    BC PNP 2016 applicants join here!!!!

    The PNP office emailed back. All they said is basically a quote from the PNP Program Guide that a job offer must be for a full-time, indeterminate position. They also suggested to refer to the program guide for detailed requirements. They didn't answer my question exactly. The question was if a...

    BC PNP 2016 applicants join here!!!!

    Just to confirm again: does a 2 years full-time job offer NOT count for BC PNP? Or would it suffice? It won't be a contract position, but a regular employee. Except that the offer would state an end date... What if an employer also provides a letter stating that they would extend a position in...

    Have you tried calling the CIC call centre? They can send a gentle reminder to CIC agents to review your application. How much that can help is unknown, but it's worth giving it a shot. Another option is to contact a MP. It's quite typical to wait for several months. Don't give up hope yet.

    Can anyone help with these questions, please? They are for the TRV form IMM5257. (1) What dates shall I write in the From-To fields of the current country of residence (Canada) given that my current status is Worker (not Student anymore)? I think that the end date should be work permit's expiry...

    Yeah, I should check stamps in the future. Didn't realize that the officers could be so careless. Are you talking about a questionnaire for a TRV application? If you have a PGWP, make sure you answer the following questions correctly: What would you like to do in Canada? Work Current country...

    Thank you, jubear! It makes sense. (1) However, I found a new issue with it. Turned out there is a stamp (!) for the most recent entry in Canada on that old permit. It was stamped on the back side of the SP, as opposed to a passport page. Any advice on what I shall do in that case? Since the...

    I'm applying for TRV after getting a PGWP, and have a question about submitting a copy of a passport for TRV application. Instructions state to provide "any pages with stamps, visas or markings." I have an expired study permit that was stapled by an officer to my passport when the permit was...

    Yep, that's a perfectly good thing to do too on implied status. :) Those were just thoughts on what to do in case job search is not going well.

    Seeing all the pain of waiting for PGWP, I wanted to share a bit of encouragement and tips for my fellow PGWP applicants. I know your pain. I waited for PGWP for 7 (seven!) months. (By the way, it has finally arrived in mail recently. Yay!) Back to the point. To all of you still waiting...

    Happy New Year, everyone! I have 2 questions about what happens after getting a PGWP. (1) Does anyone know if a holder of PGWP (open permit) can work part-time or does it have to be full-time only? Suppose someone wanted to get a part-time job while searching for a permanent full-time job...

    Has anyone dealt with submitting extra documents (online) that were requested by CIC for a PGWP application? CIC has recently requested me to submit an additional document online. I did it, but I am bit worried that the status of that additional upload says "Uploaded - not submitted to CIC" (I...

    Post Graduate Work Permit by FlagPolling for non-exempt visa countries

    Hi robingosh, 1. As far as I know, PGWP can be acquired by flagpolling. Though it would be wise to consider its risks and know as much as possible about this option. 2. From what I know, you will likely be asked about a reason of your visit to the U.S. If it's for flagpolling at the Canadian...

    Actually, this could be a good idea: submitting both a parchment and a confirmation letter. I just spoke to an agent from the Call Centre. They said that a confirmation letter would suffice. Even a letter downloaded from a university's website would work as long as it's officially issued by a...

    DK15 and Fraya, thank you for prompt responses. :) I am also leaning towards a letter of confirmation, just in case another transcript wouldn't help. Fraya, I'm not sure what you mean by an email from university. You mean an email with a letter of confirmation? My letter has all stuff you...

    Hi everyone, I see some people have been getting requests to send their transcripts. I got a similar request to send "Other Proof of completed study: Proof that you have completed your program of studies" (exact quote). I am bit confused, because (1) I have submitted a scanned copy of my...
