You can request notes on their official website: https://atip-aiprp.tbs-sct.gc.ca/ I tried requesting case files from CBSA and CSIS(as a foreigner living outside of Canada, under the privacy act), but I've only recieved my CSIS notes. There are also paid services operating in Canada that order...

I assume you're on a PGWP, considering you have a canadian post-graduate cert? To get the 10 points for arranged employment I think your job needs to be supported by an LMIA. Double check the detailed requirements under the "arranged employment" section here...

I think that's the study they were referring to. The authors match and in its summary it says "The study found that approximately 69.5% of postsecondary study permit holders actually enrolled in a postsecondary program in 2015—up from 51.8% in 2009." They acquired the number of study permit...

It refers to international students that attend colleges like "Lambton college". It seems to be a running joke in this thread. Just goes to show how much of an echo chamber this thread has become :D

Bruh that's pretty racist. You even started with the "You're not that *bad adjective* as a *race*" trick.

Is there even a shortage of tech workers in Canada, considering the mass layoffs and trendy AI tools?

I'm saying a per country visa cap sounds like a bad idea. I'm not saying we should do nothing. Protesting your local government to raise the bar on DLI accreditation sounds like a good idea to me.

Well, if you look at the green card cap in the US, they can't prioritize occupations with the most demand, then there's mismatch between total immigration target and market demand etc. The 7% is also more of a legacy feature that they're trying to get rid of. Let's say IRCC set a cap, so what is...

IMHO a visa cap sounds like another inefficient government move. How does these "Lambton Colleges" work anyway? Aren't they publicly funded to be on the DLI? Wouldn't the local government complain with funding if they accepted too many international students? Maybe its a 4d chess move. Issue...

I definitely agree that you shouldn't try to jump the line! I also think it's one's right to start the mandamus process, and the burden is on IRCC to not let anyone jump the line. Just to be clear the anecdotes I mentioned are study permit applications, not PR applications. I haven't seen any...

The point is that in these social media success stories, their applications get approved a few days after a court date is set, and they receive an email from IRCC requesting them to withraw their writ of mandamus. So you never go to court, therefore it is not reflected in these legal records...

It's all over chinese instagram, but most of them are study permit applicants. I've definitely seen a few cases where people were stuck in SS for months, then gets an Original Passport Request a few days after getting their notice of appearance. It might simply be an isolated coincidence, and...

So it's an amount of time vs Canadian citizenship? I don't know, if you end up hating Canada after a year of living there, no reason to wait for 2 years right? If you like your new Canadian home, maybe you can find something else to do for 2 years before going on an adventure in the US. I don't...

My eligibility too, went from not started to completed directly, no "in progress" state. Yeah the uncertainty is pretty frustrating. I previously made plans of landing before winter, now I'm considering planing around an April 2024 landing, or even later.

With Canadian citizenship, you can get a TN-visa, which increases the chance you might get a job in the US since you don't need a sponsor. As your experience grow your value as an employee should also increase, so you could either talk your employer into filing a PERM for you and participate in...

No progress for my application yet. I never called them, but I ordered CBSA and CSIS notes two weeks ago(haven't recieved them yet). I think IRCC did an update on their system back in April that updated everyone's background verification status to in progress right? At least for me, it was in...

I see. Quite cultured for Canadians to refer to ivy graduates using a mysterious greek letter.

I've seen the word "lambda" tossed around a lot. What type of people does it refer to? Is it a Canadian thing? Urban dictionary didn't help much :D

Not since July 5th. I don't know my VO yet, never called them or ordered case files.

They must have choreographed their draws right? I mean at the very least Ontario needed to access the list of candidates from the Federal's pool, and issue NOIs using IRCC's system, so they must have known in advance. OINP invites way more professions then the Federal's trade invite, so it...
