I applied under the foreign skilled worker stream. Here's hoping I get my confirmation soon because my PGWP expires tomorrow and I might need to travel soon. I applied for a BOWP a few weeks ago, but...

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread

Received a 'Decision Made' on eCas over the weekend although nothing on my CIC profile. My application was received on May 16th, so the time line is pretty much in line with everybody else so far.

Re: International money transfer on a reg. basis - Paypal

Re: UK Paramedic Science Student wanting to transfer to Canadian uni

Just out of interest, how did you get admitted onto a degree course in the UK with C grade GCSE's as your highest level of education, at only 22 years old? I wouldn't have thought that was possible?...
