February 2018 CEC Applicants

[asd1985]

you can check the approximate time of processing BOWP application on cic website, it is quite accurate..50-60 days

and do not forget to apply when your WP is still valid...

Thanks!
But any idea about how long a bwop generally is?

Any February applicant still waiting for ppr where everything is passed but theyre just stuck in security ?

I'm in the "we are reviewing if you meet the requirements" stage. Is it the same thing?

My file got rejected today. My WE expires 15th oct (in 10 days). I have applied for BOWP but that will get rejected soon as well, considering my EE file just got rejected.

Is there any way i can apply for a WE extension, even though my file has been rejected?
Thank you.

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a quick update on my case:

I've applied on Feb 6, 2018. My application got stuck after March 6, when they requested some additional docs.
I ordered my GCMS notes at the end of May, and there hasn't been any movement since then.
So on August 1, I decided to withdraw my application because of something I found out on my notes.

When I received my ITA, I was invited through CEC. The problem is: when I submitted my documents, 2 months of my experience were expired because they were older than 3 years. So instead of rejecting my application, IRCC decided to process my case as FSW instead of CEC (I never seen that happening before). I didn't have enough proof of funds, was pretty close to it though - so they forwarded that to a ~senior official to analyze that. And that's where it got stuck.

Fast forward to August, I withdrew my application and decided to apply again. On Aug 8, I received my new ITA and submitted everything again on Aug 15.

My advice to you all is: if you application is taking longer, request your GCMS notes - they ARE helpful.
Good luck, February fam. I'm restarting my journey.
And be patient like me. Soon we'll all be PRs

Dear alldrops,

I expect I will be in the same situation as you: I worked in Canada from October 30, 2012 until September 30, 2016. Then I was in another country for a 8-months job contract. When I applied for EE last month I met two categories: Federal Skilled Worker and Canadian Experience Class. In the end of September, I got my ITA under the CEC category, and since then I have been collecting all the documents and therefore I still have not submitted the application. Now, if we count my WE in Canada for the last 3 years, it is no longer 1 full year but 11 months (in November it will be 10 months, etc), as I ended my contract more than 2 years ago already. So, my question is - will I lose my CEC category and will be assessed under FSW category?

Thanks.

May I know the reason for your rejection?

May I know the reason for your rejection?

One of the 5 WE letters i had was missing the lead statement. It was from a major Canadian University. They rejected it based on that reason only.

Is that the same thing as filing that IIRC form? I filled that twice and both times, it said that your application is being processed and we will let you know if when a decision is reached. I had zero warnings otherwise i would have pulled out and re applied.
