What will be your score? Will it be more than 443? Then you will get it mostly in next draw!
No, I do not have that many points. I'm not ready to apply for CEC until November, at which time I will have more points with my one year experience and also common law status.
So if I have enough points at the time, you think that the turn around could be that quick?

Hi,

I am currently going thru document checklist for CEC. I am confused, the checklist is asking me to upload 3 different docs for employment,
1. Offer of Employment
2. Employment Records - Manufacturing/Quality Engineer in Training ( this is my current job)
3.Letter of Employment

What am i supposed to get for all these 3. They all seem very similar to me as i only had 1 job.

Please help.
Hi there,

1- Offer of Employment = your contract
2- Employment Records = A reference letter from your employer/manager/supervisor
3- Letter of Employment = a letter you get it directly from your employer's HR stating your employment status.

Best

Also submitted this month. Second time lucky hopefully as my first application was cancelled as incomplete due to an error with the police check. So a little nervous this time! Triple checked everything, so fingers crossed.

I received AoR instantly following both of my applications, and actually presumed it was just an automated system. But I see from this forum that's not always the case.

Submitted and received AoR: February 10th

Now the wait begins. Good luck to you all.

In general how much time does it take for CEC applications to receive the PR ? On the CIC website it gives a very generic time frame of 6 months.
Is it possible that after submitting the application, one might get PR sooner than that, considering the number of applications submitted in every draw?

Hello all,

Canada Visa forum has always been helpful everytime in all the situations. :)

Thanks for creating Feb 2019 CEC Group!

I got an invitation under CEC on 23rd Jan, 2019 and submitted all my documents under CEC on 1st Feb,2019 and got the Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) on the same day itself.

I just had couple of queries so would appreciate if any of the members can put some light on it :

1. So I have submitted all my documents which was required under CEC with Upfront Medicals and PCC's however instead of reference letter from my current employer on the basis of which I have filed PR I have submitted letter of explanation that I am still working with the employer who inititally sponsored my work permit but cant ask for a reference as I am still working there and with it I have submitted APPOINTMENT LETTER which mentions my NOC code and all the job duties and also a statement in the appointment letter which says my employer is supporting my PR, 12 Months PAY SLIPS till date, T4, VISTING CARD, LMIA copy and WORK PERMIT Copy.
SO WILL THEY CONSIDER THIS?

2. Secondly, I am concerned about the duration of PR under CEC as I am flying to my home country in March for my wedding. So I am confused what should I do as my marital status will change then. I dont want to hide from CIC about my Marital Status however dont want to elongate or delay the PR procedure as I want to leave my Current job due to worst situation at work but cant change until I get my PR as I am on CLOSED WORK PERMIT. So as per my research and interaction with lot of experts they told me the day they send a COPR that is a Passport Request for stamping they mention to send the details in case if our marital status has changed so I just have to submit my marriage certificate and send my would to be wife's passport for stamping along with mine and it will be done.
IS IT SO?

* Also what is the timeline for CEC if I am in Canada on a closed work permit and single?
* And what if I tell CIC about my marital status in March before COPR then what is the timeline?

Please suggest what should I do, should I wait till I get a Passport request for PR stamping after background check or should I notify them about my Marital Status before Passport Request?


Experts please advise.

Your inputs on this will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Bunny!

Hi Bunny,

I would suggest, its better to let CIC know about your marital status and add your spouse as well to the application. It might delay the process for a while but might be worth it. If you wait for your PR and then apply to sponsor your spouse, the spousal application will take a lot of time. And there were already a huge number of spousal files in backlog. So it may even take more than 12 months for sponsoring your spouse.

Senior members might give you a better opinion.

Hi all,

If I get a job offer and it does not have LMIA, will I be able to apply for EE, under FSWS. I am on Post Graduate Open Work Permit. I also have work experience outside Canada but not in the same field as the new Job Offer.

Am I eligible to apply under EE.

Thank you.
HA

You don't actually need to have a job offer in canada to apply for FSWP. If you are getting enough points on the CRS and your previous job experience was under the NOC 0,A or B, then I don't see a reason why you shouldn't
