... Thanks garyastudent.

4 years for those with bachelor's degree (ICT major). Whether EEE will be considered ICT Major or Minor depends on the course content of your degree. It's assessed on a case-by-case basis.

My bad, I don't know why I said 5. Corrected.

You will lose 6 years of experience. And get 10 points for the remaining 5 years of 'relevant' experience.

Physical presence in Canada is required. And as Asivad said, it has to be 730 days in a rolling* 5 year period. * What this means is that IF at any point in time, lets call it dd-mm-yy, you are found to not have lived for 730 days in the last 5 years immediately preceding dd-mm-yy -- you can...

Only when your scores are out (IELTS) or educational credentials have been assessed, you can claim that in your EE profile. Both must be available at the time of ITA!

Dexmoody is correct. The invitation is sent out based on the score you have attained at the time of ITA. So your application must have met all requirements to claim those points both at the time of receiving ITA and AOR. Maybe your friends got lucky because their VOs did not bother to...

Canadian experience can be used to meet FSW work experience requirement.

You cannot count 40 hours per week -- max 30 hrs/week is allowed (for both full-time and part-time). So your total part time: 406.54 hours Full time hours: 960 hours Total: 1366.54 < 1560!

You have to have exactly 2 years at the time of ITA. The system goes by months only, but the VO will recalculate the EE scores you had at the time of ITA. It's better to wait a little longer (few weeks) than getting rejected months later.

PNPs are also immigration programs. Don't risk misrepresentation. It doesn't have to explicitly mention PNP - the message is pretty obvious.

That should be perfectly fine.

Unfortunately, a "leave of absence" (i.e. still employed, technically) is probably not legal after expiry of work permit.

Received stamped passport today. :)

No one has to tell you, just use some common sense - it eliminates the time taken between MR and CIC receiving the ME report from the overall processing time. You don't use AOR (whatever that means!) - just mention UCI and file # when corresponding with CIC.
