Hi there, I have a question about the DIP status, my profile is about 55 days that stops at DIP status. While it usually takes much less than that. What do you think of 55 days of staying in DIP?

Hello guys!

I recently got an EOI under the international student stream. I have a few questions I need clarification on:

  1. For Education history, do I need to list all the education history that is outside of Canada or just the one I received in Canada?
  2. For work history, for the last 5 years, do I need to mention work experience back home or just the current one in Canada?
Can you please guide me on that. It would be really helpful.


Thanks a lot !

2. I mentioned all work history, including outside Canada for the last 5 years.

Hey I have a question for photograph post NOI. It says:
You must upload a photograph of yourself with your application. The photograph must:

  • be a scan of a physical photo
Does that mean a digital version of the photo would not work and i would have to get a physical copy, scan it and upload that?

For my OINP application, I used a photo I took myself using a DSLR. Then used an online cropping (cost me CAD$8) service to match the photo requirement size. Worked for me, not sure about the others.

Note that this is only for my OINP application. For the federal PR application, I scanned my photo from Shoppers Drugmart.

I got my picture taken as per the requirements online for PR from Shoppers drugmart. I have a physical copy as well as a digital one given to me by shoppers along with a small documents that says the date and when the photo was taken.

Can i use the digital version given to me by them or do i have to scan the physical one and upload it. I believe you used a digital version for OINP?

Also, for the attestation form, do we have to print and sign it manually or does electronically writing my name is sufficient? I believe i read somewhere that it has to be signed physically.

I uploaded a self-taken photo and it worked for me.

I physically signed mine.
