    URGENT - Loss of Job while waiting for PR Application (CEC) to be processed

    No worries. I'm happy to help to the best of my ability! My understanding based on two phone calls with different agents is YES. If you lost your job after you applied for PR those 50 points will be deducted from your CRS score. I also believe that if you were to secure a new LMIA with a...

    URGENT - Loss of Job while waiting for PR Application (CEC) to be processed

    They did not. I didn't really get a response related to their earlier concern about the job loss. Instead, they asked to send my passport (or copy, depending on your country of origin) to Ottawa, along with 2 pictures and a return XpressPost envelope.

    URGENT - Loss of Job while waiting for PR Application (CEC) to be processed

    I did not. I called Immigration and they too suggested a simple response indicating I was applying under CEC and even if 50 points were to be deducted I would still be well above CRS cutoff. You can find my response below. Hope others find it helpful!

    URGENT - Loss of Job while waiting for PR Application (CEC) to be processed

    Just wanted to take a second to provide a quick update on my situation hoping it will help someone else. After I submitted my response to the visa officer, and having mentioned that even if 50 points were to be deducted from my CRS score, my score would still be above the cutoff score (489 vs...

    BOWP Approved - Can I start working immediately?

    Hi everyone, Apologies if this is a bit of a silly question but wanted to be sure before I communicate my availability to work to my soon to be employer. Earlier today my BOWP has been approved. Will I be able to work immediately or should I wait until I receive the physical copy in the mail...

    URGENT - Loss of Job while waiting for PR Application (CEC) to be processed

    Thanks so much for sharing your insights. I may have misunderstood the 50 as 15 during my phone chat with the CIC agent. Nonetheless, like you mentioned, even with the 50 I should be well over the cutoff score so I'm hoping that's the only issue they're seeing with my application. RE BOWP: My...

    URGENT - Loss of Job while waiting for PR Application (CEC) to be processed

    That was the advice I got over the phone from IRCC. Here's the letter I drafted as a response: Do you think this would sufficiently address their concerns? I'll be providing the documents referenced in that letter. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it

    URGENT - Loss of Job while waiting for PR Application (CEC) to be processed

    I don't currently have a lawyer helping me with my application but when I talked to an immigration consultant they too assured that I did not need a valid job offer in order for my application to move forward. Should I get a lawyer to help me draft a response letter?

    URGENT - Loss of Job while waiting for PR Application (CEC) to be processed

    Hi all, Firstly, I just joined the forum so apologies in advance if this isn't the correct section to ask this question but I was hoping someone could provide me with advice/insights before I try and get on the phone with CIC in the morning. I have a pending PR application (AOR Jan 4 2019) and...
