Thank Rajkamal

But the link doesn't state anything about 2 different programs..
as stated earlier...once graduated from 1 program(2 semester-1 year) they will be registering for the other(3 semester)
So will it be considered as a two years of studies or no?
After completing both the programs by mid- 2018...what duration of PGWP will that they be eligible for???

Thanks

Hello Guys,
Appreciate if someone can answer my query
I received the ITA and uploaded the necessary documents. While uploading the employment proofs in the upload documents page, the Employment tenures in the “Document Column” were termed as "Employment 1", "Employment 2"..and so on, hence i uploaded the employment documents in chronological order. However, now when I see my "View Submitted Application" page, the document column reflects the employment tenures along with designation but it now has a different set of employment proof corresponding to each tenure since i had uploaded them in chronological order earlier.

For example, the screen is showing documents of my 3rd employer got attached to the 1st employer row.

Please advise.

Hi guys,

I just got invite under CEC today and went through the initial questionnaire. While creating profile, it asked if I have a relative here. I do have an uncle here, and I entered that it is asking me for Family member proof of status. My folly was I did not realize it will be a hassle to prove he is related to me and under CEC it doesnt even add points for me. It asks me to upload his canadian passport and proof of relationship!

If i went and changed my answer to say no i do not have an uncle here, i am assuming that field to upload will disappear. Should I reject my invite in this case? Even though i doubt my points will reduce because of not mentioning that I have a relative but it might be wrong because of misrepresentation?

edit:After giving it 2 mins of thought, I realize the back of my dad and my uncle's passports should suffice where it mentions my grandfather's name?

No. You do not have to reject the invite. You can answer "No" to the question that asks if you have any relatives in Canada and remove his details from your profile. The placeholder you were talking about will disappear.

Edit: You should prove the relation between your uncle and your parent and the relation between your parent and yourself.

To do this, you can submit documents (Birth Certificate/Passport etc) of your parent and your uncle that shows common parents. You can then provide your document showing your parent's name on it, completing the chain.

Also, you would have to prove your uncle is currently residing in Canada - a lease agreement, latest utility bill etc would work.

Hi Rajkamal, thank you for the detailed response. So I will combine the passport copies of my parent, uncle and myself in one document. I do not need to circle the name of my grandfather (their father) on my parent and uncle's passport copies right? hopefully they will get it :p

Also noted about the utility bill. thanks. I wish I had not mentioned I have an uncle but I guess better to tell everything instead of misrepresentation. No harm in my case

Yes, you can either go ahead with these documents OR you can simply remove him from the application (not considered misrepresentation). Your prerogative. Good luck.

Thank you Rajkamal, another big miss on my part, I had answered "Yes" for do you have a valid job offer, and now after wondering why they are asking for "Employment record" "offer of employment" and "letter of employment" seperately, i realized that question is for people with arranged or LMIA jobs. I am PGWP candidate but got a job here after graduation. If i change my answer to no, that isn't affecting my score as I still have 1 year of legimitate work experience I can prove. Again, no need to decline right?

On a side note, that section of the EE profile was so confusing. "Do you have a valid job offer?" and "Is it LMIA sponsored" were seperate questions and I had no idea the first one was also referring to LMIA/arranged jobs

Also for employment records, they don't really specify records for which job should be uploaded where so I can just select any one upload button for one job right

Correct. If it is not affecting your score, no issues. Just answer NO to that question and proceed.

On a side note, that section of the EE profile was so confusing. "Do you have a valid job offer?" and "Is it LMIA sponsored" were seperate questions and I had no idea the first one was also referring to LMIA/arranged jobs

If you are just applying based on your current work experience, you can answer NO to that question (This question is for people who want to claim the 50/200 points for job offer.

Also for employment records, they don't really specify records for which job should be uploaded where so I can just select any one upload button for one job right

If your reference letter contains all the details required by IRCC, you can submit that alone.
You can submit your payslips and T4s as supporting documentation.

I believe that the order of the placeholders would match the order of the jobs in the work history section. I would suggest that you upload documents in such a way that in the documents upload page the order matches.

Thank you Rajkamal. To reconfirm, I checked my invitation PDF and I didn't get 50 points for LMIA/Arranged job, plus I recalculated my score on CIC site and it is still the same so I guess I am in the clear.

I am at a comfortable 548, and it'll take me 2-3 weeks to get my PCC from the Indian consulate anyway, so I am wondering for my obviously irrational peace of mind to reject this ITA, fix all the mistakes, and wait for the next one. Assuming I do that, does all the information I entered for personal history and travel history etc. get saved or do I have to re-enter all that again. Extremely first world issue but just wanted to know.
