    Home country PCC validity

    We've organised most of our PCC's that we require however I'm worried about when I need to organise my home countries one? South African PCC's can take up to 12 weeks and we are probably leaving here for work in Europe in March 2018 before moving over to Canada after that. If I apply for my...

    Hi All, The company I work for has branches in South Africa, Australia and very soon England. I'm interested in starting up a branch in Canada and am wondering what are the hoops I would need to jump through? I'm already part of the EE pool but I really don't want to leave my company as our...

    Will you be rejected if your PCC contains a crime that isn't illegal in Canada?

    This isn't a real life scenario for me but I was just wondering about it last night. For instance Canada is apparently going to legalise marijuana next year, which I think is a brilliant idea even though I'm not a user. The science is conclusive on the fact that marijuana isn't dangerous for...

    Why would you reject an OINP?

    Morning all, Just waiting on my IELTS results from the 3rd of June before I add my name into the draw but I have a question. I noticed some people are stating they have received an OINP but are holding off on accepting it to see if they can rather get an ITA from the EE pool. My question is...

    WES- Status: Documents received - review in progress but is it really?

    Quick WES question. I submitted my documents from South Africa and my University is submitting from the UK. I know for sure they have mine as I sent it DHL but does the status (Documents received - review in progress) mean they have both sets or do I need to follow up with my University as I...

    Does full time remote work for a Canadian company count?

    Checking my score and it's a little too close for comfort for my liking so I'm wondering if it's worth looking for a job at a Canadian company that employs remotely. Would working for a Canadian company remotely for a year count as Canadian employment? There are a few remote jobs that I've...

    Which Australian PCC do I need?

    This may seem like a dumb question but I recall seeing someone else post the incorrect PCC and get rejected. So can anyone confirm exactly which PCC I'm requesting from Australia as I lived there for 2 years. I'm presuming I need number 33 for immigration/citizenship?

    What is the difference between the FSW and EE process?

    Sorry I'm sure this is a dumb question but I can't find the answer anywhere. I have seen that you need 67 points to apply as a FSW which I have. And then 423 (at last call) for the EE which I also have more than. Are these still two different options or has the FSW completely disappeared now...

    Can I upgrade my EE application after I've submitted (IELTS)

    Hi All, According to the few EE calculations I've done I can get enough points to be selected even if my wife doesn't do the IELTS at all or if I do slightly worse than I expect in my IELTS. So the question is can I apply with my details and by saying my wife has 0 IELTS marks and then if the...
