Pakistani Applicants for Express Entry, Let's Network Here

[smhamza]

I am filling my work experience in express entry profile. I came across above.

None of my employments has explicitly mentioned number of hours to me but all my jobs were full time commitments and I would work for very long hours.

I am putting 40 hours per week (6 hours * 5 working day).

Should that be okay?

Currently finished TB treatment. Do you think my application will be processed side by side or the process only starts after my medical is cleared/

Hi.

I am in pool now of Express Entry.

Just a questions:

Once I do get ITA and everything goes good and I eventually get visa...what then?

I mean I go to Canada.

But at that point in time I may want to spend minimum time in Canada due to some family commitments back home.

So what is minimum amount of time that I may be required to spend in Canada or minimum other details of criteria that I need to meet....to maintain my status of immigrant/permanent resident/etc?

You can land and come back.
To maintain your PR status you need to stay for at least 2 years in 5 years time

Just a questions:

If I get job offer from Canada and also get 200 marks for that.

These days 450+ is a good score to expect ita

I never came across any such thing as leaving job after pr can cause revocation of pr

How soon do you think I should expect an ITA?

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to know that is it true that most of the applications from Pakistan are processed in more than 6 months as I have heard that now almost all the applications from Pakistan take at least 8 to 12 months till the final decision comes? Anyone here who got the final decision after 6 months?

Please please reply.
Thanks.

Has anyone got more information on this? I'm nearing the 6 month mark in a few days and it doesn't sound too hopeful. I've received no ghost updates (that I know of) or any other form of communication after the biometrics submission confirmation
