thanks all for the congrats.

i didnt use a consultant and did everything a to z myself.

someone asked about work experience declaration:

Could you please tell me what information did you provide in EE profile- did you mention all your education and work experience or just the ones you were claiming points for? Did you provide your dependant's foreign work experience etc?
What documents did you submit after your ITA? Did you upload your previous passports etc?

i was worried about this since even if it very simple there was no clear direction. logically, i declared only 3 years of work experience to gain max points. i had 2 jobs in the last 3 years so i got my 2 employers to give me the proof. i drafted the letter as per the description and got hr to sign it. then in the personal experience section i listed all of my 10 years experience, without leaving any gap. this approach worked and i didnt have any issues.
Great to see that common sense works. What documents did you submit after you received an ITA? Anything special? Did you upload all pages of your passport including the old one or just pages with stamps? Did you submit copies of your IELTS results or just copies and Degree certificates or just ECA numbers?

uozer: Thanks again for the reply. Just one more quick question please.

Where did you get your medical in UAE? I see only one option in Abu Dhabi and several in Dubai. Want to make sure it is someone who is familiar and ok with the upfront medical and loading the results online. Also did they confirm to you if everything was ok or if the results were just uploaded and you found out from Ecas?

Thank you again for your replies and time.

understand what you mean. i called all 3 options in dubai and went with the cheapest one that gave me enough confidence that they knew what they were talking about. but in general they all were ok once i directed them a bit (mentioning the form no and it needs to be upfront etc). they called in 1 week saying all was OK and they were uploading the result.

Great to see that common sense works. What documents did you submit after you received an ITA? Anything special? Did you upload all pages of your passport including the old one or just pages with stamps? Did you submit copies of your IELTS results or just copies and Degree certificates or just ECA numbers?

just the rprf invoice. they didnt ask for anything else. i uploaded my current passport only - all pages that had any mark on it, even a single stamp. i mentioned in the explanation letter that i had an old passport and can send to them if they request it. i didnt upload it since even the current passport was more than 4 mb. i dont remember submitting ielts results - they must be able to trace it based on the result number you provide. i merged eca result from wes with all degrees and uploaded.

By the way, did you apply alone or with dependants? Just in case you applied with dependants, did you submit their foreign working history in EE profile or just left that section empty?

i applied alone so cant really answer this.

Why the schedule a requirement? I see it includes arrests, I had to answer yes to being arrested and being detained but my police checks are clean because it was just a drink related arrest years ago.. I guess they will probably ask for something about this at some point..

Congrats fl_pie.

I am guessing you didn't get any additional documents request according to your timeline. I am also applying from outside Canada and submitted app on the 11th of April. Now waiting eagerly.
Thanks! Just to clarify, no, they didn't ask for any additional documents. Hope you get PPR soon!

Schedule-A is the major document that can create a big issue if not answered correctly and/or accurately. Only 2 main reasons can bar from being a PR of Canada when you have either or Criminal history. This is covered in SCH-A, which is required when they start the Background Check. You may notice activities you done and the addressed you stayed, military, organization history etc. Earlier they allowed gaps in between the activity in the ITA due to the bug in the EE process and now they wanted to clarify us with manually. They double check with you when you if they find any discrepancies from what CIC has now and what you submitted before.
