    New biometrics

    We submitted Biometrics this past April, when they sent us the first request (they don’t expire for 10 years). IRCC just emailed us new biometric requests. (Not FBI checks, actual biometrics) Has this happened to anyone else? Seems to be a mistake but there’s no place to write them back and ask.

    Any other US citizens applied for SE stream?

    Just wondering if there are others applying (or already applied) for the Self-Employed stream from the US? If so, what is/was your timeline?

    After you receive PR, move anywhere

    Still waiting on my application answer, but if we are accepted for permanent residency, can we move anywhere in Canada? Even Quebec? We did not apply specifically to Quebec.

    Timeline after permanent AOR

    For self-employed: Looks like they automatically send out the biometrics request as soon as they open your application (before actually looking at the application). I’m wondering if they also automatically send out a medical request without looking? Or do they only request medical if your...

    Where to get medicals done?

    Does anyone know if we can do the medicals in Canada? I’m in the US but very close to the border and wondering if we could do it in Montreal or something. Or are we required to do it in our own country? That will likely be much farther away.

    Can I also apply with EE?

    My husband and I applied through the self-employed stream in November of 2020. Looks like we’ll be waiting a long time still. Are we allowed to also create an EE profile? Would that profile work for both of us or do we need to pick one of us? If that’s the case, can that person add a spouse onto...

    Order of tasks for application

    I'm just wondering what the order is after you receive your permanent AOR? Would they ask for medicals if they haven't yet reviewed your application? My question is, if they ask for your medicals, does that mean your application looks good and unless you don't pass the medicals/biometrics...

    Number of self-employed applications

    Does anyone know how to find numbers of self-employed applications for previous years? Would be interesting to see how many apply through this stream yearly.

    Anyone applied a 2nd way?

    I’ve applied via self-employed but am wondering if anyone has applied for self-employed and also through Express Entry? Is that allowed? Also, our CRS points are below 400 and skilled worker program is only around 66 (minimum is 67). Maybe there’s no point in creating an EE profile...? Do...

    Can I apply more than one way?

    My husband and I applied to immigrate via the self-employed route. I think the only other way we might be able to apply would be the Federal Skilled worker program via EE. Though we may not have enough points (66; minimum is 67) and less than 400 for CRS. Are we allowed to apply a 2nd way if...

    Number applying

    Does anyone know approximately how many people apply each year under “business immigration”? Looks like the target number they are accepting is super low in comparison to the other streams.

    Two places for Relevant Experience

    In the checklist, #11 is "Relevant Experience". On Schedule 6A, #7 is "Your Experience". Do I just fill in the form (6A), and then write the same items on a separate sheet for the checklist? Not sure why it asks for this twice. The checklist asks for: "Proof of your...

    Photos in US

    Where can I get the 2” x 2 3/4” photos done in the US? Most places here only seem to do the standard US passport size of 2x2. I can’t just do it myself, right?

    Any sample cover letters for self-employed?

    We are working on our cover letter to attach to our application. Do any of you have any cover letters we could take a look at or are there good samples online somewhere? Thanks!

    Music teachers

    Are there any other self-employed music teachers here? We were looking at various parts of Ontario, should we get a PR card. Coming from the U.S., it seems housing is quite a bit more expensive, especially in Ottawa or Toronto. But prices for music lessons are a lot less. Hmmmm. Doesn't make...

    Does my spouse also need a language test (self-employed)?

    I am applying as the principal applicant for immigration via the self-employed route, along with my husband. It's a bit unclear on the application. It looks like I definitely need the English language test even though that's my native language (application instructions state that the application...

    Do we BOTH need the test for self-employed application?

It looks like I definitely need the English language test even though that's my native language (application instructions state that the application...
