    Where did I find out specifically on my GCMS notes, or where did I get the notes from?

    September 2018 AOR - join here

    (I'm posting this here too because I feel with an AOR of 30 Aug, I was more a September member, than August :) ) I received my GCMS notes this morning and guess what... application was approved on the 13th December 2018 (COPR generated, the works). Firstly, Yay! Secondly, there definitely is...

    I received my GCMS notes this morning and guess what... application was approved on the 13th December 2018 (COPR generated, the works). Firstly, Yay! Secondly, there definitely is delays in getting PPR emails out. Thirdly, get your GCMS notes if you haven't. And for reference, my online portal...

    My thoughts, having followed much of the responses people in this forum have got from IRCC, is that the department is stretched, desperately trying to meet the targets of invites while trying to vet almost 200 000 people a year under constrained resources but still doing a quality job...

    This drama that happened: "A person of "national security concern" was granted permanent residency "due to a series of failures" by the Canadian border agency and immigration department." I believe its likely to have slowed down everyone still needing the security screening (so basically all...

    For those (like me) who are waiting, based on the Immitracker stats, there has been quite a shift in the last 7 days on cases with PPR. We've gone from 40% to 52% for August AORs - which is a proper jump. Based on their stats of profiles, we should see another 20% of August AORs approved in Feb...

    Foreign currency account proof of funds

    Yes, and yes. Include in your letter of explanation where the funds came from as a safety. And try and have the funds in your account for at least 6 months. With regards to the GBP account, it will be less drama if the funds can be transferred to an account you control, but I understand if that...

    Proof of funding during landing in Canada

    Yes, you do need to show proof of funds, and its recommended to have refreshed statements (or however you showed on your initial ITA submission) with you. Naturally, you might have a portion of funds with you at time of landing...

    I got my email that the progress bar is ready and nothing. I've seen this happen when we were part of the development team (as in communications jumped the guns before technical was ready) so I suppose its a bit of my own medicine being on the other side this time. I remain skeptical that the...

    For those of you waiting for your progress bar, remember in the email they said they'd notify you when your progress bar is visible in your profile: "On December 12, 2018, you’ll see a progress bar for your Express Entry application. The progress bar shows the time elapsed since we received...

The progress bar shows the time elapsed since we received your application. It will give you an estimated completion date based on our latest estimated processing...

    Employer no longer operational

    If you are claiming experience years for that job, then yes, it's best to get a reference letter - I would get one anyway. (Otherwise a pay stub?) The easiest is to type up the letter yourself (remember, the reference letters needed here is not glowing recommendations, but factual evidence of...

    I've read many, many comments and points about the progress of an ITA and my conclusion is that the IP1/IP2 isn't reliable anymore. Also, there are other key elements, such as the speed of your local office and specifics of your case. For example, my application is in the IP2 stage based on...

    Ray of Hope - 95th Draw

    I agree with this view. Otherwise, why is Ontario only offering PNP's between 433 and 440 in the HCP stream if they thought the scores were going to drop. I think there's been an internal decision to have a soft limit of 440, and Ontario then went 10 points lower to see if there were other...

    Ray of Hope - 94th Draw

    My thoughts are that because of the 16 days we could see a slight uptick in the cutoff score, maybe to 443, or the same score of 442. 2 extra days at 200 or so profiles is 400 more that need to be accommodated. Not to block out the ray of hope, but my observations are as follows. I think IRCC...

    The 430-437 club! Let's strategize here!

    I was just nominated yesterday, so total it took 92 days and an extra CAD$1550 to go this route. Which, given what is happening with the draws, has been totally worth it (I didn't think so at the start). I wish everyone else the best to get out of the 430-437 club (and while I was 438, I lose 5...

    Proof of Funds - watch the exchange rates

    Hi all, Just a warning that we are going through quite a bit of global economic uncertainty, and your country's exchange rates may have moved quickly, devaluing your Canadian Proof of Funds. (The South African Rand has significantly devalued lately, taking my PoF from CAD$20 000 to CAD $17 800...
