Quick follow-up because you asked about the legality of signing off early. I don't know about Canada or India, but in my European home country an employee could be liable for damages if the employee doesn't fulfill their contractual obligations. E.g. If the company cannot deliver a project on...

Avoid burning bridges if at all possible. I would be less concerned about the legal implications (because it would be expensive for your old employer to pursue you in civil court) and more concerned about needing your old employer's support (e.g. Reference letter) after you quit. Try to bring...

In your position I would respect the 90 day notice period because this demonstrates your reliability to your new employer. If you are willing to break an agreement with your old employer then your new employer must assume that you will not respect an agreement with them, either. I would mention...

Confirmed that you can continue to work with an expired SIN: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1505&top=17

The documents you mention are sufficient to apply for the extension and they prove that the university has placed you into the PhD program. I would assume the officer will favourably interpret your application because switching from a master's to PhD indicates that you are a well-above-average...

Yes, this is typical for immigrants. I came as an international student but my partner (with a PhD in humanities) was struggling to find a job for a long time, then started volunteering at the library, then got a job at a bookstore, and finally got a professional position. It was a long road but...

You can work with an expired SIN on implied status. Just renew your SIN as soon as you get your new permit and you should have no problems. I was in the same situation before I became PR and confirmed at a Service Canada location that this is ok.

Wait until you get your PGWP and a NOC 0, A, or B job with three pay stubs. Applying now makes no sense because his SOWP would be valid no longer than your study permit.

Although I don't know how SINP evaluates matching education and work experience, the "employment requirements" in NOC 0621 list: "A university degree or college diploma in business administration or other field related to the product or service being sold may be required." Your electrical...

Congratulations from this internet stranger! It's a long journey - I've been living in Canada since 2014, became a PR this year (2021) and can apply for citizenship in 2023. That's means I will become a citizen in 2024 - only 10 years after choosing to live in this grand land! Is it worth the...

IRCC wants a higher quality scan or photo of your bank statement. Presumably, the image quality of the scan you submitted was too low. This request does not indicate a positive or negative decision on your application.

Look into getting a master's degree where funding might be available. I don't know if master's students in economics are usually paid a stipend, but in engineering this is quite common. You would want to focus on finding research-/thesis-based master's programs (not course-based programs) and...

I applied with a three year old work experience letter and my PR application was approved. As long as your letter fulfills all of IRCC's criteria the age of your letter shouldn't matter.

You can upload the PCC in the document section of your account until the day of the deadline (Ottawa time). That upload will go directly to the officer without delay. If you submit your PCC via webform then an agent will view your webform several days later and then attach your PCC to your...

I so adamantly responded to your question because I was in a similar situation that included: several short stays in a country that added up to less than six months, an additional document request for a PCC, and an unanswered webform about that PCC request... Getting my PCC was very challenging...

If I were in your shoes I would apply for the PCC as soon as possible. Then upload a letter of explanation to the IRCC portal to ask for an extension, with proof that you applied for the PCC (for example by attaching the payment receipt, PCC application form, etc.). Missing PCCs are the main...

No, you need to provide the PCC. The six months rule only applies to upfront PCCs. If the officer asks for a PCC as an additional document request then you must get it. Explaining that you think you shouldn't need to get it on a technicality won't work.

That seems like a good approach. Good luck!

Work experience letters don't expire. You only need to prove work experience for the number of years that you claim points for. If your 'old' letter covers that time period then there is no need to get a new letter. (I assume you are applying under Express Entry) I applied with a three year old...

When you apply online you'll get a letter containing your SIN via postal mail at the address you provide.
