WES gives you an address that you can request your university can send directly to on your behalf. There's a reference number they need to add to the address. Depending on the university and language of the certificates it can take a bit longer than from a UK university for example. Once WES had...

For a PhD you normally need a letter as PhD's don't have transcripts like other degrees. I used WES to do the ECA assessment and they will tell you what you need to send them (usually a degree certificate if it exists, transcripts or a letter outlining your grade etc.) . Remember that you will...

Yes. You're going to get a Passport request in the next week or two. You might get a ghost emil first which will be your BG check being updated to in progress and then you'll get an email for your passport and photos. Your AOR is just a little later in January than others hence why you are...

Hi, I just wanted to write and thank everyone in this forum for all their help. I started out on this process almost 12 months ago to the day when I needed to get everything together so that I could apply for EE, such as CELPIP and copies of certificates etc. Then I needed help getting a...

So to be crystal clear: Even if you already uploaded digital photos in your original application and all the pages of your passport etc. you do need to respond to this letter?

Hi, the thing is we had to submit a copy of our passport main pages and digital photos when we applied through express entry. So I'm really not sure if we need to mail them the same stuff again... let me know when you find out. And by the way, congratulations!

Hi, Silly question, but if you've submitted all your photos and fees etc. in your initial application and are from a visa exempt country do you still need to respond to that email or do you just wait and a letter arrives in the mail eventually?

Hi, I hope this isn't a stupid question but what do I do now? I just received a letter in my email: I live in Canada and have a passport from a visa exempt country. None of my circumstances have changed... I also had paid my PRF upfront. They have my photos etc. already uploaded. Is this the...

Hi, I just received a letter in my email: I live in Canada and have a passport from a visa exempt country. None of my circumstances have changed... I also had paid my PRF upfront. They have my photos etc. already and uploaded. Is this the final decision? Do I just not answer as I have all the...

Congratulations! Even if it's a bit like stumbling over the line with those last few requests...

Congratulations. When did your BG check change and how long did it take between it changing to 'in progress' to getting PPR? A lot of people are trying to figure out that part! Thanks

I believe that by the law they must issue them within 30 working days...3 months is a joke!

Congrats fellow Irish person. My timeline is about the same as yours. I just hope the BG check goes well and doesn't take too long now.I wish I knew what was going on in that BG check! I've an added complication in that I'm applying for Ontario but have been living in Quebec...so I have that...

Congrats Jas! Same question as Han: When did your BG change or did it change at all?

I've heard the Tuesday and Thursday thing but I've been emailed on Saturdays and Sundays too... so who knows. I think it's best to just forget about this whole thing until they send you a notification and you can have a heart attack about whatever it is you need to update/add/prove or if you're...

I know a FSW Inlander who had a Dec AOR. His BG never changed before he got a final decision in mid April. There seems to be a pattern depending on which programme you apply for. But as you can see, anything can happen!

Interesting, sounds very similar to me. The only explanation I can think of is that the officer processing our application is the same! Or maybe they are following the same order for completing the checks. Maybe some people like to get all the travel stuff completed at the beginning and move...

How long since you sent it the cse? I'm not certain but if you only travelled abroad you only need to update your new address and not travel history. they usually send the PPR to the mailing address you give them. I'm not certain on this so maybe a more experienced member can answer more...

I guess you're being treated (Ottawa) as inland so I'd say if nothing happens by next week there'll be no change in BG check until you receive PPR unless you haven't paid your RPRF up front which might delay by another week or so...but it's just a guess...

What programme are you? Inland or Outland? Sometimes BG doesn't change until your offered PR depending on your class of programme...
