Thanks! It's just PPR, I'm waiting for copr before I celebrate anything haha. And yeah, please share your exp. I've never been. I only chose Ottawa because it's relatively smaller (and more "boring") compared to Toronto or Vancouver. Certainly not as expensive as either. And just 3 hours from Toronto and Montreal if I wanted to drop by for a weekend. Options are limited at first, but once I get a remote job, more cities will open up.

What happened to your Canada bashing posts? You have stopped that since receiving ITA :D
 
Unless your previous or next work experience is 13 months at least, and there was no gap between the two, 11 months of exp is equal to 0 months. You would need 12 months of continuous work experience for it to count at all.
I don't think this is true? You can combine the work experience for CRS points even with gaps, the continuous experience is just the minimum entry criteria that you must have a 12 months continuous experience in your main NOC you're applying with. Am I correct?

Lol I've said this multiple times, my issues were with IRCC's lack of transpareny. IRCC still sucks. I also said that when there's evidence that they're improving, i'll say so. Right now it looks like it, but I'm sure people with 2019 and 2020 AORs would disagree. Their lack of transparency hasn't changed one bit. Even now, it looks like they're processing recent applications to artificially decrease the average processing time. Plenty of applications allegedly assigned to inactive officers, stuck in limbo for years. I simply got lucky with an ITA and PPR in 2022, otherwise I was fully prepared to walk away from Canada stuff.

My opinion of IRCC remains unchanged so far, but I can't really blame Fraser after the disgusting mess Mendicino left for him. And none of this changes what I've said before about the Canadian economy etc. My intent is/was to paint a counter argument to the all the hopium morons running rampant.

Ever since IRCC processed his applicaiton in record time, he has decided to become an Canadian immigration consultant himself.
Why you gotta insult me by calling me a consultant? I have never lied to people and never sold shady services for easily available information. Pretty sure that disqualifies me from being an immigration consultant.

I'm just posting what I know before I leave the forums. The post AOR process can still be confusing, so I just respond to people who post questions that I know the answers to. Which, by the way, I couldn't do before i got my AOR, because I literally didn't know the answers.

Hm, I don't know then. As far as I know, any work experience needs to be 12 months without breaks for it to be counted. This can mean 11 months in company A and 13 months in company B with no gaps in between. This would be 24 months of total work exp even though individually the first work exp is only 11 months.

Someone else can confirm, but that's been my interpretation of it. Could be wrong idk

Edit: I also assumed that the OP was talking about FSW. Rules may be different for CEC, but I have never looked into CEC so I don't know.

Actually there may be several differences, because CEC also gives points for 2 years of exp while FSW only does so for 1 or 3. Meaning 25 months is equal to 12 months of exp for FSW but 24 months for CEC in terms of points awarded.

I know, I know. I was making joke that you have chosen Immigration consultancy as your new vocation when you step into Canada because of your renewed faith in IRCC.

nah man. I am aware of the issues the country has. That was never my problem. However, I will resume IRCC bashing 3 or 4 years from now. Until then, I hope I don't hear from them. The rest of Canada is fine, regardless of the relatively weak economy and insane cost of living.
 
Hi all, Happy Holiday! A question about "Proof of Relationship" since I have relatives (uncle and aunt) in Canada. The relationship comes from my mother's side (my uncle and my mother are siblings).

The question is about my mom's documents, is it ok I use the information page (Name, DOB, birthplace) from her passport that expired in 2021 (she can't renew it due to the pandemic)? I have also supplied her birth certificate, my uncle's birth certificate, an explanation letter from my uncle, and his Canadian passport page to prove their sibling relationship.

My submission due date is late Jan so I was wondering whether I should wait until she gets the new one since the restriction of passport renewal has recently been relaxed. If her new passport can not be issued prior to my eAPR submission due date, should I supply an LOE to explain this situation?

Thanks so much!

I was wondering if anybody had any ideas if the new bill c19 will replace the current express entry system or if the government would still proceed with doing regular express entry draws as well.
