I have a distant relative who wants to visit me. But we are unsure as to which option to select in the first page of the application portal ("Why do you need a visa?" ) and its effect on the approval chances. We can say that he is coming "to visit Canada as a tourist" or say that "To visit...

Hello. Can someone who has recently applied using the new portal kindly answer this question? Thank you. Do I need to fill out the form IMM 5645 for every individual applicant? This is not asked in the new portal, but it does appear on the required supporting docs list. Is it because the latter...

Hey Everyone, someone I know is deciding between FSW-inland or outland; they got a good job in their own country but can leave for a job in Canada right now if they wish. I know there's a huge backlog of cases, but I wondered for people who got invited more recently (like after IRCC started the...

Hey Everyone, asking those who have been in the woods and these forums more recently: How does the processing time compare right now for FSW-inland and FSW-outland? I know that the latter should generally last longer than the former because of the more comprehensive background check and all...

Look at my previous long answer on this. You may exactly do everything that @egam189 did and yet get rejected because the officer may have a different (stricter) standard for the verification of your Canadian work experience. Individual circumstances can matter a lot here. Express Entry...

https://www.justforcanada.com/moving-to-another-province-pnp-express-entry.html It's complicated but generally the answer is no (see the link) as the mobility rights of Permanent Residents is guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Hey Guys! Have any of you recently called IRCC to ask for your application status? My friend got a ghost update today (FSW-O) and then made a call and they said that because of the situation around Afghanistan, they can no longer say what the application status is, and that updates sometimes are...

I called IRCC on this issue. And after a lot of back and forth and them checking and doublechecking with their 'technician', they told me the following. Let's assume that this is the situation: 1- You had a work permit (LMIA-exempt or not) which mentioned the Canadian institution by name as the...

Thank you so much for the reply and congratulations! Based on your experience, what do you suggest to mention in the letter? I am thinking about the translation of the paystubs from the home institution, and perhaps the fact that taxes were filed on the worldwide income ?

Hey There, Sorry for reviving an old thread, but it seems that ultimately your application went through under CEC. So did that work experience actually count ? I had the same question ... that it may not count as canadian work experience under CEC, but it may count as such under FSW ... thanks!

Hello @vishal128901 , I will very likely be in the same situation (currently on a work permit, applied for PR when I was in the US but requested a change of my address and country of residency through a webform once I entered Canada) and I wanted to know what happened to your case? Did you have...

I don't. I just have a full time job and a work permit tied to that job (closed), that's all. This is a full list of the people who are eligible (let me know if I am missing sth, thanks) and I am not satisfying any of these eligibility requirements...

Hi, I have seen people on this forum having a full and part time job with work permits for both. Do you suggest I apply for an open work permit? That would be impossible, as I don't see how I could qualify for that ( I satisfy none of the eligibility requirements ).

That's true ... that's the closest thing I could find to my case in the IRCC website. Looks like there is nothing for people who are in my situation, we just have to wait for the approval of the second closed work permit before we can start working. I will call CIC tomorrow and post here if...

I have a full time job with a closed work permit (specific to my employer), and I would like to get another closed work permit for another employer for a part time job (I will be working for both employers at the same time). I wondered if it is possible to request a work authorization while...

I had the same question so I thought to answer them here. There are two dates: - Test date: This should be entered as the date that is written in front of "date de la session" in your attestation even if it does not correspond to your exact test date. TCF Canada centers have sessions that are...

That "closed again" notice is before the "Sept 14 opening" notice (you can check webarchive). They were just a bit lazy deleting their previous updates regarding closures. So the VAC at LA is open (only for passport submission/return).

I wanted to thank everyone for their answers , but I submitted my EE profile and it gave me that 6+6+0+0 points in the CRS calculator. So either this is a glitch in their system or it is really the case that once you pass the 67 points FSW, the minimum requirement of clb5 in all 4 abilities...

I should also add that I did in fact check the CRS tool and it gave me 6+6+0+0 points for the second language. But I wanted to make sure of that.

Thank you for the reply :D I see, I am getting confused because in the FSW website it explicitly mentions this fact (that you need the CLB 5 minimum)...
