Sorry to hear about your rejection, but was your work experience in Canada or outside Canada?

outside Canada. During my graduate study. do they count vacation pays after last day worked as working days? I have pay slips to support my vacation pay.

Hi Friends,
I have a doubt while filling the post forms, In the Personal History section; we have to fill the details for the last ten years.

In the last Ten years for two years while I was working at the same time I have done MBA from IGNOU Open University parallel (Because it is Open University we can study while working). I got ECA done for this Masters degree.

For Example from April 2009 to Feb 2012 I am working in a company and I have done my Masters parallel from Open University for MBA from Sept 2009 to Dec 2011.

While entering the Personal History section we have to enter both work and MBA for same years, is this will be conflict years for immigration officer to understand?

How to rectify this issue?

It won't conflict if you attach an LoE with it. also the work experience will be counted as it is outside Canada.

This is what I found on the cic website. Sharing it here so some air around it can be cleared.

Who needs a police certificate?

In general, you and all the people in your family who are 18 or older need to get a police certificate.

You may need a police certificate from any country or territory that you have spent six months or more since the age of 18.

For example: if you visited, worked or lived in a country for two months, left for a few years, then returned for four months, that counts as spending six months there. In this case, you would need a certificate.

If you need a police certificate from a country or territory and:
are currently living there, or received the police certificate before leaving, the police certificate must be issued within six months before you apply.
have lived there in the past,
the police certificate must be issued after you last lived in that country or territory.

Hi,

Does this mean that a Police certificate from a country you no longer live in has no validity period?
E.g - I left the UK 7 years ago, is it wise to get the UK Police certificate now, even though I don't have an ITA yet?

regards

You can get it now as long as you're not planning to go back to the UK before submitting your eAPR.

You can get it now as long as you're not planning to go back to the UK before submitting your eAPR.

Even if I go as a visitor, for less than 6 months?

 

[DelPiero07]

Even if I go as a visitor, for less than 6 months?

Yes, even so. If you're planning on going back then do not get it now.

 

[TanakaM]

Yes, even so. If you're planning on going back then do not get it now.

Great,

Thanks for the advice.

You should only mention jobs that you have work experience in. You do NOT have to meet the "employment requirements" listed under the NOC on the NOC website. Your roles and responsibilities at work should match the ones outlined under the NOC you choose.

Thanks for your advise. I decided to change my NOC to match my current job scope and withdrew my profile and created new EE profile. In job bank updated the EE profile number and job seeker validation code. But EE profile hasn't updated it and states "Pending" under Job bank registration.
Application/profile status states "Pending Additional Criteria"
and CRS fields are all blank

I guess Ill just wait

Congrats to everyone who received ITA

How do you guys go about Proof of Means of Financial Support?

Has anyone just uploaded bank statements only similar to OINP(signed and stamped) and got PR fine afterwards?

Does anyone have a sample letter one can use for PROOF OF FUNDS?

Hi,

I requested my college to send me the transcripts so that i can forward it to WES. As per my college's procedure, I mailed them self attested photocopies of my transcript and semester marksheets for their verification. But in return, they did not issue me a fresh transcript. The registrar attested the copies of transcripts & marksheets that i sent to the college, and sent them back to me in a duly sealed envelope.

I wanted to know if I need fresh transcripts form my college or whether attested photocopies will serve the purpose of ECA from WES.

P.S. The photocopies also bear my self attestation.

I will really appreciate any advice from the members of this forum.

Thanks,
Devasish Sharma
