    Police certificate

    It technically isn't required if you were present in a country less than 6 months. However, it would be good to include to submit under additional documents.

    Filling up the PR application

    You can claim points for foreign experience from the last 10 years. You can claim points for Canadian experience from the last 3 years. Do not put any jobs you don't not want to claim points for in your employment history. This will go in your personal history section.

    Processing times are given here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html For PR, you are looking at approximately 6 months. This is not a given. Each case is unique so your application could be processed quicker than this, or...

    Applying for BOWP while on implied status

    No, it's not enough time. You can still apply for PR whilst on implied status. Just be aware that you may have to stop working once you hear back about your IEC extension and then get a rejection. You will have to stop working then. If you are really wanting to apply for PR, get on it ASAP to...

    Applying for BOWP while on implied status

    You cannot apply for BOWP on implied status as you will not have a valid permit in hand. You would need to wait for an answer from your extension, and then stop working, restore your status as a visitor and wait for your PR application to be processed.

    OPEN WORK PERMIT

    Provided you have all your documents in place, it can be done easily. You should do an upfront medical. ITAs are issued approximately every 2 weeks.

    Clarity needed on 'Bridging Work Permit?'

    No, unfortunately you will not meet the minimum requirements to apply for PR by the time your permit expires. You should look at getting an LMIA through your employer.

    Tips for a successful BOWP application

    I applied for this a few days ago. 1. I did not complete this form. 2. Option B 3. I entered the date my immigration status started in Canada. Even though I left for 6 months during that period. 4. Look at your permit. There is a document number I believe it should begin with a U. 5. Yes, open...

    Vacation Pay at End of Employment

    I had two seasonal positions in Canada which I accumulated 4% vacation pay. This was paid out in the form of a final payslip once my employment ended at the end of winter. I remained in Canada following the employment ceasing. 1. Can I count these vacation pay/hours accumulated in my total...

    Vacation Hours/Payout at end of employment

    I have read that vacation pay can be included as hours worked for CEC calculation. I had two seasonal positions that resulted in a lump sum payout of vacation pay at the end of my employment. For one of these roles I had 33 hours paid. Would this be considered as an additional week of full...

    Bi-weekly payslips

    The first letter my employer provided (I've since asked them to revise it) stated: Full time: 30-40 hours per week Total Hours: 374 This is over 17 weeks of employment. So my average is actually, 20.9 hours per week. Thus, their letter is incorrect. I only have bi-weekly pay slips to work off...

    Bi-weekly payslips

    I know I need to calculate by week but I do not have a record of my weekly hours worked. Surely I'm not the only one in this position.

    Bi-weekly payslips

    All of my pay slips for Canadian experience are bi-weekly. Is the 60 hours cap per two weeks suitable for calculating FTE? Example: Pay periods 1: 45.5 hrs 2: 56 hrs 3: 47 hrs 4: 57 hrs 5: 55 hrs 6: 23 hrs 7: 38 hrs 8: 18 hrs

    Less than 15 hours a week calculation (2 jobs)

    According to my calculations, 3 weeks before my permit expires, I will have accumulated 1674.6 hours, worked 412 days. But, as per the 30 cap on my part time work, it gets a bit complicated. I also had a pay error which meant one of my payslips consists of 4 weeks pay as I was back paid but...

    Less than 15 hours a week calculation (2 jobs)

    The nature of the work is seasonal. So full time for this employer is considered 20 hours per week. Should I just get the employer to state part time and change the range so it's appropriate? I've referenced a lot of people about this including looking at letters provided by the employer to...

    Less than 15 hours a week calculation (2 jobs)

    Yes, for Canadian experience. The two positions are with the same employer. Would it be acceptable for the employer letter to state: Job 1 Date - Date Status: Full time 20-40 hours per week Wage: xx Total accumulated hours: xxx Job 2 Date - Date Status: Part time 7-14 hours per week Wage: xx...

    Proof of employment

    Apart from a letter from your employer, I have read that T4s are not mandatory to submit. If you do not submit any supporting documentation for your Canadian work experience, what will happen? Will they request more information if needed, or will it outright get rejected?

    Less than 15 hours a week calculation (2 jobs)

    Can anyone share their experience after submitting an application with experience for less than 15 hours a week? I have a combination of full time employment and part time over the course of 2 years but I've been advised to disregard any experience below 15 hours a week as is deemed "too...
