You were correct to send the passport and you will likely get it back before you move.

You can leave Canada and apply immediately. However, you will need to report where you have lived and what you were doing in the last 10 years. IRCC will very quickly find out that you were illegally in Canada and this will be a problem for you. Perhaps @scylla can provide more insights on this...

The currency is important, as you need to show that the funds in the other currency meet the minimum required for POF, which is in Canadian dollars.

Debt obligations have no weight on you PR application. They are not interested in your net worth, they are interested whether you can financially support yourself over the next months when you come to Canada. This is why you need to show money in an account and not other assets like property...

The point of my post was to point out the only risk. There is no law of Canada that says you can’t mail a travel document outside of Canada. It’s quite common and usually necessary. This is also one of the most common questions asked on this forum. A quick search would have answered your question.

Fully agree and you made some good points that clarify what I was getting at. I think anyone should take advantage of the system to their fullest ability. I wasn’t trying to advocate against that. But when you are sitting for months or even years in the 420s without a job offer, I think it’s...

I feel like people too often want to jump right to PR without offering something. I lived in Canada for 5 years as a student and then a worker before I applied for an got my PR. Here is some unsolicited advice: the Canadian immigration system is very generous, but the country’s economic...

Unfortunately, no. Only NOC 0 (zero), A and B are accepted through the economic programs.

It would be a waste of time and money to apply for PNP if you are already competitively eligible for CEC. Depending on your NOC class, you need a minimum CLB of 7 in all areas to qualify for CEC.

You need at least a 7 in all categories for NOC A jobs. You should retest anyway because it’s the easiest way to improve your CRS score.

Spousal sponsorship just adds more expense and time to the process. You are better off improving your score by retesting your language or acquiring another year of work experience or landing a valid job offer.

You can get your medical from any panel physician in the world. IRCC only tells you when to get the exam.

You will need to get new photos per the IRCC specifications.

Sounds like you have a good plan. Worst that could happen is the card gets lost in the mail.

I have used a channeler (My FBI Report and it was worth the money), but I am a U.S. citizen.

Yes, you can be rejected if at any point IRCC learns you are inadmissible to Canada. Practically, there are no other "checkpoints" in the process for controlling this after PPR, so you can really only be rejected if you disclose information that would make you inadmissible (serious crimes...

You should be more careful about the recommendations that you make on this forum because they have real consequences for people. It clearly states on the IRCC website that only U.S. persons can use a chaneller. More than that, you ARE misrepresenting yourself to the chaneller if you obtain a...

No, the burden of proof is always on the applicant when dealing with IRCC.

I can speak from experience. I think it's obvious that you can be eligible to be invited under multiple programs. For me, I entered foreign and Canadian work experience and my ITA said both FSW and CEC. Because of that, POF was a required document on my checklist. I ultimately declined the ITA...

Did you also enter foreign employment in your work history?
