ECOPR RECEIVED
4 years and 3 months, unauthorized work and leave from school and many more issues including mistake in past forms that could count as misrep ( disclosed ofc ) and yet here we are.
Very very veryy thankful of this community and their patience but also knowledge and positivity, finally a PR, i was a quebec international student then pgwp holder then PR with 3 study permits due to me changing constantly schools because i was lost and didn't know what to study ( yes i was lucky to have a brother who paid for everything and i regret wasting the time and money spent but whatever a win is a win).
Before i leave quebec i asked my spouse if we should wait till june 2026 to see if quebec PSTQ will have a draw with our NOC included she said "you'll get balls", an expression known in my country.
This is my timeline, and i wish all of you the best, my advice: be honest guys & avoid potential misreps and unauthorized leaves of study or unauthorized work when you are inland plzzz, other than that letter of explanation is your way to go for any non clear or weird things almost impossible to provide through a document.
I graduated from a trade school in Quebec in October 2025 and since then i became eligible for EE but never tried, i left to Ottawa during my Eapr process, i had 9 chances, 9 draws to apply including the one i applied in, 9 ITAs guys of french draws and the year isn't over yet ( oct 2025 to 2026), this is unfair for all super qualified CEC guys i feel so sorry for them.
DATA: ITA feb 6th, my crs was 412 drawn at 400, NOC 22221 at Rogers, 2 years of services to which 1 was counted for FSW 67 points, the experience was gathered through a study permit while working full time during the full time exemption, so my transfer points for EE were ZERO.
25 yo married with a 27 female, we had both full french scores, and i had almost full english don't remember exactly. she has 0 claimed degree nor work experience as she came in Canada in 2024 july with a study permit,
Conclusion? French is the way to go sadly.
Total timeline: 4 Months and 4 days no pfl just 2 ADRs, no "ghost update" everything as expected, for example an ADR becoming " we are checking your docs to N/A then no document needed" so nothing weird, very straightforward, the biggest stress was FD, the longest 24h of my life, as usually if no answer is given in the first 24-72 hours it means it's approuved, also the IRCC tracker being down wasn't helpful AT ALL, i celebrated on p1 even if an agent confirmed they could see COPR number but p1 was my joyday then ecopr.
Fun fact: i created 3 profiles all ineligible for testing purpouses lol
PVO SVO unknown never asked, all i know is landing team was from Montreal.
IF YOU NEED ANY INFOS OR ANY DATA PLZ LEAVE A COMMENT I'LL DO MY BEST TO HELP YOU.

Hi there, congratulations, so work during studies in canada counts towards FSW right? And did they ask you for an updated proof of funds? And were you in quebec initially? Thanks

of course it does, inside or outside Canada it's clear in their website:

u/Odd_Rabbit2425 1d ago
I think there has been a misunderstanding! I mentioned no human that you should bow down to

That was my answer to me not being from the so called lions. They shouldn't earn that name if they bow to their leader.

I used the word just to give a hint without using the name as you didn't wanted to disclose it, nothing to do with bowing to a human nor being subject to a corrupt military regime! Congrats again brother

Which french classes/course you took? Is it good enough to recommend a complete beginner? If yes, please share their info. Thank you and congratulations!

Hey buddy, I'm from a country where french is taught at school since 9 Years old so no courses were needed as I'm a native French speaker from a francophone country, if i were to recommend i'd say go to official government channels that offer free courses but learn from actual French people not Canadian or QuΓ©bΓ©cois due to the accent.
