Trying to determine whether it is useful WES ECA for a spouse's SSC certificate from India. In the CRS calculator it shows 0 points for high school, but 2 points for high school graduation. Does SSC qualify as high school graduation for the 2 points or are the points only for HSSC? Thanks.

I keep reading reference to this question. I don't understand how people cannot see it is clearly misrepresentation to accept a PNP nomination when they have no intention of residing in that Province. I have done a little google research this morning and found this regarding BC. The other...

I am posting this for everyone who is grateful to be at whatever stage of immigration they are and wonders what they can do to make a difference in Canada (or any country). Make the gifts of joining your Provincial Organ Donor Registry and donating blood. As Canada welcomes all cultures the...

This is new score. 1530 invitations today.

If an applicant has "in process" what does that stage mean and how long would it last before changing. From what I can tell, they have 468 points and should have had ITA on 10 July.

I don't claim intellectual property on this concept and with luck the Stats people will find some useful data in this thread. I am hoping it could lead to a reliable draw score calculator. There has been discussion whether or not updating profiles is a predictor of upcoming draws. I did a flash...

Has anyone had the experience, or heard of anyone waiting for their IELTS and finally being told that they would have to rewrite exams as they cannot find the ones written 4 weeks ago?

How long did it take to get IELTS results from British Council in Hong Kong? I would appreciate hearing from anyone who wrote from January to March 2015 and include location of test. Many thanks.

I would like to ask how people like pilots, sailors, oil patch workers, etc., calculate their work experience when they do not work a "normal" Monday to Friday 9-5 work day? When you are only allowed to count 35-37 hrs/wk approx per week it just doesn't work for some employees who might work...

I found this BOLDED notice in the CIC information on Express Entry: "If you do not register with Job Bank within 30 days your Express Entry profile will expire." http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp

I am wondering how the latest changes to the TFW programme might affect PNP. Specifically, the change from NOC OAB CD. To high wage and low wage. For example, if a supervisory position which requires previous management experience and possibly college or university education pays less that the...

I have just heard an interesting story from a friend who had to drive from North Vancouver up to Whistler in order to get a CT scan. Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver is down TWO people, cancelling appointments , and sounds like they can't find replacements. Just thought I would throw...

How does a non visa exempt student get a coop placement in Canada? What visa is required and what does employer have to do? Does position have to be advertised as it would for LMO? Any suggestions on locating employers willing to hire coop students? Many thanks for sharing your ideas.

Well it sounds like things are changing again. There is a new Minister of Citizenship And Immigration, Toronto area Chris Alexander. Wonder what we wil be talking about a year from now ?

I am very new to the business stream and would appreciate some advice. Hypothetical scenario: a qualified person from a NON-visa exempt country sees an interesting business with a 2 year lease and further 5 year lease available. How would they be able to make this deal happen in a timely...

Our Canadian friend married a lovely fellow from a visa exempt country. They lived in Canada for 3.5 years after he got PR then returned to his country for a good work opportunity he was offered in early 2011. They have bought a house and she found full time work as well. He was given notice...

I would like to hear from everyone who used VFS, especially in Mumbai. Please indicate the date you submitted your application at VFS and the date it was received in the ND Visa Office. I like to know the number of days it actually took and if you had any problems. Thanks.

Our friend's work permit application was refused in an obvious administrative error (GCSM shows the VO did not double check the identity = UCI and application details do not match.) For two months he has tried to get a response from NDVO. His lawyer wants to accompany him to NDVO to discuss...
