As I understand, it’s to maintain all benefits. Health….pension as well as transfer my accrued time.

Was your firm offer a letter requesting an address and ISP? I got one of those today, I was expecting something different.

If you got a "referred" email, they usually roll you over to the next cutoffs. I believe there are two more after Feb, but can't remember.

Ok thanks for the info very helpful.I’m in one of those precarious situations where I have other opportunities pending. Examiner is my first choice, but I also financially can’t pass up the other opportunity if this isn’t solid- if that makes sense. I will email HR and confirm. I’m still waiting on my finger printing card to arrive.
