    Track your PR card timeline and processing times here

    Shouldn't be a problem as long as the rest of the information is present on the Annex A form. The barcode allows them to avoid having to manually enter the information from the form. You're not the first that couldn't get the barcode to print.

    no reference letter

    That could make things difficult, maybe someone else here in the forum has a solution?

    no reference letter

    You can, but if you can't get the letter it's best to try to get letters from former managers or co-workers who no longer work with the company. Also, it's a good idea to have your original offer letter, check stubs, and tax documents (i.e. W-2 in the US) proving that you worked there. You can...

    US-based applicants, let's connect here

    I definitely took a bit of a pay cut, but not as much as you might think. I'm also going to be in Quebec, and costs are a bit lower it seems than Toronto or Vancouver. Negotiation is no different than in the US, at least in my situation, I let them know my requirements during the first interview...

    US-based applicants, let's connect here

    Generally I've just let them know I'm that I was re-locating to the area. The hard part is getting the initial interview, once you get a chance to speak to them, you can explain what your plans are. Some recruiters will toss an application even if the person is in Canada but in another province.

    US-based applicants, let's connect here

    Honestly, it's just a numbers game, just keep applying and don't give up. Also, if you have a local address you can list on your applications it helps, once they know you're outside the country, most employers won't give you application a 2nd look. Last, I use an app called "2nd Line" to get...

    US-based applicants, let's connect here

    It's in finance, and I found it after getting PR. I'm in the US right now, but landed in Sept. and I'll be starting the job in Nov. In order to take the job I'll be moving to Quebec. I'm just really hoping we get our PR cards soon!

    US-based applicants, let's connect here

    Very true, I happen to get lucky, and found something at a distance but still had to travel to secure the job. I'd still like to find something a little closer to my location. Much easier to be in the area however.

    US-based applicants, let's connect here

    We just landed last month in Sept., and we started the process a couple of years ago in 2015, so the election was still a long way off from happening. That being said, the climate in the US has gotten to be a bit old, and I guess the timing was perfect since we had no idea it would be this way...

    Wow, I can't believe it takes that long to get a CSQ. The wait times are ridiculous.

    QSW applicant work in Ottawa but Live in Gatineau Quebec

    Declare to whom? If you mean for the application, I don't think PT work during school gives you any advantage on the app, I could be wrong however as I haven't done a CSQ app, but I would certainly include it if asked for that information on the app.

    QSW applicant work in Ottawa but Live in Gatineau Quebec

    I don't think so, as long as you maintain your residence in Gatineau.

    Anyone got PR with withdrawn case(diversion) in Canada?

    I doubt you'll get refused based on the shoplifting crime. Crimes that result in you being jailed over 6 months requires them to take action, and if your lawyer says you should be ok in your circumstance, I would follow his expertise before anyone here on this forum. DUI, assaults, etc... that...

    CRS 400 and NOC 0013

    They don't publish a "profile", but they do publish a set of criteria that makes you eligible to apply. Some are points based, some are not, you'll learn the specifics of each one as you research them, each province and program is unique.

    Ray of Hope - 73rd Draw

    I'll share my opinion on this, but that doesn't mean that it is fact. Hopefully others with more experience with these issues will chime in: 1) As long as you have the credentials you say you have in your application and have gotten the ECA, you should be ok. You will be able to correct the...
