I see, didn't know Arrima is that bad, since I'm not going for Quebec myself. I just saw it mentioned a lot in the French groups. On Reddit, I've seen people saying it's risky to move to Quebec right away after EE, since it can look like misrepresentation. Could cause problems during...

If you want Quebec you should check out Arrima, they have their own system separate from Express Entry. But there are a lot of Francophone communities outside Montreal that are worth considering, since French gives a lot of EE points.

What does 'middle name' mean in this context? In the Philippines, it's always your mother's maiden last name.

Hi, also a Filipino here. When I researched it for my own PR application, it looked like there were 3 ways people dealt with it - What you did, which is ignore it on the forms; Still leave it off the forms but include a letter of explanation about the middle name thing; Stick it onto your...

Jesus that was so sad.

Thanks for the clarity!

Anyone had the PR tracker show something different from the main application status? My tracker says Eligibility is completed and Biometrics in progress. The main account says they are still reviewing Eligibility but Biometrics is completed. Which one is correct?

April 28 AOR, just got the MEP/BIL! :D

When are you outlanders planning on looking for jobs? I saw some threads suggesting you wait until 1-2 months before flight to start applying, but not sure I want to leave it that late. Partner and I are in tech so nervous about the job market.

That really sucks. Maybe you should've put your home country as the location for that education. Can you try calling IRCC? Otherwise I think sending a webform is the only option. Mind sharing your AOR date? I also got an ITA from that round.

Try changing the POF to $18000 (if 2 people), some people in the Facebook groups said that worked.

Y Yep, the one with the Filipino teacher in the small town. Small world!

I'm not sure about Canada but some foreign teachers get sponsored for jobs in the US. Depends on the subject, though. I think STEM ones are the most desirable.

Hi @SojunJung, was it okay?

Great to hear from someone who experienced it firsthand! I'm planning to submit my e-APR soon and was getting nervous about it.

Did some searching and it looks like a similar strike happened in 2013. Foreign service officers went on strike in the visa centers abroad affecting student and other temp. visa applications. Went on from June to end of September. Hopefully that isn't the case this time.

Yes, I'm also including my internships. If it's personal history and no points, you don't need to prove anything.

I guess the mental image I have of Africa is very outdated! Here in Southeast Asia the stereotype of Africa is the Savannah and safaris...

Like what kind of tech? I'm curious, never been to Africa.

Yeah, my plan is to just follow that for the names, then put a LOE in the other names section for "alias". Since a lot of my documents have middle name.
