Hi guys :) I received my passport yesterday along with COPR after 2 weeks :) Yayyy! I was all excited and then I realized on COPR , as my last entry to Canada port and date info, they put down the information I provided them when I applied and since then I travelled :( And as original entry to...

Hi guys! Good news! Just received my passport request today. They received my medicals around June 11th so that was fast! Almost done :))) All the best for everyone waiting.... Cheers!!!

Just wanted to let everybody know I received my medical and bio data request along with the RPRF today. All on the same day :))) I applied on July 30, 2012. Woohoo, fingers crossed for everyone waiting!!!

I am sure this is a very common situation so I would think that a senior VO would see this right away. Initial evaluations are probably done by entry level employees and their checklists :)))) Just trying to think positively cuz I would be so annoyed if they screw this up. Some of their...

This detail always created confusion and I am in the same boat as you. I talked to couple of past applicants and came to the conclusion that they count the experience after your diploma/degree date. Being on off campus work permit during that time doesn't matter, obviously it is a transition...

Sorry about your rejection. It really doesn't make sense. According to the cic website, you need to have two years of study – At least 16 months—or four semesters—within the 24 months before completing a full-time post-secondary program of study in Canada. 4 courses was considered a "full time"...

And that "work experience in Canada" section of the check list is providing supporting documents for Schedule 8 form. Therefore, I would think reference letters are not required for every single job you did in Canada in last 3 years.

You only have to provide reference letters for jobs that fall under NOC A,B and 0 in last 3 years. If you look at the form schedule 8 form, it says under work experience in Canada section " List only occupations that fall in Skill Type 0 or Skill Levels A or B of the NOC".

None of my friends including myself got PGWP in less than 2 months. Once you apply you are in impied status so you are allowed to work till you hear from them on your off campus work permit. I think 2 months sounds like the normal time frame. It should be Ok if you submitted all required stuff-...

Also I received my PGWP after 2 months. So it might take them up to 2 to 3 months. That is the normal timeline. You are good for now I think.

From your timeline, it looks like you are already a landed immigrant. Why are you worried about the post-grad work permit? If you received your permanent residency after you had applied for PGWP, they might have just cancelled that application as you do not need a work permit anymore.

As far as I know , yes they do stamp one page with visa whether you are in Canada or not.

Hey, No, they wouldn't. Just send them a copy of your NEW passport pages along with a letter saying that this is your new passport as soon as you receive the new passport. I am in the same boat- I will have to renew my passport this month. As long as you keep them up to date with your current...

I found this thread regarding this issue. http://www.trackitt.com/usa-discussion-forums/canadian-experience-class/269730399/is-my-work-experience-enough

@SenoritaBella: Thank you very much for your effort to help :) I read that instruction guide couple of times before I prepared my application. And my understanding from that work experience related section was once you graduated and received your diploma, work experience gained after that...
