you should wait until you complete 1 year.

THere are 2 parts to it though...one is to have one-year exp counted by CEC using 1560 hours calculation. Other is 50 points for job offer which you only get if you answer YES to this question - Has the applicant been working full-time for the employer on their current work permit for at least...

You may not even be qualifying for 67 FSW points... Read about it...You must qualify for atleast one program to get your profile admitted to the pool. I would suggest creating the profile a month before your 1-year completion. You should get eligible for both FSW and CEC when IRCC considers your...

thanks for your response...you're right, I don't want to take any chances either given that my one year date is just 6 days away but looking at the last draw, I am worried they might stop doing CEC draws and that would make it very hard for me to get the invitation. I guess I will just bite the...

Hopefully an easy question. Looking for advice on whether I should answer yes or no to the above EE question? I will be completing one year with my employer on 9/21/2021 on a closed work permit. Shall I wait until 9/21 to answer yes to this question and claim 50 points (this will almost...

why are you worried if you have a score of 563...you will get an ITA in either of the draws - FSW or CEC whichever happens next.

1 year under closed work permit

Hey scylla, related question. I will complete one year on a closed WP with my current employer on Sep 21st. However, when I created my profile on Aug 18th, IRCC accepted my profile in EE under FSW and CEC both. I think it's because they counted 1560 hours requirement. I got points for CEC as...

That is correct and it also requires employer to be eligible as per IRCC rules. Mostly employers are but it doesn’t hurt to get that confirmation explicitly from your employer that your application is classified as GSS eligible for 2 weeks processing.

Sure. Ask your HR/Attorney to make sure that its filed under GSS category. It requires certain NOC code and employer participation.

good info. What documents they checked in your case?

File your ICT WP ASAP. You could very well get it approved before December. Most of the impacted folks who are in this situation were hurt by biometrics (offices were closed for almost 4 months). If it comes down to filing B2 to legally stay in US, ask your employer to not terminate the...

I know lot of folks are in this situation (me included) where they applied for WP before their H1B expiry in US but due to COVID delays ended up needing B2 visa filed to legally stay in US. This is not common for IRCC so they must be doing background check with USCIS which is adding to further...

that's all you are going to get. Pointless to send webform inquiry for your case status. Better order GCMS notes.

Only condition when you are not allowed to enter despite valid TRV and POE letter is when your employer is not operational in the province you have applied WP for. Make sure your employer in Canada is operational and you should be good to go. Also create a detailed quarantine plan - they will...

What/Why did they ask regarding US legal status? Did you change your status in US?

It is taking the appointments. May be they need to update their system for viewing and confirming appointment. They are returning same entry for whatever search criteria you put. Pretty straightforward that they have a glitch in the system.

Yea!!! I was able to book biometric appointment for 7/13. Such a relief!

No, you must schedule an appointment. This is very clearly mentioned on both IRCC and USCIS websites.
