    Do work experience during UNDERGRADUATE count for 1 year work experience?

    Hello Avisad, Since the work experience gained while studying full time doesn't count towards CRS, should we bother entering them in the work history section of the online profile? or do you think we should enter everything (with the worked while studying full time button if applicable checked)...

    Co-op Work Experience as Part of Express Entry Profile

    Hi Canada053, I have a quick question for you on this topic. Say, I am working part time outside the school while studying full time and the job is not part of the school's co-op program, in that case, should that experience be counted towards work experience? if not, should that still be...

    Hanszda, I don't really think LMIA is that effective due to the many requirements. Taking myself as an example. I am currently employed by PwC, one of the biggest accounting firm in the world. I have demonstrated superior performance at my work, made senior associate from associate in 6...

    CIC is "working around the clock" to get 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada

    Canada is Canadian's home, they have every right to invite whoever they want to move to this land and to priortize any applications/category of applicants at their own discrete. If you are uncomfortable with their right and believes they should priortize your application before any other person...

    ACCA affiliate to CPA Canada Evaluation

    Hi there, Because CPA is a new thing in Canada, so I don't think many people will have the experience in the evaluation process, but you can reach out to the provincial body to find out the answers. Researching for the answer/solution to a problem is a mandatory skill for accounting...

    Study permit application

    Hello people, Do any of you have experience with renewing a study permit with expiring passport? In my case, my passport is expiring on November 25, 2015 and I submitted my renewal application on June 23, 2015. The thing is, I can't really renew my passport before I start my master program in...

    Been living in Canada for 10+ years, still a student

    I understand what you are saying. I think the question here is, do and will the people scoring less than 300 points without a LMIA be able to create a lot value to Canada on the long term basis that really deserves the extra 600 points? After all, the fact that they scored 300 points or less on...

    Been living in Canada for 10+ years, still a student

    Hi Kateg, Yes, I am qualified for CEC; I am just really frustrated with the Express Entry program. The goal of Express Entry is supposed to select candidates who are more likely to achieve an economic success; however, the 600 LMIA points seem to be contradicting and undermining that...

    Express entry : New Stats Revealed!

    I think the 3,000 figure is highly doubtful. Based on the spreadsheet, a total of 29 out of 1,558 people who received invitation from this forum. This indicates that our spreadsheet roughly represents 3% of the total eligible application population. Based on the number of people on our...

    Want to start a petition. Please provide Input!

    Actually I am not too against the LMIA system to the point that it should be eliminated or we should get 600 points for free. In my opinion, it's a better option if CIC can lower the bonus points for LMIA to a reasonable level so that people can actually compete fairly. (what's the point of...

    VERY NEXT DRAW/HERE AM I, SEND ME

    I can't speak for him, but some occupation and positions in particular companies are extremely difficult to get LMIA. E.g. there never going to be a short of supplies at the Financial Analyst position at TD.

    Want to start a petition. Please provide Input!

    count me in! It absolutely makes no sense to ask us to go through arranged employment etc. when we already have a full time job here! What do they expect us to do? to give up our current job for some possibly lower level job through arranged employment?

    Should I still send in my T4?

    Don't worry about it, I don't think you will need his T4 to file your taxes.
