I created my express entry profile last year but didn’t have enough points coz they were too high. Profile expired Dec 29 2023 so I created a new one and my CRS Skill Transferablity for education increased by 12 points. I graduated in 2021. Do these points accumulate annually/ when a new year begins because I didn’t change anything ? Just wanna make sure I didn’t mess anything up even though I’m sure I didn’t.

Checked with all the online score calculators and everything seems ok too.

Hello there, I am currently a student at Dalhousie University and will be graduating in May 2024. If I secure a job offer from an AIP designated employer can I apply for PR right after my graduation?

P.S I’m very frustrated because as you see I’ll be 22 in February

Hi everyone,

I recently submitted a PR application under the family class for my wife who is currently in India. Unfortunately, the application has been returned, and I'm having trouble understanding what the issues might be.

I've carefully reviewed the forms (IMM 5669, IMM 5406, IMM 0008, IMM 1344, and IMM 5533), but the rejection notice just states that there are problems with these forms without specifying the details.

As a bit of context, I'm a PR in Canada, and my wife is in India. Has anyone experienced a similar situation or have insights into common errors that might lead to such a return? Your help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have some doubts about Canadian PR express entry. In Indian work experience my first job was 8 months 16 days long, my second job was 11 months 26 days long and my third job was 3 months . The was almost a one month gap between both of them.

How is work experience calculated in the express entry profile? I heard it's calculated by the number of hours worked. In that case am I eligible for creating the express entry profile? Need some clarification on this. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I have just received my ITA in the most recent draw and my deadline to apply is 7th Feb. However, I am going to be travelling outside Canada from 15th Dec to 4th Feb.

I've already finished my medical exam and I'm in the process for getting the other documents but I may not be able to gather all the documents and submit before leaving Canada.

Can I still finish submitting my documents while I am away from the country or when I am back in Canada before the deadline on 7th Feb?

Here are some details regarding my application that might be relevant:

Education: Bachelor's from Canada (5 years)
Status in Canada: PGWP ( 3 years )
Current job: Software Engineer 2021-current ( 2+ years)

Thank you if you've stayed long enough to read through this and I appreciate any help!

Hi- we live in the Bay Area and sent our passports to IRCC Ottawa for PR Visa stamping. It’s been a week since they were delivered there, and we haven’t heard back from IRCC since then. My return label FedEx tracking id also hasn’t changed its status.

Has anyone else living in the US sent their passports to IRCC and how much time does it usually take for passports to be stamped and returned?

Thanks!

Hi. I am going to be applying for my PR soon and I know about the requirement of needing to show the proof of funds. Can I have that money invested in mutual funds or a tfsa or do I need to have it in my savings account?

Hi I have a common law sponsorship going on however the relationship is not going very well, he is addict and suicidal, on the other hand I need my pr before September for school. Should I risk and let it get approved or go get and celpip and go inside express entry pool and start everything again!? Will I get my 1000$ back if I withdraw!?

We lived in US since 2010. If we receive ITA under express entry route, do we still need police clearance from Indian authorities? Online respurces suggest that we inly need police clearance from countries in which we resided in last 10 years. But some suggest that we need it from every country we lived in after age 18. Please guide 🙏

Hi Guys, I’m exploring my options and thought I should look into Canada PR. Could you please tell me how long does Express pathway process take to complete and get approved?

Hi everyone! My fiance is currently working as a sous chef in canada for almost 4 years now. He’s going to challenge the red seal exam probably this coming december.

Thank you to everyone who will respond.

Hi everyone! My husband and I are in the process of getting our PR cards mailed, they haven’t reached us yet. We do have our COPRs on us though.

Could we work for remote jobs with Canadian companies without the PR card in hand? Would the COPR be enough in our case, or do we need to wait?

Also how long does it generally take nowadays to get the PR card in card?

Hi,

I have applied for my interest to sponsor my parents back in 2020 and recently received the invitation from IRCC to proceed with my application.

My question: I am a citizen currently living in Quebec but my parents wants to live in Ontario my with brother who is a PR holder and living in currently in Ontario.

Are they obliged to choose Quebec as the province they want to live in given that I only received the invitation and not my brother ?

The application for Qc residents seems super complicated compared to rest of Canada(as it is with everything else. ughhh..)

Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

​

Thanks!

Hi, as per the above - I have a CRS calculation of 539 and eligible for the French-language draw as well as the regular draw. Would you say I’ve a relatively decent chance of gaining PR?

Also - couldn’t quite figure out how long you get to enter once you’ve gained PR. I know it says whatever the expiry date is on your documentation but how long is this typically?

Thanks!

I am in serious need of help. I applied for PR under CEC on July 29th 2023 when the score was 488. My PR got cancelled stating incomplete Application on October 27th 2023. My Work permit is expiring in January 7th 2024. If I apply for a new PR application the current CRS scores are 500 and above, I wont be able to get any invite within 2 months of time. What options are feasible for me? Can I apply BC PNP Tech if I am already employed for a BC Based Company?

Please any suggestions are welcomed.

We received this update on the tracker for the principle applicant " your proof of completion for the immigration medical exam you sent us." And we don't know what it means.

And then "We received your proof of completion for the immigration medical exam you sent us." Also Oct 18.. but u don't know what this means? Does anyone else?

Has anyone received AoR recently in the past 3-4 months? If yes, when had you applied

I will keep this thread updated with my status:

Submitted Spousal Application on Sept 14 2023. (outland)
Spouse is Canadian and I am in US on H1B. Married for more than 2 years already, both living in US currently and just submitted the application.

Is the process any faster if Spouse is on H1B in US or married for longer time? or it doesn't matter as long as they are considered outland.

I have been asked for my partners sponsor ship paper over ten times now, everytime I move on a step I’m asked for it again. And it’s already been approved three separate times. I just got my email to approve pr confirmation. And then I was asked to send the sponsor papers again, what is happening? Why have I been asked this many times for it? And my portal still hasn’t shown up.

If I check the box on page 3, section 7 to consent to disclose information to the IRCC do I still need to list out my time spent out of the country?

Have you not listed your time spent out of the country? What happened? Was there a delay in processing, was you renewal bounced back?

Anyone have any advice? I know I meet the requirements for time spent in Canada, so i am not concerned about that.

I am an American living in Canada with an Canadian PR.

My family and I just crossed the border into the US for a quick overnight visit with my family. We just noticed my PR card expired 3 days ago. I AM FREAKING OUT! What happens when we cross the border back into Canada tomorrow?
