    PR Card Renewal & New - 2022 Processing Timeline

    My card took about 3 business days to arrive. I am in New Brunswick, which makes it close to Sydney, NS, where they ship the cards from, I think. I dont think there is any way to track the cards. The envelope mine came in was one of those prepaid government envelopes, no stamp or tracking...

    1 Year calculation for Spouse's Canadian Work Ex.

    The express entry system only registers months and not exact dates. Many others on the forum have also rejected ITAs because the system had awarded the points they werent entitled to. It is a common issue based on the fact that the system is not as accurate as it should be. That doesnt change...

    European PhD - 6 years TA/RA - ineligible

    Generally, both the language test and ECA have to be done before you create your profile, as they ask you to include WES report number when cating your profile.

    Anyone has experience in reopening a refused case?

    It is very important that any employment letter covers the majority of the main duties matching your NOC. iRCC seems to be very strict on that issue.

    Which one is preferred by CIC? JOB TYPE A or B?

    NOC has absolutely no impact on your CRS score as long as it is NOC 0, A or B. Only length of employment matters. Make sure that your choice of NOC matches the duties mentioned in your employment letter, that is the main thing.

    Each provimce has different PNP streams and different requirements. The best thing you can do is look at each of their websites and read the requirements to see if you fit any of them.

    NBPNP information session

    Attending an information session will allow you to send in EOI to NB PNP. However, you still have to have the 67 points required to apply. You wouldnt get an ITA from NB but if they allow you to apply and you get nominated by NB, that will add 600 points to your profile, which guarantees ITA...

    CIC EE PROFILE

    From what i remember there is a separate button somewhere in My CIC to report technical issues. I think thats the best option. Cse is for changes to your profile, which isnt your problem. You can also try a couple different browss to see if it is an issue with your browser.

    Post office account as proof of fund

    As long as they can provide you with a statement, post office should be no problem at all. Doesnt really matter where you have the funds, as long as you have a way of proving that you have them.

    Canadian Express visa and Job Bank

    Very few job offers in job bank would ever be able to offer LmIA. Personally, i think the whole job bank needs to get a serious makeover to be of any use for EE. As it stands, the chances of jobbank really helping anybody with their EE application are slim. As mentioned above, you are much...

    Passport Overdue?! Confused! Please Help!!!!!

    Since you already have PPR, the chance of refusal at this point is essentially 0, so I wouldnt worry about that. If you are unsure, just upload a passport copy and send the passport copy and photos and there wont be any issues. You made it through all the hard parts. Getting COPR is the easy part.

    point difference between NOC type A and B

    Exactly. 3 years already gets you maximum points. Anything beyond that will not add any points to your profile. Also, all foreign experience has to be within the last 10 years.

    How long does it take from the time you apply after ITA till you land in Canada?

    Yeah, that seems to hold true for about 80%+ of all applications. Still, there are plenty of people who end up waiting 8 or 9 months or more: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/those-who-waiting-express-entry-in-six-months-and-not-finalized-t317706.0.html

    When are work experience letters verified/rejected?

    Your GCMS notes would have a section about your employment history and you would find the officer's remarks about whether or not they believe that you meet the criteria in that section and whether or not they accept the work experience you claimed points for. If you check the GCMS Notes...
