No need to decline your ITA, if you submit your application post you actually complete the 12th month taking your experience to 5 complete years. As for the coming birthday on 25th Feb, once you get your ITA and before your actual application submission the officer will apply the public policy to exempt you from your recalculated score to be reduced by 5 points.

Another question I have...for employment records how many employers is it looking for? I've had some odd jobs in the last few years as I was changing graduate schools (so the summer jobs were changing every year)...will I need an employment record from EVERY job? or Just the work as it relates to my NOC code?

Hi all, Please Would anyone know which exchange rate resource IRCC will refer to for POF? For example there are multiple exchange rates in some countries depending on the source.

Hi All,

Please help,

I am not sure if this was discussed before. Can I consider my teaching assistant while enrolled as a full time student as a part time job ?

Only if it's done outside Canada.

Hi,
Under employment history you only need to list the ones you are claiming points for (these will all need a reference letter). You must list the rest under personal history.

All the best

Hi,

Well I don't think there is any information on this. To be safe just give yourself a 500-1000 CAD leeway. I doubt exchange rates will affect you if you do this.

All the best

Thanks a lot. Could you please share the resource for that. I tried to find it, but I could not find anything.

Thanks TanakaM,

Trust me, the exchange rate Variance in my country is quite significant; between N315 to $1 at the bank (which is almost impossible to get) to N510 to $1 in the black market. This significant difference is above $1,000 for the amount of funds am required to show. Do you think we'll be ok quoting the. Favourable exchange rate?

This is an interesting case and im not sure how best to handle it. Perhaps one of the senior guys will have an answer. However, i would get my bank letter on a favourable day and also ask for a forex quote then include it in my LOE.
