Many many thanks Kubeir. Appreciate your time and effort! My CSQ application (Quebec) is in progress, i guess it may take a few months more to get approved. Meanwhile, my PGWP is expiring next month! 😟 I wish to extend my stay. What would you suggest? Thanks in advance 🙏
Hi Kubeir - during covid time I was in India and I was working full time and studying full time at the same time by doing online courses at night and was doing my work in the morning. So my question is: can i claim this experience and get points with this experience? Such type of foreign work experience while studying full time is allowed?
Hi Kubeir! Keep up the great work! 👍 Query: On the official CRS tool website it is stated that the foreign work experience must be in one occupation. I saw your video uploaded 5 years ago in which you mentioned that we can combine cumulative work experience from different NOCs in CRS. Is it still applicable in 2024 or has the policy changed? Or by one occupation do they mean the TEER of NOC, not the NOC itself?
It has not changed, but you can combine experience from different valid NOCs for CEC. For FSW atleast 1 year work experience must be continuous in the same noc

Hi, when submitting my profile Pre ITA in the employment section, I have stated my experience as a IT Analyst continuously from 2015 till 2018. My duties and responsibilities haven't changed but I have been promoted once and have got salary raise. Is it ok to write my tenure as one entry in the post ITA form or should I create multiple entries for the different levels I have held? Company has given me one experience letter with only the last title held for the whole tenure.
Hi Kubeir, I am currently doing masters from Waterloo and will be completed in December 2024 and I have 5 years experience in India as software developer. What should be better for me for PR, shall I go with OINP or express entry. Or should apply to both?

Hi Kubeir, I'm PR and have received PR card but after soft landing (for about a month) returned back to India. After returning to India I have renewed my passport(because it was about to expire), now do I need to Inform IRCC about this through webform before I travel back to Canada with my new passport?
No you dont need to inform, since you are already a PR now

Good morning. If I apply to PEI Expression of interest without a job offer and then I get an offer before invited, do I withdraw that profile and apply through skilled worker stream with LMIA job offer?
@AskKubeir Actually, I have already applied to PEI PNP Expression of interest because I do have a valid express entry profile. I have applied without a job offer, though, and score 62 on the points grid. What I am asking is if and when i get the job offer, do I have to withdraw that PEI profile and apply under skilled worker stream, or I can can just make the amendment in that profile ?

I have been a student here in Canada for the last years since 2022, and my student visa expires on the 31st of December 2024. Currently, I am on an applied status for PGWP and as a backup I applied for a visitor visa I have been approved because of a medical issue back home in India, And due to the issue, I need to travel to India on the basis of a visitor visa. However, I have been receiving multiple answers on whether if I can return back to Canada or not. So, my question is, if I go to India when I return to Canada, Will they deny my entry back to the country? And, in this situation what would you suggest?
PGWP expired on 3rd Nov 24, applied for WP EXT on 28th oct 24, made express entry profile on 10th nov 24, got ITA on 19th nov 24. I will submit the application soon. 1. When should I apply for BOWP after extension decision or before? Or should I add my PR application's AOR and LOE to my existing PGWP-EXT application to prevent refusal? 2.When PGWP EXT application is refused while my BOWP is still processing, will I be able to continue working during that time?

While applying for my Study Permit before coming to Canada I have included all my employment experience; However, when applying for PGWP within Canada, considering the lack of space in the employment history on imm 5710, I am not fully certain if I included all my work experience. Then again, when I applied for my TRV later, I included all the employment history, because by then I realized that I can include an additional page with employment history in the client information section. Now, I am 100 percent certain that my work experience in my EE profile aligns with my Study Permit Application and most recent TRV application, but I can't say that for sure about my PGWP application that was submitted in between the Study Permit and TRV application. I am planning to provide a LOE to request holistic review of my PR application considering all the information linked to my UCI, addressing the potential inconsistency between all my previous applications. Would this be a wise approach?
