Hi leavingonjetplane - did they ask you for photo updates for your PR card? If so, did you have to mail that photos in or to drop them in an office?
Hope you are doing fine man.

No, they didn't ask me for photo updates. They used the same photo I submitted with my application.

Anyone applied from India? Have you received an AOR from both the Canada and the New Delhi offices? Or just one?

I have received AOR and Biomatrics Letter from Canada on same day 13/06/2019. Where are you from India?

Friends, what do we put on Current Occupation and Intended Occupation questions within IMM0008 form if i have day job + being Self Employed?

Since this is for Self Employed, is it right to put Current Occupation as my actual daily job and
Intended Occupation as Writer for example?

Thanks

No you do not need to have been self employed to qualify for this stream. I should know. I immigrated using this very stream despite not having been self employed even for one day. The requirement for people without self employed experience is that you need "2 one-year periods participating at a world-class level in cultural activities". That's directly from IRCC list of requirements here.

That said I struggle to think how a librarian can provide proof of being 'world class level'. I guess karenn1617 will have to think deeply how they can convince IRCC. Or someone who has immigrated as a librarian may be able to chip in.

Not sure why I can't get messages. I've looked at the settings and looks fine to me but replied to your email already.

Haven't received the email yet..not sure why.

Would you please clarify few points for my understanding:
1. Did you submit 2 police clearances from the currently you reside and your home country as well? Or is it enough to submit the country you stayed longer? Because they mentioned if stayed above 6 months after 18 then police Certificate would be needed.

2. In form 0008; should the existing occupation and intended occupation fields be referred to the applicant main day job ? I think they expect the intended occupation to be one of the occupations qualified for self employment like Writer, designer, translator..etc ... isn't it?

3. Should the applicant pay upfront the fees and enclose the invoice or just wait until they ask for it?

Sorry for the long post.. just getting myself familiar with the lengthy forms and process.

Many thanks

Hi,
A person who is working as a LIBRARIAN can be applied under the Self Employed Persons category as technically a LIBRARIAN can't work as self-employed.
Please guide.
Thanks.

Do you have a Canadian related business?
Have you conducted a business visit?
Can you elaborate on your individual application conditions?

Hello

A question for those who have submitted their application already:

How was your paper based application documents packaged? Loose papers in an envelope? Stapled together in sections? In a binder or flip file?

I don't think it's a good idea to staple them. In fact, the instructions clearly say not to staple them or bind them in any manner whatsoever. I understand that this may cause some inconvenience and/or anxiety - it certainly did for me. I still went ahead and stacked up the unbound sheets in the specified order, inserted them in an envelope, shot a quick prayer to the heavens that the stack somehow doesn't get messed up later in the process, and sent it to the Immigration office, with the temperament of an anxious parent who lets go of his or her child on the first day of school.

The reason they ask not to staple or bind the sheets is because international mail goes through a series of security checks and scans at various points, and anything metallic in the envelope will set the scanners beeping.
