Looks like it was indeed the real IP2. Security passed and on "verge of being finalized" as per IRCC agent. Guess I'll get it in the next batch that VO Ottawa releases.

Same here, but I don't see living in Canada long term would be sustainable. Housing price is one big reason why I may leave.
Air canada changed their procedure. Only pick bags at final destination. Don't know how that works with customs, but that was how they did with me and told me it was new procedure when I asked.
You're exaggerating. It's only $600,000 for a 500sqft 1 bedroom in Vancouver. Not that bad.
Any kind of semi-decent place in Shanghai costs more than that (per sqft)
And by decent I mean pleb standards like my own.
Make sure you get the right one. L1B is hell. L1A is heaven. (For Indians/Chinese).
$800k for 1 bedroom apt or $4m for a detached house is affordable. Canada has a great real estate affordability especially in Vancouver in Toronto. Considering that immigrants are strategically invited by IRCC and find skilled employment within 4 weeks with big pay cheques, it's no surprise young people of Vancouver and Toronto are having easy time buying homes.Any kind of semi-decent place in Shanghai costs more than that (per sqft)
Due date in GCMS doesn’t mean anything. It is just a placeholder.Nah not spending more cash on ircc. Called instead and the agent said eligibility recommended passed and background not started. No issues noted on file...no due date indicated by officer...just gotta wait
I'm in a whatsapp group of atleast 25 people who got adrs in Feb and 1st week of March....so yeah...there should be way more like us
EdIt: i like how you still expect anything canada immigration to make sense after what we've been through these past 2 years
Good strategy. When you get HPI visa you only have 90 days to land in England.
Oh wow, I can afford the 90-day window but didn't know it. Thanks, it'll definitely help me plan my application.
BTW where did you find this information? I wonder what else I could be missing.
The density of sarcasm is over the roof
I didn't mean Vancouver/Toronto is affordable. It's just that crazier stuff happen way too often these days.
I'm also applying as a backup. One of the agents in my country told me.
So far I just completed the degree verification step. So I am planning to hold on to the next step (post May 30th) until I actually decide to go. That visa itself is not a route to UK PR.
1. Yes I did get an engineering job.
2. Here's what happened: I was actually approached by the company via linkedIn, I didn't technically "applied" for them. Once they found out I have a pending PR application. We sort of made a pseudo-deal that they would be willing to hire me once I get my PR approved. The job offer was made several months back. Once I landed in Canada, all that was left was to get me onboard the company since all the interviews, and all the negotiations were already done.
Don't know what engineering field you are but ASIC engineers for some reason are a high demand in Canada right now.
