KenIchiban:
Good day everyone. I want someone to please help me clarify, after Biometrics/Medicals, what are the next stages in the PR process?

Ontarioo:
You wait for further ADR; if any or visa approval/denial

ADR= Additional Documents Request

KenIchiban:
And if there’s no ADR request and visa is approved then what next ?

MY TIMELINE

Years ago I heard about Canada Pr but I didn't make a move until 2021 when I applied to WES for my Masters Degree in Architecture. Wrote my first Ielts and had 6.5 in writing then wrote the second and entered the pool.................no Ita.... moved on.....Ielts expired.
Reluctantly wrote another Ielts end of 2023 and entered the pool again, this time using the Trade CBD Noc code instead of Stem as I was performing both function and then Boom I got Ita.

pcachuks:
Please do you require trade certificate for this category ? And can you shRe what NOC CODe you used ?

GraciousWords:
100%...........just compare 2018 to now, % increase in the 461-600 bucket is in the thousands.

Looks like COVID-era CEC draws also led to student numbers rising, now former students with PGWPs are flooding the pool.

My advice to anyone whose NOC is not in demand would be to bite the bullet & learn French (additional CRS points wise and money wise) - not easy at all but it's the most rationale choice now if you look at the options coldly.

With French you'll still be ahead in 2 years time than someone who went to Canada as a student and completed a 1/2 yr degree and has 1 year Canadian work experience (CRS grid facts) and will spend far far far less money, especially now that the Student POF (excluding tuition & travel fees) is doubling from Jan 2024 and PGWP extensions are ending soon.

Alternative is to pivot careers and get a job in an in-demand NOCs even if only for a year (for PNP and FSW CBDs)

There's always the chance of a miracle but prepare like there's none on the horizon. Stay hopeful, pray that the odds will favour you more often than not, but please do the needful.

All the best guys!

Hello everyone,
Please I really need help
I’m trying to create my express entry profile and I’m experiencing some confusion.
I worked as an admin assistant for two employers and the total is about 2.5 years
I was also a caregiver for a period of 1.5 years
The problem is that I got to this part of the express entry profile creation.
In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have? It must have been continuous, paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation.
(required)
What should be my response here?
They said “only one occupation” but I’m supposed to use two noc codes
Please how do I go about this?
Please

Ontarioo:
In the last 10yrs, pick one out of the two to use as primary NOC. In all, you have 4yrs experience

smut:
Hello, my family (me , wife and a child of 3years) just got a second invitation to apply after our first application was rejected because we could not provide one of the employers references letter in which we claimed point.
While we were submitting this new application, IRCC included a biometric fee payment for just one person.Meanwhile, we already did biometric last year September 2024, myself and my wife.
Is it normal that IRCC added a one person biometric fee to the total application fee we are asked to pay ? Thanks in advance

NuCypher:
I remember you from the French thread. Good job! Well deserved.

Stunningsail:
Guys please I’m stuck here
What should be the answer here?

I have 1.5 years of experience in healthcare and 2.5 years in administration

I’m confused about the number of years to pick because my work experience is in two noc codes…not one occupation

Stunningsail:
Okay so for this part of the express entry creation, I should put the total number of all my experience?
Not the number for one occupation?

I was confused because of the “only one occupation”
