There might be some hope for some of us to be offered ITAs in the next couple of draws ;D

I remember someone here researched the min number of points for someone with a LMIA to be eligible under the FST program and that was something close 100 points, so we shouldn't have any people with scores between 600 and 700 points. With that said, I wouldn't go and say all people with 500+...

Re: give the "TEF: Test d'évaluation de français" - upto additional 26 points DELF/DALF will give you no points at all, only French test they accept for EE is TEF.

I'm also working on a NATFA work permit. I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere NAFTA work permits can get renewed an indefinite number of times like that CIC agent told you, but I can't remember where. I already asked my employer to get me a free LMIA; just a heads up, the process is supposed to...

Yes, you can. Could you do a forum search before creating a new thread for this? This question has been asked many times already.

Consider the worst possible situation: Even if you have to go back home, your EE score will still be 441 and your chances of getting an ITA will be exactly the same as of right now. So you might have to work back home for a couple of months, but sooner than later you will get an ITA (441 is a...

That's what I thought too... oh well, looks like we're in for a wait.

You might find this thread to be interesting/useful Salli, a few people were talking about BC PNP just a few days ago: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/ee-bc-pnp-t270758.0.html

You can start looking for a job before you become a PR, you know? And you don't need no job bank for that.

Second draw's cutoff was ~818 and third draw's cutoff is ~808 and there were around ~850 people given an ITA during this third draw. There are also apparently a very large number of people who have a LMIA and barely over 700 points in total that aim at getting an ITA under the foreign skill...

Sounds like CIC messed up the immigration program they put you in and now they're making you pay for their mistake. True story.

Max is actually 600. But ~550 is more realistic. Wishful thinking detected.

Thanks for this thread Ritwick and thanks abinto for the info about your buddy's experience. Man, now this means I should go back and update my EE profile again because of CIC's retarded structuring/wording of questions about job offers and LMIAs. I also have a valid job offer and I've been...

Wait, this third draw's cutoff was 808? Wasn't second draw's cutoff 818? If that's the case, I might as well get comfy while I wait. This will take a long time...

I'm glad it's not just me, I was starting to freak out! :o

Most applicants from French-speaking countries wanting to apply for PR through EE would be able to get top marks for both languages provided they're good enough at English. Also applicants from English-speaking countries who speak an intermediate/advanced level of French would also have close to...

Re: give the "TEF: Test d'évaluation de français" - upto additional 26 points I listen to Europe1 podcasts a lot, you can find them here: http://www.europe1.fr/podcasts. I especially like Caroline Dublanche's Libre Antenne (http://www.europe1.fr/emissions/libre-antenne) because there's...

Re: give the "TEF: Test d'évaluation de français" - upto additional 26 points That info is here (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp) and here (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp). So to get the max 24 points for French if you're taking...

There would be no reason for such a person not to have applied and obtained permanent residency years ago (after all they would have been working in Canada for 5+ years). 560 would be a more realistic top score for a person with no LMIA nor PNP (PhD, aged 20-30, top marks for English and French...

I'm in the same boat, I already have two police certificates issued in October 2014 from two different countries where I lived for longer than six months before I came to Canada that I haven't even visited again and have no plans on visiting again in the short term future. But apparently for...
