    Post ITA - Letter of Employment Vs Reference Letter

    Thanks so much! Neither I have LMIA approved, nor I have LMIA exempt work permit, especially not with a full year of experience. So it's a "No" for me. Please receive my upvote :)

    Post ITA - Letter of Employment Vs Reference Letter

    Is it really that simple? If you didn't claim 50/200 points, you can simply choose "No", although you may have a job offer letter? For example, in my case the progress was following: Job offer letter -> BC PNP -> EE ITA Therefore, it could be implied that I got EE ITA based on job offer, but...

    Proof of Funds (Express Entry)

    Thank you, I assumed so, but you never know - since CIC isn't "any" third party that could ask for something like that :) In that case, I'll gladly start spending money right after getting the PoF documentation! :)

    Proof of Funds (Express Entry)

    Hey guys, once you obtain and upload PoF to your PR application, do they perform additional checks on your bank account (by contacting bank directly or something like that), or you can start spending money? For example, if I submit my PoF tomorrow, can I purchase plane tickets on Monday...

    Spouse Open Work permit

    Thanks so much for your reply! My work permit is going to be valid for 2 years. And actually I do have a friend in the city I'm going to live in who could help with "renting me a room", but wouldn't it be strange if someone reserves anything for 2 years in advance? Or have a flight ticket with...

    Employment Reference Letter | Letter from Current Employer | Employment Records

    Hi Reema, thanks so much! It does help a lot! Would you mind sharing the content of your letters roughly? I'm just not sure I understand the difference between Reference and Appointment letter? For example, mine (I guess reference letter) looks like this: December 20th, 2016 To Whom It May...

    Apply for Work Permit through MyCIC not working?

    Thank you! Yes, it looks like an issue on their end. I've already submitted a ticket, I hope they respond to those. It's so frustrating - I finally have everything ready for the WP application and now it's delaying over such a silly problem.

    Thanks for your reply! It was a good idea, but unfortunately the same issue persists (tried with Chrome and Safari). Does the Come to Canada tool work for you?
