Haha yeah it does. Part of me still doesn't quite believe it, waiting for the other shoe to drop, IRCC sending an email saying the draw was a mistake and it was supposed to be a CEC draw this week or something like that. It's silly but I guess that's my PTSD from the chaos of the past 2 years showing.Ohhhhhhh, this makes me so happy to read!!!! Congratulations Buddy!!! It feels so surreal , no ?
Now, please and please make sure you don't screw up your application. Check everything a million times, and then check a million times again . If in doubt, just ask here.
Congratulations again. Well deserved. Holding thumbs for those that are still waiting - hopefully 2022 is your year as well.
It was that at first, but I rather enjoy the language now. Really glad I learnt the language, conquered the fear of learning languages I've had since forever along the way too. Bought a few novels last month and they're really growing on me.Dudes french skills gave me chills lol.
If he learned that for immigration, I can't say anything less than great.
Perhaps I'll apply to join IRCC's IT department, to see how the sausage gets made behind the scenes.He’ll soon be a federal worker lol. Most federal jobs are requiring bilingualism and has good pay while only a small fraction of Canadians know both.
Ignorance is bliss!!!Perhaps I'll apply to join IRCC's IT department, to see how the sausage gets made behind the scenes.
Do you think GRE and GMAT are infallible in front of money? See all these centers are run by humans and humans have weak points and sometimes they need money. Fixing exams /admissions is not a new thing and not even unique to India. Remember the famous case in USA where big celebrities / rich folks got their kids in Ivy league universities on fake sports credentials where they didn't even play sport recreationally and took a spot of a deserving poor kid.That still beg the question how did they clear GRE ,believe me it was tough for me atleast,IELTS is a baby compared to GRE.The english section ,that is hard comprehension and all you should have some very good prctice to pass that exam.
This is one thing I saw in US visa interview as long as you get admit from top 50 uni ,in your subject they dont care much,similarly state run school they wont bother you ,if you have scholarships mostly they wont bother you again good GRE score will solve a lot of issues in the US visa interview all this are said about F1 visa.
This I am sure.... You can only claim for masters (or the highest degree).. That's what I did.Guys am I misunderstanding something here? What does it mean to claim point for 2 degrees or more? I am a Masters holder, so can I claim point for my bachelor degree as well? Or Isn't it that I will earn points for my highest degree earned only?
Could someone help me here? I am confused
True. Its not tough to crack US Visa interview coz they have set of standard questions. But getting to to the visa stage is quite a process. Now a days, US is easy to move for Students as most Schools don't need GRE for MS. They still require GMAT for MBA. The reason is Universities took a hit in the last 5 years due to continuous fall of International students as they make up a significant revenue for the universities here.Yeah. US visa interviews are super subjective, even they portray them as the "gold standard" of visa issuance. I have seen some really sleazy guys getting approved and some really talented and competent folks being outright refused. Oh, the joys of a weak passport! Smh.
Probably they chose schools that don't require GRE or low GRE scores. I don't think these 950 plus a$$holes went to IVY leagues or even unranked decent schools. They probably got admits in schools like International American University or United States University or International Technological University. When I was in Texas, I used to see lot of apartments in the Irving and Richardson area where 12 plus Indian guys and girls staying in a 2 bedroom apartments claiming to be Students. When you talk to them, you will learn that they faked their way to US. No surprise where they come from as most of them hail from that one state (which is divided as two now). @PRANIT01 and other Indian here probably knows which state(s) I am talking about. They attend namesake colleges for 4 to 6 times in a semester and give exams. Rest of the semester they work at Desi Consultancies (Indian IT Sweatshops) doing coding or marketing work and few work at Gas stations and Restaurants. I did speak to few who are brilliant (In coding) but they come from poor families and this is the only way for them to comes to US. USCIS knows this and they don't give a two f about it.That still beg the question how did they clear GRE ,believe me it was tough for me atleast,IELTS is a baby compared to GRE.The english section ,that is hard comprehension and all you should have some very good prctice to pass that exam.

For me personally (and that is just me), I wouldn't want to study in the US. Because first of all, it is expensive as hell and you can't really get a visa easily if you want to study in a community college. And since I do want to immigrate, I can't envisage myself working on an H1B with no clarity on a Green Card. But then again, this matter has been a subject of massive and intense debates on this forum, so I won't dig deep into it since people tend to have "passionate" opinions on this. Personally, I am much more at ease in waiting patiently for 9-12 months until my Express Entry file gets processed, and then have a PR straight away.True.

Some schools are public funded. You may not be considered as an Government employee but part of your salary comes from tax payer's money.Hello guys could you tell me please
Does working at the university as a teacher-researcher considered a government position?
Same here. Need PCC from three countries. Plus my work experience letter isn't drafted properly so I have to contact my old employer once I get back to India. I do have a decent score but still need to collect a few docs before entering pool with other friendly fishies :3Thanks, we are in this together. I have all my 3 Police clearance (I've lived in 2 countries other than my birth country) already on deck. I might just need to fix my Letter of work experience a little, but at least I cannot complain.
I've heard stories of kids from borderline diploma mills getting 8-9 H1B tech offers with no interviews through "consultants" lol. I have no idea what those companies are. USCIS gives a f in a roundabout way. They know that this problem exists. That's why they conducted that sting operation by making a fake university a few years ago. However, they mostly just screw every Indian in the US with quotas/H1B lotteries/decades of green card wait times etc instead of taking action to enforce these loopholes in a more specific manner.

USCIS can stop if they want but they don't. These sting operations are eyewash for the public "Look we caught the bad guys" while letting go thousands of criminals.I've heard stories of kids from borderline diploma mills getting 8-9 H1B tech offers with no interviews through "consultants" lol.
