I've heard stories of kids from borderline diploma mills getting 8-9 H1B tech offers with no interviews through "consultants" lol. I have no idea what those companies are. USCIS gives a f in a roundabout way. They know that this problem exists. That's why they conducted that sting operation by...

Finally finished my soft landing this week. IRCC gave me just until August 5th due to medical expiry and sent my COPR/visa mid July. Flew to Toronto on the 2nd and met the nicest officer at immigration who just signed my COPR after confirming I wasn't a criminal and ended up answering more of my...

Received an email from IRCC saying I just have a month to land or my medicals will expire smh. This is before they even stamped my passport and sent it back. I really hope they send it back before I actually need to land

Stopped lurking because I got tired of this whole application process. Looks like someone dusted off my file today after their last schedule A request in March. Automatic Medical extension out of nowhere yesterday and PPR today.

Good move tbh. I don't generally like governments restricting private ownership but rich assholes who are not in anyway connected with or have a right to live in Canada or any other country for that matter shouldn't be hoarding properties in that country. NZ did this before. Lots of lobbying...

Oh wow I didn't even notice then. I just blanked those out since they began with "COVID" and I was tired of that excuse lol.

Positive me says he went fck it and went for Australia/USA/Europe if he's qualified. 1.5 years is a lot of time waiting for a draw (especially after a prior rejection) and that's what i'd do if I was in that position tbh

I've seen that before. It's newish (maybe last week?). I think its actually a good sign lol. They are probably issuing so many remedicals for old applications now and they have a backlog for that. It also could mean "don't bug me. You got your ADR after 2 years so shut up and wait months more"...

Doesn't necessarily have to be 2 years. The 6 month time was never real for FSW since COVID. They just decided to cut the bullshit now. This new estimate is a dynamic estimate so you know how long you may have to wait based on current backlogs/processing times. Depends on how fast they clear the...

Yeah it's just some dynamic timeline to expect for new applicants based on the past. Better information for new applicants than my dumbass expecting a 6 month processing time and renewing lease every 6 months lol

It's a dynamic time based on past applications. But since past backlogs will snowball into newer applications, I'm guessing it's like this: New FSW applicants: Expect PR 27 months from now/maybe less if they clear backlog quicker Existing FSW applicants: 27 months from their AOR date. If this...

The new dynamic processing times for PR atleast gives some real transparency now. They finally decided not to bullshit new applicants and be real. But Canadian immigration will take a serious drop if they don't improve these times. 27 months for FSW doesn't make Canada worth it anymore. That's...

I got my ADR and they only asked for schedule A. Submitted 10 days ago and Background check still not started. I'm expecting a remed request next and I have no idea when that'll show up. But having said that, getting a document request atleast means that some system or hopefully human being...

This thing is pretty common in Canadian cities too. Speculators and large investors flood the market and rent out buildings at ridiculous prices. So the regular guy can't afford to buy a house or rent something nice due to supply and demand. Unless they change capital gains tax rates, this shit...

Exhibit 1 of why nobody can afford good homes to buy or rent in cities. There's this asshole and many others like him hoarding properties and raising up rates for others while some great minds here argue that immigrants are the reason their real estate market is screwed up lol

1095 days is the number. So If you live three years as a permanent resident from today, you'd have met the number in the last 5 year period. People recommend spending a little over 1095 to make up for calculating errors for foreign trips etc

22 now. So 3 years plus 1 year for citizenship processing. Maybe 27 since citizenship application takes 2 years these days. Maybe more in 2025 considering the amount of PRs who'll try

There's as much pattern as getting a lottery ticket and expecting a result lol. But Ottawa has gotten active now for 2020 applications. It may be confirmation bias but sending a webform asking if you can submit upfront medicals/any additional documents may help. I sent a webform (look at my...

Yea hoping to see it in person in 26 since they host it ....if I get PPR by then that is

Canada just qualified for the FIFA world cup. Now Indian immigrants may finally have a country to identify with in the world cup since India won't make it for atleast the next 50 years lol
