Howdy folks. I'm just wondering when would be the best time to start the application process.
Like acquiring documents, getting them translated, filling out forms and all that stuff.
I'll complete my 12 months of full-time experience in Canada on August 27th, 2013. So I was gonna
mail my application in the first week of September to have a small buffer of days in case of miscalculation or whatever.

Help and tips for the process is highly appreciated. :)


Cheers!

go through the document checklist and you can start gathering any document now that is not time sensitive.

Things that CAN take a long time -
-Scheduling the IELTS exam
-Obtaining all relevant Police Clearance certificates (cannot be more than 3 months old at the time you apply, so this can be tricky).
- getting documents translated.

The Letter of employment should be written AFTER you complete the requirements. But it is the single most important document, so there's no reason you can't familiarize yourself with it now.
