Is that for the RPRF money? Or what do you mean by "landing fees"?

For example if you look at NOC 4011, which is mostly for University lecturers/professors, it has mostly teaching/supervising duties. Do you do that 90% of your time? If yes, good then 4011 is your NOC. If not (which I suspect because Postdocs work in research), you want to choose a NOC that...

I also suggest you get a good template for your employment letter (you still have to provide proof that you were employed for the CEC qualifying period) and let UBC sign that in time. Also check if NOC 4011 is really a good fit. The NOC code should be chosen by SKILLS, not by JOB TITLE. There...

Having applied as a Postdoc myself, out of experience a Postdoc contract is NOT a permanent job offer and yes, UBC will never give you such a permanent job offer.. The problem is that you have now been drawn out of the EE pool with more than 600 points I assume (?) so if you hand in your...

Received my CoPR in the mail yesterday. PR application got approved with decision made on the 18th of November.

@weijilu If I were you I would now do upfront medicals and submit the medical results ASAP to CIC. The fact that you received RPRF request shows that your eligibility assessment must be at least "recommend pass" now, otherwise they wouldn't request for RPRF. You can still inquire where your...

Thanks for the info Kinji84. Having waited 18 months for my COPR, I will also endure another 52 days for the PR card to arrive :S

Hey folks, sorry if this is a stupid question: When I land with my CoPR and become a permanent resident, will Canada automatically mail my first PR card to my address in ECAS or do I have to physically send in the application package for the PR card that is on the CIC website? Thanks!

The country is a VISA exempt country. Reason that they requested a PCC is because by mistake I had sent the certified copy of the PCC along with the certified translation and not the original PCC along with the certified translation with my my original application package. That's why they needed...

My timeline: Application Sent: 17th June 2014 AOR: 2nd August 2014 Medical requested: 5th February 2015 PCC requested: 6th June 2015 Medical done: 10th February 2015 PCC sent: 10th of February 2015 and another one with certified translation in August 2015 RPRF paid: April 2015 Requested GCMS...

Hey guys, my status is now also showing Decision Made! ::) But still five lines. Meanwhile I had sent an email describing my troubles and delay to Minister for Immigration John MacCallum. Yesterday afternoon I got a reply: "Dear XYZ: Thank you for your e-mail of November 5, 2015...

Have received new GCMS notes.... Criminality: In Progress Security: Not started Same old same old for 9 months now since I did my medicals.... The best part: In the communication notes at the bottom it says: "Text: Status inquiry received. Standard template response sent." No words....

Yes I do have a visa exempt passport, you could be right and that is the reason why I've not been asked. I suppose the safest would be to not travel then, as you don't even have a TRV anymore..

I have never been asked upon checkin or boarding if I had a valid work permit. You could be a visitor too needing no Visa or anything, eg if you have a european passport. The airline doesn't care. ... You will be asked when you enter Canada by the officer and I suggest you bring your approval...

@may4ank I never received RPRF, I paid upfront I think in May.. They requested a german police certificate in february and medicals. Since then deadpan silence.

I can also see 5 lines today in ECAS, previously there were three lines. We received your application for permanent residence on June 17, 2014. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 2, 2014. We started processing your application on August 2, 2014. We...

Yes you can apply as well under EE.

I will definitely NOT do a second medical upfront, as I'm highly unwilling to fork out another $250 in addition to all the necessary costs that I already have because CIC is stalling my file (BOWP etc etc). I'm more interested if CIC would even issue the COPR when you only have a month for...

Hey folks, what is your intake on the 1-year validity of our medical test. I had mine early february 2015, and some people even end of January 2015 (ASTRO.CA etc). If we don't receive COPR/landing papers before the end of 2015, will they make us repeat the medical? Or will they decide based on...

I also sent a letter... Doubt that we will hear anything but it shouldn't hurt.
