    Difference Between NOC 1211 and 1221

    That's because both positions are essentially the same job at different levels and transition between the two positions could be gradual. It doesn't have to be a promotion - you might start as 1211 and slowly shift to 1221 as you get more responsibilities (and pass more of 1211 duties to fellow...

    CAN MEDICAL EXAM BE EXPIRED?

    If you're in Canada (and have been since medical) then most likely they will extend the validity. If you are outside Canada or have been outside Canada since medical they might request another one.

    Forgot to mention about visa refusal

    Check the exact question they've asked you in the form. I'm not sure if they care about visa refusals or entry refusals only (you can be refused entry, even with a valid visa). If they do ask about visa refusals notify CIC as soon as possible (even over email) that you've made a mistake and...

    "Need some advice Urgent"

    Reach out to your former boss and ask him to confirm your job title + duties and explain the situation to CIC. HR might have not been aware you've been acting assistant manager (or the people in HR who were aware of that might no longer be with the company too) - there might have been no...

    Medical Exams Duration

    For me it was 11 months 1 day between medicals received and decision made/COPR issued (and I was not under 2nd review). I expect to get PR card within 13-14 months from medicals. Others waited literally a couple days to get DM.

    Sponsor wife while your PR is under Process

    There is no rule. They have to complete the same checks they had to for you. If you're lucky it's going to be just a couple of weeks extra. On the other hand if you your spouse happens to be a person that will require long and detailed security check it might be a lot. I've heard that for former...

    Good news for all international students

    They are restoring just the old rules. I think the idea behind the 1 year limit is so you couldn't "buy" yourself citizenship by paying for and completing a couple degrees at the cheapest school you can find while flipping burgers on student work permit.
