2015/06 to 2016/07 - job title

2009/08 to 2009/08 -unemployed (few days)
2009/08 to 2014/01- education

Thanking you

Getting married after submitting the PR application sounds wise to me. This is because once the e-APR is submitted, points will NOT be recalculated if spouse is added to the application.

Hi Seniors.

I stayed in Singapore for around 18 months on employment pass but travelled back to Pakistan every 2 months for a few days, as well as travelled to Malaysia a number of times for short trips. During my time I in Singapore, I stayed in different hotels as accommodation was provided by the company and changed a lot of hotels.

I will be mentioning all my trips in the travel history as per the passport stamps but I'm concerned about providing the details of my residence in Singapore. I don't have any evidence or proof for any address in Singapore, please suggest what to do.

Moreover, I was working on an employment pass through a third party - a Singaporean company, but was not actually working for them but for the company back in Pakistan, I don't have an experience letter for my time in Singapore. How do I justify my time in Singapore and employment pass, but with no experience letter from the Singaporean firm? Is it okay if I explain the whole scenario in LOE that it was an outsourcing arrangement, and that I was actually working for Pakistan and was continuously employed here?

Hello Seniors,

Actually I am living in a country where there in no Canadian Embassy or consulate. So I have following questions -

(1) For stamping the visa on passport after 'Passport Request', should it be sent to a specific embassy or I can go to any Canadaian embassy in the world to get visa on my passport.
(2) How many days they give to get Visa stamped on passport ?
(3) I came to know that they will give 30 days to accept nomination. Will I be needed to accept it by email or on CIC EE profile ?
(4) Can the Medical be done from any of their authorised centres of CIC or it has to be done from any specific centre ?

1-Depending on where you are, you will be informed of your visa office and will have to send your passport via courier.
2-A couple of my friends sent their passports to London office for stamping and got passports back in Pakistan between 15-20 days.
3-I believe you will receive a email notification to your email address, and will have to open your CIC account to view the message and will be instructed by that message on what to do next.
4-Any of their authorized centers.

Hi,

You don't do both at the same time. First you enter the express entry pool by creating an EE profile , then after receiving an ITA, you apply for Permanent residence.

The email you received says congratulations for creating a profile should have you Job Bank reference number and instructions on how to register.

All the best.

Thank you so so very much. I didn't know that all emails appear at the very bottom of the screen.

Yes, I got the email with my Job bank code and my profile number. I have completed my job bank - Its weird the kind of jobs they are sending me? is that what you guys get?

Has the job bank helped anyone???

Just wondering
::)

[size=10pt]HEY AGAIN,

SORRY I DON'T THINK IF YOU UNDERSTOOD MY QUESTION.

I CREATED AN EXPRESS ENTRY PROFILE. HOWEVER, WHILST FILLING IN, THEY WERE TWO SECTIONS,

1. SECTIOIN 1 = ONLINE APPLICATION
2. SECTION 2 = EXPRESS ENTRY

THE INFORMATION ON EACH SECTION WAS THE SAME EXCEPT FOR ONE SECTION

I SUBMITTED ANY HOW, AND RECEIVED MY EXPRESS ENTRY PROFILE NUMBER AND JOB BANK REFERENCE NUMBER.

HOWEVER, ONLY SECTION 2 = EXPRESS ENTRY IS THE ONE INDICATING THAT ITS SUBMITTED

SECTION 1 = ONLINE APPLICATION STILL SHOWS THAT ITS NOT SUBMITTED?

QUESTION: - IS THAT THE SECTION I WILL USE FOR APPLYING AFTER MY ITA?

JUST WONDERING.

PLEASE ELABORATE FURTHER.

THANKS AGAIN :'(

Hi,

Foreign work experience can be attained while studying. So showing your 3rd Degree will not affect your work experience in any way.

All the best

Hi,
I think i have a similar case here. I started my MBA as an Evening Student because I was full-time employed at that time and can only take classes on weekends. Down the road I quit my job and registered as a regular student and graduated in 2016 as a full-time student.

Will they consider my work experience during MBA? A friend of mine applied for Australian immigration and his post- graduate experience was considered only.

They are fully aware that a number of people study part-time or via distance learning. So CIC accept's foreign work experience gained while studying.

For Canadian work experience, CIC specifically mentionS that "a period of employment during which the foreign national was engaged in full-time study is not to be included in calculating a period of work experience;"

However, there is no such requirement mentioned for foreign work experience.
