Please do share more about the demand for creators, it's so rare to hear something so positive about the country in this thread. I'm sure everyone would like to learn more.

I imagine the buffer is already built into the draw sizes, taking into account the observed rate of declination, rate of rejection and expected applicant family size to hit the target number of PRs each year.

You have 60 days to submit your application so just wait until you've hit the 1 year mark before clicking the button. As for CEC being faster I think that's mostly down to the Canadian government already having a good amount information on you from your previous visa applications. I doubt being...

Totally, no one saw this coming. I suppose this is their new way of drawing more CEC candidates. With FSW draws being the competitive ones, dedicated CEC draws will allow them to reach deeper into the CEC pool than an all program draw would have. If so, CEC draw coming up next? With a draw size...

I'm leaning towards not needing the PR card: both the card and your visa-exempt status (with a valid eTA if required) allows you to enter the country, so just one of them will do. I don't see why becoming a Canadian PR would nullify your visa-exempt status since you remain a national of your...

What puzzles me is the complete lack of FST draws. The last one took place on 6 August 2020.

Planning on doing a normal one in a few months.

Yo man. Just one step separates me from the landing now: landing.

Attaching the explanations to the documents they refer to makes life easier for the person processing your file. The "client information" slot can be used for explanations/ clarifications regarding sections without a document upload slot, such as your travel history or address history.

Your application looks pretty normal so far. Mine was all quiet too until medical and biometrics. The first change to the background check status came a week after that, though most of that time is due to applying for a PCC. You can check myimmitracker for more data points on that, though it...

Thanks! It took 48 days, and yes, I'm FSW-O.

Guys and gals, I can hardly believe it but it's PPR time! After all those years waiting for an ITA, the time between AOR and PPR sure went by quick! Thanks again to the many helpful members on this forum for all the encouragements, advice, tips, and analyses of IRCC behaviour (as futile as...

I'd answer yes to both and attach the official letter along with an explanation, just to be safe.

It appears that your background check is at the first "In Progress" stage, commonly referred to as IP1. See the following links for an overview of the "stages" that your application can pass through. These were compiled pre-COVID but since we're reverting to normal processing timelines they...

You can refer to the entry and exit stamps in your passport for the dates. If you really can't retrieve them, add an explanation in your Client Information document. The important dates in your personal history are the ones that need to line up with those provided in your education history...

Apologies for late reply, I had forgotten to reply yesterday after work. Yes, since the degree was awarded by the Singapore university and only the Singapore university, I believe just a single entry with Singapore as the Country of study will do. And yes, for the eAPR (post-ITA) include your...

Oh right, lol. Thanks for the correction.

Hey ivicts, I'm going to give answering this a shot seeing that no one has responded yet. I don't think it's necessary to explicitly include your exchange stint in your education history since the university did not award you any diplomas for it. I believe a single entry covering all 4 years...

Nairaland has a nice Express Entry FAQ at the beginning of their express entry thread. Not sure if I'm allowed to post links to another forum here, but I'm sure you'll be able to locate it yourself. It's located within the Travel section.

Congrats @ElvisRamaj ! Looking forward to saying the same to @mushymush in two weeks. It still feels strange to have been invited while you're still waiting. I'm expecting an acceleration in the growth of the 501-600 pool, to perhaps 1000 thanks to the new month, but that shouldn't affect you...
