New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

[Tomican]

Hi guys,
How about payment ? They did not say anything to those who paid last week :-(

 

[Frisk]

Can anyone answer this question: are they requiring identity and civil status document such as national ID?? Since EE doesn’t require it I don’t know why they would require it. The guide wasn’t clear on this either

EE does require national ID if you have one, and it must be translated and notarized. Other paper-based programs require it as well.

One of the first questions on imm0008 is “do you have any National ID”? In EE, if you claim to have X work experience they ask you to prove it. Why would this be any different?

if i don't have any dependent or partner, need I supply the national ID AND family registry book? can I use a birth certificate instead?

Sorry if this is a repost, as I don't want to go through hundreds of posts, but does everyone know about this already?

Ok, so are PCC required at the time of application? They say we can also provide proof that we applied for PCC, but it seems they are only making exceptions for those affected by Covid-19 measures. Getting a PCC from my country takes 1.5 months - there was no time to get them.

Hey guys, I'm filling out imm0008 and having trouble with the duration of being in my current country (Canada). I don't know if I should fill from the date I came to Canada or the date which I received my PGWP. Do you have any idea? Thanks!!!!

it is nothing but a gamble. once submitted, your money and immigration record are on their hand. you could lose money and get a refusal record on file.

Does a foreign employer work? If I work for a professor as a researcher overseas, but I am located in Canada? - is it fine? The application guide do not look very clear about that.

I am working in a company in the US and start a Canadian job this week. It says online "you need to prove that you are currently employed in Canada". I think the point of the program is to improve the Canadian economy so I read this as stating you need to be working for a company that is inside the borders of Canada. I'll be happy to be wrong but that's how I read it.

2. Proof of Current Employment in Canada

When you apply, you will need to prove that you are currently employed in Canada.

You must submit the following as proof:

• A copy of your work permit(s) in Canada (if applicable), and

My supervisor provide me with a employment letter today, but to get the company letter head, I need to contact HR department which will take weeks... looking at the requirement, it seems letterhead is not required. How do you guys get letterhead? I have paystub, T4, NOA to prove I am working currently. Thank you.

Well, I hope that a refusal because of incompleteness is not treated the same as refusal for other stuff.


Would we have an opportunity to add documents later?

Ok, national IDs all have to be translated by a professional and notarized?

It's crazy they ask for this and tell us the day before the applications are submitted. I think our only option is to write in the letter of explanation that you will get it translated now.

Guys, I’m in front of a photo studio and there’s like 10 people queueing outside. It’s not even a busy area...
