If we successfully get a provincial nomination what, if anything, could go wrong to stop us getting PR? I understand there's still a police check and a medical, is there anything else? I assume if the province are happy with our paperwork then the national immigration office will be. What...

Thanks for the replies, it will make no difference to my score, it is just the start date of my first job 10 years ago was a month later than I remember.

When collecting paperwork I released the start date for one of my jobs was actually a month later than I originally put it as when creating my profile. It doesn't make any difference to my points or anything like that but I'm worried that if I now change it after submitting my profile it will...

I second WES. CES are very slow, 12 weeks and counting...

Sounds like it should be a masters degree. Can I ask how long your assessment took? I'm currently waiting for an ECA from CES and it's been almost 9 weeks. Thanks

My question was, can I submit my application before I get my ECA through, as purplesnow said, I can, but I won't get the points for education. Which means I need to wait.

Hi, I'm waiting for my ECA from University of Toronto, School of Continuing Studies. It's taking a frustratingly long time. The current estimated processing time is 13 weeks. It wouldn't be so bad but when I sent my forms it was 6 weeks. They confirmed they had everything almost 2 months...

Just to clarify my understanding. If you go the OOPNP route you need to show proof of funds 3 times. 1) For OOPNP 2) For CIC 3) When you land Is this correct? Pretty annoying to have to show POF up to 9 months before you actually get there.

I think it depends on your ties to Ontario (or any other province you might apply to). I've heard of people being turned down from NS because they didn't have any real ties. Provinces are very aware than once you have PR you can live anywhere you want, so they won't give PNP unless they're...

But you can't actually start a job without LMIA unless you've got PR right? So if someone offers you a job without LMIA and you don't have PR it's going to be 6 months+ before you can actually start (get PNP, get ITA, get PR, land, start). I can't see an employer being prepared to offer a job...

There are a number of provinces I could see myself settling in and if I could get the 600 points for PNP then I'd be good for ITA. I'd prefer to get PNP without having to get a job in that province first, so PNP would be based on demand for my NOC in that province. As per the subject, does...

Good point, I'd overlooked the Demand based PNP I understand the job offer without LMIA in theory. But am I right in thinking if I got a job offer without LMIA I'd then have to wait for the PNP to come through, then wait to get ITA, then wait to get PR? You can't do a job without LMIA unless...

Ok, that's cool. Not done PGWP before so it is an option. I've not looked at it before as I've been concentrating on FSW EE. I haven't read the entirety of the CIC website as there's a huge amount on there. Thanks for your help

... Hear me out. This might not apply to all provinces but Nova Scotia for example say this: "Before submitting an application to the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP), the skilled worker must have a full-time, permanent job offer from a Nova Scotia employer" From...

Ah yes, sorry, I think I was looking at a youth specific scheme that was capped at 30.

That's interesting as I had considered doing a Masters degree in Canada if I didn't get an ITA at this stage. It'll give me some extra points as I only have a bachelors degree at the moment and would obviously be a bonus for getting a job in Canada. Does the post-graduate work permit apply to...

So how can you get a temporary job for 6 months to a year? Don't you need some sort of visa to do that? I'm confused, this sounds like a catch 22. Can't get a visa without a job and can't get a job without a visa.

That is a really hard sell to a Canadian employer, they'd have to be really stuck to be willing to wait that long for the LMIA to come through. Plus waiting for the work permit to come through. Can you get an open work permit that isn't tied to an employer and lets you start working for anyone...

The CIC website suggests I can't get a work permit if I'm over 30. Is this really the case? Am I missing something?
