As long as your POF does not drop below the required funds for 2 people, you should be fine.

Exactly. Also to add,I have a kid who is currently applying for undergrad scholarships (outside Quebec) and she doesn't qualify for quite a number of opportunities cos she doesn't speak/read/write French.
French is an official language in Canada, so I am not sure why anyone would think learning it is a waste if you don't plan to be a politician.
This is very true. I am currently going through the interview process for an aerospace engineering position at Transport Canada. They do prefer bilingual people in general. But the salary is lower than my current job so even if I get the position I'll reject it.
The recruiter tells the salary expectation upfront during the 30min screening call. And why are you going through the 'process' if you will reject it?
The salary is mentioned in the posting, they don't have any screening calls for this position. I am going through the process as I want to see if they will be willing to give me the Highest and higher than my current salary Level vs the Level Lower than my current salary if I am selected. It's unlikely but worth giving a shot as I like the job.

Hi I hv a degree from the UK which I studied in through a partner institute, in Singapore. Under personal history, do I mention that partner institute or just a university name that awarded the degree?
IRCC has already issued probably ~35K ITA this 3 months alone, at this rate assuming an equal number of ITA for the rest of the year, they will issue ~140K ITA this year. I am not sure how will the math check out.
Also, the CRS actually dropped to 75 during COVID because IRCC was desperate. I am not sure it will not be repeated.
The 481 CRS cutoff might also be the draw that #StopTheFrench because outland applicants can get an ITA without any French at CRS 481, so people will be less likely to learn French and CRS will spiral downwards.
It's actually a bit strange that in Canada it's easier to get a PR than LMIA. Then, what's the point of LMIA?
Another question is how to maintain French proficiency in Canada (outside Quebec) when there is no exam to strive for? I would imagine its hard to maintain language skills if you don't speak or do anything with it every day.
Yep, my French is nowhere near as good as it was when I took the test almost 2 years ago. Although this is partially also a side effect of learning a language so quickly - I never had the time to properly remember it.
I still try to read or watch the news in French. Graphic novels are also really good. So my understanding of spoken and especially written French is still pretty good. But practicing speaking and writing is much more tricky, especially with the move etc. Maybe once I'm in Canada, I'll try to practice a bit more as I would not want this whole effort to go to waste.
You should mention the same as on your certificate, you can also mention UK uni and mentioning Singapore campus along with it. Make sure you don't mention UK, in case PCC is requested and wondering the reason although being never been to UK.
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I'm indicating where the activity takes place as Singapore. But the certificate only mentioned UK uni and nothing abt Singapore campus. Is it ok if I just mentioned UK uni with activity took place in Singapore, without SG campus name?
Hi, pls answer me... I have 2 savings account. One has enough to show POF. Do I still need to show the other one? There's not much money inside and it's not loan account. Just daily expenses account.
For PCC its mentioned that it's needed after 18 years of age. But on the 18th birthday I wasn't in my country as I was living in the UK
Firstly, should I still write 18th birthday in the 'from' section or the date I landed back in my country?
And secondly, then what about the 1-1.5 years I lived in the UK again after going back there?
