Looks good to me. I'm just wondering about the work experience. What is "Authorized NOC 0,A,B work experience within QP: 08JUL2012 to 07JUL2013 AND 28APR2014 TO 27APR2015" and then you have 2 work experience

Overall I think its good. PPR is on the way. Congrats!

So the two dates you mentioned at first, those are the dates when I had my visas. When you look at each experience, there is an info when I worked there. They accept at least one year experience within last three years, so I had to put together both my work experiences to make one year within last three years.

Called them twice. The agent said my security screening is still in progress !!!!
The security screening for my application has been taking 4 months and half so far !!!
I know the wait is excrutiating..however, thats the nature of the security check..you never know how long it might take..my suggestion-since you have already meet all the other assessments, chill till you clear security..

Hopefully you wont have to wait that long..

I ordered for my GCMS notes today and captured the screen shot while applying. Thought of sharing here so that it may help someone. I ordered from outside of Canada using my friend's name and address, who is a PR of Canada. That is, I applied as though my friend is applying for me. Ofcourse, I had to upload the signed consent form. It costed me $5 to apply

This the link for online application
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp

and this the screenshot of the filled in application
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByOy3edKY2eyZXNWVUIwMDQ3X3M

Super helpful, Thank you!

Hi Folks,

I have pretty similar notes as melbourne, but i have couple of questions:

My work experience is from November 2013 till date, I had 3 jobs during this time

Nov 2013 to Feb 2014 - Job1
Feb 2014 to Sep 2014- Job2
Sep 2014- current job -Job3

work experience 1: work period feb 2014- sep 2014 (fulltime)
work experience 2: work period sep 2014 - jan 2016 (fulltime)

as per the notes the analyst has only selected 2 years of experience ? Is this the way it should be?

My Job 1 is not on the notes, and my aor is april, but as per work experience 2: they've only selected till Jan ?


My eligibility is recommend passed

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks,
James

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure, but I think for Canadian experience there is only an option 1 year or 2 and more, so maybe that's why they just mentioned two years.

Hi James

Im from the april thread as well..Melbourne is correct..whether your Canadian experience is continuous or not doesn't matter...you get points for full years completed so probably they didn't include it..

they did not include a lot of my experience foreign and Canadian as well...as long as eligibility is passed...you are good!
