Do you have any info on that? Currently not spending that much money on studying it. But now that you mention it, could you share the information that you are referring to?
Thanks!
It's important to understand that there are federal an provincial grants. I checked the situation for Alberta, which is the province I intend to live... there, I could receive up to 4,600 annually, between federal and provincial grants (you might also be applicable to private grants provided by the own institution).

Hi , are you learning french on your own or have you joined some classes ? I too have started this month. Can you share your study plan like how much time have been devoting to this ?
I pretty much consume french all day. That's it. At the very beginning (like, the first month or so) I studied through Busuu's app.
After that, I didn't follow a regular program. Instead I just consume things that interests me, such as youtube channels, podcasts and french news, and constantly learn day by day. When I face a certain doubt regarding grammar, I google it.

Hey guys, I would be really grateful if you could give me some advice.
Me and my partner have 482 points applying together. However I'm not sure if our proof for common law is strong enough.
I purchased a property before we started dating and we have been living together in it since July last year. All utilities bills are only under my name as I'm the property owner. He only has couple bank statements which have only his name sending to our common address since July last year. All utilities are paid using his credit card though, I'm an additional card holder.
We opened a joint account, purchased life insurances with each other as beneficiary and purchased a small investment property together in December last year. So I guess we have enough proof after December.
I'm wondering should we wait till December to submit our application or should we submit now given IRCC is quite unpredictable these days..?

NOC Code......
2174
I believe you have a right to that reference letter... write to them and press them... as far as I know, the reference letter is the most important document and you need it in CIC format.... am thinking maybe if your payslip shows the number of hours you worked then it would suffice.... but you can’t be too sure..
Can anyone of you tell me if my primary NOC is 2174, i have 1.5 years, others NOC are not similar to primary NOC. will it be a problem claiming points for other NOC ? Can it be cummulative despite not being in the same NOC code ?

Just wanted to put this out there - for the people who are moving on their own and don't really know anybody, what are the plans to proceed once you land?

Hey...
I'll try to answer you on basis of my experience...

1.Both can be done in parallel.. First go ahead with WES (Its a time consuming process and will take you easily 3 months seeing the current situation) for your documents approval and parallel give your IELTS exam.
2.We need to request the university to send the documents directly to WES. Plus after receiving the documents to WES they will do again re verification, which is time consuming process. So need to track the status on WES regularly.
3.yes definitely you will get points for both.
4.Don't go to any kind of agency most of them are fraud and its not that difficult process to do by your own.

First check your CRS score and give IELTS then you see where you stand and how much effort need to be done at your end to reach the current CRS cutoff range.

Hope it helps..
Hello,
Thank you so much for your advice...it does make a lot of sense. I need your suggestions for IELTS preparation as well. I am following Cambridge IELTS books (11,12,13) and a couple of random websites IELTS Liz, IELTS Advantage. In most of the places they mention about getting the writing checked by some experienced teacher. How do I get hold of one of them? Please provide some tips for the IELTS preparation as well. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

To be honest, I am not sure what your query is. Are you asking about proof of marriage ? If so then your marriage certificate shall suffice. If you are talking about proof of funds, I am pretty sure property investments wont work as funds tied in such investments are not readily available. Please correct me if I got your query wrong.

Regards,
Blue

I have given this question a lot of thought and for me it has boiled down to finding a basement apartment since There is no lock in period, find a job which I feel is stable and then move into a permanent accommodation. But of course, with Covid and everything its going to be a roller coaster ride.

Check the CRS criteria. There’s a plethora of different combinations of score that can give you 9 points. For example, if you achieve CLB5 in the 4 skills, you’ll only earn 4 points. But if you achieve CLB9 on the listening and CLB7 on the Reading, and CLB1 on the other 2, you’ll get 9 points. So, simply check the CRS criteria and choose which path you prefer to take.
Holy F, I just cucked myself for the past few draws as I didn't know you can get points for each modules separately. I thought it was like IELTS where you only get points based on bands. Updated score is now 479 but lose 5 points in 2 weeks for age. Fingers crossed! Thanks for sharing this info @jrossi.

WOW, I'm really glad to know I was able to help! Even if you lose 5 points, I think you'll be able to make it with 474.
BTW, IELTS works the same way as TCF. You can get points for individual scores. The difference, and that applies to both TCF and IELTS, is that you get bonus if all the scores achieve a certain minimum.

Even if you lose 5points before the next draw, you will still be fine for the next draw.

I am an FSW candidate currently working in Canada on a work permit for which an LMIA was issued in NOC A. My work permit is expires in May 2022. I have claimed 50 points for 'having a valid job offer' because I think I meet the following conditions:

If you’re currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B job on a work permit that was issued based on an LMIA, and:
  • you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
  • you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa, and when the visa is issued
  • your current employer made you an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident

Now my question is this, my offer letter does not state 'at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident' directly because I got the offer in 2019 and I was not eligible for EE at the time, however the job is permanent, full time. My employer is willing to put this '1 year after PR' statement in the reference letter/letter of employment. Will that be enough to satisfy the requirements for 'valid job offer' and claim the 50 points?
