You working in Ontario after PR will also be a problem. I would delay the relocation like you did and plan on getting another job after PR if relocation is eventually mandatory.

If you changed your job then no. You will need start and end dates on the position. If you stayed at the same company with the same NOC but just got reassigned or promoted, you can count the experience after the change.

It’s more than halfway towards expiration. Bear in mind that if you are outland, your COPR validity is limited by that of your medical exam.

Divine retribution. I can’t fathom how terrorists escape justice.

This. For people who value immigration a lot (like myself) you just don’t take chances. You do everything possible. Then you push the boundary of possibilities and repeat.

I suggest trying French for a few months to decide whether to commit learning it for a year or more. With 474 you probably need to wait 12+ months for ITA, during which one might as well learn French. Also watch out for NOC-based draws coming up. It’s going to be great news for some and bad...

The equilibrium was about 469 when FHS target was ~100k and draws were mostly all programs. Now that FHS target is <60k, even if draws remain all-programs (BIG IF HERE), I really doubt the equilibrium will drop much below 480. Not to mention the time it takes to reach that equilibrium due to...

I agree with Jazzed. You’re PA with post-AOR spouse. Just don’t get divorced before landing. Whatever happens to your marriage next, or whatever your spouse does, will have no effect to your PR status at this point.

Aug 3 seems possible (less than 50-50 to get below 530 IMO, just because the pool had accumulated so many high-score profiles over the 1.5 yr) at the current draw size, and more likely if the draw increases. You don’t have to get the same CLB though. Even 510 is a great score as long as it...

I suggest retaking IELTS. You need it to stay valid till your e-APR, so if July 20th doesn’t go below 530 you will be on a really tight clock with the current IELTS even if you get ITA on Aug 3rd.

I was gonna laugh till I put myself in pre-ITA shoes :(

447 needs a significant bump. You are looking for 490 given that age imposes a score drain.

Since you have family in Canada, is sponsorship an option? It makes no sense to risk misrepresentation if your brother offers to solve the deficit for you. Treat it as a gift, and gift him back later if needed.

For 1000 your pre-nomination score would be 400. So no FSW invitation as FSW can’t count the +600.

The worst that can happen is that your upfront medical doesn't get linked on time and you have to do another medical exam. If you don't care about the fee and speculate that eligibility/security have passed, go for it. Whether it moves your application.. appears highly random. I don't see how...

Sounds legit. Now that all-program draws resumed, however small it is, OINP could be on its way. Hopefully without CRS caps..

Job offer for outlander is difficult because very few employers bother with LMIA. Those who do are likely multinational corporates, but a position that justifies LMIA must be super competitive. If your employer has a Canadian branch, maybe look for internal transfer. With NOC 2173 and CRS 472...

@ElvisRamaj @ImpatientDragon you both are probably right about the cited figures. Note that NOI takes time to turn into nomination, creating a “6k-vs-4k gap”. Some may decline the NOI, some get rejected for not meeting Ontario’s requirements, and a LOT can be assessment in progress (NOI issued...

Any records of the hours you put in? Or, if your reference letter shows an hourly rate, your pay stubs (pre-tax figures would be nice) will indirectly show the hours.

Definitely. Corny is another way of saying “well known to be true” :)
