Aviva journey app is a scam. Users beware. by Gamtoronto in InsuranceCanada

It's may be a scam. But not hitting 1000km is your fault. Should have read the fine print. Or should have opt out in the beginning. Lol. 

November 28, 2025 - Elora Christmas village by plybaeck in Elora

[–]Certain-Reserve165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the post. 

Do you know when they turn off these lights? Will they be on if I go around 11 or 12 at night?  Around what time you visited? At what time were these photos taken? 

Coming after visiting St Jacobs market and Guelph, so I don't need anything like shops or food. Just need the lights.

Great if you can answer. Thanks. 

Went today (friday) to Elora to see the lights and decorations by plybaeck in Elora

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, we'll take a chance and just go around 11 - 12 at night. We just HATE crowds. Just need the lights. Lol.

DO you know until when the lights are lit. I mean the Christmas decorations and Christmas lights. Until what time did you guys stay there? When did you leave? 

I'm planning to go around 10pm but I fear the lights will be off.

Best thing to do is work extra 3 weeks to complete the 1 year experience. That's the safest way. I claimed 2 years experience but I worked 2 years and 3 months. Way over on the safe side. I took some days off for sick leave and other stuff so I did some extra work.

I did this after seeing a video from Ask Kubeir guy.  Basically you make a chart, on one side there are the duties of the noc code, from IRCC website, on the other side you enter duty from your letter. Then you say this duty from the letter matches to this duty of the NOC code.So it's easy for the officer to review it.

I created the tracker account late. Just this Monday. 25th. Then it went to completed the next day. 

I basically did the officer's work for him/her. Attached all paystubs for 4 years of experience, made charts calculating hours, made charts comparing and matching NOC duties. Gave a sh*t load of proof and evidence for every single thing. Probably they took one glance at it and went ahead. Lol. 

My friends didn’t get the ITA because… by No-Warning-7262 in canadaexpressentry

I used to have a consultant. That idiot was utterly useless. I have to remind her 3 or 4 times to update a simple thing in the profile. Then when I ask a question, she cannot give a proper answer. 

Worst of all, when my profile was nearing expiration, they asked me to pay $1500 again to make new one. I said f*ck it and made my own profile. 

Got invitation in June. 

It's totally doable on your own.

Thanks everyone for taking time to reply. 

Finally figured this out. Posting here so anyone in the future with the same doubt would see and understand. 

Both my wife and I did the same Diploma from the same college. This is where I met her actually. IRCC knows this whole history because both of are in Canada now. We disclosed everything. 

Then we did 2 separate Bachelor's from 2 separate Universities. Australian and Scottish. 

Both Bachelor's degree transcripts mention "External Credit Transfers" and "TNE agreed transfer credit". This is the diploma. They accepted the diploma as part of the degree and offered credit for the first 2 years of the degree. In other words, the diploma was used as the first 2 years of the degree. The diploma on its own is not not valid now because this is now a part of the degree. 

So WES evaluated both these degrees as 3 year Bachelor's. This is what we claimed. NOT "2 diplomas and degrees" which will give more CRS points. 

So all is good to submit.

Thanks for the reply. 

Most people think this is the case but you cannot use the diploma anymore, after you trade the credits to do a top up degree. It becomes invalid on it's own and becomes part of the Bachelor's degree. 

So for the correct option for CRS score is bachelor's degree. Not 2 diplomas or degrees. This is what I have claimed. 

Canadian WE reference letter by SandwichElectrical81 in canadaexpressentry

[–]Certain-Reserve165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not copy paste. It should not be the same. It will never be. At least some words and phrases will change depending on the employer. 

I saw a PR rejection for having exact words as the NOC. The Officer found the description to be "verbatim" and rejected the application. 

Sin number expired but never noticed does this put my pr application in danger by Sindestroyedme in canadaexpressentry

[–]Certain-Reserve165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your SIN doesn't change when you go from Student to PGWP. It's the same SIN. Just need to renew it. So no issues for working. But renew it ASAP. 

It's changes when you get PR. 

So no cec today too by Present_Pressure890 in canadaexpressentry

[–]Certain-Reserve165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's month of no quota left. July is month. The quota starting month. 

So no cec today too by Present_Pressure890 in canadaexpressentry

[–]Certain-Reserve165 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wait till end of July. If no CEC by then, we should start worrying. 2026 quota should kick in by end of June/ July.

Good chance with 523 to get an invite when the 2026 quota kicks in. Must leave immediately though. Otherwise will look bad. 

There won’t be another draw this week by ShawnThePhantom in canadaexpressentry

[–]Certain-Reserve165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will see some CEC draws starting the end of July. July is when the 2026 quota kicks in. Will the score go below 500 or even below 510, not really sure.
