Hi Guys,

I need a little help.

I have a CRS score of 480 and I think I will make it in the next draw. But, my employer may not provide me the experience letter with roles and responsibilities written on it. I have all the letters like offer letter and the pay slips as well as my Work permit says NOC 2174.

Please advise what are my options.

Thanks,
Vishal

And mr @vensak is here ladies and gentlemen! How we missed you! How is Canada treating you? With that personality you have no problem with having a lot of quiet and alone time sharing with us your wisdom and “hope” since this is the Ray of hope thread.

I don’t know about you guys but I’m truly honest when I say that I’m sorry that world hurt you so much that you became this negative person and I hope future brings brighter things for you. We all fight our own battles, but we are supporting each other here, try it next time.
He was the same person in 2016 who kept on saying that scores will never fall below 450.

Hi all,

I need your help.

I have received email today that I need to submit passport to Visa Office within 30 days along with two photographs. Please see below wording from email.

"Your application for permanent residence in Canada has reached the final stage of processing. You must submit your passport(s) within 30 days of the date of this letter in order to finalize your application.

Please include a copy of this letter with your submission. "

However, there are few things which I am not sure about.

  • We have received email but there is no message in CIC account and status has not changed yet. Background status is still IP2. Application Status is " We are processing your application. We will.....". Final Decision section: "Your application is in progress..." Is this something normal?
  • We have received email but there is no letter attached in the email e.g. CoPR letter. I thought CoPR is a letter that we need to take carry with us at the time of entry? I am not sure if this email serves as CoPR or we will get a separate CoPR letter after we send passports.
  • I am from Pakistan and as per my knowledge, Biometrics are required for all the Canadian Visas. I thought I would get a letter and would need to give Biometrics before getting CoPR but there is no mention of Biometrics in the email I have received. Has someone seen such scenario? Will we need to give Biometrics later or these are only required for Temporary Visa, not PR?
  • I live in Caribbean and there is no Canadian Embassy or VAC in the Country I live in. I will have to send the Passports and photographs to Canada High Commission in Jamaica by Courier. Do you know if there are any additional documents that we need to send (e.g. prepaid return envelope etc) while sending passports.
I will appreciate if someone can respond to above queries.

Thanks in advance for your help.


Regards,
Congrats!! I think you will receive a follow up email and update to cic account.

Can you please advise when did you submit the application for pr trying to analyze the turn around time as I am also a Pakistani living overseas. TIA

I am a realist. I do not think life is just rainbows and unicorns. The assumptions I am doing is based on the statistics that was released in 2016 and the released multi year immigration plan.

The whole thinking is like this.
Original plan was to reach 450k immigrants by 2020 (or even sooner). And that plan might have been a bit more passable somewhere at the end of 2016.
Then all the illegal border crossing happened (which did not help at all to promote immigration in Canada). And also recent election pools happened showing that current leading party is weakening in position.
As a result more conservative immigration plan would have to be passed (as the election year that will be in 2019 was one of the reason).

Now CIC is issuing ITA so that they can fulfill the quota for Economic immigrants (at least part of it).
Would bigger immigration increase be approved, then everything would rise more significantly. Hence the optimism in delivering ITA in the first half of 2017.
In addition their own statistics was distorted (by early 2017, they only had 2016 available, which was much smaller sample of applicants). You shall also count in the learning effect. (at the beginning, people would do more mistakes dealing with new system - wrong PCC and such; but later on as the system will be more explore and more advice could be found - like on this forum; the lower % of rejected applications is to be expected).

So as a result they managed to overheat the system (delivering more ITA than they should have). With the immigration plan now confirmed and with the statistic from first half of 2017 (which may be not visible for us yet, but they are very well visible for the officers), they could to ITA recalculation. Hence the lower nr. of ITA recently.

And against all that there is an increasing nr. of EE profiles. Despite of sheer amount of ITA delivered this year, the nr. of active EE profiles is higher than what was last year. (you can check it and compare it with their released statistics).

Another simple fact is, that the earth population is still growing (especially in the countries that make most significant amount of Canadian immigrants). So even if the % of the population willing to immigrate to Canada, would remain the same, the total nr of people will increase. So if that increase is higher than the increased yearly intake, that does result in higher competition in EE profile.
You may be correct in some points but I will disagree on some. In EE yr end report 2016 it is clearly mentioned that IRCC can reduce the number of ITAs to maintain their quality standards and processing time. And as they have given huge number of ITAs in first half which made some backlog so they had to reduce the number of ITAs.

With quota more or less same in 2018 and with rounded of number of ITAs I think in 2018 IRCC will again push the score down and will issue ITAs in 3500-3750 max and 3000 min which will eventually lead to score going down

I don't understand what you mean by "Congrats!! I think you will receive a follow up email and update to cic account" does it means that the experience letter would be a problem?

I submitted the application on 6th december.

Thanks,
Vishal

Wow, after reading a couple of things over here you “experts” are basically saying that myself, a 23 year old college graduate from Canada with almost 1 year and a half of work experience with 428 points in the Express Entry doesn’t stand a chance at receiving an ITA in 2018. Are you guys living in Canada or from back home? Because if you’re back home, I invite you to keep your mouth shut and stop crushing people’s dreams and ambitions. I can’t wait for CIC to prove all of you idiots wrong. Be humble.
