Ever heard of the saying, if you have nothing nice or helpful to say, say nothing at all. You probably lived all your life in a bubble of a loving and generous family. Surprise! Everyone else doesn't have the same experiences you did. Relatives can be manipulative, greedy, abusive and take...

You'll get a temporary sheet of paper that would be valid as your license for about 2 months after your test. The license should arrive in regular mail within 6-8 weeks. It comes from an office in Kingston so depends on where you are. I have received my documents within 3 weeks most of the...

This is true only in the case of CEC. It is explicitly false for FSW. I have heard of many people spouting this off repeatedly. No idea where you are sourcing this info from.

I honestly don't mean any offence, but it is quite a normal tendency for people overestimate their skills particularly in languages. Unless you are presently in an academic or journalistic environment, where your grammar and language skills have been continuously graded by someone else, you...

Honestly, I think it should be. You were in the country legally and working legally. The onus was on CIC who did not process your work permit fast enough. I, personally, was on implied status last year for over 3 months and worked on a public sector contract position full-time. I never had any...

Not yet. I am not too worried in either case since I started working full-time not that long ago. In 6 more months I can safely apply as CEC. My PGWP is valid for a few more years.

I am on a work permit valid until early 2018 and got a 2-year lease for a Subaru in late December. I have good credit history though for the last 3-4 years. Some carmakers push leases while others would rather you finance. Subaru falls into the former category and the dealership I was working...

If you are a young person who started out getting an Undergrad or Master's degree in Canada, you will make friends and will definitely be able to adjust far better than an immigrant in their late 30s with a family and kids. I fit into the young person category and understand where you're coming...

I would beg to differ regarding Dubai. If you are well-educated and have a well-paying job in Dubai, definitely do not leave. You'll pay more taxes in Canada and not save up as much as you did back there. Migrating to Canada seems all hunky-dory until the reality of taxes and finding a job...

Hi, I just started following this post. Have any of you received the RCMP request? Please update my details on the spreadsheet. Already added to the Tracker.

Sorry for the delay in updating my status. Not been checking this forum at all. Took me a while to get the signature in.

Sorry for being late to the party. Unless the experts you have talked to in this forum, are actual professionals working for the ministry or are immigration lawyers (whose motives can be construed as heavily biased with respect to immigration cases), they honestly cannot claim with full...

Work permit applications took too long to process in Summer '15 applications, so a lot of people, including yours truly, had been working without a work permit for a few months. After you graduate, ie you receive a letter stating you're finished with your program and you apply for a work...

It will count towards FSW but not CEC. I have had multiple confirmations. You are working on a work permit when you work for a long-term paid internship. I contacted CIC and at a talk at my university, an official from the ministry confirmed that paid internships count towards FSW for Express...

Hi Alex Z, That's absolutely not true. I applied for a TRV on Saturday evening. I got my passport request by 3pm on Monday. It took literally less than one full working day to process it. Based on the last time I applied, the request comes after the sticker has been printed out by CPP in Ottawa...

I don't think that would be necessary at all. I applied this Saturday evening for a TRV after getting work permit in the mail on Thursday and got a passport request today afternoon, ie. Monday. Based on my last experience with the process, I got it back within a week.

Hello all, I had a weird thing happen when I resubmitted my profile: I first submitted my express entry profile in late June and my score was 441. I resubmitted it today and my score jumped all the way up to 466. The reason for the bump up was because my education score has gone up by about...

I had a weird thing happen when I resubmitted my profile: I first submitted my express entry profile in late June and my score was 441. I resubmitted it today and my score jumped all the way up to 466. The reason for the bump up was because my education score has gone up by about 10-15 points...

Hi Hardik, I have gone through the TRV process a year ago. This is how it works: 1. You need to get 2 express pre-paid envelopes. The dimensions are mentioned in the form. I believe it is a standard and a letter size. 2. You address the letter size to yourself and the standard to the processing...

Hi everyone, After waiting for over 3 months, my work permit was approved. Applied: 8th June Blank updates: A couple, did not pay attention to the dates. Approved: 11th September Waiting to receive it in the mail.
