The CIC agents appear to know next to nothing about what's going on, I haven't heard of one useful piece of information that they've told someone that you couldn't get from the CIC website or by asking one of the experienced members on this forum. CIC's processes seem to be a mystery to...

But the October applicants would still with the unopened applications at that date so would fall within the cap, no? MONKUCHA it does look like yycsilverback is saying that, I just hope he is correct and has not made a mistake. My application arrived on the 30th Oct and I see yours arrived on...

I think the person who said their draft was cashed having applied on October 27th was mistaken: cc's are not being charged at that date yet and the drafts are usually encashed later than cc's. Having said that, I still think all October applicants will still be fine, CEC are just being...

It's now taking over 4 months to get AOR, when previously it took about 1 month to get it. Does this mean it's going to take 44 months for the whole process to be completed, as opposed to the approximately 11 months it previously took? What a disastrous time to be applying for PR

Unfortunately AOR is currently taking about 4 months to arrive roserosy, CIC slowed down dramatically in the second half of last year

Don't panic, it's always slow at the start of the week, people usually start reporting that CCs have been charged towards the middle of the week. October applicants will be well within the cap

April? Express Entry has already started as a first step. The requirements for CEC will be the same if you get an Invitation to Apply through Express entry, and it is correct that you must accumulate 1 year of work in the past 3 years, so your sister will only have to complete 2 more weeks of...

I'm trying to register with Job Bank but when I get to the Validation page and am asked to input my SIN, it will not let me continue with the registration because it says that my SIN is temporary (which it is, for the duration of my current visa) and I need a permanent SIN to apply (which I...

Thanks ashrafgk

Hi all, just filling in my EE profile intending to apply via CEC: I'm already working in a job which did not require an LMIA. In the section "intended work in Canada", under the question "Do you have a job offer in Canada" I am going to put down "yes" and give details of my current employer...

Even if 4,537 / 8,000 (count till 26-11-2014) is the number of AORs issued, all applications received before Jan 1st 2015 should fall within the cap; there were 8000 released in May 2014 so at the this rate, everyone who gets their application in by he end of 2014 should be fine

Sorry to hear that faming. You would think CIC could call applicants and just take payment by credit card over the phone in cases like this, or at least check to see why payment is not going through. A 2 minute phone call could save applicants months of work and waiting. It's very unreasonable...

Thanks for your replies hope and abicool. I just got an email from CIC (in the last 20 mins, after I had posted that question) with some EE info which stated this: 2) If you were educated outside Canada, you may need to have your educational credentials (your foreign degree, diploma or...

Will ECA be mandatory for all Express Entry candidates?Or is it only the FSWP VISA that requires it? How long does that take to get after you apply?

Apply under both would seem like the safest option. Apply under current system asap and then take the first steps in applying under Express Entry next year... if you get your application under the current system you will be fine, if not you have the backup of Express Entry, which should be fine...

Thanks for your reply

I have seen a lot of references to IELTS scores and the points they will be awarded under Express Entry. Will CELPIP also be recognized by the new system, as it is one of the recognized English language tests under the current CEC system?

Ha ha yeah I noticed that! Damn foreigners, coming over here taking out jobs and our women! ;D

I think you're probably right Praneet (I hope you are), but there's a lot of speculation in the media about Express Entry which does not make for encouraging reading. The director of skills policy at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has said this: "We weren't aware that a labour market impact...

I noticed that you get 5 points for 1 year's work experience, which is almost insignificant compared to the amount of points they're offering for other categories, such as age, education, LMIA etc. So 1 years Canadian work experience counts for the same amount of points advantage as being 31 has...
