WINTERFOX how are you holding up bro? any updates about you second application?

I dont understand their logic .. people are applying for CEC after being in the country for a few years and adjusting to society and then u go ahead and start express entry for brand new people whom never been here .. whom the govt doesnt know if they can adapt , if they will face any issues in canada , who have no clue of the canadian society and the people.
Just plain stupid ... but im more mad cos CIC cant hire more staff to make the processing go faster for honest hard working people who have slogging their asses of everyday to achieve their goals.

100% Agree with what is said above.
The applicants from within Canada are already integrated to the society...system...everything. Many of us are graduates of Canadian colleges and universities. Some bought cars and even condos...houses.
I agree that there are many good Candidates applying from outside of Canada. However, even if a candidate is an amazing engineer with 10 years of experience in say Turkey (no offense to anyone...just picked a first country on my mind), there is no guaranty that he/she will be able to easily integrate into Canadian society.

Where is a logic behind selecting those who might have never ever been to Canada over young professionals educated in Canada?

The only reason I can think of is to bring people to live to all these "not very popular" areas.. like Saskatoon and Manitoba.

CEC program is all about patience.....just sharing my friend experience
I & he came to Canada through LMO in 2013 & I applied under CEC (sep 2014) but he applied under express entry in the month of Feb 2015 & his process was very fast. Last week CIC took final decision & rejected his PR application since he was not having any offer letter beyond work permit date.
So CEC is good except time since it checks your experience during qualifying period not the future one.
Have patience & suggest you not to over look this forum sometimes it goes in negative way...

I assume your friend's work permit will be expired in 2016 as he came to Canada in 2013. Do you mean CIC requires a new offer letter starting from 2016? or his current contract will be ended before 2016, but he has not found new employer? Thanks

Yes, in Express entry you need to have some offer letter which confirms your future employment & it should be more than 6 months( Our guess since my friend was having 5 months left)
CIC doesn't want to increase unemployment in Canada ..it seems....
The worst part is You can't apply for Open work permit before 120 days & BOWP waiting....lots of permutation & combinations are in Express Entry...in CEC apply with all required documents & Chill....

Hello guys! I have a question. I understand that I can still apply for PR via CEC express entry even we I have a pending application using the CEC old system. I also understand that for better chances of being picked i need to have a job offer. Should this mean that I need to ask my employer for a job offer? What would be the validity of the offer? Assuming I have an open work permit for one year, will the validity of the offer sme as the open work permit? Please advise. Thanks!

if you have job offer with LMIA then you can gain 600 points, most of the people who has 1 year of CEC experience facing LMIA problems. you employer need to show that you hired through LMIA process.

Hi,

Sometimes Adobe reader is unable to open the file directly from the server. Try saving the file first on your local machine, and then try using adobe reader to open it.
