Rounding up 2024 with Canadian Immigration |

[@paulissar1036]

I would not come to Canada at this time unless I was a Permanent Resident. Too many uncertainties.

28:04 i am still not sure why SDS was removed. It had higher requirements than the regular student visa process. Especially baffling after they raised the GIC required so recently. May be they will port over most of the SDS requirements to the regular stream?

Hi Sir, with the current political turmoil, if there are early elections and conservatives come in to the power, will that pause CEC for longer time or are there any chances that they may halt CEC draws? Waiting in the pool with 510 CRS and wp expiring on February 2026!

Thank you for the video. I want to apply to BC PNP international post graduate via express entry option (to get 600 scores). In "education" section of EE profile, under the question "your standing at the end of study period", there are 3 options to choose: -) in good standing but no degree awarded. b) Degree awarded. -) Not completed. I defended my thesis in Dec 2024 and I have completion letter and transcripts however the degree will be conferred officially in May 2025. Which option should I choose now? Can I update that before getting an ITA?

Hello, Thank you for sharing a compiled presentation. It was really helpful. I have a question Currently i am in quebec with a open work permit and my company is ready to offer me with a closed work permit to continue to have me. I wanted to know if the 50 points will be awarded?

[@AskKubeir]

It may not be applicable post spring 2025

[@diyatannani1891]

@ Thank you for your reply.

2 year BOWP approved 1 day before PR was rejected. Would it stay valid for the 2 year duration? Also, it was mailed before strike started and I still haven't received it. Moved to a new address and dont have access to mailbox to the mailing address at the time of approval. What to do in this case?

[@TashaShaMus]

Why was your PR rejected?

[@utsavmayani5272]

@TashaShaMus Certificate of Qualification was deemed ineligible hence 50 points were reduced.

[@AskKubeir]

Wp will remain valid until its validity

[@Bjon10]

Kubeir please I need your assistance, my previous agent didn't mention a work experience I had in my home country, I will be applying for a PGWP soon, I do not wish to claim points for this experience, I'm just wondering what I should do about this situation, should I mention it in my PGWP with a LOE or should I omit it? Please advice and happy new year in advance!

[@dr.sharvaridarekar7209]

I have started watching your videos once again. I noticed you have stopped saying "forever hopeful... " Have you lost faith in IRCC Kubeir ?

[@PraveenGanji-SE]

I am here in Canada on Work permit along with my wife and son. Can I submit my application as a single applicant(Married but Wife not accompanying)? My wife is planning to go back to India and stay there for 2-3 years, so I want to apply a PR for her when she is ready to come back to Canada.

[@vNinja97]

1 year of foreign experience was not mentioned on study permit because it was recent and had no documents from company itself to prove it during that time. Did not thought that it would impact the profile this way and why would I not mention it if it were to help me in my PR ? It was unknowingly. Didn't mention in the PGWP also with same reason as I thought it was not required. I understand it was my negligence but Have all the documents be it bank statements, income tax return document, experience letter, pay slips from the company. I recently saw it would be a risky case to mention it now but what is the solution ? Really need guidance as the experience is genuine with all the necessary proofs.

[@AskKubeir]

Unfortunately if you did not disclose it earlier, then this is quite a risk

[@vNinja97]

@AskKubeir yes sir, you are completely correct. But what can be done now ? Any advice or suggestion ? Should I not disclose it completely or is there any chance worth taking ?

No, since you are on a visitor status, you can not apply for a work permit inside Canada

Ok thanks

Both applications are from India only. I have been to Canada only once on an old study permit visa, expiring April 25th, and my wife will apply for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) on January 15th. Should I apply for a new study permit while my old one is still valid, or after it expires?

Having gone through all the news about the situations in Canada 🇨🇦, and the news about Canada India relationship, why are you still interested in going to Canada 🇨🇦?

[@AskKubeir]

If valid till jan 2025, that means not enough time to give you for visa validity, hence u should redo ur medicals

[@יוליהפיינגולד]

Any chance 517 till spring 2025? Thank you

[@AskKubeir]

Possible. Depends on the frequency of the draws

My spouse was on maternity leave for three months and will soon complete two years of work experience. Will these three months be excluded from the calculation? Thanks in advance!
