canadian guy and we'd like to...

    CELPIP Re-evaluation

    I suspect they're referring to the minimum thresholds to be eligible for certain Express Entry programs, which you appear to exceed. There is also a "barrier" of sorts when it comes to scoring-- a CLB below some thresholds puts the applicant at a points disadvantage that can sometimes mean the...

    CELPIP re-evaluation came in today-- along with a huge wave of relief. They raised my writing evaluation to a 10! Now to wait forever for my ECA to come in... did you all use WES?

    CELPIP Re-evaluation

    I'm in the exact same boat-- native speaker, great writer, got stuck with R12 L11 W8 S12. I requested the writing to be re-evaluated the day I got the scores. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and here's hoping they feel the same about my writing score.

    Thank you, and I'm sorry you got stuck with the same! It's just frustrating because I'm so obviously fluent in English, but that 8 is the difference between a 420 and a 478+ for me. :( If I have to take it again I will, but I shouldn't have to. The test should measure accurately the first time.

    I just got my CELPIP results back and I'm pretty annoyed! I clearly have great writing skills, but they still gave me an 8 in writing. What gives? I was surprised at how incredibly short the writing section was-- two 150-200 word entries seems like nothing compared to the essays I've had to...

    Thank you for sharing your experiences. :) It makes me feel a lot better about the whole deal. Bonus: I was (finally) able to track down the original job postings for the two positions I've held over the past few years thanks to habitually saving semi-important documents in hard-to-remember...

    Police certificate from USA and their new online tool

    I'm pretty excited about being able to use this online process! Just in time for me to apply. The link in the description (https://www.edo.cjis.gov) works for me on mobile chrome, but it does take a while to load.

    I was able to pick up my paper degrees from my parents' house this weekend, so I should be able to submit for ECA today. I have an M.Sc. and B.A. from a US university and was planning on only having the M.Sc. assessed-- this is okay, right? Is there any reason I should have my B.A. assessed as...

    Hi all-- new to the club. I'm just starting my EE journey but appreciate seeing a community of other Americans (perhaps I can learn from your experiences).
