Do you have the tech briefing notes? Just wondering if there's anything else that was added.
New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021
- Thread starter Mari_Anne17
- Start date
you have to know how the official transcript work for PWGP, basically anyone who applied on an interim official transcript is on their own luck. what IRCC requires is the official final transcript and that many people don't have already.
Yes, some fall grad may also haven't received their credential, but remember this policy goes back to 2017 or otherwise, they are opening it until Nov 2021.
I am pretty sure, a very good portion of fall grads already have the credentials and they really don't matter, people grad in 2018 could alone fill in the 40,000 let alone many CEC FSW inland applicants they are submitting as well.
We don't know yet for sure. Some people say that it won't be required upfront, but you should at least try to get one as soon as you can
In the payment link, when i see the version towards the bottom left of the page, it says Date: 2021-04-13 10:15.
The news release for this new program on Canada.ca is dated April 14, 2021 10:10
Now my take on this whole thing is that everything about the program had been prepared and finalized as evident from the date and time stamp on the payment link version page well before even the news release of the program on Canada.ca. and i presume even the portal and forms and things to do with this is all set. Of all the things, what we can see till now is the payment link.
Btw, did this link come up in chatty lawyer's stream and thats how everyone discovered?
Also if this new program application is fully electronic, then why would they want us to pay for it through a separate link which is usually for mailing type applications and not after uploading all documents (just like express entry- as the link to payment wont be active unless we upload all the required documents).

SatNight have you guys already payed this fee? I'm a bit reluctant, because I'm afraid if the stream's going to close up in a week or so I'm not getting my money back.
No. We are waiting to see how things are going around my wife's language test day. Or maybe a day or so later. It might be a bad tactic but if the spots fill up in 2 days I'd be happy to keep that money atm.
I personally paid upfront because I'm confident I can apply as soon as the stream opens and I don't trust IRCC's website so much...Last week the payment portal was down for a couple days, it'd really suck to be ready to apply but having the website crash like I'm expecting it'll happen.
