What bestofluck stated is right.

Well, BG: NN-NS-NN-IP-PPR-PR
NN-NS-NN-IP-NN-PPR-PR
NN-NS-NN-IP-NN-IP-NN-PPR-PR are the statuses that have been observed, experienced by several applicants.
How, when, under what criteria the changes happen can't be predicted.

We need to patiently wait and watch the progress and act according to IRCC request for RPRF etc.

+1 for the useful compilation @MZASAM ...

Hello Guys
I am going to OINP master's stream, but have been unemployed after my graduation for about more than 6 months, not even part time jobs. Does it effects my application.

Regards

If you have atleast 1 year continuous Full time work experience in your chosen NOC in last 5 years, then you are fine. Unemployment is not a reason for disqualification with either OINP or IRCC.

Your Background Check has changed from Not needed at this time to Not started. And this is a very good sign.

Hi Guys,

I received my ITA on 8th Feb and in process of completing/compiling my documentation for e-APR. Need advice on the following -

1. For my (and my wife's) current work experience reference letter, we are hesitant to approach our current employers as that would negatively impact our prospects here. Would an offer letter + salary slips + Tax return form (Form 16) suffice?

2. Our other job reference letters do not mention salary details but other requested information (job title, duration, roles & responsibilities etc) is present. Do i need to attach salary slips as proof for salary details?

3. My wife has had employment with 6 employers before and we are unable to get a reference letter for one of those companies (though we have the offer letter + salary slips + tax return form). Should we simply mention that in the LoE and attach the above alternatives? If we remove this one employment, does it amount to misrepresentation and/or affect our chances? My guess is since this is spouse work-ex, it doesn't affect my CRS score.

Appreciate any guidance on the above.

Thanks.

Hi

I realized now that I mistakenly submitted same documents in 2 different places. Is there any way I can update or attach a document to my file after receiving AOR ? I forgot to update my WES and Indian degrees, instead updated the Canadian degree twice :'( How can I correct this mistake ?

Please advise.
Thanks

Raise a CSE.

Alternatively, you can send mail with updated documents to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca and your local visa office (if known)

Employment Reference letters are considered mandatory by CIC for scoring work experience points. If you were not able to get those letters, either you can give a self-declaration or a reference letter signed by your colleague. But remember you cannot do this for all or most of your employers, though we dont know about the rules of CIC (about how many letters can be from employers & how many can be self-declared). Such cases might extend background verification and it might delay application processing time.


PS: I'm not an expert, just sharing my observations fyi

1. You need to submit reference letters only for the jobs that you claim points for. Check this link to know about alternatives in the absence of a formal reference letter http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/nail-the-challenge-of-getting-reference-letter-from-current-employer-t397796.0.html

2. Yes

3. Same as point 1. If any removal of work experience from Work History to Personal History does not affect your points, then you are good to go.

Hello,

How can someone know where his file is being processed without ordering GCMS notes ?

Is there any way to know?

Thanks
