Hi Andy, We are not making fun of you! Sorry, if you feel offended. It's just the frustration taking over... Nobody really knows when the next draw is but it is most likely tomorrow (Dec 14th) An indication for that is, that IRCC asked everybody to update their profile till Dec 12th. So they...

hahaha! my first true laugh today!

The points on the day of the ITA count. Doesn't matter if you get older and lose points afterwards. Your birthday only matters if you you don't make the cut before you turn older. Good luck for the next draw!

Yes, a few people in Ontario with CRS over 400 are waiting for a long time... "Please note that the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration has placed a temporary pause on the intake of applications for the Human Capital Priorities Stream. However, all applications received before the pause...

Happy belated birthday! Although getting older also means less points...I was in the same dilemma not too long ago. Your points will automatically decrease.

Hi prerak, If you are talking about an ECA (Educational Credential Assessment) provided by WES (World Education Service) than yes: it is highly recommended if you have a post-secondary education from a non Canadian university/ institute and want to get points for your credentials in order to...

ITA: Invitation to Apply - Express Entry candidates who appear to meet the minimum entry criteria (MEC) are automatically entered into the Express Entry pool. Once in the pool, candidates are eligible to be issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the program(s) whose requirements they appear to...

No kidding!!! Sitting on my 466 points, which I thought were good. But apparently not good enough. It's really frustrating. Also I'm waiting for my LMIA to be processed, which might take another 4-6 weeks. That immigration process time is challenging my patience but there is nothing that we can...

Sitting here with 466 and no luck for ITA so far.... I started to learn French and also reached out to my MP asking to consult on how I can speed things up. The disappointing answer was that I'm already on the fastest track - I have to be more patient (which I am since October 2015). Only a job...

...as people here predicted it... Still frustrating! Sitting with 466 points and hoping for more luck in 2 weeks. Not easy to improve your points when companies are not motivated to do LMIA... Stay positive guys!

The job needs to be posted under the job bank: employer.jobbank.gc.ca/employer/ (for some reason I cannot post links)

Hang in there (if testicles can do it, you can do it!). Same situation for me: work permit expired and I'm hoping 466 is my lucky number - so waiting for aor is dragging the days. Stay positive (see my name ;) ) and never give up.

Thanks. I really appreciate it. I heard it's a risk to go back home while PR application is pending. Not a huge fan of taking that kind of risks... I reside in Toronto and plan to live here permanently, so better wait till PR is approved I guess. Thanks again for your input!

NM! Just found my answer. In case you need to find out: cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp

One more question. If I travel to the US for a weekend, do I need to apply for Canadian eTA to return? I know that I need US ESTA. Thank you

Thanks for your input. That's a good point and makes sense as my friend did the same when she immigrated to the US. I just want to be sure that I can return to Canada without any issues and without affecting my EE application.

Thank you so much for your reply! No criminal record, a visitor visa and a valid German passport - looks like my mom should expect her daughter to visit soon :-*

Hi guys, Currently I'm hanging with 466 points in the EE pool and was wondering if one of you have experience with traveling outside Canada. Since my work permit expired and I was forced to stop working, I'm in the country with a visitor visa and hope that 466 is my lucky number to make the cut...
