    Hard Disk / Laptop Checking at the Airport

    Bumping up this thread. Do you think having pirated Windows installed on your laptop upon entering Canada to become PR could get you in trouble? Do they even check for such things?

    Reasons for Rejection

    The latest I've seen is two months for incomplete applications (missing documents).

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    Your experience with new company now extends to 1 year so you are eligible to apply under CEC so proceed with creating new EE profile. Hope you have enough CRS since there was a huge cut-off increase in the most recent draw. Sorry to say this but the fact that your employment letter from first...

    Work Experience & Education major different!

    Your attorney is wrong (doesn't even surprise me anymore). Education and work experience do not have to be related. If your case is not super complicated, I strongly suggest you apply by yourself, without using a lawyer as a representative.

    AOR in February 2016 EE Connect Here

    You received ITA based on CRS you had at the time, so changing jobs after does not affect your score, hence no need to worry or inform anyone.

    GCMS NOTES RECEIVED!!

    You are still inside the 6 months time frame so no need to feel depressed. I'm just surprised it has taken them 5 months to request additional PCC. Hopefully once you submit your UK PCC, your application should proceed relatively fast towards PPR.

    AOR JAN 2016 - let's get together

    Difference of Job description - NOC

    Thanks CADparity, superb post and +1 to you. My duties mostly match lead statement for the occupation. Petroleum engineers NOC also states that they perform "some or all" of the following duties. The best we can do is hope that the officers assessing our applications will be experienced and...

    Difference of Job description - NOC

    When is your AOR? I too will order another GCMS notes around mid April (3 months after AOR).

    Experience

    Your 10 months of experience will be considered for calculating CRS score provided that the job duties match NOC 0, A, B which you are claiming.

    Experience

    The wording in CRS tool has been discussed previously in this forum. It is a bit misleading and probably copied from FSW eligibility. 3 years of foreign work experience in last 10 years gives you maximum CRS points and it does not have to be continuous nor in the same NOC.

    Difference of Job description - NOC

    LizzyBob, saw your post in another thread and, as you, I also work in NOC 2145 - Petroleum Engineers. I have changed 3 positions (all 2145) within the same company and have my actual duties listed for each of those jobs. What keeps me awake at night is that they only match in one or two points...

    PR Application refused due to no evidence on Full-time job and job duties

    Approach your employer and try to convince him to write the the same kind of reference letter only additionally stating your hours per week and duties. If he refuses, another alternative is to ask one of your colleagues (preferably senior) to write same kind of letter on a white paper, have it...

    How do I upload a picture on here?

    Use http://imgur.com/ or a similar website for posting pictures and paste a link to your rejection thread. Since you only have 4 posts you will not be able to post links, so don't use "dots" but "spaces" - example (imgur com).

    AOR in November 2015 - Let's get together

    CIC doesn't usually send intention to refuse application, they just refuse it. Do you mean you ordered GCMS notes and read an officer's comment there was a problem with your proof of funds?
