No it’s for my wife I did sponsored her .so no ilets certificate.doesn’t know what document I can use

You can use her degree transcript but you need to add a letter from her university that the mode of education was in English.

Yes, They can say it and they are right. But it doesn't change the fact about IRCC flawed policy in processing applications. They do last come first serve intentionally to reduce the average time they process applications in their reports.

completely with you on this. but i just had one thought and i think this point came up earlier too in this/another group. what if they were to say okay, we were wrong in LIFO, we will start doing FIFO. then, can you imagine the amount of waiting it will cause till these idiots do the catching up to clear the backlog!!

plus, it is clearly not LIFO that they are following, but some other unknown (unacceptable to many) approach/sequencing. cuz you can see in the tracker spreadsheet that they are picking up n clearing files from every month, and leaving many pending in every month. why? beats me! but in the absence of that "why" knowledge, we start correlating and drawing theories - processing offices, online vs paper, before vs during vs after students visas load each year, etc. etc.

I just think cases might be assigned to agents randomly and some are just more efficient than others at clearing their queues

You can use the foreign degree as well as long as it's in English.

I am waiting to be Congratulated too. I am sure you and all the SCR folks too.

So I am hearing that there are a lot of SCR applicants that are getting moved over to Mississauga office now. I was thinking of calling them to find out but the wait time is very high right now. I have ordered GCMS notes too, hopefully those can be helpful lol

At the bottom there is an option to apply online. Fee is $5. You can watch online YouTube videos for guidance. That's what I did
