Hi all,

Glad to know that people are getting selected and visa process in going well.

I have 4 years of experience in IT and tried everything to get a job offer from a Canadian employer.

Can someone please help me?

Hi guys,

To those who have been endorsed under the High-Skilled stream, I'm wondering if everyone managed to include every single one of the documents they asked for in the checklist? More specifically:

  • Copy of your most recent work permit in Canada (if applicable)
  • Employer reference letters for the periods of work experience identified in your application. The letters must include:
- specific period of your employment (to/from dates)
- description of your main responsibilities and duties
- the corresponding NOC code (if known)
- your total annual salary and benefits
- the number of hours you worked per week
- your employer's name, signature, full address, telephone number and email address (if applicable)
  • Copies of your T4 tax information slips and your Notice of Assessment (if applicable)
  • Work contracts
  • Pay stubs

I'm an inland applicant, so I have a work permit, and I can get the pay stubs, reference letters and T4 + Notice of Assessment. But I've never signed a written "work contract." I asked HR and they don't issue one. Is there anyone else here who doesn't have a written work contract? Or if you are missing any of the other documents (based on what applies to you)? What did you submit instead? How did that go?

Good news here, got my PR. Sharing timelines:
- mid July 2017, got a job offer;
- late July 2017, sent an endorsement application to New Brunswick authorities;
- mid September 2017, received endorsement conformation;
- late September 2017, applied for work permit in Canadian embassy (Kyiv, Ukraine);
- mid October 2017, received Work Permit (took 3 weeks to process);
- early November 2017, arrived to Canada, New Brunswick;

- early February 2018, on the 3rd attempt my Application for Permanent Residence was accepted by Sydney CiC. (it takes 3-4 weeks for them to actually give you AOR of your application. My first two attempts failed because of very small document incompleteness. So keep in mind that you just need to have ALL documents from the document checklist, even if they make no sense or could be replaced by some other docs, you NEED to STRICTLY FOLLOW THE CHECKLIST.)

- late May 2018, got my positive final decision that results in PR for me and my dependant(s).

That was a stressful process but fortunately it is finally over.
I will follow this topic for some more time to provide answers that are in scope of my awareness of this program and my experience.

Good luck for everyone who are in progress and future candidates.
Do you cost any fees? or employer will do everything for you?
PR just got when you landing and woking in Canada, it won't come when you in your country?

Maybe i wrong, but for me job search websites like jobbank, indeed, monster,etc are useless, i'm outside Canada and tried to write a letter to every employer with cover letter for every job ad, and i have tried to use in Canada address and phone number. And as a result, noone reply me. Perhaps i'm doing something wrong, please give me a piece of advice.

Dear Admin;
I am contacting you to inquire about the processing time and my eligibility for two different permanent residency programs at Newfoundland.
To explain my situation briefly, I should say:
1- I am on the 7th month of my 1-year contract with Memorial University. Additionally, I can provide a letter to show the employer's interest to extend the contract at the end of its first year in the case that the required funding is available

2- I was eligible (1-year skilled-working experience in my home country as well as IELTS score band of 7) and therefore applied through the express entry system. However, my score (426) is less than the minimum calling score, then I am not invited.

Considering my condition, I believe I am eligible to apply under the Atlantic pilot program as well as economic (foreign skilled worker express entry). My question is what is the quickest path based on your experience? I am afraid that I am not eligible for the pilot program due to my previous inquiries from NL Immigration office, last year. But due to the changes in regulation since July 7th, I found out Memorial University is officially listed as a designated employer. I would appreciate if you could review my status and kindly share your idea regarding my case.
I appreciate your time in advance.
Yours Sincerely
