Thank you! You confirmed what I feared.

That's what I thought. It might be obvious from the ages of the kids, but they study in vocational schools (instead of college etc.), if that makes any difference (not high enough level perhaps to steal anyone's job...). You're right, Finland doesn't have the IEC program with Canada. Based on...

I'm a permanent resident in Canada and my niece and nephew, who both study in Finland, are interested in coming to Canada for a short-term (1-2 months) unpaid internship. The other one is 18 years old, studies media production and is looking for an internship in different production companies...

After reading more older posts it seems it's "common knowledge" that EI isn't considered social assistance. Does anyone know a reference to this eg. at the CIC website?

Hi all, I've been a permanent resident in Canada for over a year and have a full-time job. I'm expecting and as my work only provides an unpaid maternity leave, I'm wondering about the employment insurance (while on leave). I was sponsored by my common-law partner and he signed an undertaking...

Happy news from here, too, from a while ago! I got my COPR Dec 30, it's hard to believe the hard part is over. Good luck everyone applying and still waiting! And thank you for all the help and support!

Even for the updated one (after the first one expires)?

Thank you for your help!! Does anyone has an input whether the medical can be done in advance?

I hope you don't mind me using your message thread epmarshall! I would have posted mine with the same title, so hopefully someone can help me with my situation. FBI records: I've lived in the USA in two separate periods, the first time a bit over a year and then a bit over 6 months the second...

Sorry luqman, I've missed your message! We sent the application in June, and I still don't have my medicals passed. I'm getting a bit worried...

Yes! My medicals haven't been passed either even though the application was sent to London almost two months ago. I'm not sure how common this is.

Hi all June people! I was wondering if everybody has either Ecas or MyCIC showing that medicals are passed? We've got SA (VO London) but no mention of the medicals yet. Am I the only one? Good luck everyone!!

SchnookoLoly (I believe you're the one who's updating the spreadsheet). My row could be updated with the following information: "In Process" on ECAS - 09-Aug Thank you!

Oh I wish it was June 28... Modified my post. Thank you!!
