    If an applicant was rejected EE application before, will the 2nd application be processed faster because some reviews were done before?

    If an applicant's EE application was rejected due to eligibility issue, but his security and criminality, etc... are all good, then he re-applied, will the 2nd application be processed much faster? I guess IRCC doesn't need to do the info sharing, security and criminality review once again, is...

    I would like to claim my foreign work exp to get the 50 extra points in my CEC application, but 1. I took 1 month break between jobs 2. they are not in the same NOC code as my current position in Canada (which is used in my CEC application). I am wondering if this is OK. Will I be able to...

    2.5 months to have 2 years work exp, but EE system already added the points to me, what to do?

    Today is July 1st and I found that the EE system just added 13 points to my profile because I just hitted the 2 year milestone of working. However, that is true only when it is accurate to the month. If it is to the day, I am still 2.5 months short to have 2 year work exp. That means, if I am...

    PNP quota is 80k+ for this year, why by now only 9k+ invitations have been issued?

    The quotas are 80k+ not only for 2022 but also the next 2 years, but apparently only a small portion of them cannot be consumed. At this pace, only 20K invitations will be issued per year, what about the rest 60k or even 70k? Any thoughts?

    How to fill "Intended location of employment in Canada" when working from home?

    There is a field in EE profile called "Intended location of employment in Canada". I am wondering how to fill it in the case of working from home. My company got rid of its office after the covid breakout, which is very normal in the industry. I guess currently my company's registered office...

    How does IRCC verify out-of-Canada work experience?

    One of the companies where I worked at before coming to Canada has gone bankrupt. I got my former supervisor written a work experience letter for me, but it is not under the company's header, and the company's contact info is no longer valid, though my supervisor's personal contact info is on...

    How long time does the federal stage take for EE-based PNP applications?

    IRCC's website says the processing time is 22 months, which is scary... This is for EE-based PNP applications, not for paper based.. And this is for the federal stage only. Not sure if this is accurate, because the website may not get updated timely. Can anyone please confirm it? Thanks!

    If no TR2PR in 2022, will it be a violation of the Mandate Letter issued by the PM?

    OINP: my employer doesn't have an office in the province, any suggestions?

    Since CEC has been suspended indefinitely, I am looking into PNP. I am working full time as a coder in Toronto, but the problem is that my company doesn't have an office in the province. Everyone is working from home now, especially in the IT industry. But OINP has this requirement. So I am...

    Leaked Memo from IRCC. I guess lots of ppl can say goodbye to Canada

    Bacially, the huge number of invitations in 2021 exhausted the quotas of 2022. They may resume FSW and CEC at the end of 2022 to prepare for 2023, and CRS will take 6 months to drop below 500, and another 9 - 12 months to drop below 470. For ppl who have a CRS of 460-470, they should be...

    Is an EE app counted in the quotas of the year in which it is submitted or approved?

    For example, if a PR applicant is invited in 2021 but approved in 2022, should this person be included in 2021's quotas or 2022's? Now there are more than 110K EE apps in backlog, if the answer to the question is 2022, then there would not be one single draw in this whole year, cuz EE's annual...

    A too high CRS for OINP Tech draw?

    Since all streams of EE have been suspended except PNP, I am considering OINP Tech draw. However, my CRS is 500+ if I include my abroad work exp, which seems too high for OINP Tech draw. This stream not only has a minimun CRS, but also a maximum limit, which is around 460 - 470. I guess I...

    A new year, but still no draws

    No warning beforehand, no explanation afterward, no prediction for the future, it just stopped, for 4 months by now. 10 months ago even applicants with 60+ CRS were invited, now even those with a 500+ score have to leave the country due to expired work permits. This is not how TRs should be...

    Police certificate: Is one issued 4 months before I left a country valid?

    I am a little confused by the description on CIC website. It says: "For any other country, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row." It sounds like you have to leave the country first, then go back to it just for the certificate...
