Yep. It doesn’t make any sense as they are still welcoming in work/study visa holders. Also, they have stopped doing draws for FSW, likely because they can’t process FSW applications right now. They’re definitely almost completely frozen right now. My AOR is Jan 6 2021 and I don’t expect to...

Hi everyone, I just received a request for documents from IRCC (AOR Jan 6th 2021). They are saying that my POF document did not properly upload into their system and are giving me 7 days to respond to this request. See below for the letter they sent me. What is weird is that I can see my...

FSW (in case it matters: applying from USA, citizen of the EU) ITA December 23 Medical exam January 5 AOR January 6

Ah nice. And the only thing you and your friend uploaded is that letter? Or did you also upload monthly statements?

For proof of funds, the letter my bank gave me has the average balance over 6 months as one number (total average), not the average for each month of the past 6 months. I’m reading conflicting info on this. Will this be sufficient or do I need the letter to give the average balance per month of...

Has anyone successfully applied with NOC 4012? I'm a PhD student in the US and have been a Research and Teaching Assistant for the past 4 years (while doing my PhD), being paid continuously. I'm applying under FSW, which accepts NOC4012 for the 1 year of work requirement under certain conditions...

Looking for advice on what to put for "City of birth" in my application. I was born in Brussels, Belgium, so my city of birth is "Brussels". However, my passport only shows "Place of birth", and it says "Etterbeek", which is a region within the city of Brussels. Should I write "Brussels...

Perfect, thank you!

Do they require proof for reported ongoing study? I'm receiving points for my completed Bachelor degree (and have all necessary proof), but I'm currently doing a PhD (not finished, so no points). I included it in my education history. Will they ask for proof? If so, what kind, like a letter or...

Hi folks, I got my ITA recently and I'm filling out the PR application (FSW). In my initial Express Entry profile, I had filled out my husband (accompanying spouse)'s work history completely, even though he'll get zero points for any of it since it's not Canadian work. I thought I was supposed...

I'm in the process of applying for PR right now (got my ITA), and the company is ready to send me the signing bonus as soon as I get my Canadian SIN, so I expect to receive it in the summer/fall 2021 once I get PR and move there. Yes unfortunately I know it's not guaranteed :( But I want to...

There is no requirement that the income be monthly and not one-time like a signing bonus?

I plan on sponsoring my grandmother to come live with me once I'm a PR. I know I need to show income for the previous 3 tax years to sponsor her. The first of those tax years (2021), I'll receive a signing bonus from my new job in August 2021, but I won't actually start working yet until January...

I'm filling out my Express Entry applications (FSW), and have a question regarding the "funds that I will be bringing to Canada". I previously studied in Canada under a student visa, and at that time I had opened a bank account there (savings account at one of the major banks). I never ended up...

Okay, I guess I"ll have to wait. Thank you both!

I am getting ready to apply to Express Entry as a Federal Skilled Worker. I score high enough that based on previous minimum scores (even the recent ones of 475+) I'm pretty sure I will be selected right away. Unfortunately, because of COVID, I won't be able to take the language tests until...

Hi! I'm eligible to apply to become a PR with the Federal Skilled Worker program, and thanks to the high number of points I score on the CERS (mainly due to having a PhD, eligible work experience, being fluent in English and French, and having a university degree from Canada). I would like to...

Hey all! I'd like to apply for a super visa for my grandmother who is 80 years old. I was wondering how long she would have to stay back home in between her 2-year long visits to Canada? If it matters, she's from Belgium, and both her children live in Belgium as well. She's healthy with no real...
