    How hard is it to get LMIA for new graduate?

    The hardest hurdle I saw was meeting the median wage requirement of you NOC. For example, the median wage for a computer programmer (NOC 2171) in Toronto is $35.90/hour. You have to make at least that amount to recieve a positive LMIA assessment. If you don't make at least the median wage in...

    Predictions for 8th Draw :: Dates of Draw | CRS Cut-off Score | No of ITA Issued

    Predition Cutoff: 475 Draw Date: April 24, 2015 Applicants: ~900 We will all be left confused and our hope will be dampened. Any hope that is left will be squashed the following draw seeing the cutoff score only drop by 3 points to 472. We begin to realise that the number of new applicants is...

    Those above 455+ what do you think?

    Exactly the same thing, as did many others. Didn't see very many post about declining ITA after the last draw so I would expect a drop for the 8th draw now that people are properly filling out their profiles. I don't understand why they can't add this simple code that would have saved a lot of...

    Those above 455+ what do you think?

    464 Declined FSW ITA after 6th draw for an CEC ITA in the 7th draw. Yea, that didn't happen. Only 5 points out so not too worried but was quite surprised to see the cut off rise to 469. It will eventually come down but I think CIC will keep the score around 450+ for a while.

    Predictions for 7th Draw :: Dates of Draw | CRS Cut-off Score | No of ITA Issued

    There will be a TON of people at 444 that qualify for CEC. Most international students on a PGWP with 1 year working experience will have 444 points, assuming they got the highest range on their language test (CELPIP 10+). Not sure if 2niharika chose that number because of that but I think his...

    Advice please CEC & FSW

    You definitely understand the process and I agree with what you say. If that's the case then we will keep getting an FSW invite with no way to make her FSW ineligible. PoF is already entered very low so I doubt entering $0 will make her FSW ineligible. So she will be stuck in an infinite loop of...

    Advice please CEC & FSW

    UPDATE: Question was asked earlier today here... http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/owp-and-pgwp-fsw-applicants-i-called-cic-about-proof-of-funds-t277537.0.html In this unique case, it appears that NOA & T4 may supplement the $12k requirement. That is what I...

    Advice please CEC & FSW

    It's weird though because she never met the minimum fund requirement. I just saw someone posted above that they want a T4/paystub for FSW. It looks like a full time annual income might replace the $12k minimum requirement in some cases such as hers.

    Advice please CEC & FSW

    My gf was just offered an ITA for FSW. She put down her funds which are significantly under $12k and has no foreign work experience. She currently has work experience in Canada and is working full time with no LMIA/LMO under the PGWP. Going to look at her personal checklist tonight, but why...

    Confused! Fund Requirement- CEC Candidates

    Apparently my GF qualifies for FSW even though her Proof of Funds is less than the minimum requirement (around $12k). She qualifies for CEC as well. If she gets an FSW ITA I don't know what will happen. Currently living in Canada. So confused ???

    Query on Level of education entry in EE

    Does anyone have a follow up on what to fill out? I put "Post-secondary program credential of three years or longer" for the first Bachelor degree and then "Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program...

    Proof of Funds - Help!

    Okay thanks for the reply! Looks like the general consensus is that a minimum POF is still not required for CEC. I want to call CIC at some point and confirm - I'll let you guys know the response here. CIC should really make it clear though. I understand they are still updating their documents...

    Proof of Funds - Help!

    I've never thought of it like that before. Logically POF shouldn't be a requirement for those going the CEC route. If you do find out anything for sure please let me know! I will be phoning CIC in the next while to see if they can clarify. We're still presumably a couple months away from getting...

    Proof of Funds - Help!

    Hmm, I'm hoping that is the case. Anyone going the CEC route with an ITA able to confirm? It seem very counter intuitive for someone in Canada with a full time permanent position requiring proof of funds even though they are already successfully supporting themselves while working.

    Proof of Funds - Help!

    From here: cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.) I guess that doesn't include owning real estate,only if someone is paying you rent? Thanks again jes_ON, I will be adding...

    Proof of Funds - Help!

    Ahh thanks for the quick reply jes_ON. You confirmed what I was thinking about real estate. A joint account should be acceptable as poof of funds since it has her name on it but it would be nice to know 100%. I don't mind sending money to her account but CIC usually requests 6 months of...

    Proof of Funds - Help!

    CEC through Express Entry now requires proof of funds of at least $11,931 for 1 applicant with no dependents which you have to prove when you get your ITA. 1. Can this include a down payment already deposited under the principal applicant on pre-construction retail property (Condo) in Canada...

    Post-Graduation Work Permit

    Called CIC today and got a different answer than what they said earlier. Instead of renewing my status as a student, I have to renew my status as a visitor since I'm not returning to school and then I can apply for the Post-Graduation Work Permit. But I have to have a valid study permit in order...

    Post-Graduation Work Permit

    I am an international student and in order to apply for a "Post-Graduation Work Permit" you need to be holding a valid study permit & have confirmation that you successfully completed your program. I just finished my program at college, my study permit expired August 31, 2013 but my confirmation...
