New Policy for International Students - April 12th, 2021

[rambag98]

There are some stamps in my passport that are not english. Do I have to translate them?

Also, if they ask for proof of presence in Canada what can we use? Is utility bills and credit card statement enough?

I don't think passport stamps need to be translated personally. and for your second question, yes those are enough.

Do I need to upload my expired (canceled) passport? The old passport has a TRV that is also expired. Or do I need to just submit my new passport? My new passport has been issued few days ago and doesn't have any stamps or TRV.

Privately, I wouldn't mind if things get slow on May 6th. My wife's language results will be on the 11-12 so we need to wait and hope it's still available. But I understand everyone's frustration.

I will have my celpip results back on 15th or 16th, so 3, 4 days after you guys will get them. Its so frustrating. I mean I think it will be such bullshit if this stream wont be opened at least for 2 weeks.

I hope so! I think it would be fair to remain open for at least until the end of the month. But who knows; if everyone and their uncle applies even if they're ineligible...

 

[Anya833]

We don't know! As per advice in this thread, it is useful to have a proof that you are actually working on May 6th.

Yes I will get that next week, I already talked to my employer, and I downloaded 4 of my recent pay slips.

I hope so too! If it would stay opened until end of month of May it would be amazing.

Hello,
Do we need to get ready the Proof of Income from our bank upon registering the system or it will be asked later on ?

 

[lumoxmaxima]

Very interesting .... for me, I think May 5 is ok.

I will get issued on May 6th. Is that a problem?

 

[SatNight]

I think it's better if it's issued on May 6th.

I don't think this program requires proof of funds. Your proof is your job, I suppose.

What kind of PCC for Canada do we need, just the classic one or RCMP? I've never given biometrics here in Canada.

Question about PCC & U.S. travels:

I've only lived in the US for more than 6 months after I turned 18. I moved to Canada mid-2019 and got a Police Certificate from the FBI in early 2020. Since then, I've been back and forth quite a bit, but never more than 6 months at a time.

I'm currently in the U.S. doing my UofT master's (on study permit) remotely. I am coming back to Canada on May 2nd and planning on applying for the international grad stream since I have a prior degree from Canada and will be working starting May 3rd. Today I went to the USPS Post Office to do fingerprints for a new FBI PCC report and the PCC Report came back literally 5 seconds after I left the post office. I wonder if I will need to request another one since I haven't even left the US yet. FYI, my current stay was NOT over 6 months, and I already have an older report from 2020.

In addition to that ^ I do have family and friends in the States, and traveling back and forth is just part of my life. I wonder if I do apply for this stream, should I stop traveling until I receive my PR? That could be half a year at least, and I am worried I to miss out on family holidays, my best friend's wedding, etc. *I am a student currently working so I will have a valid permit for travels (even during the pandemic).

Thanks in advance for letting me know what you think.

Okay, I will give this a stab.

The initial Police report that I had from my country of origin when I applied from there for a study permit was valid for 100 days, during which I submitted an application for SP. So in that sense I'd imagine your FBI PCC will remain valid if you leave the country or apply for the PR before it expires (if it expires like my country's).

You can go home as often as you like during the processing of the application - Although remember Canada wants you to be here when they receive and approve your application so you might want to be strategic about traveling after you have submitted the application.

Hello I have a question regarding TRF ielts
There is a mistake in spelling in my name
Do anyone know the procedure to correct it?

 

[Nahmed19]

When I applied for PNP I was asked for it, when I got an ITA I got asked for it (see attached, it's my personal EE checklist):

It might not be required, but there are forms that ask you if you have any National ID and if you say "no" when your country does issue them, that might be considered misrepresentation. IDK, maybe I'm overly cautious but I've heard so many stories about applications rejected for the most ridiculous reasons that I want to make sure my application is 100% dummy proof.

My national card expired last month and I have already applied to renew it. It will take at least one more month to get a new one. Should I wait to get my new national card or apply for the stream with the expired one ? Please advise

Is the national card required for everyone and is it my ID in my home country?
