Hi all, could you please advise me in this situation: I have worked with the same employer for 4 years, performing the same duties that correspond to my education and to my NOC. However, due to how employment works in my field in my country, my job titles changed through the years three times...

Oh, thank you so much! It did work!

Hi all, I am uploading the documents to submit my e-APR, and the system won't accept .pdf files for some reason: "Validation error: You have not completed the mandatory fields or you have not completed them correctly. Please make corrections where indicated. Error Description: You have...

Thanks a lot, joelmath!

Because people prefer to err on the side of caution) Every country's standards are different. I don't know what would constitute a "certified translation" or a "certified copy" in my country and whether that would coincide with the CIC's definition. I know, however, that a notarized translation...

Well, that's your choice, obviously, and I do realize getting all your documents notarized is costly and a pain in the ass, and I'd like to avoid it, too - but my life has taught me that it's just always better to have more documents than less. It might have worked in case of Lady M, but there...

Ah, I haven't thought about the dependants of the principal applicants! You're absolutely right, of course. Hmm, but I think I've read something about outland applications being processed faster than the inland ones? I thought that was due to LVOs having less work than the VOs in Canada. Maybe...

Sorry for re-posting, but could anybody please comment on this and ease my mind a little? I'm sending my docs to a translator really soon, as my ITA expiring date is looming, and I have to decide which documents to send.

Re: ITA PR - Translation of documents When you're getting a notarized translation, don't they usually sew the translation to a copy of the original document? Will that be the required certified copy and notarized translation? If yes, I think the reason they want this is to make sure the...

I did the same, entered 79 as the country code and the other two digits of the operator's code and my personal number (9 digits total) as the phone number. I've read about people doing that when they had the same problem. I've also read that it's more or less common practice and that if you...

Ooooh, I didn't know that! I thought every application goes through some kind of central office at some point. That's good news! Do you know if there is a list of VOs somewhere? I want to see where is my VO.

That's just my speculation! Don't want to mislead anyone) I don't know for sure as I haven't submitted my e-APR yet.

Thanks a lot, mcadam! Can you please also comment about the PPR? I think the status stays the same in your myCIC account, but changes in ECAS.

I think I remember something about having to create a new Job Bank account for a new EE account. You better check that at the CIC website.

Can anybody please take the time to clarify the process for me a bit? I'll just be submitting my e-APR in a couple days. As far as I understand, it goes like this: - you submit your e-APR, - you get an AOR, - they check the application for completeness, and you get access to ECAS where you can...

You mean, you get accepted through a PNP, land in that province, and then move to another one? Well, after you land, you're a PR, and have the right to move freely within the country and to live wherever you want. As of now they don't have any legal instruments to make you stay in the province...

I don't think so. I think it would only matter if you select Quebec, as they have their own rules. Also, if you plan to go through a PNP for, say, Manitoba, but you've chosen Ontario in the application, the Manitoba PNP officers will have access to that information and you'll have trouble...

Do you think they're hiring additional staff to process the 25k refugees? Even then, you have to train the new staff first... If they don't, I think the draws will still be regular and of the same size (approx. 1500), or else they won't meet the year's economic immigration targets. So that...

Thank you for the reply! I know what you mean, I just thought the FSW points were no longer relevant, replaced by the CRS points. Just calculated my FSW points and luckily, I'm above 67. I almost had a heart attack))

I was thinking the same thing. That means the cutoff scores should drop once they process the backlogs from past years and have to reach yearly immigration targets through EE only, and therefore rise the number of applications selected in every draw? Maybe they'll also start fine-tuning the...
