    Do you need to have Valid status in Canada for EE to be Approved?

    When I was on implied status and had not received an ITA, CIC wrote to me and told me that should my work permit application be rejected and put me out of status, I would need to reject my ITA, restore my status and then wait for another ITA. They said that if I apply through my ITA while I was...

    Travelling after landing as PR but without PR card

    You cannot reenter Canada by air without a PR card. You need to wait for the PR card or have a valid Canadian visa in your passport. I'm not sure what the case is for people who are from visa exempt countries. If youre driving into canada from the US I believe it is possible to just use your...

    PASSPORTS TO CPC-OTTAWA NOVEMBER 2015 ... PLEASE CONNECT HERE !!!

    Can anyone please tell me what documents I should have when I land? My COPR doesn't really mention any specific documents I need to have on me other than the COPR and Passport with my visa. I am currently on implied status. Do I need proof of my implied status? Do I need hard copies of all the...

    MYCIC IS NOT UPDATING SCORES AFTER ACCEPTANCE OF PROVINCIAL NOMINATION

    Yes it can be. I've asked them questions several times before I got an ITA. I got useful responses to about 75% of my questions. There were times though that they never replied.

    MYCIC IS NOT UPDATING SCORES AFTER ACCEPTANCE OF PROVINCIAL NOMINATION

    Send a case specific inquiry. https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx They can take anywhere from a couple of days to 2-3 weeks to get back to you. Send a clear and concise explanation of your situation and what you want.

    CIC miscalculation

    I don't think you're understanding their email. If they change the system, they will make it obvious by requiring you to input the DAY as opposed to the month of your job start/finish. No one is saying that you can work for any 10 months and two days and get that counted as a year. What they are...

    CIC miscalculation

    I'm just basing this on what the CIC written explanation says. I posted their email in my post above. They explicitly state that CIC gives benefit of the whole month even if you work one day in it. That doesn't leave much room for misinterpretation. According to that, there is definitely a...

    CIC miscalculation

    CIC counts the time worked by months, not days under express entry. If someone started working on any day of January 2015, then on the 1st of December, the system will count them as having completed 1 year of work. I started working on October 1st 2013 and on September 1st, 2015, they started...

    LMIA supporting PR

    A company is supposed to apply for an LMIA either themselves or through a lawyer. Individual applicants cannot apply for an LMIA. My firm applied in early August for my LMIA and we got a confirmation mail that they received the application after a couple of weeks. After about 7 weeks we got a...

    I'm still waiting as well. I believe they received my passport on Nov 18th and I haven't had any updates since then. I also lost access to ECAS some days back along with many other people and never got it back for some reason.

    student visa post ITA

    Yes, there is no reason for you not to be able to get a student visa just because you have a PR application being processed. I know a lot of people who have come to canada to study on student visas while their PR applications are getting processed with the rest of their families. Acquiring...

    Once you become are you really free? Please help experts

    They have no right to even threaten you regarding your immigration status. A company is legally forbidden from threatening to deport a foreign worker. Once you have your PR you will remain a PR unless you break the law or rules regulating your status. Working for a specific employer are not one...

    Proof of fund under CEC

    I agree - you definitely need to drop this lawyer who should not be allowed to work as an immigration consultant. He is spreading misinformation and through his incompetence, he is essentially cheating you out of whatever you are paying him. CIC has repeatedly said that proof of funds is not a...

    ppr waiting for almost 7 weeks now

    You guys should send a case specific inquiry or keep calling until you get an agent on the line who is a bit more cooperative. After I got DM on ECAS, I never received a PPR but a lawyer through whom I had applied for a different work permit a while back was sent my PPR. They clearly mixed...

    For all those reporting their applications as approved and closed or having received their passports, if you haven't already done so, it would be helpful if you listed the date you mailed your passport or when it was received by CIC. Doesn't really give other's an idea of the time-line...

    I am in the exact same situation as you guys. I actually called Canada Post to yell at them but they calmed me down and said that it's already delivered. That specific CIC office is a large scale mail receiver and they get thousands of letters so Canada post does not scan each letter that gets...

    When did they receive your passport? I mailed mine on the morning of Nov 16th and was told that it was guaranteed they would receive it the next day but it is still on the way.
