Yes, I understand that. I have not claimed CRS points for close family. I was talking about the Express Entry-FSW eligibility points where the cut off is 67 points. There you get 5 points under Adaptability if you have a relative in Canada, which includes your Uncle (by blood or marriage). Thanks for pointing this out. This will be helpful to a lot of folks. More details can be found here- https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ors-federal-skilled-workers.html#adaptability

That's a relief to learn that you didn't claimed CRS points here

Haha yes, IKR. I was worried about the same and rechecked my ITA . In my ADR, I attached my ITA as well to make it further clear. On Friday, The status of additional documents changed to - The additional Documents you submitted have been uploaded.
Hoping to see further updates soon.

have you made it into Canada as yet? I am getting cold-feet now about moving considering the stress of new job, housing, etc.

Was going to move at the end of April, but I was dealing with an emergency till a few weeks ago. I now will move at the end of Aug or September.

Being stressed out because of job, housing, etc is perfectly okay. Have you considered any of these options to make your transition easier?
1. Getting a job pre-landing
2. Soft landing to get a job, rental, etc and then bring everyone (if you have dependants) once you feel comfortable
3. Leveraging friends and family to help you settle - it might sound a bit more, but it makes a huge difference if there's someone helping you(e.g. renting a friend's house/room, etc)
4. Talking to professionals from your industry, holding similar job titles or higher to benchmark your skills and comp expectations
5. There are realtors who work exclusively with newcomers - they might ask you for 4-6 months of rent in advance, but can solve a part of your settlement

I've a job so that makes it easier to think about where to live, what to rent/buy, etc.

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now, but I'm glad to hear that you have a job lined up. That will definitely make the transition easier. I'm glad to hear that you are now in a better position to start planning.

Try job search sites like indeed.ca. No jobs on the forum.

Yea I guess we just have to wait and cant do much about it, btw, whats your status? landed in Canada?

No, I was scheduled to land earlier this year, but had to change my plans. Will land at the end of August or September now.

Just received RFV! Finally!!

Question, I received only one RFV email mentioning my UCI on top but didn't received anything for my wife yet (dependent / accompanying spouse - FSW-O both currently in Brazil), already checked her email and spam boxes. Should we receive one email each or can we use the same RFV for both?
