If you really want to get Canadian PR, never send your application to CPC-Ottawa!

Certainly possible. Doesn't have to be continues either: Company A -> Gap -> Company B You're good as long as both positions you held are in NOC 0, A or B category and the combined total of work experience duration is 1 year.

@Big_Boy, Your posts do not bother me. But it does bother me to see too many questions on IELTS in the CEC section, while the requirments are explained clearly in the CIC website. CEC is based on a pass/fail system. Once you meet the requirements, there's nothing to worry about.

Can you guys stop posting IELTS questions in the CEC section? There's an entire section dedicated to IELTS: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/ielts-international-english-language-testing-system-b53.0/ And please visit the CIC website once in a while. It's supposed to...

Either works.

This is old news. Unfortunately, the cap will be reached way before April 30, 2015.

Thanks and good luck to you too!

Not a big deal. At a later time, they will ask for new photos if you made some mistake.

Are you sure it's urgent? I can help review the "completeness" of your application, not for free :D, but then again, with no guarantees whatsoever. I am applying on my own by the way.

Tracker for September: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao7BC5kOv95AdE9vdlFNYWdqR1pTV0ZqU2F1SmNCaEE&usp=sharing Used Feb 2014 tracker, created by iam_toby, as template.

From what I have observed in this forum (and this is purely my personal observation), applicants can, "usually", expect to receive it ~7 months , at the latest, from the date their apps are received at CIO.

Hello Maria, -> You should not have any problem applying at the moment. Send them copies of the passport again (after getting AOR) once it's renewed. -> You can get medical exams done in your home country. You don't have to be in Canada. You are free to go home. =)

It's almost September fellas! So excited! Who else is applying in September? I will create the tracker when I have time.. or one of you could help me out!

No, but you can request a re-evaluation. Costs $55. There is hope, because the Speaking section is not evaluated by computers, but by human examiners. However, it takes 6-8 weeks for Paragon to get back to you with the results of re-evaluation.

Lol, more forecasts. So we both agree mid-November might be too late to apply. Anyways, let's not discourage potential applicants. Even CIC itself would not be able to come up with an accurate forecast - so there's still hope!

Yes, it gets returned pretty quickly, because they won't check to see if it's complete.

Have to agree with you, but we may never know.

No. It's clearly (latest update) 2,486 / 8,000 in CIC website. Does not include old submissions before resetting caps. EDIT: I see your point. But then again, would the following apps count towards the new cap or old cap: those that were sent (mailed) before May 1 but for which the AOR were...

The "number of total apps received" in CIC website represents those for which AOR has been sent out. You based your response on the figure from August 12, which was 2,147. Assuming it takes 50 days to receive AOR: -> 2,147 actually represents all apps received on ~ June 22. -> So basically...
