Research "Express Entry". That is the method to follow to go over to Canada as a skilled worker. You need to pass a series of English tests, score enough points via education, age, and other factors (I am assuming you have formal qualifications testifying that you are a chef)?

I also live in South Africa, believe me I have it worse than you do Melody (we have no BEE laws protecting us here). I can honestly tell you that asylum will not work as Joksuela mentioned above. Hope you can get out of here, people abroad have no idea how bad things are in this country - but...

Hi. AOR2 works in two ways...(i) you will get an e-mail from the local visa office acknowledging that your file has been received. This usually happens a week or so after sponsor receives e-mail that file is transferred. (ii) in the PA's ECAS, the status changes to "In Process", in stead of the...

Hi there, I am glad I could help. I am glad I can help others in some way or another. Feel free to PM me any questions that you might have and I will assist where I can :) We got sponsorship approval on 10 January, biometrics were completed and the file is now at our local visa office since 21...

Okay thanks so much. I was getting worried since most other applicants already get their medical request early on in the process, seems like Pretoria does it later on. Then I don't need to be as worried. Thank you :)

Hi, mine is. Although I see you are already done with the process, congrats! Tried to PM you...

Hi all, my app is also being processed at Pretoria VO. AOR2 e-mail received from Pretoria on 21 January. Anybody here who also had their medical request only at a later stage? Seems as if Pretoria requests medicals very late during the process, or am I missing something?

Hi, I am also getting my app processed at Pretoria. Would you mind if I ask you a few questions about their methods of doing things? I am getting stressed because I have not received any form of medical request yet, but my app has been transferred to Pretoria and I did receive AOR2 already...

I'm in the same boat as you. AOR2 received about two weeks ago, file received by local VO on 17 Jan (or somewhere near that date) and no medical request yet. Seems as though they check other things first before requesting medicals, which probably makes sense as the medicals can expire and I...

I did yes. I received an e-mail on the 17th of January, about a week after sponsor approval. Then on the 21st I received an e-mail from my local VO that they received it. And on the 24th of January ECAS showed "in process" for PA. No medical yet. I have seen some cases where medicals are only...

In principal applicant's ECAS it should say "we started processing your application". Mine was updated today, it says that my application is being processed now. Still no medical request. But I think the next 6 months will be a waiting game. Would have been great if it could happen sooner, but I...

AS far as I know, PA's ECAS should say "We started processing your application".

Also in the Supply Chain industry. Did you eventually manage to get employment?

Hi guys, trying my best to form some sort of network here. We will be moving to Canada this year around June/July (latest). Although I have sent countless job applications and cover letters on indeed and job bank, I have not received a single response. I hold a bachelor's degree from my country...

Mine says the same. Busy reviewing background and eligibility, and also received e-mail from local VO that application was received. But no medical yet and no AOR2 in ECAS yet.

Have you tried phoning them? Search the forums how to phone CIC via Google Hangouts. They will be able to tell you whether your application is in the system or not.

I think I jumped the gun too soon. I (principal applicant) received an e-mail from our local VO that states "This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on 2018/09/11". But the ECAS says nothing...

Hi, I am hoping you might have an answer for me. The AOR2 e-mail you speak of, will it just be an e-mail that says "We received your application" from the local visa office's address? My ECAS does not have the third line yet, but I (principal applicant) did however receive an e-mail from my...

Hi there. I saw that you applied through the Pretoria VO, our application is also being processed by them. If you have time, would you mind if I PM you to find out some of your timelines? We applied in September 2018 and received AOR 2 today...was just wondering what to expect next. Thanks :)

Hi, how fast was the Pretoria VO with your application?
