CEC application, job loss and EI

[Oleevia]

Hi all,
I need urgent reply please.
I applied for Pr through CEC February 1st and it is a 6 months process but unfortunately it’s been 11 months now and I still haven’t gotten a decision. Last month I lost my job and now I’m on EI, I’m wondering if it’s going to affect my application. The last time I called IRCC call centre, they told me I passed my eligibility requirement and background check. The only thing left in my application is security check and after that I will get a decision. They assured me the delay is because of the coronavirus pandemic and they have limited officers working on application.
Now that I’m on EI and I have passed my eligibility and I have more than the minimum work experience required, will it be okay for my application decision making? I did not inform IRCC that I lost my job because I felt it wasn’t necessary because I have passed all the stages except security.
What do you all think please?

Hi, the way I see it, as long as you are still above the points threshold, there shouldn't be an issue.

You just need a minimum of 1 year experience in a NOC 0,A or B occupation. Some applicants travel out of the country after filing their applications and wait for a decision to me made before they return.

@legalfalcon can you please provide your expert opinion.

If you don't claim points for "valid job offer" (LMIA or closed work permit), it won't affect your application as long as your employment history lasts at least 1 year.

Your EE application is based on past-events.

What ever you decide to do or happens once you've applied is mostly irrelevant.

One exception could be if your claimed 50 points for arranged employment with the same employer you were working for. If this is not the case, then you have nothing to worry about. Chill.
