    I just checked processing times. It says 4 days for a visitor visa (within canada) and 45 days for a visitor extension. Which would I fall under? Also once getting this approved, would I be able to visit the U.S and return to Canada again as a visitor?

    How quickly does EE profile update with changes

    I am waiting for my ECA to come through. This should arrive Tuesday and based on previous draws I guess the next draw is Wednesday. I'd obviously like to be in this draw, so if I make my profile on Tuesday will it be in the pool for Wednesday? Or if I create a profile now, without the ECA, then...

    Canadian skilled work experience within three years of applying

    For CEC you need to have the one year of skilled work experience within three years of applying. If my one year of experience ran from 08/2015 - 12/2017, when would be the latest I can apply? I read that as 08/2018. But does that mean I have to receive my PR before then, or make my profile? Thanks
