My degrees are from Ireland. 22nd December they cashed my cheque (I waited to pay until I knew they'd received all my docs from home cause they were coming from different universities). December 29th I had my report back.

express entry would be quicker then, i hear common law applications taking about 13 months +, express entry aims to be done in 6 months.

those two draws were not targeting CEC. Most people applying under CEC do not have an LMIA as it wasn't a requirement previously. Therefore most CEC applicants are not getting those extra 600 points. Those two draws only took LMIA holders, who are mainly Federal skilled trades workers & maybe...

yep, you'll need a police cert from Botswana. From anywhere you spent over 6 months since turning 18. well, if you need an educational credential assessment, you need to submit a copy of your degree(s) so if you need that assessment I'd be getting the duplicate.

why? you should only change it if you don't have the funds

yup. the only difference between FSW and CEC is the fund requirement for FSW. You must have entered that you have at least the minimum fund requirement for FSW to be eligible.

no one does. they didn't even announce the last one so they probably won't announce future ones either. Wait and see.

Everyone that speaks English as a first language has to do it, not just Australians. Believe me there's nothing funny about paying $300 to prove that you can speak your native language.. sorry, that particular rule pisses me off

oh. well maybe. I just know of people who had the MST and they called CIC and were told it was supposed to say MST-FSTW. Maybe its different for different people?

proof of funds isn't a requirement under CEC, LMIA or not.

Theres a glitch in the system, its supposed to say MST-FSTW, so its federal skilled trades

well if you weren't in the military or in school its your best option. clarify in letter of explanation if it makes you feel better

bloody hell, do you really think they'd open themselves up to a lawsuit from thousands of people? its highly unlikely. yes the information could have been released sooner but they didn't break any law by not doing so, besides which, by applying for PR, you have to abide by their terms, and i'd...

I think its coming up ineligible because your IELTS score isn't high enough for the NOC code you're entering. retake IELTS, get overall of 7 and it should work.

jesus, you can't just go switching noc codes to make it work. you need to enter the correct codes for your job otherwise you're misrepresenting yourself.

ok seriously, your lawyer is guessing, he has no confirmation from anywhere that they will accept everyone who scores above 380 and while it might end up being true it also might not, so spreading this round isn't helpful.

380? where are you pulling that number from, it seems pretty low? I'd honestly be surprised if they went below 400 for EE...

the situation might be different but the premise is the same, they can do what they like and there's nothing you can do about it.

won't make a difference even if there are lawsuits. Remember they just returned hundreds of thousands of applications a few years back because of the backlog - some of those people had been waiting years. No law suit then made any difference, won't now either.

just put in employed and in the details say unemployed or travelling or whatever
