新年快樂,今天我們分別收到了CIC和薩省移民廳的郵件。先來看看CIC的:
Express Entry: will I benefit from submitting my profile first?
Creating an Express Entry profile will soon be the first step to immigrate to Canada permanently as a skilled worker through the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), or Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
Although the system launches at 12 noon EST on January 1, it is important to note that there is no advantage to rushing to complete this process because you can submit your Express Entry profile at any time.
With Express Entry there are no deadlines to complete a profile and there are no caps on the number of candidates that will be accepted to the pool.
****IMPORTANT****
CIC will issue candidates an Invitation to Apply by regularly drawing only the top ranked candidates from the pool. The first draw will take place at the end of January 2015.
A candidate’s rank is determined using the Comprehensive Ranking System, and not based on when their profile was submitted. In other words, the Express Entry system ensures that only the candidates who are most likely to succeed – and not simply the first to submit their application – are able to apply to immigrate to Canada.
Express Entry系統啟動時間為加拿大東部時間1月1日中午12點,也就是北京時間1月2日凌晨1點。CIC強調了EE沒有截止日期,也沒有cap(申請人數上限),並不用急着在第一時間遞交。Express Entry的第一次撈人是在一月底,所以大家有將近一個月時間來熟悉這一系統並進一步完善自己的申請材料。
薩省的回復是被我們用一個個電話和一封封郵件催出來的,下面是我們的郵件:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an applicant of 2015 SINP-Occupation In-Demand. I have phoned your office on Dec. 29th, 2014 about the application time. I was told it is scheduled to accept the application of 2015 at 8:00 am of January 2nd, 2015 by one representative. But I was also told the system will start to accept the application at 12:00 am of January 2nd, 2015 by another representative who called me back to answer the message I left. I am now confusing which one is accurate. What is the result of submitting my application before the acceptance time set by the government? For example, If 8:00 am, January 2nd, 2015 is right and I submit the application at around 12:00 am January 2nd, 2015, what will happen to my application? Will I be rejected or accepted as an application for 2015 program? Given the extreme popularity of your program, the exact acceptance time is really most important thing for me. Could you kindly help me to clarify it? Many many sincere thanks! I am looking forward to your reply!
Happy New Year!
Best regards,
薩省的政府工作人員真的很Nice,居然會回我們的語音留言(我們很少見到會回語音留言的機構了),而且一連幾天打電話給我們說明最新的情況,那麼接下來這封郵件可以認為是最終版本:
