Hi,
Long post alert.
I am new to this forum. Hope somebody can help. I applied PR under Canadian experience class. Here is my timeline:
PR submitted: 29 march 2018
applied bridge open work permit: 29 mar 2018. Received and valid from 5th may 2018 to 5th May 2019. reapplied again as I have not received my PR yet.
Got married: 10th April 2018. Change in status. received my marriage certificate: 8 May 2018. Updated CIC regarding change in status.
They didn't respond back. followed thrice.
finally they replied on Oct 18, 2018 :( forwarded details of my spouse PR file.
Now twist in the tale:
When i came as a student to Canada, I applied for my student permit and PGWP from my old email ID which I do not use at all. I did not even mention my old email ID in PR application. Month of November 2018, while revisiting my old email (the one I applied student visa with) to get some old document, to my surprise I got an email from CIC regarding landing. And well well well, not just one but 2 emails regarding landing (one in July and another in Oct). I obviously missed those emails because I haven't used my old email from past 3-4 years. They simply ignored the fact that I have asked to change my marital status.
Fast forward, received AOR regarding PR fee for spouse Dec 27, 2018. All documents forwarded as per CIC request. Medical, PCC, IELTS everything is submitted for spouse and have received confirmation from cic as well.
I received a request to submit wife birth certificate. Submitted and received confirmation on 6th Feb 2019.
I have to reapply for bridge permit since in two months my bridge permit will expire.
can somebody please advice what can I do. I have requested for GCMS notes as well. Already applied TRV twice for spouse, both times rejected. I am scared to apply for third time and my marriage anniversary is close as well. This is hurting me a lot. This has been a source of constant mental stress for me, my wife and in-laws. i would really appreciate if somebody can give me a shoulder to cry upon :( or share the pain I am going through. Any advice/comments are welcomed and appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I need your help/suggestion. I have received my ITA last week. But I need to make a change in the job code of my past work experience mentioned in my profile. Instead of 0601 I need to change it to 0122. My crs is 468 currently. Change is job code will not affect my score but with the 0601 job code I am unable to word the ref letters appropriately. Is it possible to change it now and provide a letter of explanation or is it advisable to delete my account/withdraw my ITA and wait for the next draw in a weeks time.

Awaiting a revert from the experts..

Hi, Need help...

While filing EE profile under "Name of school/institution". My college name (from where i studied) is different from the university name which awarded the degree. So should I mention the college name or the university name here? The transcripts used for ECA were issued by my university (Maharishi Dayanad University).

Hi All,

I got my ECA Evaluation done from WES and the Canadian Equivalency Summary in the ECA Report is "Diploma (two years) and bachelor's degree (four years)"
Detailed analysis for both the credentials:

-------------------Diploma, 3 year course from 2003 to 2006---------------------------------
Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: India
Credential: Diploma in Electronics and Communications Engineering
Year: 2006
Awarded By: Board of Technical Examinations, Government of Karnataka
Major/Specialization: Electronics and Communication Engineering
Canadian Equivalency: Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)

---Engineering, 4 year course, entered as lateral in 3rd Semester from 2006 to 2009---
Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: India
Credential: Bachelor of Engineering
Year: 2009
Awarded By: Visveswaraiah Technological University
Status: Recognized Institution
Major/Specialization: Telecommunication Engineering
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

For the Diploma credential, the Status is missing and does not show "Recognized Institution" but at the same time the credential is evaluated as "Secondary school diploma and diploma (two years)"

I created EE profile using this report and adding 2 credentials in the education section. First time when i submitted my profile, For my Diploma credential, i selected "Bachelor's degree OR a three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute" in Level of Education and Secondary Diploma (high school graduation) in Canadian Equivalency. After Submitting, my score came out to be 419 ( i was expecting 451 for 2 degrees).
I modified my application and changed to "Two-year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute" for level of education from 3 year bachelors and submitted it again. Refreshed the application page a few times and got the link to view full application status. I opened the application status link and points changed to 451, but no happy ending here yet. I logged out of the application and logged in after few mins, the scored changed back to 419. I tried this a few times by changing level of education and same thing happened every time.

Has anyone seen this before?
Appreciate your help!

Hello everyone, could someone please help me on this? I was working on my NOC for one year with a company, but then I got another job in a different field but kept the old job as part time. With the amount of hours it adds up to 2 years. If I put on my profile that I have 2 years, I will get more points ( which I really need), but the person who was helping me broke it down in two pieces. 1 year from when I started and another part as part time and I don't think the system is counting them as 2 years. What should I do?
Thanks in advance.
Full time and part time are both considered differently. It is right on their part as well because you can't take it as one though it was a same job.

Need some clarification guys!! I am currently working in Canada completing 1 year in July. CRS score is 400 (does not include 50 points for offer letter). What is the exact policy on jobs offer points? When can I get those 50 points? Is it after completing a year in Canada?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I cannot meet the required CRC score for express entry. I have 348. I am living in saskatchewan, regina.
How does the nomination certificate additional 600 points work. Is it the same as SINP letter. My employer is offering me SINP letter. So please let me know how does it all goes.

Protect yourself from immigration fraud & Scams ?
There are so many people who want to migrate to Canada so desperately that they are willing to do anything for it.
And there are people use this desperation as a trap; they guarantee you that they will get your Visa, They show you too good to be a true picture and try to scam and take your hard earned money.

Hi Nimisha
Just a small question
Why are you applying for the name change.
As per my knowledge, it is not necessary to change the name in passport post marriage.

Hey!
Are you sure it will not pose as a problem during the whole immigration process? Also, I am keen on adding his last name to my maiden name. My maiden surname will become my middle name, so do I need to undergo this process before giving ielts or can I give it with my maiden name and the scores will still be valid?
