Does anyone have any tips for contacting the IRCC from outside Canada? Thank you

Yes biometrics and medical were passed it was an issue with ECA. We had applied and successfully appealed my husbands plumbing qualifications but hadn’t for his education and apparently it’s not the same despite the fact WES or ICAS don’t deal with trade NVQ’s. When I contacted IRCC for advice...

We received a refusal letter this evening. Absolutely heartbroken :(

Absolutely heartbroken, we’ve received a refusal letter this evening. My husband attended a trades college for 4 years. We used the qualifications and had trades assessment and then took his Red Seal. From what I can make out in the rejection it’s because we didn’t have an ECA for the college...

I really wouldn’t expect anything soon. I doubt we‘ll see anything until Feb/March. Just sit back and wait and try not to stress yourself out. What does your timeline say online? Mine says background is being processed and eligibility is under review.

I understand what you’re saying but you weren’t charged. Have you received your ITA yet and submitted your application? Might be worth contacting the IRCC.

We received our AOR on 25th October. On our application I only attached the police report. I ordered the SAR just incase they asked for further information so it’s ready to go but they may not even ask for it. I can’t imagine it substantially delay the EE process though especially if it’s only a...

My husband has the same. We requested the one from ARCO. I haven’t been asked to submit it yet so not sure whether it’s the right one.

That’s very disappointing to hear : ( What do they say when you chase it? Are you Red Seal certified? Have you spoken to other FST candidates that have had the same problem? Sorry for the questions.

Wow, that’s a long time. Why is it taking so long? We’re currently outland in the UK.
