Hi MightyMike, did you ever get to the bottom of this? Im from the UK to and done a three year apprenticeship in Automobile Mechanics, is there nowhere to get an ECA?

I am a Qualified Vehicle Mechanic from the UK (3 year apprenticeship) and wanted to know where I can get an ECA for this. The five sites that are listed on the IRCC website say they don't evaluate Trade Certificates? Also when calculating my points on CRS, which would be the best answer to...

On the CIC website it says the below. If I am in Canada, do I have to give my biometrics immediately? If you apply for a new visitor visa, an initial study permit or initial work permit You may need to give your biometrics. If so, you may need to leave Canada to give your biometrics at the...

Hi guys, My girlfriend is in the same situation. She is from Germany, living and working in Canada on WHV, expires July 2019. She has applied for YP and has paid the fees for Biometrics, now she has received the letter to provide Biometrics. Does she really have to leave the country to provide...

Hi there, have you managed to sort your YP visa? My girlfriend is from Germany and she has just applied. They have requested her Biometrics and it says in the letter she has to leave the country to do this? Did you experience this, can she just got and cross the boarder and come back? any advice...

@jes_ON I wish it was a prison and I couldn't leave!!! ;) From hearing that it seems very unlikely with my time frame that I'll will be able to get it all done in time. I could still apply for CEC and leave when my IEC expires and just wait for an invitation, in South America?! :cool: Thanks

Thanks @jes_ON, really helpful advice. If I don't get my BOWP in time, is it possible to leave. Maybe go travelling South America say?! All whilst my name is in a pool waiting for an ITA for CEC?? :) I'm hoping my score is high enough and I get an ITA right away, but who knows what it will be...

Thanks @Bunny Thapar

Hi ShreeS, I'm not going to be applying until the end of the year, but currently my points could be anywhere from 425-500. Depending on my language test results which I haven't done yet! I am just wondering on average, if I've got a high enough score would it take to get an ITA.

Thanks that makes sense, whats you knowledge like on BOWP?! My IEC expires on December 17th, and I wont have my 1 year CEC experience until November 13th, plus some extra time for the 4 un-paid days I'm taking. My understanding is that Ill have to wait until after this time to put my name in the...

Thanks jes_ON, Would it be best for my employer to mention the 4 days of un-paid leave in the letter too? How would CIC no about this anyway, do you have to provide pay slips, tax form, or just a letter or contract from work?

Hi guys, planning ahead here and after some advice? I will complete 1 years work experience come Nov 13th and will apply for CEC.... However I'm taking three weeks paid vacation and also 4 days of unpaid leave to go back to Europe for a friends wedding, bloody friends :)!!! Does anyone know if...

I regards to the hours worked, does anyone know if vacation or unpaid leave counts, or if you have to add time on for this? Technically I'm still employed at the time, and have a full-time contract!!!

Thanks Tessa2105, in regards to the BOWP. Do you know if I can apply if I havent had an ITA?

I thought that I could also apply for BC PNP EE, to have along with FSW or CEC to improve my score by 600 points.

Thanks for your advice, maybe I will do that an make a profile and hope I get an ITA. If not I could just wait in the pool until I've done my one year and change my profile to a CEC application? With this so are you saying if i started in November, I should wait until December to apply? Do you...

No, I do not have that many points. I'm not ready to apply for CEC until November, at which time I will have more points with my one year experience and also common law status. So if I have enough points at the time, you think that the turn around could be that quick?

First things first, Thank you! This is a great post, very helpful and informative for what seems such a daunting challenge. I am planning on applying for FSW, but am currently living and working in Canada on an IEC. Do you know if I still need to show my POF? Thanks in advance

Hi all, after some advice please! I am from England living and working in Canada on an IEC which expires December 17th 2019. CEC: I am currently working a level B job and will have one years experience come November 13th 2019. My worry is that will I have enough time to put my name in the...

Hey Bunny, Do you mind me asking how long you were in the pool before you got your ITA? I'm planning on applying for CEC but will only have 5 weeks left on my IEC after completing my one years experince. Thanks!
