    Got eCoPR can I travel?

    I think that once you become a PR, you need to travel under your passport AND permanent resident card. I know for a fact that this is the case for citizens with passports that don't require a tourist visa to come into Canada. If you don't have the card yet, then you would need to apply for a...

    Express Entry but then dont find suitable employment

    If your PR had to be revoked because the job you get in Canada is not superior to the one you had in your home country, then nobody would get to stay in Canada. Your biggest concern in case of cross-border employment would be to make sure you get your tax ducks in a row, because you would have...

    PRTD processing time

    Hi, I landed as PR on May 22nd of this year. I have a great 3-weeks training opportunity in the States in August, but I have not received my PR card yet. I have several questions: 1. Can a business trip be used as a motive to request urgent processing of the PR card ? 2. How long does it...

    Address Update Notification Tool

    Hi, Has anybody had any chance using the online address update notification tool ? The content of the "Identification Number:" fields is replaced by dots as if it was a password and when you want to continue, the system tells you the application is nowhere to be found. I have the form to fax...

    PR Landing Experience from 2022

    When you land, you need to fill up to two forms for customs : one is to declare what you are bringing with you when you land (B4) and the other one is to declare anything that you may have shipped later at your address in Canada (B4S). Personally, I did declare the phones and the laptop...

    Hi, I have a quick question : IRCC recently updated its fund requirements for PR. When landing, does the proof of funds need to meet the new requirement or the requirement in place at the time the application was approved ?

    Employment verification

    IRCC doesn't expect you to send 720 individual letters. Identify your accounts that give you most regular work and ask them for a reference letter that would state that you have been providing them with services as "Job name" since year XXX. If you bundle that up with your article of...

    Employment verification

    - You only need to prove the amount of work experience you claim in the last 10 years, not necessarily 10 years. - The maximum of points in foreign work experience is for "3 years or more". So, I would not worry too much about evidence for your activity before 2014. Mix and match of articles of...

    Express entry rejection?.. GCMS note says “not met”

    My take on this (and I am not an immigration consultant or lawyer) is that if "Final" is still empty, the final decision has not been made yet and you should not waste more time, but go ahead and upload new documents that will address the officer's concern. You can also submit these notes to a...

    >>>>>>>NOVEMBER 2020 AOR<<<<<<< Join here

    Without ordering the GCMS notes, I can only think of two options to get that information : You can try selecting "No" for the question "Is your application being processed by an office OUTSIDE Canada?". If you are lucky, they will tell you that they cannot help you and they will indicate which...

    How to prove freelancing work

    For the "one year continuous" part, it is referring to the work experience in the NOC declared. It doesn't have to be one year with one client. I am a freelance translator and I applied as self-employed. I cannot say that I have a single client that would meet the definition of assigning me...

    The only thing you have to do now is wait to receive an invitation to apply. The time you will spend waiting in the Express Entry pool will depend on your CRS score.

    Urgent: can I file for my eAPR as a tourist, outside of my country of residence?

    IRCC doesn't really care where you are when you are filling in the forms, so they won't ask you why you did it that way.

    Express entry rejection?.. GCMS note says “not met”

    What does it say for "Final" in the "Assessments" section of the GCMS notes? Don't waste more time. If you have the correct supporting documents, upload them as soon as possible, so that the person who will make the final decision on your application can assess them during the review.
