I think this is where you would upload both the degree and ECA as one document. What is your spouse's degree?

The question by IRCC is not "which countries have you visited in the last 10 years that are traceable?" My suggestion to use commercial entries and exits is that they have a record the OP can use to substantiate a trip.

Yes, combine into one document.

Initially, you need only mention the number of full years of work experience. Then you fill in the dates (month/year) for each job. You will need to get a letter of reference from each employer. This part is a real time suck. The letter needs specific details. You can supplement letters with...

Yes, at least scan all pages with biases or stamps. It's good practice to scan all pages, stamped or not. It should be self explanatory. The VO knows your birthdate and the reasons you wouldn't include that information in your history. It also doesn't hurt your application to reiterate that it...

I am leaning towards waiting as well. No need to risk $1000 for a couple weeks wait. I have a good CRS ranking so I am certain I can get in on a later draw. On the bright side, I nearly have all my documents prepared. Do I need to wait for ITA before getting upfront medical? I know that this...

I understand and I was half-joking. The reality is that these are real countries and the borders do exist whether they are controlled or not. I have travelled Europe several times, resulting in about a couple dozen entries to different countries in my travel history. Some only for a day or...

(2) Yes, you do not need to record trips between country of origin and Canada while you lived in Canada. (3) Travel is not typically considered residence. I used my parents address when I was "in between places". Your address history locations should corroborate your work history locations and...

Well you must of had a flight to get from Canada to UK, it's a long swim. Is there an itinerary in your email or a receipt of that somewhere? Your passport would have been stamped on entering the UK or at least inspected.

This is wrong. IRCC website says the following requirements to get credit for Canadian university degree: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp Full time in this case is defined by the university. Yes, you would get credit! Go for it!

Well that's just not true. If there were no borders, then IRCC wouldn't be interested, eh? ;) Not sure how it works in those European countries, but in Canada and US you can request the record of your entries and exits. It's painful, but in practice you probably only need to report travel...

(1) Any employment should be corroborated with your work history and supported by reference letters. Internships will not give you any credit in employment, so you could just say you studied from 2000-2004. (2) In this case, assuming you were living in Canada in June 2016, then IRCC is only...

Yes, both primary applicant and spouse are required to submit same supporting documents for employment, education, travel, and residence histories.

Yes, I would be honest about where the company is located and record that city in personal history while recording your residence properly in address history. You should definitely explain the discrepancy in LOE since VO will wonder.

Thanks for sharing that link. I think we have our answer here:

Do this.

You should put the city where the activity took place. For example: Unemployed - your city of residence Employed - the city of your office or employer Study - the city of your university Travel - the city where you travelled

Your best course of action would be to get a new letter. Any letter without an end date or dated a long time ago will raise red flags with the VO. Make sure the reference letter includes job duties, salary and benefits, start and end dates (if not current employer). Details about how good a...

A few possible options: (A) decline your current ITA, and resubmit your EE profile with your spouse and wait for new ITA; (B) attach proof that you have attempted to get PCC, submit LOE stating you require revised ITA or letter from IRCC to request PCC; or (C) contact IRCC before submitting...

I should have revised my post. I later realized my PGWP was issued Jan 5 2016. I clarified elsewhere that I applied for PGWP at a land border, so I had my application assessed in-person and the permit was issued minutes later. Consequently, my start date was also Jan 5, to match my PGWP.
