Hi People,

After submitting my application and got my PER,then get a new job,do i have to inform Accra of the job for updating?

Its not a bad idea if you let them know. Send copy of new employment letter and do a written explanation informing them of this new development. I think its ok for work place verification purposes.

Well, It may not be necessary as long as it happened after you submitted the application. I changed job few months after submittimg my application back in 2011 and asked my Agent if I should notify them. I was told not to bother.

Hmmmmm.Just read through my PER again and observed that they should be informed of any changes including new job.What if they call your former company unknown to you and you did not inform them that you have left the place let us say for like a year.What will be the likely result?

You don't need to feel form IMM008, IF YOU WERE not requested to do that specifically.

Most times, it's only after a recent family update that you may be requested to do that. In my case, I wasn't asked to. All I sent with my passports were just the height/Date of birth/eye color chart and two passport photos for each of my family member!

AVO requests are often times individualized.

Gentleandrew, do as you are persuaded. It might be better to notify them. I was only trying to tell you that it may not be necessary. My job history can easily be obtained via linked in and google enquiry. That may not be applicable to everybody.

News Release : New Programs Now January 2015

Offering "Express Entry" to Qualified Economic Immigrants

Actively Recruiting Talented Newcomers For the Benefit of Canada's Economy

April 8, 2014 — Ottawa — Canada's Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander today announced that Canada's active recruitment model for economic immigration will officially be called “Express Entry.” Set to launch in January 2015, “Express Entry” is a major step forward in the transformation of Canada's immigration system into one that is fast, flexible and focused on meeting Canada's economic and labour needs.

“Express Entry” will allow for greater flexibility and better responsiveness to deal with regional labour shortages, and help fill open jobs for which there are no available Canadian workers. “Express Entry” candidates who receive a valid job offer or nomination under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) will be quickly invited to apply for permanent residency – a key distinction between “Express Entry” and the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, which is only used to fill temporary labour and skill shortages.

Formerly referred to as “Expression of Interest”, “Express Entry” will be open to skilled immigrants and allow the government to select the best candidates who are most likely to succeed in Canada, rather than those who happen to be first in line. It will also prevent backlogs and allow Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to better coordinate application volume with the annual immigration levels plan.

Qualified applicants can expect faster processing times of six months or less when invited to come to Canada in four key economic streams: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, Canadian Experience Class, and a portion of the PNP.

With “Express Entry,” employers will have a key role in selecting economic immigrants and providing advice to the Government of Canada. To this end, Alexander also announced that over the course of spring 2014, CIC will work with provincial and territorial governments to hold a series of cross-Canada information sessions to provide employers with more information about this exciting new system.
Quick facts

Canada's Economic Action Plan 2014 will invest $14 million over two years and $4.7 million per year ongoing to ensuring the successful implementation of Express Entry.
With Express Entry, Canada will be able to select the best candidates who are most likely to achieve success in Canada, rather than the first person in line.
The Government of Canada's new and improved Job Bank will help facilitate matches between Canadian employers and Express Entry candidates.
Having a valid job offer or provincial/territorial nomination will guarantee Express Entry candidates an invitation to apply for permanent residence.

Quote

“Express Entry promises to be a game-changer for Canadian immigration and Canada's economy. It will revolutionize the way we attract skilled immigrants, and get them working here faster. Our government is actively engaged with our provincial and territorial partners, and with employers, to make January's launch of Express Entry a success.”

Chris Alexander, Canada's Citizenship and Immigration Minister

That is true because they cannot afford to be operating new scheme still having pending cases of past scheme.
