    AOR in February 2017 - Connect Here!

    I'll answer you here, but if you have more questions, feel free to send a message :) Yes, I moved to Canada (Victoria, BC) exactly 3 days after AOR. I was able to do so, since I'm a BC PNP nominee and with nomination I've also gotten a work permit support letter so my employer didn't have to...

    AOR in February 2017 - Connect Here!

    Yep, I got the same PDF file. Sure! Although my VO is in Vienna, I currently live in Canada, so I'll be sending passports, photos and RPRF receipt to Ottawa via Canada Post. The PDF says it should be back in approximately 7 days, but I'm hearing it may take a bit longer for Ottawa (~3 weeks)...

    Yes, that's right, I was at 364 points until my 31st birthday, when it dropped to 359 :) I'm a BC PNP nominee.

    AOR in February 2017 - Connect Here!

    BG went to NA at some moment in the past few days. Didn't check my account regularly, so I'm not sure exactly when that happened. Also I didn't receive any email/notification from them, just found out when I randomly checked.

    Actually, a similar thing happened to me today. I've gotten an email from CIC, but there was no changes at all, until I logged in again (few minutes later). Nevertheless, medical passed today (AOR Feb 13, 2017)! On that note, can someone please remind me of the original background check...

    CSE confusion (multiple vs single CSE)?

    Great, thank you very much!

    CSE confusion (multiple vs single CSE)?

    OK, thanks! So, your suggestion is to raise just one CSE (type "Permanent Residence (applied online)" I assume?) where I should tell them both my new address and WP number?

    CSE confusion (multiple vs single CSE)?

    I'm sorry, I don't understand.

    Anyone, please? I tried to contact IRCC by phone, but waiting time to speak to an agent is 30+ minutes...

    CSE confusion (multiple vs single CSE)?

    Hey guys! I have just recently arrived to Canada on a work permit, but I submitted my PR application prior to my arrival. So, now I'm obviously supposed to raise a CSE to report a change in circumstances to IRCC, but I am confused with their CSE types. Basically, I have to report: - change of...

    Hi everyone! Another AOR in February here :) BTW, when you go to this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp And select "Permanent Resident Cards" -> "No, I am waiting for my first card", the average time is currently 49 days. If I understand that correctly (based on...

    How difficult/easy is it for a PR candidate to find a Software Engineering job?

    Thank you - and I'm glad it raises hope :) Nope, I was not in Canada, but I had a Canadian client - which I got through freelancing. Without referral, it might be a bit tougher, but if you have PR, it definitely won't be a problem. But like guys above told you - you can forget insane sums like...

    How difficult/easy is it for a PR candidate to find a Software Engineering job?

    From my personal experience, "Canadian work experience" was never an issue for me. If I was ever rejected after an interview (or didn't get an interview at all), was mostly for two reasons: 1. I was not a 100% fit for their requirements 2. I don't have PR - the fact that I am a candidate helped...

    Letter of Explanation questions

    I was advised and read multiple times on this forum that you don't have to prove anything you're not claiming points for. Unfortunately, I personally cannot guarantee that everything will be fine with such approach, as this is my first PR application ever :) However, it does make sense, so I...

    Letter of Explanation questions

    Hi guys! I have finally gathered and uploaded all documents and the LoE is the last one before I submit the e-APR :) I have a couple of questions though: 1. I have moved my wife's entire work history to personal history and my last employment from work history to personal history as well...

    Legal Name Change Doc - after marriage

    I am doing the same thing. In my country, marriage certificate is the only document that shows name change (after marriage). I don't think there should be any problems with that.
