Fact: Now that the CRS calculator no longer factors in valid job offers, it's only a matter of time before IRCC officially removes those 50 points from the candidate pool. However, this could happen at any point within the next 90 days, and the impact on future draw cutoffs remains uncertain...

Hi everyone, I applied for a closed work permit under LMIA exemption code C16 (Mobilité Francophone) on December 4. As I am not eligible for the Francophone EE stream (due to my French proficiency being at NCLC 5–6 rather than 7 across all skills), I was relying on the 50 points from my job...

I understand that Express Entry candidates will no longer receive additional points for valid job offers as part of efforts to reduce and prevent LMIA fraud, but what about LMIA-exempt job offers? I recently applied for a Francophone Mobility work permit (LMIA exemption code C16) through my...

Hi everyone, I'm applying for a closed work permit later this month with LMIA exemption code C16 for Mobilité Francophone. I've been working for over a year on my PGWP for the same employer who is providing the job offer for this new work permit application. My understanding is that this job...

I've been studying French for a while now and will take the TEF exam next month. I believe I'll be able to score a NCLC 5 or higher, which is required for the Mobilité Francophone, so my employer has agreed to support me on this process (submit the job offer and pay the employer compliance fee)...

Hi everyone, I will have completed a year of Canadian work experience on my post-grad work permit 7 months from now. This past week, though, I decided to go ahead and take the CELPIP exam to submit my Express Entry application anyway (fortunately, I did very well and got a CLB 11). Having had...

Hi everyone, I will have completed a year of Canadian work experience on my post-grad work permit six months from now. This past week, though, I decided to go ahead and take the CELPIP exam to submit my Express Entry application anyway. I've met the minimum requirements for FSW and my current...

Hello everyone, I graduated from university in September last year (also switched from study to post-grad work permit in September via flagpoling), and I finally took the CELPIP test earlier this week to meet the minimum requirements for Express Entry (via the FSW program). Even though I don't...

So, I'm making some travel arrangements for after I complete my degree studies at the end of this summer term, and thought I'd start this thread to help make sure my spouse and I won't run into any problems re-entering Canada. I'm completing my studies this September, but my study permit and my...

I posted this on the wrong forum. Sorry.

Hello all, I'm aware that the work experience gained while you're a full-time student doesn't count towards the minimum requirement for the Canadian Experience Class program, but I've been curious to know whether there's any possibility that being a full-time skilled worker as of now can help...

Hey, everyone! I'm in a group with many Brazilians like me who have applied for a Canadian study permit under the Student Direct Stream (Brazil has recently been included in the list of SDS-designated countries). My application was sent this week, but there are people who have been waiting for...

Last Saturday I had my study permit application refused by IRCC. My last correspondence letter says the following: "I am refusing your application on the following grounds: • I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR...

Hello, everyone. I applied for a study permit (from outside Canada) on March 13 with upfront medical exams and gave my biometrics on March 19. Therefore, my application has been "complete" for over 12 weeks, but the last update I received was on March 30 (medical exams passed) and it's still in...

I work full-time as an Administrative Assistant, but as a secondary source of income I import stuff from the US and China (mostly electronics) and sell them in Brazil for a profit. I do not own an actual business or pay any kind of taxes over this activity, but I do keep track of all my earnings...

I have a Letter of Acceptance from a designated learning institution for their July 2021 intake and plan on submitting my study permit application on the beginning of March 2021 - that's the earliest I can do (due to the long processing times we may still be facing next year, I may ask the...
