I don’t know what the target was for 2020 but the target now looks like it will stay at 1000 and not increase over the next 3 years, unlike most of the other streams. The number is for the year they give you PR, not the year you applied.

Unfortunately the target number for the business stream is only 1,000/yr. That number is extremely low for the 400,000 immigrants/year overall number.

I think we got ours about 2-3 weeks later.

Thanks. So I guess there’s no point in even trying to apply that way (points are too low). I guess self-employed is the only way for us unfortunately. The acceptance rate for those is really low (only about 1000, for all business immigration).

I’ve applied via self-employed but am wondering if anyone has applied for self-employed and also through Express Entry? Is that allowed? Also, our CRS points are below 400 and skilled worker program is only around 66 (minimum is 67). Maybe there’s no point in creating an EE profile...? Do...

My husband and I applied to immigrate via the self-employed route. I think the only other way we might be able to apply would be the Federal Skilled worker program via EE. Though we may not have enough points (66; minimum is 67) and less than 400 for CRS. Are we allowed to apply a 2nd way if...

Thanks. I’m actually looking for the number of applicants, not the number admitted.

Does anyone know approximately how many people apply each year under “business immigration”? Looks like the target number they are accepting is super low in comparison to the other streams.

Applying from the US! NOC 5133. Application received in NS on 11/3/2020. Temp AOR received 1/15/2021.

We also just got this AOR email, as the others did. Very exciting, even though it’s only the first step Application arrived in Sydney: November 3, 2020 AOR (or first AOR): January 15, 2021

Ours arrived November 3rd....waiting is very difficult. I also check my spam folder every few days just in case

Yes. Works exactly the same way in the U.S. As I said, it does not affect us since we do not collect unemployment.

Does the AOR arrive by mail or email? It usually takes a few months to get (after application arrives in Sydney), right?

Our application was delivered this morning via UPS! Now the real wait begins.

We sent our application off yesterday!! I guess the waiting begins (we got the photos taken care of)

If only I could get a local photographer. I could not. So that's not an option. At least right now. If I have to redo them, I'll try again with a photographer.

No.

So I went to Walgreens (tried 3 stores before getting someone to do it) to get the photos done. Well, I'm sure they'll ask us to redo them. But, for now, the photos are 2"x2 3/4" WITH the black strips on the top and bottom. Should I cut them to exclude the black strips or include them (black...

In the checklist, #11 is "Relevant Experience". On Schedule 6A, #7 is "Your Experience". Do I just fill in the form (6A), and then write the same items on a separate sheet for the checklist? Not sure why it asks for this twice. The checklist asks for: "Proof of your...

Thanks. Again, we don’t collect unemployment. Our income has actually stayed about the same for teaching. We lost a couple of students in March but have gotten a couple of new ones since. All of our students are online now so there’s not really a change in numbers. As for recording, we can...
