    Please help, need to push the CRS score and hence attending on study visa ( PR process)

    If you pass the course, attendance shouldn't matter. As someone who has dabbled in teaching, the instructor may or may not care. The point is, you have to GET the certificate and as others above stated, you need to get it at a place that WES recognizes. The real question is, why would you not...

    COPR - Moving from US - Need Document help

    Thought Jes answered that. " If you bring your own vehicle at the time of landing, you will have to deal with the paperwork then. " Rental might be smart. Then play dumb and ask how to import your personal car. Since it's not there, they should give you all the instructions.

I thought I saw 32 or 35 hours somewhere but can't find the link. If it was 32 hours, I could take a day off per week and take the...

    temporary leave without pay affecting years of experience

    Proof of what? I would have proof of leave of absense. It would not be paid so there is no payroll proof. The ROE lists first day worked and last day paid.
