    USA to Canada but have Pending asylum in USA

    I don’t understand how you can be seeking asylum and then going back to home country to apply for somewhere else? It just looks like a back door to economic immigration and you weren’t actually fleeing anything.

    Express Entry System (French-Language proficiency 2026-Version 2) Requirements

    No, French category is French category. You’ll get an ITA if you meet the cut off. You just qualify under FSW or CEC.

    Application Submitted - what next?

    Tracking only becomes available once you have received the BIL and medical has been validated. You’ll get a message in your IRCC GCKEY when those things have been done. Usually a day after that is when you can create your profile to use the tracker. Just for your info it’s taking about two...

    Express Entry System (French-Language proficiency 2026-Version 2) Requirements

    That is correct. There is only one profile created. There are three streams (which will be changing in future). French proficiency is a subcategory and sits within CEC or FSW. You need to meet the requirements for either CEC/FSW/FST to be in the pool. Your ITA is dependent on your CRS score...

    Are these results from your tracker? I'm curious if your tracker ever showed eligibility started? My tracker shows background verification as "in progress" and eligibility shows as "not started", whereas on the ircc gckey it shows "we are checking your eligibility" and background has "not started".

    BIL non accompanying required or not???

    Medicals and police certificates (as applicable) are required for non-accompanying family members but in general biometrics are not required. In your case, if a BIL was not issued for them then it isn’t required.

    I also gave my biometrics today. My portal reads the exact same as yours. My understanding (and I'm happy to be corrected) is that although eligibility shows as "not started" on portal that the initial part of it is already done. From what I can garner from reading various forums and asking...

    Study visa chances

    You're leaving a country that has multiple universities in the world top 1% to try and study in the Canadian maritimes? Doesn't make much sense..... I understand the UK (Scotland) has made it very difficult for people to bring their family to live with them. The income threshold was raised...

    Do I need a police clearance from previous countries for Express Entry?

    Can't help you with the Philippines specific questions, but essentially if you are now in Canada and have not returned to Philippines for a duration of more than 6 months (and really better if not at all) then you can apply for the police certificate now.

    Car shipping From Canada to UAE – Advice for people relocating?

    Some American and British applicants seem to have a sense of entitlement to exceptional treatment when it comes to applying to immigrate to Canada

    You lost me with the "check your privilege" and "Karen" remarks - puerile nonsense. What exactly was the point of your story, other than to indulge in a bit of whining? Would you like me to dig up thousands of comparable cases involving applicants of other nationalities who have complained...
