Ray of Hope - 89th Draw

[Karnesh]

I have applied as married non-accompanied because anyway my husband would take 6 months - 1yr to come to Canada.
I am on a career break since a year and cannot wait any longer. with my husband's score, my score will reduce to 428 which according to current trend will take a lot of time. If your case is similar you can apply as single applicant i feel

Well, I am already here and preparing for spouse sponsorship now (Waiting for PR card). Good luck with your application.

A query for a friend of mine. Seniors please help out.



I was arrested and charged under Canadian criminal code in summer 2015, later in January 2016 the charges were withdrawn, and in August 2017 all my records were erased (file destruction) by Toronto Police and RCMP, I received a letter stating the same, I ordered RCMP fingerprint report last October and the report had nothing, no records were found.



Now, when I apply for PR, they are asking in statutory questions, have you ever been arrested, committed, convicted or charged with an offence under criminal code of any country? What should be my answer? Do I still have the arrest record? Even if my records were destructed? Even my RCMP report doesn’t show anything?



Seniors please advise. Thank you

Of course advise your friend to be truthful, it' not about whether record exists or not, since he was arrested and the question specifically asks for that, answer should be yes. Rest of the facts can be explained after answering yes.

Any guesses on next FST Draw? I wonder if it will happen soon....

Yes go ahead. It took WES five weeks to assess mine and that's not including the time it took the institutions to send the transcripts to WES.

Thanks. Wow that’s too long, on their website it says 20 business days.

That’s roughly 4weeks so 5weeks isn’t out of place.

Just read what they need carefully... Copies from you and copies from institution attended. Some people are getting confused and then it takes like 3 months or so...

i asked the institute to send everything, i didnt send anything.

If all your documents are correct, getting an ECA takes about 3-4 weeks. This though, is if you have it done through WES. Mine took exactly 3 weeks.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been on this forum for a while now and in the express entry pool for over 2 years.. I need some expertise advice please.
Sitting at 423.. would PNP absolutely be the best way to go for me?

Could be best option, based on being 2 years in the pool. However, you haven't presented your story in detail so no one can give you right advice

Yeah that’s right.

I think you should take advice of a lawyer on this one !

Hey, can you point me to the oinp link which says eca has to be submitted and how? I already sent a copy of the eca to CIC via wes. When submitting the application i received no further instructions on anything that has to be completed.

Have you ordered a copy (electronic copy) of your ECA to be sent directly to OINP??

My brother was also in the Submitted stage for almost a month as he forgot to do that. Once he did it, his status changed from Submitted to Assessment in 3 days in OINP.

Please note that OINP has introduced a completeness check. Also, they have the right to retain the fees if the delay is from your side to complete the requirements.

This is as per their website, I have read it somewhere, do all checks again at your end.

Thanks!

Thank you i will recheck everything to ensure its in order!!

Hey, my profile is also in the submitted stage for long. Did you figure out anything about the eca to be submitted? I do not see anything online.
