T The job titles don't really matter; only the job duties and responsibilities matter - use the job title that you have in the offer letter (you wouldn't want a discrepancy to occur if IRCC contacts your employer to verify the details). Letters of explanation are something you can submit AFTER...

Correct, but you need to ensure that, by removing the employment from your Work History, it doesn't impact your CRS Score and FSW eligibility (if applicable), since removing it from Work History will also remove it from your 'number of years of work experience' being counted toward the application.

Yes, this section shows after the ITA.

You're not really supposed to have more that one profile. Which is your true NOC? 2173 or 2171? Because that's really all that matters. If you get an ITA on the wrong NOC Code, you risk CIC rejecting any PR Application you submit.

Hey Banami, No, I didn't have to fill out an application - I think the Immigration Officers automatically do it for you during the landing, when they ask you for the address in Canada to which the card should be sent. I was able to link my PR Card application to my myCIC account the next day as...

Hi Guys, Having been a PR now for a little over a month, I've realized there are a few things that people don't usually mention to aspiring PRs, and I thought it would be very helpful if we started a thread to provide these 'unusual' bits of advice that aspiring PRs don't always hear, to help...

I've never heard of this happening either and I would be very suspicious of that agent (when you say agent, I assume you mean a consultant that you hired and paid to assist you with the application process - you have to be careful with wording, because 'agent' normally refers to the Canadian...

Sorry to hear that you're having difficulties, but it's nice to know that your husband is still willing to help you in this process. Landing is literally just coming in through a port of entry (e.g. airport) and talking with Immigration Officers who then sign your necessary documents to...

---------------------------- Eligibility is dependent on applicants obtaining a minimum CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) Level 7 in EACH of the 4 skills - the overall band score does not matter. For someone who took IELTS, this means your IELTS Scores should be as follows: Reading: 6 (CLB...

Sagicor Bank. The wire transfer fees are somewhere between CAD$15 to CAD$25 per wire transfer, but they actually didn't even charge me, so I only paid the incoming wire transfer fees for CIBC.

This is the Express Entry Permanent Residency forum; you might want to find the Student Visa forum...

All we have are the official guidelines from IRCC: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html Your work experience must be: in the same type of job as your primary NOC within the...

What is it that you're applying for? Permanent Residency under the Express Entry programme? If you're applying for Express Entry PR, 'sitting idle' doesn't matter. I don't know if it is relevant to other types of visas, or to what visas those persons/youtube videos were alluding.

I agree with DelPiero (and DON'T use any of those immigration agencies; they clearly don't know anything and will get you in trouble). IRCC doesn't care about employment gaps; they just care that you have the relevant type of experience, for the number of years claimed, within the last 10 years...

I opened mine when I got here; they needed my SIN (social insurance number). It was quick and easy - we didn't have an appointment but they were able to assist us as soon as we walked in. It took 30 minutes to open a chequing account, a savings account, pin my debit card, register for online...

It was very easy, but that's because my bank in my home country has a programme where you can communicate with them via email to authorize any transactions (as long as you previously authorized this, and they call you after receiving the instructions to verify your identity). I just sent them my...

No, you're not required to BRING the money with you when you're landing; you just have to show that you have the funds and will be able to transfer them to/use them in Canada when needed (i.e. proof of funds). And that's if the Immigration Officer even asks you to show this, because most of the...

No, I didn't - I opted to only bring a small amount (CAD$500) and then to wire transfer in the rest of my money once I had opened my bank accounts in Canada a few days later. But I also had existing credit cards at the time that could be used internationally, as well as family members who were...

Oh dear...hmmmm, I'm actually not sure since I wasn't in this specific situation - have you tried searching the threads on the forum to see if you can find an answer? I'm sure this issue has been addressed before...

Hi ahmdjunaid, 1) The Canadian equivalency summary is the overall result of assessing both Degrees 2) Your ECA is equivalent to ONE Bachelor's Degree (ultimately, you're relying on the Equivalency SUMMARY 3) You have to choose one Bachelor's Degree. So, unfortunately, you are only eligible for...
