Quick question guys,
FSW-O. January 2021 AOR. February Medicals passed. August 4th requested gcms notes (still not received)
Is it ok for me to change my current job to a higher paid one while my application is in process? Will i need to update my profile via webform and get a new recommendation letter from my potential new company? Will there be any effect on the application?
Thanks.

If you look through the Refugee and Asylum section of this forum, you will quickly see how people are claiming bogus asylums and applying for H&C as a last resort when they couldn't qualify for anything else. Canada giving PR to these people is literally taking a dump on everyone's face who has worked hard to qualify.
This isn’t new. How Canada deals with applicants with criminal histories (of varying magnitudes) has always been documented. That’s why Criminality is an important step in the PR process. Not sure what the issue is here, unless you weren’t previously aware of this.
IRCC has thrown us all under the bus for very long now. It's shocking that they can't even make a general announcement related to processing timelines of FSW-O applications and future FSW-O draws. Guess we are the easiest people to target that's why. Virtue signaling is a key component of liberal governments across the world, that's why they want to prioritize refugees, asylum seekers before skilled, qualified people like us.

Depends on the province - some provide health cover for temporary residents, some don't. I am in SK and my family (OWP, dependent SPs and 1 visitor record holder) and I(study permit) are covered by the SK health insurance. My spouse holds a OWP but he isn't working here yet.
I was previously planning to go to sch in QC and we weren't eligible for provincial cover. I would have gotten health cover through my school (paid as part of tuition)and would have needed to purchase private insurance for the rest of my family.
Please take it. Speaking from experience do not put away anything in hopes of your pr arriving tomorrow. I skipped two chances to make a significant jump in my career thinking that I will immigrate to Canada this year. Not one day goes by without me kicking myself for my decision.
You do not need to provide any update to the IRCC as you have already qualified based on your existing experience/qualifications unless you have a change in residency or similar circumstances from your new job.
This is forwarded to a group in which I'm a member. Really at wits end and speechless looking at the msg
"Just now I called up the office of one of the shadow minister for immigration. His secretary answered the call and she only had sympathies for us and could not help much. She said that IRCC is running way behind the schedule in terms of processing outland applications and neither IRCC nor any other person has any info as to how IRCC is going to handle this. She said just keep trying to speak with IRCC agents."
This is totally unfair . Except some visa offices, most officers are not ready to work on FSW O files it seems. But they have all the time in the world to process CEC files, Tourist Visas, Work Permits, and other visas at lightning speed

I bet their next excuse will be that Parents and Grandparents Program lottery for the next 2 weeks. They totally have time to invite 30k more people while doing PNP/CEC draws every 2 weeks and processing tourist visas for people with criminal record.
At times, I feel if Canada PR is worth this hassle. Today, I am convinced that it is. One of my friends was about to go to Indian in 2 weeks for his marriage. He booked an appointment with a US consulate for his first H1B vis interview. Without any reason, the consulate cancelled his appointment. He booked this back in June. He planned well ahead. Now, he doesn't know if he will get married in two weeks because it's risky to travel without a visa appointment.
Well, I will f**king wait even for months rather than sitting in the US on a sl*ve visa and fearing about uncertainties on a temporary visa. If you think IRCC is the worst, well you have never dealt with US immigration. They are the worst of all.

WHAT AFGHAN CRISIS? Canada withdrew from Afghanistan in 2014 and they are only bringing a limited amount of refugees. They claim they will birng/process 20k refugees, which btw is NOT a significant number for Canada. Proof?
Canada granted refugee status to 109 K people in 2020 but granted 101K and 1118K people with the status in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Seems like a lot?
Canada granted 167K people with refugee status in 2012, 175K people in 2007 and 186K in 1994.
20K doesn't even make a dent on a yearly basis. So I don't think it should be a credible excuse for lazy mismanagement, lack of transparency and accountability to FSW applicants.
