Yea looks like I will have to talk to my employer about PNP, will take a couple of months, shouldn't have to do as a LMIA should be more than enough but what ever it takes.

Nah you see you are missing the biggest point. Your partner is working in Canada in a job that could probably be filled by another Canadian. LMIA holders are working in jobs in Canada that can not be filled by other Canadians. Economically deserving / core human factors is all whiff waff, means...

No such thing as a fake LMIA, it would be withdrawn immediately if obtained. You're right, they are not looking for me because I am the best. They are looking for me because they can not find anyone in Canada who can do what I do, proven by positive LMIA. Why should FSW & FST also have extra...

No idea what you're talking about. You haven't gone through the LMIA process nor has your partner. You are not an employer either so how can you comment on the needs of employers, and yea I am angry with every right to be. The change is not fair, anyone who has actually gone through the LMIA...

They way I am seeing it FSW & FST with LMIA but without diploma or degree can only obtain points in the lower levels say 300's to 400's.

Reducing LMIA points is a joke. What are CIC trying to achieve by placing those already working in Canada on a LMIA in the same rank as some who've never even been here? Where is the logic in that? The whole purpose of PR based LMIA is to ease access to PR, they may as well just abolish PR /...

I could be wrong but my understanding is, if you've been invited to apply from one of the recent draws you should be alright. If you're still sitting in the pool waiting, after the 19th you may see some changes towards your points.

Hey Jes, Yeah we get the 50 points for having the red seal but right now I cant seem to also include it as proof of education. An example, 1) I take an apprenticeship in Canada and pass the red seal test. I will be awarded 50 points plus points for the credential obtained. 2) I take...

Hey all, looking to pool a few ideas together to see if we can overcome difficulties in obtaining PR through EE. Goes out mostly to license skilled trades (Electrician / Plumber / Welder etc) Anyone having issues might be a good idea to share here to work out solutions and offer advice...

Hey all, Anyone know of a company associated with CIC that will evaluate a skilled trade (electrician / plumber etc)? Thanks

That's what I did, converted my licence to Canadian, they gave me a temp one and allowed me to sit the exam here which I passed. Unlike WES a private company, Ontario's collage of trades certainly don't deem my education equivalent to just Canadian Secondary School. If they did, I would of never...

Cheers, I feel your pain. All you can do is let it go and deal with the situation if it arises. Being scared wont get you approved so its unnecessary right now.

All I can do is laugh to be honest. I've applied for PR under skilled trades as a Plumber. I'm qualified at home and here (Red Seal) but for some reason CIC believe I am not educated enough and refused my skilled worker PR application. Ironic is the word. They've clearly got some issues which I...

Cheers. I believe WES gave a wrong evaluation. Horrible company to deal with though. I did try contacting them, they never replied to emails and tried calling dozens of times. Ran out of patience. I figured I would be OK with my Canadian Red Seal. This is the first I've heard the red seal cert...

Cheers, true. I see now why they refused the BOWP. No mistakes that I am aware of, I provided all required documents.

I just got refused PR for the reason below. I'm a Sept AOR who paid RPFF in Oct. In your Express Entry profile you indicated as your highest level of schooling a Vocational and Technical Education Certificate, however the Canadian equivalency of that certificate is that of a Secondary school...

Thanks to all for your answers. I managed to get a hold of a CIC call person. I brought up the question about why I was refused BOWP (PR eligibility set to failed) while my PR application is still under review. As far as they are concerned they have not made any mistake because my PR file...

Thanks guys. Yes those are the exact words. PR Eligibility has been set to failed. Its confusing because as mentioned, my PR application is still under review. No new updates since I paid the requested RPRF. I've thought about calling or asking my lawyer to call, figured it was best to wait a...

Thanks guys. I haven't paid much attention to the exact dates because I'm using an immigration lawyer. I'll try my best to give an idea. ITA July 2015 AOR Sept 2015 Applied for BOWP Sept 2015 RPRF requested and paid Oct 2015 BOWP refused Dec 2015

Hello All. I would be grateful of some advice. I've recently received notification that my application for a BOWP has been refused. The reason given for my refusal is because the eligibility of my application for PR has been set to 'failed'. Trouble is my PR application is still open and not...
