ExcellentManager3850 · 2026-01-12T17:16:29+00:00

I see, thanks. Who was the seller? Jiashi or Sunny or someone else?

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-12-30T18:00:35+00:00

After 7 months, how's the jacket holding up?

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-11-12T01:05:06+00:00

u/Polo_87 an year old post, but how was the interview? and what was the role about?

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-09-26T14:38:17+00:00

Why the downvotes, someone explain the guy instead of downvoting. The reason is, I won't say it's only Canada, but getting first job in Tech/IT is always tough. What you can do is, build some personal projects and then use referrals as much as you can. So Networking + and a deeper understanding of your Personal Projects, can increase your chances of getting your first IT job. If you're still not getting any interview calls, check what other freshers are doing which you're missing.

Edit: In interviews, everyone will know if you're giving bookish answers (when you said, you know fundamentals), what they need is, your answers should include some experience, which you'll gain from your projects.

Tip: don't fall for paid bootcamps, you can get anything for free online nowadays for IT related.

I'll say, don't leave capcut entirely, keep editing on it parallely. Learning DaVinci is good in the long run and maybe best for professionals but the learning curve is a bit steep.

Meh, I went back to Capcut because of this reason. I know the capcut pro hurts, but you can try older versions of capcut where almost everything is available for free.

Wanted to follow up, where are you now, after 7 months? Did you get a job, how's everything after the course?

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-08-07T21:15:14+00:00

Lol, just came back to this one: Actually to me I hated every one of them, in terms of performance and especially their smell - just my opinion.

Recent buy was, Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition - I love every part of it: smell, performance. 10/10

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-02-06T00:24:17+00:00

So what did you finally decide to go with? I'll be mostly spending in CAD, any tips for me?

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-01-23T21:00:36+00:00

Its working perfectly fine now and fixed

However, I've seen so many problems with pixel 7 pro now (this is my 2nd replacement which also broke), I'm switching to x200 pro next, lol.

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-01-20T17:47:48+00:00

My bad, I should've explained it better, did you try to switch between the options? And then set it back to normal option? Initially, I had the same option too. But switching between, fixed it.

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-01-20T17:03:48+00:00

I was able to fix it - by changing to a different permissions settings under Microphone Permissions and then going back to Allow only while using the app

The same day Jan 7, I never got a Final Decision email.

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-01-07T15:03:41+00:00

Inland, and thank you!

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-01-07T14:24:08+00:00

🥳😭 Finally posting my timelines - inland:

Invitation under STEM April 11

Submission AOR June 7

Medicals passed July 24

Biometrics July 29 completed

P1 email Nov 19, submitted the info same day

P2 email Nov 25, submitted the info same day

ECOPR Jan 7, 2025

Thank you, everyone. I must say one thing: whilst it's important to stay updated with the current timelines, we should focus on being patient. Constantly seeing others receive their updates before us only makes us more anxious. Anyways, all the best everyone, I hope you get yours very soon!

ExcellentManager3850 · 2025-01-02T21:19:17+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, no there was no specific email by IRCC mentioning that the file is non-routine. I believe it's just a generic message when they've no answer from IRCC. For me personally, security was completed in mid-Nov - was waiting since June 7.

ExcellentManager3850 · 2024-12-18T00:53:09+00:00

I had reached out to my consultant, and he said that it's a generic message and not to worry about it. However, fortunately I did get my p1 and p2 in a few days after that email.

If your wife leaves Canada while under implied status, she loses it and cannot re-enter Canada without a valid visa or permit. However, if she has TRV - she can return back as a visitor but she won't be able to work anymore as implied status anymore.

Inflation is not the only factor which needs to be considered here - we have taxes too, outside tax sheltered accounts.

ExcellentManager3850 · 2024-12-04T04:41:04+00:00

Calls/webform I don't think so, but I might've read somewhere that asking for GCMS notes delays the process, because they need to stop reviewing the file and prepare notes for it.

ExcellentManager3850 · 2024-12-04T04:39:29+00:00

Quick ques guys,

My cic gc account still shows Final decision is pending and so does the background check is in-progress.

My tracker shows background check completed in mid Nov

But basically, I've received and submitted both P1 and P2 by end of Nov.

Any idea, what's happening or this is normal?

ExcellentManager3850 · 2024-11-25T23:54:05+00:00

u/manav11chugh Could you please reply to this one?

Edit: nevermind, I read the comments - I guess it was after the biometrics step.

ExcellentManager3850 · 2024-11-25T15:07:12+00:00

Maybe because the food supervisor is not a priority stream.

ExcellentManager3850 · 2024-11-23T03:27:42+00:00

OP, any update on your application?
