At 450 since Jan 30.. don’t know when this wait will end :(
I’m with you...450 since March 28. If only they had a general draw yesterday and the trades draw next week, I believe you would have made it, and perhaps me as well. As it stands now, the next cut off would be way beyond our reach. So disheartening.

This is talking about biometrics I guess?.. biometrics is compulsory for all applicants ... you can keep 10-fingered biometrics for up to 10 years during a temporary stay BUT you must do another for a permanent residence application!... even if you just did one a day ago.
i think its written "you need to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics) ". but yes not upfront . you are right :)

I thought inland based are not required to do the RCMP fingerprints unless requested during cic processing.
They request in most cases and if they do your processing time will go up.

I don't think I can do that... see the bottom line:

Your experience must be at least:

  • One year of full-time work
    • 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours), or
  • equal amount in part-time hours, such as:
    • 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
    • 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
For part-time work, you can work more or less than 15 hours/week as long as it adds up to 1,560 hours.

We don’t count any hours you work above 30 hours/week.
Your work permit expires in August. You work till last day and than add 1 year experience in your profile and you will get ITA in September. By the time you apply you will be fine. When you submitting documents you just don’t have last month pay-stuff but that will be fine.

Ya you don’t need to submit it upfront but when they ask you you have to and after that once you will submit it, automatically increase your processing time. I submitted upfront and one of my friend didn’t and we both submitted file on same date I got PPR in 2 months his application took almost 4 months

Yea that's why most of the people submit upfront even if its not asked. The person who was replying to my answer was saying opposite. I have it done. I will submit for sure. Nothing wrong.
Kindly share your processing

Yea of course. Listening and speaking increases the more points. Try to check your crs score with your increased bands that you think you can get. For sure in second attempt you can score better.

But if she is primary applicant then your bands will make a little difference not So much. But stil it matters.
