Hi, I am in a bit of a fix. My test (I passed) happened at the end of Jan 2023, and I am supposed to show to an interview on Apr 4th of this month. I intend to travel to India in May and June and am worried that I may be called for an Oath between Apr and June. I really dont want to reschedule...

Hi, My wife wrote the citizenship test on Feb 20 and passed (17/20). She got an email saying that they need my ID's to which she promptly replied. Its been a month and her online status still shows test pending. She tried to reply to the same email (CIC-calgary-citizeship) but no response from...

My CRS score is around 449. I hold a masters in psychology with 3 years of work ex. My spouse is a PhD with more than 5 years or work experience. We have been thinking of applying for the provincial nomination but the requirements aren't clear. In particular, most provinces look for an...

Me and my spouse will be landing by air in Vancouver on the Jul 2, 2016. We have a COPR (a temporary visa stamp in our passports). My questions are: 1) I am landing on a Saturday at the airport, can all the formalities be completed at the airport itself on a weekend? 2) I intend to give my...

Hmm, unfortunately I have already submitted everything and my ECAS is in process with meds passed. Its been a month actually, the ECAS was udated a month ago I mean. Anything I could do now? I am not lying or anything like that. It is just that the HR wasn't comforable writing everything I did...

Hi, my erstwhile employer gave me a brief summary of my work which tied somewhat with the NOC code. It was similat to the NOC code but could have been better. I supplemented that information with a separate letter from my manager with more information around what I did exactly and that ties it...

I was curious if anyone is filing under NOC Code 2161. I am employed as a Data scientist at a large US company, but there isn't a specific NOC code for data scientists. I program and work on mainly machine learning algorithms, and was wondering if 2161 was applicable to me.

Hi, I just got ITA'd and wanted to ask a question on the medical. Are both PA and lateral view of the chest x-ray needed or is it just the PA view? Also did any of you get concerned around the radiation exposure?

Anyone here with any thoughts?

Hi, I am looking to get my ECA done from WES. I have a PhD from a reputed US school and was curious if just supplying the credentials of my PhD would be sufficient, in other words do I still have to supply my bachelors credentials (the only reason I ask is its hard for me to get my Bachelors...

Isn't it a catch 22, you need a job to get a PR and you need a PR to get a jpb? What guarantee does the employer have whose offering you a job that you will indeed get a PR?. I honestly think that it doesn't matter. There is no way a majority of applicants are going to have job offers.

I am looking to get the ECA done, I have a PhD from a top US school, I am curious if I also need to get my undergrad verified, do I stand to get more points if I do that. I am assuming that the government realizes that anyone with a PhD also by default must have a Bachelors, is that the case...

Alas. I am from India :)
