Thanks so much. What might be the best idea is to have a friend submit my application and then come to Canada to pick it up (saves making two trips!) Would that work or do they need you to post it personally? So should I leave the 'current canadian residence' box empty on the application form?

Hi all, My PR card expires in June and I'd like to renew it. The problem I have is that I currently live outside of Canada back in England. I lived in Canada for three out of the last five years so I would meet the residency requirements but I'm just not sure how to renew my card from outside...

I'm from a visa exempt country so they aren't asking for my passport but a copy and some passport photos. If I'm understanding everyone correctly I need to land with COPR and get my visa stamped before April 21st next year?

Hello all, an update for you. Today I received the RPRF and BioData form to send back for my visa. I have a few questions. I have been in the UK for the whole time whilst my application has been processing. Monday this week I was offered an amazing job here, Wednesday I receive my PR! Perfect...

Hi guys, I posted a while ago to let you know of me receiving a MR and Criminal records check. I did the Medical right away and sent them off but have had to wait two months for the FBI to get my check back to me. I received it last week and sent it off to CIC. I'm now hoping that they will...

Fantastic, thank you for the information. Did they end up giving you the extension?

Hello, I recently received a request for security checks from the UK and USA for my CEC application to be at their office within 60 days. The same day, I received my FBI form returned to me for not having high enough quality fingerprints. I sent it off with a new set immediately but I am...

Another update. Today I received a request for police records from the UK and US. I have both and have been waiting for the request, does anyone know if I have to mail them originals or if scans of the originals will be enough? The letter is very ambiguous. Thanks.

Thanks guys, I'm going to try and get my Medicals done this week and will keep you updated on the progress. My Ecase is still at Application Received as of this morning. I work in the entertainment industry so I don't think they are basing it on that.

Hi guys, I received my Medical Request today. Totally unexpected but obviously thrilled! Here's my timeline - Application Received: 4th Sept 2012 AOR: 2nd Oct 2012 MR: 21st April 2013

Wanted to add my info: Application Received - September 4th Payment taken - Sept 21st AOR - October 2nd NOC - 5227 Visa Office - London

Hi, I'm trying to find statistics for how long it takes for initial Employer screening and then Employee Nomination to be processed, in regard to Ontario specifically. Can anyone share their timelines? The Opportunities Ontario office stated it would take up to 8 months (4 months for each...

Hey all, here's my status: NOC 5226 Faxed LMO: 5.8.2012 Service Canada rep called to ask for more information: 6.5.2012 The SC guy had an issue with my salary being too low, my boss is trying to explain to him that it's actually the average and their figures are wrong. We shall see...

Thanks for the replies, the reason I didn't put it before was because my US visa is a max of 6months at a time. When I left for christmas and returned they issued another 6 month stay breaking up the two visits. I hope it won't result in a ban... It technically is two seperate trips. I'm...

Hi, I have a quick question. I'm filling in my CEC application and when it asks to state whether you lived in another country for more than six months I'm not sure what to put. I traveled around the US in 2009-10 for a period totaling approx 9 months but was never there for more than 6 months...

Hi guys, so this is probably a ridiculously simple question but my mind has become an immigration mess! So, PNP, your employer gets permission to sponsor you, you submit your sponsorship to the province, they (hopefully) agree and allow you to be sponsored and put your case forward to get PR...

I have a similar question. I'm on my second IEC visa and hoping to apply with CEC once I have completed them. However, I wasn't able to be paid for the first couple of weeks I was working as I was waiting for a SIN number. I did receive backpay for these weeks though. Would that affect my...

Oh, I also forgot to mention the other thought I had should TWP be unobtainable is to do some sort of postgraduate course in Canada for 1 year on a study visa. Does anyone see any issues with this as an option also?

Well, this is good news, I was getting a little panicky about it! Although, second question. Assuming I don't manage to get a TWP after my IEC permit expires (which is right on the two year mark) is there anything to stop me changing my status and remaining in Canada as a visitor for a few...

Hello all, I have a question regarding the CEC requirements as I recently had a little worry. In July I'll be applying for CEC as I will have completed two IEC visas by then and be eligible. I will have worked from June 30 2010 - July 3 2012 when I apply. I took one week off while I went back...
