i think IMEs need to be recent. your health can change right? im not sure but thats my understanding.

They did said in the Guide that "It does not matter how long ago you had your exam". So I think it would be fine

Anybody here needed to separate their fee into two payments? My bank account messed up and I paid 650 (biometric + processing fee) the first time, and 500 (right to PR) the second time. I included both fee receipts in my proof of payment. Would it be a bad thing to do so?

I think it is ok. Opsss why $1150 ? (should be $1135)

Now that the streams have been open for a bit, it’d be nice if IRCC updated the processing times page

Oh I made a typo, yeah I paid $1135 (1st payment $635 and 2nd payment $500)

This is one of the main problems with this TR PR pathway program. Talk about desperate and stealing a spot from eligible people.

I wouldn't say these people 'stole a spot'. Given the timeline, short notice, and vagueness of some instructions, it's very easy to realize mistakes that were made after the fact.

The people who you can say stole spots are the ones who did multiple applications because of mistakes or applied despite their inegibility 'just in case'

It's going to be a lot faster and more efficient for IRCC to reject applications with mistakes and incomplete documents (outside of the leeways related to covid), instead of following up with applicants--it's what they've always done.

This is an unprecedented thing. Just like the entire 75p draw for CEC. The difference is, there’s no guidelines for this.

I totally don't get why they decided to release document check list just under 1 day before launching while they already announced this program more than 3 weeks ago.

I understand those were unprecedented. I was referring to the way they've always processed applications--PR, TRV, study permit, citizenship, etc.

Because it was a way to filter applicants. Those ready to apply would already have all the documents and those not ready would apply few weeks later. But they forgot that a lot of applicants are desperate (which is understandable in some cases) and applied even if they are not ready or even not eligible at all.

People submitted their passport stamps or plane tickets.

Proof of entry and status in Canada, mandatory

What do we upload here

The guide says most recent visa for proof of status. What about proof of entry? Any thoughts?

The guide says most recent visa for proof of status. What about proof of entry?
