You don't need this, after creating EE profile, you would get confirmation and job verifcation code which you have to use for creating user for job bank.

If NDVO have had my passport for over two weeks at this point (after I submitted it in response to a CSE), do you think it is appropriate to email them/raise a CSE for them to follow up on what is going on? Especially since my profile is closed and approved on MyCIC, but VFS are still reporting that NDVO has my passport?

Thanks for your quick reply.

I have checked and all my files are under 4 MB. One more question I did not found any place to upload the different like IMM008, IMM5406E etc. Is it not necessary to upload those forms?

You can merge them into a single file and upload them in the LOE placeholder.

Hi, I have 2 questions:

1. If I want to try to get nominated by Ontario once it opens, do I have to necessarily select Ontario province as preference or what should be selected in this?

2. Did anyone get US CPA evaluated from WES - what was the equivalency?

Regarding your first question, you don't need to specifically select Ontario. You can choose "Any" and they will invite to apply for their application if you have 400+ CRS score.

Strange. 3 of my friends got PPR this month and everyone received their PPs in under 2 - 3 days. You can try e-mailing NDVO and ask them about your PP.

I was looking for photo specifications for PR application and noticed this strange requirement at below page, they are asking for photographer's details as well.
Any comments? Do I need this specification photo for medicals as well? I have medical appointment tomorrow morning.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/photospecs-cit.asp

Provide the name of the photographer or the studio, the studio address and the date the photos were taken on the back of the photos

Am I looking at the right place because I'm applying online?

According to the timelines shared in that other thread, no one who submitted passport after Sept 7 seems to have received theirs back yet. My case is frustrating because my passport is stamped but it's not with VFS yet.

Hi Guys

I have been trying for a week now to get my application for a BOWP filled in online, but the system shows an error.....

When I log into my CIC account and start to fill in the 'are you eligible' questionnaire (need to do this to get a ref number) I get halfway through, and it says I maybe eligible, I then click to proceed to the next part, presumably filling out a profile, it comes up with a system down/error

I have logged a technical issue on the website and called CIC but they don't seem very helpful

Any suggestions? Print out a paper copy and post it?

Many thanks

Ben

Your current employment status makes no difference to your EE application.
