SENIOR MEMBERS PLEASE HELP ! EE QUERY !

[MANI09]

Hello Guys, SENIOR MEMBERS PLEASE HELP !

Hope you are doing great. I am a Masters graduate from Canada but currently residing in Pakistan. I want to initiate my EE procedure. Right now I have three years Canadian Work Visa with me so I can travel anytime to Canada.

1) What would be better for EE in terms of efficiency of procedure, background checks and chances to immigrate, if I apply from Pakistan or if I move to Canada and apply from there?

"I don't want to apply through Manitoba PNP as it is very long and slow process so I will submit my profile without PNP and Canadian experience i.e. 475 score"

Secondly, there is uncertainty in the Canadian job market if you don't have PR. So I was thinking to get PR from Pakistan and then move to Canada and find a job.

2) If I stay in Pakistan then may be it would be difficult for me to gather Police certificate from Canada.


I am really confused as I have to book my flight (if i am planning to go to Canada) or start any job (if i am planning to stay in Pakistan) and to start this process ASAP !!!!

YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED !!

I'll repost my answer from the other thread:

1. To begin with your CRS score will not change whether you are living in Canada or Pakistan so the chance of being selected will be the same in both places.

2. Take a look at this link on how to get a PCC from Canada. Many people have gotten a Canadian PCC while living in Pakistan.

As far as timeline is concerned, it takes about 5-7 months to get the Passport Request (PPR) in Pakistan and slightly less time 4-6 months for an inland application in Canada. Not much of a difference. These time estimates are based on a quick look at this tracker:

If your documents are in order, you should not have any problems applying from either country. I submitted by application from Pakistan and it was a very smooth process. It is ultimately your choice.

Good luck

Thanks for your reply dear. I really appreciate it.

1) Can I show my funds from my Canadian account while applying from Pakistan? or Do I need to open a new account in Pakistan and transfer the funds and wait for 6 months?
Whether these 6 months should be counted till the submission of the e-APR? or Before acceptance of ITA.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp
STATES:

A) as a proof of fund show, "current balance of each account as well as the average balance for the past six months" I hope that does not mean that for 6 months the funds should be maintained above the required dollar amount.

B) Police certificates are required up front and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for a total of six months or more. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate. Does this information is an evidence that they will not ask for a Canadian PCC but can request at an officer's discretion?

Your response will be highly appreciated. I am really thankful for your replies.
