    Ordering GCMS Notes from outside Canada

    I used gcmsnow.com, got my notes in 30 days. Though there were recently cases where people got their notes in 15 days. Hate to tell you that, but as an outland applicant, your BG check will most likely stay the same for a couple months more. If you check out outlanders' timelines, you'll see...

    Question regarding job

    I think you're okay, what I meant by duties not changing is them still corresponding to the same NOC. As for how many job titles to mention, that somewhat depends on what format your reference letter will be. I you have a separate letter for every job title, create a separate entry for each of...

    Landing Question - no direct flight

    I've been to a Canadian Orientation Abroad seminar in March, organized by IRCC and IOM, and they mentioned this common myth. The truth is, it's not the air carrier's responsibility to make sure you can clear the immigration formalities and board your next flight. The IOM officer said there have...

    Question regarding job

    Should be enough, as long as your supporting documents state that in all those designations your duties stayed the same and corresponded to the NOC you've chosen. I had three job titles, none of which correspond to what I actually do and to my NOC, and while I haven't gotten a PPR yet, I think...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Well, there is the settlement section of this forum, though I think it's more suitable to get answers to the smaller, particular and immidiate questions you might have. I believe every province has a website for newcomers with all kinds of settlement information, from how to get your first...

    HELP! Website says I'm not eligible for express entry!

    Good luck, let us know how it goes! I know that there is a way to report a technical issue once you have an EE profile. Maybe there is a way, too, even before you create it? Or wait, you do have an EE profile, you just can't submit it to the pool, right? Then I think there should be a button...

    HELP! Website says I'm not eligible for express entry!

    Oh, that's a good suggestion! That's exactly one of those elusive things that's easy to miss and hard to catch afterwards but renders the entire application ineligible!

    HELP! Website says I'm not eligible for express entry!

    Yeah, that is a generic message, not really informative. You do seem to qualify, the only reason left I can think of is some stupid technical mistake. Maybe try it this way: give yourself a couple days to rest and try to not think about this at all. Then when you're hopefully able to look at...

    HELP! Website says I'm not eligible for express entry!

    One way to try and clarify this could be checking out your high school's website, maybe there is some official documentation there that would state the level of education they're working at, or something. If this is correct though, we come back to the question of why you can't submit your...

    HELP! Website says I'm not eligible for express entry!

    Huh, wait, guys, look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_school#Canada I realize Wikipedia is not the most trusted source, but it can't be that wrong, can it? If "secondary" is, indeed, high school, you might get those additional 5 FSW points for adaptability after all. How long...

    HELP! Website says I'm not eligible for express entry!

    Like IcedCoffee said, your FSW score seems to be 66, just one point short of the requirement, unfortunately. A possible solution could be to just wait one more year: you won't loose any points for age yet, but you'll get 2 additional points for foreign work experience, and that'll give you 68...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Yesterday's rain was mostly for FSW/CEC Inlands, are you applying under one of those streams? Congratulations! Everything is fine, your myCIC status will change once your passport is stamped, or it might not change at all, there were a few cases like that, too. There should be a section in your...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Don't worry, BG is in process from the early stages for most inland applicants. The ones who are happy with their BG going in progress are mostly outlands, you can confirm this by looking at the spreadsheets. I'd say your application is within normal timeline, you just have to hang on a little...

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Hmmm, I do have a single entry under both "security" and "criminality", and it dates to Nov 29 and says "status: not started". Do you think that means they requested the checks on Nov 29? Or that they put me in a queue for the checks or something? Wow, it must be a nervous time for you. You...

    Provinces that give extra points with provincial nomination AND others deduct

    That's right, and it'll be 600. Any PNP will give you +600 points, and that's the only influence any province can have on your CRS score. Though they haven't been sending invitations for some time now. Better check the separate topic on this stream. As far as I know, Ontario is the only...
