You're welcome! I didn't get any messages though...

Hi, I was in a somewhat similar situation as I worked after my PGWP was expired, which I was technically not allowed to do. I also participated in a full-time class which i was also not allowed to do as I was now considered a visitor in Canada. I asked a lawyer at the time and he said very...

I recently learned that you could get accused of misrepresentation from the very beginning of your EE profile creation. I built my profile long ago and I wonder: At the "Express Entry Profile Builder" step, are there any questions regarding whether you have once work/study in Canada without...

From what I have been told by a lawyer, you may not study in Canada while a visitor (without a proper study permit), even in the event that the studies are 'short-term' (less than six months). The clause on the CIC website that states that you may not require a study permit to engage in...

Right, however this exception only applies if you take a program that last six months or less from within the time you enter Canada as a visitor. So, in the event you extend you visitor status after the initial six months for instance, you'll not be able to attend any educational institution...

Hi, I have a sudden doubt. I understand that while a visitor in Canada, I cannot enroll in any educational institution or take any "academic, professional, vocational or other education or training in Canada", whatever the duration. (The less than six months rule only applies from the time of...

Thanks for the reply! That's interesting, you mean that even at the point of submitting your application (I'm talking through the ITA, not just to create some CIC profile), the 'Your document checklist' section is a generic one, same for the row 'Proof of Means of Financial Support (required)'...

Hi, I really have two questions regarding proof of funds under CEC: 1) If I do not reside in Canada at the time of applying for Permanent Residency (ITA received), may I still provide proof of funds from a Canadian bank account, or should the accounts be held in my country of origin (or...

You make a good point, especially regarding the autofill. Besides, if the whole process is online, I sure hope they implemented the ability to order it by date ... Thank you for your reply!

Hi, I was filling my personal history form online when I realised I had forgotten a period. Because the form does not let you re-arrange the rows, I would have to delete quite a few in order to insert the missing one at the right spot. This looks to me like an unnecessary hassle. Because the...

Thanks. Enough said.

Thank you for these clarifications. They will help me decide. I think I will go for the ITA. It seems to be the least restrictive option no matter which way I look at it.

Under the heading "Mobility Rights", the section reads, “ 6. (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada. (2) Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right a) to move to and take up residence in any...

I should clarify that I indeed intend to reside in Ontario. So this is not exactly a deciding factor for me as I certainly will try to reside in Ontario.

Thank you for the further replies. It seems to be the majority opinion indeed, but whether the sole purpose of the nomination is to get an ITA is not actually certain. Someone pointed out to me that Provincial Nominees have a 96% success rate obtaining PR. Not a negligible figure. Perhaps...

This seems to be the consensus on this forum and it makes sense, though I would have liked a little more documentation on what advantages can be gained from an nomination even though you have an ITA. However, Pasacal H, when you say "give a chance to those who need it", this is not an argument...

Hi all, I extend my search to this section of the forum. I received a nomination after receiving an ITA on my EE profile. oinp is now telling me that I must decline the ITA if I wish to receive the nomination. My question is: is there any benefit to accepting an invitation when I already...

Thank you for the reply. I thought this might be the case as well, however, I wonder if maybe being granted a nomination from a province could streamline the CEC application. I really don't know. Anyone else has some input?

Hi, I recently got my ITA under the CEC, but I also received an email from OINP letting me know that the decision on my nomination was positive but that my EE profile and Job Seeker Validation code let them know that my status was "no longer available for nomination". OINP now awaits...

Much obliged!
