( the dimensions mentioned by ircc is 715x1000) but matches all other requirements I made the mistake of uploading the photo the studio gave me without cross checking whether they had complied with these requirements. Should I try to submit the photo with correct dimensions through the web form or wait f”

“Hi everyone, I’m looking for opinions from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation for Express Entry/CEC. I previously worked in India with the job title “Contact Support Associate.” Although the title sounds more customer-service oriented, a significant part of my actual duties involved technical support. I claimed this experience under NOC 22221 – User Support Technicians . My concern is that my former company was Webhelp India, which was acquired by Concentrix in 2023 . The old Webhelp”

“I’m a bit confused about the correct timing for creating my Express Entry profile under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Here’s my situation: I started my full-time Industrial Engineer job on September 23, 2025 . On August 23, 2026 , I’ll have completed 11 months of full-time Canadian work experience. On September 23, 2026 , I’ll complete 12 full months , which makes me eligible for CEC and gives me a CRS score of 536 . My questions are: Is it better to create my Express Entry profile after”

“I’m currently in the Express Entry pool under CEC and have a question about claiming foreign work experience. I came to Canada as an international student in January 2022. Before coming, I had 2.5 years of skilled foreign work experience, which I disclosed in my initial study permit application. About one month after arriving in Canada, I reached an agreement with my employer to start working remotely for the same company, performing the same duties on a full-time basis. I continued working remo”

“Hi everyone, hoping for some genuine advice from people who’ve navigated this recently. My profile: IT/cybersecurity field, 9+ years experience, MS in Cybersecurity, IELTS CLB 9+. I have a brother who is a PR holder in Ontario. In 2024 an immigration firm entered my Express Entry profile into the pool and promised to monitor it for PNP opportunities. Nothing came of it. They seemed to only be watching for STEM draws which stopped after April 2024 and never explored other pathways. Case was event”

“Working through the CRS math for a fairly common profile and want to sanity-check what's realistic against what people actually did.

“I applied for a replacement PGWP (IMM 5009) about a month ago because my original PGWP was approved but never arrived in the mail. After mailing the application, I realized I made a mistake in the address fields on the IMM 5009 form. For example, if my address were: 25 Hobart Drive North York, ON M2J 3J5 Canada I accidentally entered the house number (25) in the P.O. Box field instead of the Street no. field under the Current Mailing Address section. Then, in the Residential Address section (sam”

“Ah my apologies then, I thought it finally got to the judge to start the process of requesting information of ircc. Imagine that the judge has it in his pocket then from June 29th, to make their final call on it. I would assume then begining or mid August if the judge doesnt go on vacation. Best case scenario makes the ruling end of July.”

“All the court's requests to the IRCC and their memorandums were at an earlier stage. My final Memorandum of Reply was actually filed with the Court Registry in early December. The case is now on the judge's desk, awaiting his decision for Leave or dismiss it. There will be no further communication between the Federal Court and me or the IRCC.”

“If you look at other court cases where mandamus was requested you can see its still a slow moving beast. Even if ircc makes a decision while speaking with the courts about it.”

“It was filed by end of June. The courts have to examine it. Then they have to reach out to the agencies if they find that mandamus is warranted and allow the agencies to respond. Ircc may be waiting on other agencies which means they will have to reach out to those. And then respond. Courts will then have to read the report and response before making a final call on making ircc to make a call one way or another. They will generally have about a month or so to reply. Its summer vacation time so e”
