I hope it's the same for me, and we both receive a positive response!

CEC AOR - Sept 9 Medical - Passed Sept 24 (could've been sooner, not sure) CELPIP - Sept 24 submitted Sept 25 Background - In progress Sept 24 Schedule A - Oct 13 submitted Oct 13 Today status went to "Updated" but there were no changes.

Then you would be unemployed.

There already is one :) http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/june-aor-receivers-connect-here-t318152.0.html

I'm pretty sure ECAS was used before EE. So people could check on their status :)

No. As long as she's of legal age to marry. Just ensure you have the proof that you aren't marrying for convenience.

I have no idea actually. The CRS calculator would answer that though. I doubt it though, as the reason you score less as an individual being married is because your spouse should be able to make up those points (with CELPIP, ECA, work experience, etc.), and a Canadian spouse wouldn't add to them.

A Canadian spouse won't give you any points. A Canadian obviously has Canadian Education, language, and work experience... You may get points for adaptability through the FSW program - I think it's minimal though. Possibly 5 points. If your girlfriend wants to marry you to keep you in the...

No problem! I really hope this all works out for you. Best of luck!

I can't imagine he'll be held accountable in any way. However that being said, the employer definitely will be (they could actually be charged for this), and the LMIA could be taken away (thus losing the 600 points). They can't legally pay you less than what Canadians are being paid, and...

Waiting isn't fun... However, they have given the expectation that EE will be within 6 months (24 weeks) from when they received a complete application. Be patient, your time (and the rest of ours) will come soon!

Yes, I did. I talked to someone at CIC and they said that was the best option. Apparently not though!! Lol. I'm hopeful it will be soon. I applied May 1, so hopefully any day now!

Yup, this was just in April this year. I'm back home now waiting "patiently" for PR. And yes, you are allowed to stay as a tourist for 6 months however, you have to satisfy the officer you will leave at the end of your visa and show you have significant ties to your home country and my interest...
