Ray of hope - FSW - 1

WIll we receive any official update on the eligibility review ?

I'm not sure about an email/PDF, but to my knowledge, we will see it on the EE profile, in the section currently referring to awaiting the eligibility check.

When will you know for sure that your application is complete and won't be returned as incomplete? Will you see MEP/BIL even if your application is determined to be incomplete later on?

Here's a nice timeline. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/eapr-to-ppr-stages-and-timeline-application-life-cycle-ee.504628/

The eligibility and background checks will be updated with completion dates when you receive a final decision on your application. After the dates for MEP and BIL, we’ll only get the so-called ghost updates. Status of eligibility and background checks can be inquired via calls to IRCC, webform or GCMS notes.

So close to entering the pool! My IQAS application is in final review. However, I stupidly sent only my Masters degree to IQAS for ECA. Now i'm worried what if it is not given equivalence to Canadian Masters. In that case, in order to make my EE profile and claim points for 2 or more, will I have to get my Bachelors degree assessed as well?

Thanks for your reply.

@joconstantine and @ZAtoCD A question on POF. For a family of three as per IRCC website I have to show CAD 19836. Considering the currency fluctuations I'm planning to have CAD 20000 in my account. Now, in the application and in the gift deed documents what amount should I mention? CAD 19836 or CAD 20000?

If it's a fsw draw then I expect it to be 470 and if its 4200 invitations then 469

AOR can be instant, like mine. Medicals passed is at around 1 month usually. 2 days after that, I got my biometrics request. To my knowledge, around 2 months after that it should be the eligibility confirmed update.

I see, so the first thing which will be updated would be the medical then, is that correct? the other stuff like Background Check, would be done only if medicals passed?

Guys N gals what’s the current status in India regarding IELTS and /or ECA delays due to COViD ? Thanks

Now that the second wave has been declared in Canada, any guesses as to how it would impact the FSW draws? Because offices etc. might close down again.

471 with a recent tie-break, or 470 with an earlier tie-break date

It would need to reflect the actual amount that was given in the deed and is in your account. Because they may contact your financial institution to verify. Have to be accurate.

Medicals passed is the first update, yes.

I'm also concerned about the viability of finding work, for anyone who does actually make it to Canada to activate PR. Worst economic recession since World War 2, apparently. Doesn't seem good for work prospects.

I think the application asked for "How much we will bring to Canada". I entered 13000 CAD. But in my proof of funds, I showed more than that.

Sadly, 470-471 is considerer "low scores" now. Things have changed a lot for the past 1 year.
