    Urgent - I am eligible, but still told otherwise

    FYI, part-time job while studying in CANADA doesn't count as work experience for Express Entry. So you have 1,5 years in total. So, your points: Language - 24 Education - 19 (Canadian post-secondary degree or diploma for a two-year program, or equal) Experience - 9 Age - 12 Arranged Employment...

    Urgent - I am eligible, but still told otherwise

    Address doesn't give you any points, so it can't be the issue. The most common problems: - IELTS Academic instead of General - not enough work experience or NOC code is not 0,A,B System thinks you are not eligible for FSW, that's why you are rejected. If you give your details (age, IELTS...

    Canadian embassy calling for PR solicitation

    This is definitely a fraud. IRCC would never ask for a fee payment via phone call. Moreover RPRF is not 2000 CAD, it is 490 CAD per person. You can try to call the official IRCC number to report this incident. Or just ignore the call.

    Am I really eligible??

    My bad, sorry. I was busy so at work, couldn't multiply 4*4 properly ;D But anyway, you should never trust third-party sources and people like me - re-check everything with official guides. People make mistakes, unfortunately. You are the most interested and motivated person to get yourself to...

    How to upload multiple attachment under one category for PR application

    There is no other option. I uploaded a document with 33 pages as an evidence of my work experience. I had to compress it, of course. Find a compressor which allows you to control the compression level. Also you may try to decrease the quality of your scans, so you don't have to compress...

    Please advice on how to increase my CRC score.

    When you have a PR visa, you chances aren't bad, but it depends on occupation and you work experience (how valuable you are for employers). I wouldn't count much on Job Bank while waiting for ITA - your employer will have to get an LMIA for you, which is not an easy task you know :)

    Am I really eligible??

    I'd recommend not to use third-party estimators - always refer to the official sites if possible. As you do not have job offer or Canadian experience, you might fall under FSW only. So you need to meet the FSW criteria to be eligible. Calculate your points using the link you were given earlier...

    AOR JAN 2016 - let's get together

    Your visa is not approved and it is clearly stated in the email: "Admissibility review (security, criminality and/or medical) is still ongoing". I guess you have security check left, because medical and criminality are usually verified on earlier stages. On this stage it is unlikely to get a...

    AOR in February 2016 EE Connect Here

    Nobody knows CIC priorities as well as their processing policies. They do not share this internal information. They process some people in 2 weeks, others wait for 7-8 months. If you have your BG turned to In progress, most likely you'll get an email stating your account has been updated...

    total living expense in toronto

    I am not sure if you have a visa already and if you are aware about PoF for international students, but there are minimum requirements for funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-how-documents.asp#doc3. This partially answers your question, I guess - CIC has already thought about your...

    IMHO, they transfer the majority of applications to LVO when most of the checks are done, closer to the final stage. But based on the cases I saw, it happens not to everyone. Part of the applications goes to LVO on earlier stages and they tend to be processed faster (that is my impression). I...

    My application has the same offices. It has never been transferred to LVO (at least up to the point when I got GCMS note). I guess it is wrong to assume CIC always transfers files to LVO. I know one guy who was processed by Ottawa only.

    Yes, all initial checks (R10, PCC, Medical) were done within the first 10 days after AOR. After that no records at all. I am being processed by CPC-Ottawa. I don't mind waiting as long as it's required, but I'd like to see some progress on my case :( It is especially frustrating to see some...
