Hello all,

I am desperate and in need of some expert advice so please bear with me...

I am currently on an IEC 2 year work and travel visa which expires November 24th of this year so I am really fighting against time here.

I am eligible for CEC Express Entry aslong as I score high in my CELPIP results.

I have sat this test 5 times now and each time travel the 3 hours to Calgary to sit this test. I have consistently score between 10-12 for reading, listening and speaking but can not get higher than an 8 for writing. I need a 9 to be eligible to submit an application.

I received my lastest results minutes ago and again only scored 8 for writing. I did everything I could, researched online, took tests and I honestly thought I nailed it this time. I have just paid for a re-evaluation as I have every time before but I feel like again, it will not be remarked higher than an 8.

My question is, what are my next steps? I am desperate to stay in this country but it seems that Express Entry is out of the question.

Let’s say my score is remarked to a 9, perfect but I really need to submit a profile now so I can be hopefully chosen for the end of month invites however, in order to submit a profile, you need the date the hard certificate is signed, am I able to do this without it or make a date up and then change my date afterwards once I receive an invite?

If I’m not scored higher, do I have enough time to apply for PNP? What do I need to do now if I want to stay on the PNP? My company has agreed to help me through this. I know you need to be employed for 9 months but I’ve only been working for them for 4 months. Is there any extension I can get in order to prolong my time in Canada so I can apply for the PNP in March of next year?

Thank you so much.

As you can see, I’ve tried to do this without a lawyer but it seems time is not on my side.

I also do not have enough time on my visa to sit the CELPIP again. I need to make a Plan B now,

I’ll advise you to contact an immigration lawyer. Why didn’t you try IELTS or did you try it ? I heard it’s a lot easier than celpip. You cannot make up stuff with your application. Everything has to be true as the time of submission. There are certain information you need to submit for the test like the test number and stuff that you cannot forge. It’s an electronic number that can be confirmed with Celpip directly. Even if you do, if they find out that would be misrepresentation that might bar you from applying for five years or so. You have until November so hopefully your revaluation would come by then or see if you can do ielts this month or something. I can’t speak about the PNP as I know nothing about it. However, the only extension you can get for anything would be the bridging work permit but you need a PR application for that. I might be wrong but I’ll advice you to consult a lawyer, your future depends on it.

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it.

I have had various telephone consultations with a lawyer but sadly I can’t afford the $3000-$5000 to use once when I have also done the majority of the work myself.
I understand that it would be beneficial for my future but I feel like with peoples help in this forum that I can come to a conclusion myself.

I did not try IELTS, I did look into it but test centres were no where near where I live, it would have been too difficult to get there without a vehicle. If it is my last chance, I will have to take it, I will look into it this evening.

I believe you are right, I spent some time thinking about this and I may aswell wait until my certificate comes through. Even if I put false information and then recieve an invite before my certificate is mailed, I’ll have to decline the invite anyways.

Is there any way that you know of that I can either submit an application or paperwork last minute, say on the day before my current visa expires that will buy me some time so I can stay here till March of next year?
