Passport Request. The golden mail that tells you your app is approved and to send your passport to the Visa office for getting the visa.
We should have a stick glossary here.
I m not sure of RCMP requirements - but for Singapore PCC I ended up going to the police only and saved a lot of money.
If you need digital prints then use them. People have good experience with them.
I was in a similar situation. Got BG in progress on July 30. whats your VO ? Mine is NDVO and they like to do stuff in batches. maybe its the same with you.
Order GCMS notes. sometimes an agent sees the file is ok to move ahead and will do it while preparing the notes.
LMIA is a pain for everyone. Its basically to cool the voters and slow immigration. Recruiters hate it (and dont bother with it), foreign workers hate it. Locals think it sends jobs outside (really incredible though) and hate it as well
To be honest too many variables to make an informed comment. Quotas, Canadian politics, Refugees, CIC backlog, new entrants, etc.
But a safe bet will be that the CRS will reduce but will not go below 450.
NDVO likes to work in batches. The Day my BG went into progress (was stuck on Not Started since AOR) atleast 10-12 people on the forum reported the same.
Yes I selected all provinces in intended province field. (Was kind of desperate)
**Update** Ontario nominations are closed. No one will be getting anything till they reopen. Sorry guys
This article talks about getting more temporary workers. Cites Industries like Mining and Fish processing need temp workers.
Also mentions that Investor Program that tanked under Conservatives had lot of Chinese applicants. There are some concerns about impact of Chinese on Real Estate Prices...
Lets just wait for the mid year report Voldy. That should put to rest all curiosities.
PS : Unmarried applicant under 30 with Masters 4yrs+ workex and a good IELTS gets a nice CRS.
Yes it will. Since PNP nominations are drying up and LMIA is becoming a unicorn. Only it wont go below 450 ever. Each day new applications come into the pool. Young highly qualified people who have good IELTS scores. They will keep the CRS above 450 for quite a long time.
