were both of you guys inside the 4 month prior-expiration of your current WP? Cause my calculations indicate me that my AOR could be approved and sent 5 months before my closed WP expires. However it has been told to me that there are no more funding for my research position after August 31st...

I agree. I just sent (July) a copy of my degree confirmation (just in case), but no transcripts or confirmations were requested. Anyways, anything that happens in Canada is easy to check for them.

Explain....how did you get to apply without an AOR?...did you write an explanatory letter or something?....as I understand the officers take decisions based mostly on the material you send....it blows my mind how you got that BOWP....did you get any other confirmation from CIC that was not the AOR?

then use those (your duties from the reference letter). I used less cause I only had space for 3, but my boss wrote like 5, 6 of them. I think it is more important that the info is not contradictory and that the NOC code resembles what you did in your job (which should be highlighted in the...

on what determines the speed of your PR application? is it just how busy the officers are? (meaning that when there are strikes, like now, it gets even slower) or maybe how difficult is for the officer to double-check your filled information, + new info gathering? Or does the experience...

So if you had a work permit expiring in a year....do you think they will grant a BOWP to someone whose permit will expire in 5 months instead of 4?, did you mentioned you were unemployed?

I sent mine one yesterday July 3rd....it has being received by CIO-Sidney, NS, now (I live in NS, so it takes no time to arrive), July 4th 2013. Does anyone knows if it is CIO-Sydney the one that issues the AOR or it will be CPP-Ottawa? Cheers

write a letter explaining this and send the wrong one. As it is explained in the guide, they can and will ask for a police certificate a later time, as usually a significant amount of time has passed between the issue of the certificate and the date were the officer is looking at it (this...

Re: National Identity yes, everything that you present and it is written in a language other than English/French must be translated. I had the same problem, and didn't have a translation, so I didn't even bother to fill that in. Your passport is the most important thing, and hopefully that is...

OMG I realized that I used the old 4 number NOC code (2111, physics)....do you think that the officer will realize this? or will he reject my application?

thanks buddy...I have written a letter explaining this and now I'm ready to submit. Now, when you say I should be ready to submit new police certificates, do you mean that they won't give me more than a couple of days to gather them? Cheers

It took me longer than I thought to complete my PR application (gathering documents), so now my police certificates are 4 months old :( (and the rules say that they shouldn't be older than 3 months) Then I read the CEC application guide and it says that one has to provide certificates for the...

So I graduated from a Canadian institution (PhD), I worked in Canada for a 2 .5 years (yeah, I didn't apply to CEC then...I'm dumb), went overseas to work for 4 months, then I've been back in Canada for more than a year with a closed work permit (valid till January). I can't find my 3 year open...

Hi Are you serious that getting an AOR can be that fast?, 4-6 weeks? (or at least faster than 6 months)....now my employer said that he is not sure about that there is enough funding till January where my contract ends. My question is, if I find myself unemployed but with valid WP and AOR, can...

Hi guys. So I'm in a tough position. I know that some foreign workers have managed to claim EI benefits if they are layoff, as long as their WP is valid. Well, I had a 1-year contract (and I have been working already in my lab for another year), I renewed my work permit, but the CIC officer...

So more than 6 months ago I was (almost) ready to apply. I had my reference letter, etc. But I couldn't get a police certificate at time, so I had to delay my application. My question is, back then when I asked for my reference letter, I had like 2 years of experience working for my employer...
