    WES Timeline/Tracking 2019

    You're really lucky! They've been evaluating my docs for 26 working days now, and I still don't have the estimated completion date.

    WES Timeline/Tracking 2019

    Based on my experience, that seems normal. It's a shame there aren't estimated completion dates for all stages. I was told that my escalation hadn't received a response, and they would submit another one. Not sure why mine has been stuck in the evaluation stage for so long, with no estimated...

    Moving to Kitchener-Waterloo 2020: Opinions

    I'd be perfectly fine with that. :) I studied business/commerce, after all, not pure marketing, so that's still in line. And you think for those kinds of jobs my experience in marketing roles would be recognized? Private and public hirers.

    Moving to Kitchener-Waterloo 2020: Opinions

    Thanks! Oh, I would definitely be open to branching out into other areas of work. I just happen to have been on this path up to now, as I had to choose something. And I've enjoyed it, and gained some good experience. Are you referring to looking into other office-type jobs like administrative...

    Moving to Kitchener-Waterloo 2020: Opinions

    Fair enough. I do have a website that I built, so that could help. And I've kept my LinkedIn up-to-date over the years. Do you know where I can find out if my resume matches Canadian standards/formats? I wouldn't mind living in Toronto - it seems like a wonderful city. It's just the cost of...

    Moving to Kitchener-Waterloo 2020: Opinions

    Perhaps just applying in both areas would be beneficial. I would definitely have PR already, and I could get a Canadian number, so it would just be a matter of trying to get interviews without a Canadian address. Hopefully the idea that I could hop on a plane and be there in a day would be...

    Moving to Kitchener-Waterloo 2020: Opinions

    Thanks so much for your insights! Very helpful. :) So, I'm assuming you'd say avoid Edmonton as well as Calgary? Because of the fluctuating Albertan economy. KW seems like a sweet spot, as the property prices aren't at the level of Toronto. Would you recommend I try applying for jobs while...

    Moving to Kitchener-Waterloo 2020: Opinions

    Hi all! I hope everyone's 2020 is going well so far. :) I've been debating where to move to later this year, once my PR is done. I thought perhaps some of you wise folk could offer me some advice. I just want to preface by saying that I don't really mind things like weather...

    Work Experience Calculation for EE

    Okay, well it's good that when reviewing it, they calculate based on exact dates. Are those dates based on the info that is on my proof of work experience reference letters from each employer? Say I have 1 week extra at one place, and 3 weeks at a separate place, would the case analyst add...

    Work Experience Calculation for EE

    Edit: Do partial months count in terms of being added when they're from two separate jobs? For example, if I ended employment 2 weeks into a month at one place, and started employment 2 weeks into a month at the next job, would those weeks be added to give me a month? What I'm trying to avoid...

    Work Experience Calculation for EE

    So, if the first job's experience was as follows: Starting 28 March 2016 Ending 13 January 2017 What would that count for?

    Work Experience Calculation for EE

    Hi all! :) I have 9 months of work experience from my first full-time job, and 2 years of experience (ongoing) in my second full-time job. There was a gap in between employment, but both were within the last few years. If I create my EE profile now, will my points for work experience...
