Hello, I have been somewhat busy so didn't get a chance to post updates on this thread. Here's my timeline so far: AOR: Oct 09, 2015 Medical Passed: Oct 20, 2015 Background Check In Progress: March 8, 2016 PPR (CPC) : March 9, 2016 (Requested a change to NYVO) PPR (New Delhi :-/) : March 24...

Thank you all for your wishes and your help on this forum. I have emailed CPC to change my VO to the US since I have an Indian passport which shouldn't be mailed out of the country. Based on sraj07's experience recently, I should hear back in about 2 weeks. I'll keep this thread updated to help...

Got the PPR yesterday. FSW Outland - Ottawa VO AOR Oct 9

I'm FSW Outland. VO is Ottawa I guess since I'm in the US.

My background check changed to "In Progress" today. So I suppose I can expect a PPR (or rejection) pretty soon now. AOR Oct 9.

You would finish your immigration formalities at Toronto and after that point you're a domestic traveller - you can go where you please. FWIW, 4-5 hours may not be enough time to get done with all the landing procedures, meet your sister outside (even if she comes to the airport) and then make...

I don't know. I'm in the US so I guess Ottawa?

Can't comment on the Canadian job market but I agree with the initial assessment that it would be difficult for you to switch jobs in the US. Primarily because there is no dearth of qualified individuals for those position so a company would find it hard to justify the extra expense for your H1b...

As someone on an H1B visa in the US, I just want to add that while it is true that the visa is restrictive in the sense you can work only for the sponsoring employer but depending on your field it is very easy to switch employers. If you're in the tech industry (not IT consulting), it quite easy...

On the balance, I'd take Canada because you have the US job market open to you with a NAFTA visa.

You should select No.

It's oneo f those things people do "just in case". It isn't required.

Yes to all your questions. This has been discussed so many times before, honestly another thread about it is pointless.

They are usually pretty helpful on the phone.

The TEF, in my opinion, is far easier than the IELTS. After having spoken English as my defacto first language all my life, I still didn't get a perfect score: (IELTS 9/9/9/8.5 = CLB 12/12/12/12). On the other hand with TEF, I speak at a level where I can only get the gist of what's being...

Here are the full texts of the laws that govern Express Entry: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/FullText.html http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/express-entry.asp Nowhere do they say that you shouldn't have been denied entry/visa to any other countries. So...

The Department of State rules state the any visa application MUST be dealt with (issued a decision) the same day. If any documents are missing/required, technically what happens is the visa is refused on the first day and, when the documents are submitted, a NEW application is approved. So I...

I registered with the middle name, as on the passport, as on the marksheets and as on all docs

That's some quality, unadulterated BS. For one, they don't even know that a green card is an American document, not a Canadian one.
