Guys, please help me with two doubts:

1. I received PPR a week ago and informed them immediately about a change in my mailing address. I am still waiting for the visa office to respond something. However, they say on the letter that I have only 15 days to send the documents. Should I wait more or should I move forward?

2. On the PPR letter they request the COMPLETE address that I intend to live in Canada. How could I possibly know that? Did they ask you guys the same stuff? What did you do?

Many thanks!

1. Tough call. You could either (1): send passports WITH your new address; or (2): send passports without address change, if you can still reach out to your new address. Actually, if you can still reach out to your old address, you could do (1) and keep yourself covered for either address.

2. That's standard when you do your Landing in Canada, so they may have an address to issue your PR card(s). But I never saw such request upon PPR. Are you PNP? If so, this could be a new genuine intention PNP measure.

Hey everyone,

I have a question about filling in work experience post ITA.
I have held 4 different designation(promoted 3 times) under the Same NOC in the same company. I have a single reference letter describing duties for each designation with start and end date. I am thinking doing the following

1) Creating separate entries for each designation.
2) For proof, add the same reference letter and then attach for each entry only the promotion letter, salary slip, appraisal letter and tax document only for that designation

would that be okay for will that create confusion if i used the same reference letter but only the relevant salary and tax document for individual designation?

or would it be better if i just put everything in the one file(tax docs, salary slips, promotion and salary hike letter for all years) and attach it against every entry ?

I am worried that i might confused them

I had three different positions (all under the same NOC, but with increased main duties) in my current company. I've issued only one extended reference letter. It stated all position changes, citing when and why, and then all main duties and salaries from each position were separately listed. This made the reference letter a bit lengthy (3 pages long in my case), but it worked. According to the case analyst notes in the GCMS notes I ordered, no issues with work experience recognition.

what is your medical passed date, as everything else is calculated after that date only, [...].

IDK why, but many times on the forum I see people saying that CIC calculates processing time starting from Meds passed date or R10 completion date, or some other date whereas the related Help Center article clearly states that the AOR date is when the counting begins.

Can anyone explain? Maybe those are different things?

It doesn't say AOR date, if you notice carefully it says complete application which means R10.

Then why for paper-based applications the time starts when the application arrives in the mailroom?..

Then why for those who apply by mail the time starts when their documents arrive in the mailroom?..

Why are you comparing yourself (express entry) with paper based applications? They have different timelines and it takes longer than express entry.

I am not comparing. Then it says "If you apply online or in-person, it starts when you submit your application."
So the first line about the complete application is true for both paper-based and online and doesn't mean R10

Requirement to submit a complete electronic application
In Express Entry, applicants are required to submit a complete electronic application for permanent residence (e-APR) within 60 calendar days of being issued an invitation to apply (ITA). The application and all supporting documents must be submitted electronically through the applicant’s online account.

Applications are assessed for completeness up front. An application found to be incomplete should be rejected as per section 10 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, and all fees associated with the application should be refunded to the applicant.

The Express Entry six-month processing standard begins when an application is assessed as complete and is promoted in the Global Case Management System (GCMS). It ends when Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) makes a final decision on the application.

Oh, so there's a different official info . I guess I have to count some time back then Thanks for clarifying.

Did you create different entries in your profile for each designation or just one entry?

I have one reference letter too which lists all duties and period. But my reference letter doesnt have salary mentioned so i will be attaching salary slips

IP1 But again it doesnt mean that application is in that stage as often you see cases with ip1 moving to ppr straight, to be more sure whats happening i would strongly suggest to order GMC notes

One entry, but if your experience in the same company gets to be under different NOCs for some reason, I recommend you make a new entry for each NOC, since you have to declare the NOC code for each work experience you had.
