Hey guys, I just want to share my timeline. God is really good!
February 19 - Received an email from employer that I was recommended by my friend. Asked for my resume and set an interview
February 23 - First video interview with employer
March 1 - Received email from employer to set another interview
March 4 - Video Interview with the rest of the staff and test of skills
March 10 - Job offer Letter
March 11 to April 20 - Resigned, clearance, and gather requirements
April 20 - flew to LA (I wanted to have a vacation first before I start my new job)
Canadian Embassy Application:
April 22 - Applied in-person at the Canadian Embassy in LA. I was told that work permits take 3 days to process. I was told to return after 3 days. I asked if I needed a medical exam, they said they don't think so, but I was asked what my job was. I told them I was in IT and they gave me the IT skillset NOC and asked me to encircle what skills I possess.
April 27 - Went back to the embassy. Was told that I would need to get a medical exam. Called the DMP to set an appointment.
April 28 - Went to the DMP and had my medicals done. Was told to call after a week for the tracking number
May 4 - DMP sent medical results to Ottawa
May 10 - Ottawa received medical results
May 18 - Emailed LA embassy. Embassy has received my medical results already.
May 24 - Went to embassy to follow up on my application, got my passport, TRV and work permit letter.
According to my work permit, it has been approved since May 18.
I just wanted to let you guys know that I NEVER received any form of communication from the embassy. I never received an email, a letter in the mail, or a phone call. I just went to the embassy each and everytime to followup. Had I not gone to the embassy today, I wouldn't have known that my visa has been approved since last week. But, I'm happy that it is. Praise God
