If the company is not Canadian and my work was outside Canada what documents do I need? I can get company reference letter and bank statements for the salary transfers, probably will be hard to get tax docs because I out of country, would that be enough for EE FSW? Also another story, I'm...

I am currently in the same situation and yes we can work full time remotely. It explicitly says on the "What is work?" page the following:

My classes start in September

I don’t see double taxation as a huge problem because I’m only aiming to have my 3 years exp complete even if 20 hours part time resulting in x2 the months length, more interested in the FSW calculation part; will consult a professional regarding the tax thing of course.

Hello, I am asking whether I can use the time I work remotely for a foreign company (no legal presence in Canada) as experience for my FSW points? - Also is the 20 hours limit enforced for this remote work or is that limit just for the Canadian off campus work? I was wondering because my...

I just got my BVL and PPR yesterday out of the blue! I dropped my passport today at vfs and hopefully I get my passport in two weeks or less! Good luck to the rest of you! COR: Cairo Citizenship: Egyptian Timeline: Applied - May 14 Biometrics - May 18 Biometrics updated on the tracker - May...

Are you applying from Egypt? Or have you stayed in a country that needs medicals for more than 6 months?

You can delay the beginning of your studies up to 150 days from the original start date. As long as it's the same institution you should be fine with one semester deferral...

I just noticed that my background check is in progress since day 1, it says We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information. That is since I submitted my application, is that normal? And does it actually mean they’ve started my background check?

Actually my biometrics in the tracker was updated later the day I posted that, it says on the top for me: "Updated: May 19, 2023"

Agreed! But a Visa Office (VO) is not the same as VFS and yes VFS is just a middle man that prints counterfoil on passports and collects biometrics. Embassies abroad often have an immigration officer (essentially an IRCC employee) and that means the embassy has a Visa Office that reviews...

Hi guys! I applied on May the 14th, gave my biometrics at VFS Giza as well on May 18. Nothing updated yet except biometrics completed (I know too soon, but I'm just tuning in since we're talking about Egypt applicants) Also FYI the strike wasn't affecting international Visa Offices at all...

I just did my biometrics yesterday May 18th, 2023. But it wasn't reflected on the system yet, is that normal? Should I call in VFS to confirm that they've sent them through? UPDATE: I just checked my portal now and they're "completed" in the portal! however the application tracker still says...

As far as I know this is the waiting game. Nothing you can do, best effort is to order your GCMS notes online if you REALLY want to know at what step is your application.

I don't think this is true? You can combine the work experience for CRS points even with gaps, the continuous experience is just the minimum entry criteria that you must have a 12 months continuous experience in your main NOC you're applying with. Am I correct?

The pool distribution almost didn't change :') 232,215 people in the pool just 1,404 less compared to the last draw from https://expressentry.me a hobby project I made, inspired by the legendary ee-stats.com

I'm thinking with the next draw expected to be next week along with the TEER changes today rendering all the profiles in the pool ineligible would make the score go lower than _usual_, right? From the fake profiles and the people who added their profiles and won't make the changes this week to...

I've just learned about this EB2-NIW and it seems interesting at first but if I'm getting everything correctly, a normal (Canadian) ECE master's guy with only work experience (in tech) with no reputable publications/citations has no shot at it, right? The self-petition is for the people with...

Congrats everyone :D +500 again Number of invitations issued: 4,750 Date and time of round: October 26,2022 13:05:36 UTC CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 496 Tie-breaking rule: May 09,2022 09:04:20 UTC
