Whaaa... For real? Yeah, I am not expecting them to communicate. But it is so messed up on their side. I wouldn't completely rule out incompetence, though. The glitches and horribly organized switch to new codes are incompetence. Incompetence doesn't exclude malice, though. It can be both at...

It's described in this thread, this issue, but it does not tell me how it gets resolved. The deadline to submit our application is in two days. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/action-buttons-have-disappeared.623289/ EDIT: It got resolved on its own in...

I just tried submitting my application and... something weird happened. It did not take the money but the application is suddenly locked. When I log in, I can see that there are 3 days left to submit, but there is no link to continue with the application or to decline the invitation. Can...

I think it's important for them to sort things out before conducting new draws while the system is not working. Conducting a draw now will only cause more problems and many deserving people won't be selected because their points are not calculated correctly. Stopping a draw until it's resolved...

This is strange. I know for sure that medicals for PR need to be reported as such. Perhaps the content of the tests is the same, but it's not the same administratively. Perhaps the price is different. Did you receive a number from your doctor? Try to get their explanation in writing so you can...

No idea, but I think that they skipped (?) this draw because of the mess with glitches over switching to TEER. The last draw was not performed correctly (people didn't get points, some were invited even though they were ineligible, others that were eligible were not invited, etc.) They need to...

Interesting. We never declared it before as such, and we never had any issues with getting visa's (including work visa for that job). Perhaps we should mention it here, just in case?

This is so true. French is a game changer. Although I'd argue that reaching B1 is a point when (according to my wife, I don't speak French) you might as well go for B2 and full 50 points. But yes, even without the bonus, those added points for B1 can be a game changer. And you can try for B1 in...

A quick question: What does "government work experience" include? My wife works as a University instructor at a public research university. That's not it, right?

Hopefully they fix it by then. I would send a webform right now complaining about the issues. Hold them responsible.

How long do you have left to submit your application? Hopefully this gets resolved soon. I just checked and we can access our application.

At which point do you get the message?

I believe they are working on the glitches because the last draw was not conducted correctly. People still can't get points for Canadian work experience, etc.

Don't take my word on it, because they can be weird, but I don't think this is grounds for refusal? It might confuse them though, and they might not realize you are CEC. So if you don't have enough money they require for non-CEC, they might make a fuss. But you are not required to show proof of...

Is this a halt in the draws though? I hope this is just temporary until they fix it (unless you think it will take them months to fix it, which is... not impossible since it's them we're talking about). Or do you think that even one skipped draw can push scores up so much?

No :cool: I cannot be sure, but I feel this pause is because of the super-messed up system at the moment and glitches that are rampant. They messed it up, did not want to admit it, and now they paused the draw so they can fix it. They should have done it on the 23rd but I assume they thought...

You can apply for BOWP as soon as you submit your PR application. Not after you get ITA, but after you submit the application. Were you in the poll when the glitch happened last time and were not invited despite of your points?

Yes, it is my assumption, too. There were too many glitches. Some people were not invited even though they were supposed to be. Points were not calculated correctly, etc. They need some time to fix this mess. Hopefully not a lot of time. But yes, it is scary because of flashbacks and because...

Don't decline ITA. You see what can happen (no draw).

Why wasn't a draw today?
