1. Yes, you will get the 50 CRS points. Although, it needs to be your primary occupation. 2. You can keep both your jobs, but LMIA one needs to be your primary one until your PGWP expires (since it's open)

Just checked, I actually received the 50 points anyway, I edited my previous comment. Thank you again. For other inquirers, you will receive the 50 points provided that you have met the 1560 hours CEC requirement, even if it's not with current (LMIA) employer.

Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your prompt feedback. I update my EE profile, to claim the 50 points. Have a great day. Keywords for other inquirers: #PGWP #LMIA #ClaimPoints #50points #ValidPGWP #OpenWorkPermit

I am reading mixed responses all over and I am hoping that I can get some consistent responses on this so that other people in my situation can find it useful. I am currently on a PGWP (still valid for 1 more year). I have 1 year CEC eligible work experience from previous employer. I have...

Hi, My CRS points are too low to get an ITA any time soon. I still have 1 year on my PGWP but it will get me only a few points. I just got an LMIA offer, but if I accept it, I will nolonger be able to work for another employer because it comes with a closed work permit. I want to work for...

Hi, Just turned 31 and my CRS points dropped by 18. I thought that you only lose 5 points for age after 30, has anyone lost 18 points? Does anyone have a theory about why, it has been steady for 7 months since I entered the pool.

Hi, Does anyone know if Quality Inspector in Automotive manufacturing (TEER code for Industrial Engineering Technician) falls under STEM category of the new Category-based selection criteria? These are the categories: - French-language proficiency - Work experience in healthcare occupations -...

Has anyone's study permit application taken over a year to receive a decision? My brother applied in May 2020 and still no decision (no approval, no rejection, just processing). Sent multiple emails, webforms, and even got gmcs notes. No idea why it's taking so long. Has this happened to anyone?

If the completion letter has a date, you'll be fine but if it doesn't, then write an explanation letter in your application saying that you received the letter in October even if it says that you completed in August. You can include a copy of the date stamp from the email or portal. Best not to...

when you submit a webform to update your address, do you get an acknowledgement of receipt, like an email or something? I didn't receive any acknowledgement after submitting one

Request a letter from the school registrar or program director or co-op coordinator that verifies that the internship is part of the degree. Tell the school that you require it to apply for your work permit application because your completion letter was issued before your internship was over...

Also get in touch with the school to verify that the internship is part of the the curriculum. Ask them for a letter or something

No, they are two different documents

Yes, I've got just one week. IRCC takes precedent so if they don't let me keep my job, I will make peace with that. As long as I don't jeopardise my status in Canada, they can't pay me enough for this.

I've accumulated some vacation days so far, but even if I didn't, I would just give them notice that I still have not received a decision from IRCC (like 2 weeks in advance) and if that hasn't changed by the time the date reaches, I will need to take time off or stop working for while until I...

I agree, personally I would rather not risk it. Unless IRCC explicitly says it's okay, I will stop working when my date reaches if I have no decision yet. I think making decisions based on immigration norms & reality instead of ignoring it because it was overlooked for someone else on this...

It looks like they have started processing applications submitted in early August. Submitted in September, so my general assumption is mine will be looked at mid-December

any new PGWP approvals?

Great this is very helpful
