Hi all,
I have submitted my docs on Sep 5th after receiving ITA. Still my page says, review in progress for eligibility review and medicals passed. Any idea how long it generally takes for processing each step of the profile?
Thanks very much in advance

Hi guys,

I am planning to register in the EE pool. For that reason, I have been asked to have ECA report.

I am holding master degree, and my question is, Do I need to send the transcript of my Bachelor degree sealed and enveloped exactly like the master transcript directly from my institution?

I tried to call the organizations like WES, but as you know it is holiday and no one is answering the phone.

Thanks

If your Masters degree is assessed equivalent to Canadian Masters , then you do not need to asses your bachelor's. If not, then it good to have your Bachelor's assessed as well for claiming points towards Two or more degree.

If you assess your Masters using the WES self assessment tool, then you'll have an idea of how your results might turn out. Than you can act accordingly.

How long will it take to reflect the updated score after adding new IELTS score?

At the most 24 hours

Total is 6 months. Currently they are processing July and August applicants. September applicants will be processed between February and March. All the other steps may or may not start but if everything is fine, you'll directly get passport request

Dear Members Plz help

I have received invitation due to nomination this December, i have a total of 950 points, the letter of invitation i received contains points grid which include spouse level of education for 8 points .

I don't want to claim spouse level of education points anymore because i have enough points now (recalculated my point using CRS-tool), although i don't ECA for spouse education.At the beginning of creating EE profile i thought to include it as i was not sure what will be the cutt off score or may be i will be needing it in future to gain some points and will get ECA by time its required . I am also not sure/confused/remember how i got spouse level of education points as i never included ECA , spouse bachelor is from Pakistan while master is from UK.

Now my question is ,As spouse level of education points is included in my points grid , is it mandatory to claim spouse 8 points and to provide ECA for spouse level of education or i can leave it as i don't want to claim it ?.

Plz Suggest what should i do ? . :'(

Thanks for the step by step guide. Now are you saying that we need to pay the application fee and permanent residence fee BEFORE we get an invitation to apply? Does it mean that we might or might not even get an invitation but we have to pay the fees nonetheless?

No, you pay after ITA. And there are two fees - one you have to pay immediately when you submit your application after ITA, and the other you may pay at the same time or later (when you get PR).

Thank you! This is all very interesting and new to me.

I also completed my university studies in the US (but I am not a US citizen), I have a Bachelor's Degree. Does that need to go through Education Credential Assessment? I thought an American degree is up to par with a Canadian one. Would they need to "convert" my degree nonetheless?

 

[Duskyblue]

Yes, you need is assessed. Only Canadian degrees are accepted without an assessment.

Hi All,

I switched job after submitting the PR application. Do I need to inform CIC about that?

 

[mvmkr]

Regarding the job, I am an entrepreneur and I've been self-employed since 2011. Since I need to provide letters from the HR or the director of the company, how could I do this in my case? I am the director of my company. Has anyone had a similar situation?
