    Advice for "engineers" applying to Professional Engineers Ontario for P.Eng.

    Not at this point, you don't. It's only at a later stage, when you will be required to prove your total years of experience, that they'll do a check with your referees.

    Landed in May 2018 - experience so far

    MY TAKE on CANADIAN WAY of LIFE (so far) 1. The Landing I landed as (a dependent) PNP in Toronto on May 29, 2018. It was a smooth sailing, with welcoming faces of CBSA officials. At the immigration a queue was expected, and it took us close to an hour to get our CoPRs stamped. We headed to...

    Government Employees who got ITA/ PR

    Mine is a bit twisted story (and pretty long too). I had dropped the idea of quitting a (seemingly) very reputable and secure gazetted Government Job and to stay back with my parents, but then a godsend literally dug and excavated me out of this hell-hole (corruption pit). On the inside, I...

    Questions on Jobs for Electrical Engineers

    With my limited research on the potential for jobs for Electrical Engineers (outland), I find the following stumbling blocks at the outset. 1. Requirement for a Class G Driving licence, which is impossible to acquire immediately (Ontario context). 2. Being a regulated trade, every job posting...

    Government Employees who got ITA/ PR

    Hi, I work as a State Government Employee in India, and I received my CoPR yesterday. As long as you got a clean service history and no criminal record, Canada will not finch on welcoming you on-board. Good luck in your endeavours.

    How Much Time It Takes From Passport to Visa Stamped via VFS

    I actually gave away all the 500 rupee notes that I had in my person; respectfully putting them in an envelope before handing it over to the happy courier personnel. I think there were about 12 notes in total, the only catch being all these 500 rupee notes are older demonetised ones :D. He made...

    Singapore VO. Let's connect.

    What are the timings at the VAC when they accept the passports, the VFS website doesn’t specify. It just states application submission timings, not for passports. Did you submit yours at VFS Singapore? If yes, at what time during the day? Thanks!!

    The anatomy of a Background Check? - <<<<<<IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS>>>>>>>

    Having said the above, the following must be a typo. By pre-tracker era, you clearly meant to write June 2015 there (quoted below), and I can agree with you then :). What confused me, was that the post was actually written in June 2017 and not June 2015. Anyway, I don't wish to delve deeper...

    The anatomy of a Background Check? - <<<<<<IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS>>>>>>>

    Firstly, I wasn't expecting a response from you, but it felt great!! I ended up actually verifying the data during that time, and well - PNP applications were processed slower even during that period (June 2017). The veracity of the processing times is, this time, based on interaction with...
