Hi, I created an express entry profile on Oct 7th with 472 points qualifying for CEC. I received an invitation from Ontario (PT Notification of Interest) to apply to their Provincial Programme in my express entry account (OINP under the Human Capital Priorities Stream). The application seems...

Hi, I entered my express entry profile on October 7th. I have 472 points. On the 8th of October, I received an invitation from Ontario (PT Notification of Interest) to apply to their Provincial Programme in my express entry account (OINP under the Human Capital Priorities Stream). The...

Hi, I just wanted to update everyone on where I am since my last post: I got all my documentation together except for an upfront medical (do I need an up front medical or is it viewed as being separate to all the other requirement?) so I have my ECA, Language tests, foreign police certs x3...

Did you apply online or by snail mail? I'm just about to submit my application and am wondering which method to choose? Right now the slowest method is probably best for me! Thanks and good luck

Hi Jess, Thanks for the reply. I won't be submitting my Express Entry until mid October when I am certain that I am eligible with regards to 52 weeks work experience. (I am assuming 2, half weeks of work from two previous jobs might not count etc.) So I am waiting until I have a bulletproof...

Hi c2h, Thank you for answering each point for me. It gives me hope and while as you say it's not perfect by any means, it is the only clear way to proceed. Thank you for confirming what I thought which is that I must have 52 weeks at the time of applying. It's going to be very tight but it...

I agree, and unless I can submit my PR before my 52 weeks in the knowledge that I will pass 52 weeks while I'm awaiting an ITA there isn't much else I can do to buy time. And I'm not sure what happens if I put my PR in on 50 weeks while accumulating the extra requisite weeks as I'm awaiting the...

Hi Ginny, Yes I know about express entry and have registered to do my English exam in the next couple of weeks. As I don't yet have 52 weeks of experience I can't begin applying yet anyway right? I have also began getting my MA and BA degrees verified and will do a French exam. Points wise I...

Details from a traumatised person: My current work permit expires on October 24 2015. I currently have a new job and will have accumulated 52 weeks of valid work experience by the final week of September, first week of October. In the first week of October I must travel abroad for work for 11...

Agreed, the market is tough but I think if you can find a job in Quebec with only average French, you can find elsewhere in Canada:) (It was pretty hard to find one here...) As long as I'd be unlimited (apart from Quebec) in my search that is.

I totally understand their position on this and thanks for sharing. If I indicate my intention to locate in Ontario for example and take a job in Alberta though would I not also be breaking the conditions? or can I simply indicate UKN (as in somewhere in Canada where I find a decent job other...

Thank you all for the information. However I have read that a letter of intent is insufficient alone and needs to be backed by evidence also. I just have a slight time constraint in that my visa will expire shortly after I have my 12 months experience so in effect I will be in Montreal living...

Hi, I have no intention to lie. In fact I am being completely honest. I 'would' have been happy to remain in Montreal but the possibility for me to do so as per the law doesn't allow me to. Hence I am accepting that in order for me to remain in Canada I must relocate and settle in another...

Hi, I'll literally have my 52 weeks experience only about 3 weeks before the end of my visa so I need to stay right up until the end to make sure I have enough weeks. Ideally I'd like to stay in Montreal and in my job but I don't qualify for the Quebec programme because I don't have sufficient...

Thank you C2, I guess I'll make it with 2-4 weeks to spare!

I am single and came here alone. I am perfectly set up in Montreal and like my job/apartment and friends but if they need me to move and resign and it gets me over the line for residency I guess that is what I am going to have to do..:( It's not the end of the world, just very expensive and...

So if for example I was to resign my job in Quebec with a letter of resignation from myself and acknowledgement from my employer of termination of my job with a final payslip etc. and show evidence that I no longer have a job here, move elsewhere in Canada, sign a rental lease etc. and prove I'm...

Hi, I am going to be in a similar situation soon. I came to Montreal on a one year IEC visa. I renewed it for a further 2 years. So in total I have lived in Montreal for 3 years. Not all my work experience qualifies but in October 2015 I will have definitely acquired enough experience to have...
