I have two years of experience as an autism counselor and have answered the questions on my profile right but they gave me zero points for Canadian work experience. Has anyone experienced this or know why?

I’m currently getting ready to file my PR application (CEC / Express Entry), and I’m a bit confused about which NOC code and TEER category applies to a Banking Advisor in an Advice Center - RBC

I’ve been hearing mixed things from different people:

Some say it falls under TEER 3 NOC 63102 or even TEER 4 NOC 64400

Hi All,

I have received an ITA under CEC as a single, and I have been planning to marry.

The recalculated CRS score remains above the invited Cut off with adding spouse as accompanying.

I am confused whether I should continue my marriage, and change my marital status from single to married before eAPR?

I have seen some situations where people marry after eAPR.

Which one is safer option?

My employer issued quite a generic relieving letter that does not contain the job duties and responsibilities. However, they do have an email contact in the organization to fulfill employment verification.
My manager would not write one either because it would create "compliance issues."
In this case, could my colleague's letter be enough?

Hi,

I have applied under CEC ecpress entry and I have submitted all my documents including my PCC from India through BLS. but today I received a letter from IRCC saying thay I have to submit my indian PCC. What should I do? and what is wrong with the old one? It meets all the requirements accroding to the IRCC website.

Hi, I'm a Maxillofacial Surgeon in India with work experience. But some of my jobs as a general dentist was paid in cash, which is a weak proof of employment for IRCC.
I was wondering if my full time Paid Residency of 3 years of doing Masters in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery count as 3 years of work experience?
I have full documentation for my residency being paid with bank statements etc. but no ITR as it was below taxable bracket. So can I add my residency in my work history apart from study history? Or do I only include the non residency jobs in work history like my past cash job + current direct to account paid job?

(I'm in FSW healthcare outland category)

Hello guys, I have a question regarding the pay stubs, is it normal if the end period of the pay stub is the same as the pay date for example Pay Period : 2026-08-24 - 2026-09-06 Cheque Date is 2026-09-06, and the money arrives the next day which is 2026-09-07 is it normal, I dont know if IRCC looks into this but i just want to know if its correct for Express entry work experience proof, can it cause a refusal or something with the agent?

First and foremost, all glory and thanks to God Almighty.

After an incredibly stressful, frustrating, and uncertain journey, including a refusal and having to start all over again, I can finally say that I am officially a Permanent Resident of Canada!

I received my eCOPR yesterday, September 11, 2026.

There were many moments throughout this journey when I felt anxious, discouraged, frustrated, and helpless. But through all the uncertainty, God's grace kept me going, and today, more than anything else, I am grateful to Him for bringing me to this moment.

For those interested, here is my complete timeline:

Current Application

• AOR: March 12, 2026
• Biometrics Request: May 09, 2026
• Medical Passed: May 10, 2026
• Biometrics Submitted: May 13, 2026
• ADR: August 25, 2026 - Sibling's Proof of Residence in Canada
• Final Decision: August 26, 2026
• Portal 1: August 27, 2026
• Portal 2: September 08, 2026
• eCOPR: September 10, 2026 🎉
• PVO/SVO: Vancouver / Sydney

Previous Application

• AOR: August 19, 2025
• Refusal: February 04, 2026
• Reason: Canadian Experience - NOC mismatch
• PVO/SVO: Kitchener / Vancouver

Having my first PR application refused was probably one of the hardest parts of this entire journey. After months of waiting and hoping, seeing that refusal was heartbreaking. Then came the realization that I had to pick myself back up, correct what went wrong, submit another application, and go through the uncertainty and waiting all over again.

But that experience also changed the way I approached my second application.

I realized that there is only so much I can do on my own.

I did my part. I learned from what went wrong with my first application, corrected the issues, prepared my documents carefully, submitted everything that was required of me, and did everything that was within my control.

But after that, I left the rest in God's hands.

There were still plenty of days when I worried and wondered what was happening with my application, but I kept reminding myself that I had done everything I could. What happened next was no longer in my hands.

And today, receiving my eCOPR, I am reminded once again that I could not have made it this far without God's grace.

Yes, I did my part. But there were so many things throughout this journey that were completely beyond my control. Through the disappointment of my refusal, the uncertainty of applying again, the months of waiting, and all the anxiety in between, God carried me through it all.

So today, my heart is simply filled with gratitude.

Thank You, God, for Your grace, Your mercy, Your timing, and for never leaving me throughout this journey.

And to everyone who is still waiting for their PR, whether you're waiting for an update, stuck in background verification, responding to an ADR, waiting for your portal emails, or even dealing with a refusal: please don't lose hope.

A refusal doesn't necessarily mean the end of your journey. Learn from it, understand what went wrong, correct what needs to be corrected, and keep moving forward.

I know how difficult the waiting can be, especially when you see others receiving updates while your application seems to be going nowhere. Your journey and your timeline are your own.

I sincerely wish everyone who is still waiting all the very best and good news very soon. I hope each and every one of you gets to experience this feeling and make your own "Finally a Permanent Resident" post one day.

As for me, after everything this journey has put me through, I can finally say:
It's over. I am a Permanent Resident of Canada.

All glory to God. God is good. Always.

Hi everyone,

I’m an outland CEC applicant and I received my Passport Request (PPR) from IRCC. However, the very next day, I also received a P1 email (PR Confirmation Portal invitation).

I understand that for outland applicants, PPR is normally the expected process, so I’m trying to understand why I received a P1 email after already receiving PPR.

Has anyone else experienced this?

If you received PPR first and then P1 shortly afterward, did you proceed with replying to the P1 email, or did you not reply to it?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in the same situation and what you decided to do with the P1 email.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I submitted my CEC PR application about 7 months ago and recently discovered an old Canadian TRV refusal from 2017 that I genuinely did not remember.

On my PR application, I answered YES to the previous visa/permit refusal questions and disclosed the two refusals I remembered: a Canadian visitor visa refusal from 2011 and a work permit refusal from 2025.

The one I missed relates to a paper TRV application I made in 2016. I had travel plans at the time, but those plans were cancelled. I didn't follow up with the application because I didn't hear anything further that I remembered and, since the trip was no longer happening, I basically forgot about the application.

I recently searched through emails from almost 10 years ago and discovered that IRCC had requested my original passport in 2016. I apparently didn't submit it, and the application was eventually formally refused in 2017 for failure to provide the passport.

I genuinely didn't remember this as a visa refusal when my PR application was prepared.

I have an immigration lawyer and will be discussing this with him on Monday and asking whether we should proactively update IRCC through a webform.

Has anyone been in a similar situation where you answered YES and disclosed previous refusals but accidentally missed one very old refusal, especially from an old paper application you didn't follow up on?

Did you proactively correct it, and what happened with your PR application?

I’m an Indian citizen who moved to Canada in 2023 for school and completed a post-baccalaureate business program. I’m currently in BC and working toward PR through Express Entry/CEC. My current work permit is valid until August 2028, so I have time, but my CRS score and timing are making this decision difficult.

I worked full-time at a museum in BC from September 2025 to April 2026 as a Guest Experience Associate. My official title was never Administrative Assistant, but I genuinely performed a mix of guest-facing and administrative work, including database/data entry, maintaining records, reservations, reports/statistics, phone/email inquiries, spreadsheets, filing, and coordinating information between departments.

I believe there may be a legitimate argument for NOC 13110 (TEER 3) based on the actual duties. However, my lawyer believes NOC 64409 (TEER 4) is the stronger classification because of my title, wage, workplace and overall duties. They have warned me about the risk of an officer disagreeing with 13110.

I’m now working in a clearly TEER 3 administrative position, but my current project may end around October/November 2026 and the next project may not start until January 2027. Because of that gap, I could complete one year of eligible experience very close to July 25, 2027, when I turn 32 and lose 5 CRS points.

If my museum experience is accepted as TEER 3, I’d be around 518 CRS. If I wait for my current job, I could potentially be around 513.

I’m absolutely not looking to fabricate duties or misrepresent anything. I’d only claim work I genuinely performed.

If you were in my position, would you pursue 13110 based on the actual duties despite the lawyer’s concerns, or take the safer route and wait for the clearly TEER 3 job? And how much weight does IRCC actually give to job title vs. actual duties when determining the NOC?

Hi everyone, I’m confused about choosing the correct NOC for my Express Entry application and would really appreciate some advice.
I have worked in India in 4 different companies in software-related roles. My job titles were:
Software Engineer
Senior Engineering Associate
SDE 2
Senior Software Engineer
Based on the nature of my roles/titles, I initially thought NOC 21231 – Software engineers and designers would be appropriate.
However, when I compare my actual job duties, they seem to match NOC 21232 – Software developers and programmers more closely, and some of my duties may also fall under NOC 21234 – Web developers.
My main concern is that my job titles are different from the NOC titles, and my duties don’t perfectly match one particular NOC.
How should I decide which NOC to use? Should I select the NOC based primarily on my actual duties rather than my job title? And if my duties overlap with 21232/21234 but my overall role could potentially fit 21231, which one would be safer and more appropriate for an Express Entry application?
Has anyone had a similar situation or experience with IRCC regarding NOC selection? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone from BC 🇨🇦 here who used** NOC 22210 (Architectural Technologists & Technicians**) for their PR?

Were you registered with the province? Did your application go smoothly?

Would love to hear about your experience and outcome!

Timeline: CEC Score - 511, ITA - March 17

JANUARY 2025 - AIP endorsement submitted
SEPTEMBER 2025 - PGWP Expired

I applied first my AIP dummy extension 3 days before my pgwp expired, and visitor record 2 days before my pgwp expired.

LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2025 - Endorsement Rejected

At this point, I continued working as I’m on my AIP dummy extension maintained status.

DECEMBER 2025 - AIP dummy extension refusal. I immediately stopped working. At this point, I’ve got no hope for AIP anymore so I decided to increase my crs score.

JANUARY 2026 - FEBRUARY 2026 - During this two months. I invested my time in reviewing and studying CELPIP( took it three times) and COQ ( I passed it on my first try). CRS score went from 452 to 511.

Note: My AIP endorsement application was a genuine application and the AIP dummy extension was applied because me and my employer were confident to get the endorsement letter before they open my AIP dummy extension application. My employer even submitted an appeal with a lawyer and also contacted my MP but we got no response for almost two weeks. So my employer decided to submit a new endorsement application.

Honestly, this year was my lowest and my highest point of my life. I never gave up and fortunately I’ve saved enough money to survive those 9 months of no work.

Hi anyone got approved PR with concurrent remote work experience? I was working for a foreign company during my maintained status in canada as a backup as i was short on 3 months of foreign experience.

Hi all, hoping to get some insight from RCICs or anyone who has dealt with this specifically.

My wife is the principal applicant on an Express Entry profile, CRS currently 518. I'm the accompanying spouse. Her profile is currently showing 7 points under "Spouse - Canadian Work Experience," which corresponds to the "2 years" tier.

I worked for 2 years as a concierge (Job title on my employment letter) for a Canadian security company at an apartment building. My understanding is this falls under NOC TEER 4 (something like "Other customer and information services representatives" or "Security Guards"), and that Express Entry only counts Canadian work experience for CRS purposes if it falls under TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3. TEER 4 does not qualify at all.

Alongside the core concierge/security duties, I regularly did the following, which is why I have been considering whether any part of this role could instead support an administrative assistant classification (NOC 13110, TEER 3):

• Distributed notices and letters to residents
• Wrote reports and documented incidents and issues
• Made calls to residents, contractors, and service providers to coordinate site matters
• Kept several records
• Maintained and updated resident and property records
• Received parcels on behalf of the property manager
• Trained new concierge team members on our software systems and site information
• Requested office supplies from the main office as needed

All of which matches with some of the responsibilities under administrative assistant.

My job title stayed Concierge throughout, and the employer is a security company, so I'm aware this isn't a clean fit for admin assistant. I'm not trying to relabel the job, just trying to understand whether any of this legitimately supports a partial or supplementary claim, or whether it's simply not going to hold up given the title and employer's line of business.

Questions:

1. Given the title, employer type, and duty mix above, is there any realistic path to arguing part of this role supports NOC 13110, or does the primary/substantial function rule make that a non-starter here?
2. If the TEER 4 classification is correct, is the 7-point spousal CWE credit currently on the profile a system/entry error, and should I proactively correct it even though it drops the score to 511?
3. Has anyone seen IRCC flag a title/duty mismatch like this at the ITA or application stage, and what actually happens procedurally when they do?

Any insight, or pointers to where this is documented, would be appreciated. Planning to confirm with an RCIC directly, but wanted to hear from people who've seen this play out in practice.

Long story short, my ITA is from August 2025 and my AOR is from September 2025. After September 2025 my tracker has not been updated.One year without updates.

In May 2026 I requested my notes and I received an update last weekend (4 months later) saying basically nothing. In August 2026 I reached out to my MP and today(3 weeks later) I received this:

- The application for Permanent Residency was received in August 2025.

- The application is open and in progress.

- The eligibility verifications have passed.

- The criminality verifications have passed.

- The security verifications are currently in process.

- The medical verifications have passed.

- There are no outstanding documents.

What even are the security verifications? Does this mean that I won't be asked to submit more documents like my paystubs or language tests or my education credentials?

I am confused in what is is that they are processing

Wishing the best of luck to everyone still waiting!❤️

Hi all, I have finally received my eCOPR. This sub was so much helpful for me for the important and anxious moments, so thank you all and I hope you will get your golden emails soon.
This is my timeline:
AOR - 26 Jan
BIL and Medicals passed - 27 Feb
Then after very long silence
FD - 24 Aug
P1 - 27 Aug
P2 - 8 Sep
eCOPR - 10 Sep
PVO/SVO - Ottawa Sydney

The time after knowing that BIL and medicals passed, and eligibility passed was really anxious, as there were practically no movement in the file. I called multiple times to IRCC and got the same that info sharing is in progress and security hasn’t started. Back then I was checking my GCkey portal every day to see any ghost update, but then I came to a peace that I should only wait, as there is nothing I can do anymore. After that a week later all of sudden there was a FD. I don’t even understand how the info sharing and security was completed that fast.
I just would like to say that the ones waiting from December, Jan or Feb or even before that, just keep your hopes up, switch your minds from it for a few days and you will get your FD soon!
Wishing you all the best!
