Hi everyone,
No everything is very slow on the PR front, but I had a surprise. I am eligible for a working holiday visa, so a 24 months open work visa. Do you think I should accept it? I was thinking I would get PPR about July, and move this summer to Ontario. Do I need to take this visa? And if I do, should I inform CIC?
Thanks for your advice
You can try that, also I think that you will get that PPR this summer (unless there is anything for additional BG checks or securities).

Thanks for youranswer Vensak
I have no worries about BG check, but I am thinking to be on the safe side in case CIC has delay, I wil then be authorized to work. I gave notice to my current job for the end of July, so I will have to find something.
When are you planning to land?

Sofiane5225, where are you? I am one week behind you for Ontario NOI and ITA, so I was watching your timing. Any news?

Cependant il semble que tout avance très rapidement pour le "human capital stream' . Je vois ceux qui disent qu'ils sont aprouvés alors que certains d'eux n' ont soumis leurs demandes que dans trois dernières semaines seulement!
Esperons qu'on va recevoir de bonnes nouvelles dans ce mois ci.

Technically in Toronto, but I will move to the city called London (in Ontario) at the same day. Then I will try to find work over there.

Oui j'ai aussi note la super ambiance qu'ils ont dans leur post :) Cependant, Ontario vient de stopper le stream 3 jours apres l'avoir ouvert :) Autrement dit, ils sont en train de revoir le "peu de dossiers" qu'ils ont accepte... Je ne pense pas que nous devons desesperer :) Attendons et nous verrons... j'ai vu que Ontario delivre par an environ 3,000 nominations...soit 250 et quelques par mois... donc patience :) Mais au moins, on a un peu plus de vie dans notre post, car depuis la semaine derniere, c'etait le silence plat !

A vrai dire, je suis surpris de voir si peu de candidates pour le French Speaking Skilled Workers Stream...apres tout, la plupart des dossiers pour PR sont pour des anglophones en majorite...il n y a que tres peu de Francophones dans le Express Entry pool de toute facon... Une autre raison pour nous serrer les coudes et rester en contact.

Apparemment, creer un profile Linkedin / modifier son profile linkedin et marquer comme Ville Toronto aide a connecter avec les chasseurs de tetes locaux...
As tu reflechi comment trouver un poste la bas ?

Courage !

Interesting facts:
1. there are only 2% of French speakers (those that have French as their first language) in EE (for example 1000 from 50000 EE accounts)
2. from all ITA 4% were the French speakers

The additional requirement for this stream is English and University degree on the top. (not to mention, that French must be set up as a first language). So no wonder there is just so small amount of potential candidates.

With that said, Ontario is cherry picking almost all bilinguals from the whole EE stream.
Bonne chance a tous.

Il est encore très tôt pour perdre de l' espoir quand même! Souvenons-nous que la procedure de nomination peut aller jusqu'à 6 mois. À propos de la recherche d'emploi, je préfère attendre la nomination d'abord, tout en reconaissant qu' il vaut mieux de commencer la recherche le plus tôt possible.

Cheers!

Thank you for the info Vensak. Could you please help me understand the terms VO and VLO and how these offices are assigned to applicants? I've read people's posts using the terms for different meanings.
Thanks

LVO - local visa Office.
This one is assigned at certain point of your application. (once they finish medical, criminal and A11.2 checks).
Once these checks are done, they will create that LVO within your application as a secondary visa Office and then they will swap it to primary visa Office and the CIO will become secondary visa Office. That is the transfer of your file to your LVO.
LVO then receives your finished security checks and they will do the final analysis R87. That one will summarize your potential to become economicaly active in Canada and well establish yourself.
LVO is assigned according to your current country of residence. (however sometimes they assign you elswhere if that LVO is way too busy).

Je prefere d ecrir en anglais (je suis en petit peu plus a l aise avec ca, mais j ai aucun probleme de comprendre ce qui est ecrit en francais).

Thanks a lot! Guess what! I had to search CIC website to know what A11.2 and R87 checks are :) . Ok so the LVO is the one that organise visa interviews etc!

A11.2 - check if the points you claimed in your EE are consistent against the evidence that you have forwarded (ECA, language tests, PNP, Work reference letters...) and also if you meet the criteria of at least one group (FSW, FST or CEC).

R87 - if they see you a good candidate to establish yourself once in Canada.

LVO does the inteviews if needed (but they are very rare when it comes to EE applications).

Vensak,

I don't understand where you see all that?
