New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

[ElStu]

I have a question about this part:

1. Be employed in Canada with a valid permit or authorization to work pursuant to the Act and Regulations at the time the application for permanent residence is received and must not be self-employed, unless working as a medical doctor in a fee-for-service arrangement with a health authority. The employment must meet the definition of work under subsection 73(2) of the Regulations;

Does a study permit that allows me to be employed as a research assistant in campus apply to this condition? because my study permit states that I can accept employment.

Yes, it should work. As long as you have a Canadian degree. I’m also a research assistant and have a Canadian degree and working on a study permit. We’ll see how it proceeds on May 6 and if this is all true or what!

Chatty Lawyer livestream summary:

1- IRCC will upload the application guide anytime from now on, so we might not have to wait until May 6th after all
2- It won't use the same portal as AIPP, PNP, etc. Might look very similar.
3- Application wizard will generate the checklist for you
4- Imm 0008 is definitely going to be required, he says it's not going to be online so we'll have to use acrobat
5- Imm 0008, the drop down list issue: the program will be probably be under economic stream, there are chances they update it before May 6th.
6- Kinda fluff, but he mentioned there's going to be a lot of people asking for the day off or getting a sick day :')
7- He kinda hinted the stream will open during office hours
8- We're going to have to pre-register, complete and submit the applications. Until you submit you're not in. You must submit your complete application.
9- On the main page there's going to be the submission count, a number will be added/deducted every time someone clicks "submit application"
10- He recommends filling most of the generic
11- The policy states you must pay ALL FEES upfront, including RPRF
12- Application guide is expected sometime next week, he mentioned it might even come out today
13- You can apply on implied status
14- IRCC is trying to process inland applications as fast as possible, however, it is extremely likely that the new streams won't be processed as fast as CEC (average processing, 6 months)
15- You might be able to apply with a confirmation of graduation if you still don't have the physical diploma
16- No idea on how long the stream will take to fill
17- Electronic results of IELTS will work (email or online portal), you don't need your physical IELTS report.
18- All IRCC wants right now, is to meet the immigration quota
19- It's completely OK to pay the application fee right now
20- Reference letter should be less than 30 days old, he recommends us not to wait until May 6th to request it


Course mentioned no less than 15 times in 1h. He's slowing down.

His videos have useful information no one else really talks about, the problem is that every 30 seconds he reminds you he has a course where people get information as soon as it’s released, and kinda “teases” you saying his students will be the most prepared, the first ones to apply...

That wouldn’t be as annoying if said course wasn’t $350 USD which for us is almost half the application fee.

Chatty lawyer had an important announcement yesterday about the forms needing to be printed, hand signed, and rescanned and uploaded. For all forms except the IMM008 I believe he mentioned.

[mikeymyke]

The annoying thing about the chatty lawyer is how he says people will have an edge over those who don't take his course, but the thing is, no one really knows the full details about applying for this program come May 6, and is the info you're getting worth $350? I dont think so. Also anyone who can read English should be able to fill the forms by themselves.

So that will be a disadvantage for those people who don't have access to a printer?

Must the forms be hand signed? Can digital signatures suffice?

We don't know, gotta wait for the application instructions whether they come out on Monday or on May 6th

I think offer is from the date when it was offered; you can't change it. Why would you? The reference letter confirms that yes, you are still on that job.

My wife will be including her contract, her future contract and a letter of reference.

Thank you
