登陆加拿大一个月,现在分享一下整个移民过程。是疫情前被捞的,现在不知何时EE-FSW才能再开。 此帖的目的是给在美国(或是除加拿大以外的其他国家)想用TA/RA经历申请加拿大EE-FSW的人一个参考。
当然,加拿大境内读书期间的TA/RA经历也能用来作为满足EE-FSW资格的work experience,但是并不能用来加分,详情可参见:https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=394&top=29。
背景 纽约州PhD在读。之前有同学校不同专业的Master,且有TA/RA经历。到PhD第四年第一学期期末(2019年11月)总的TA/RA工作时间满足加拿大的三年full time,随即入池。当时条件:单身,雅思L9 R8.5 W7 S7,年龄30(扣5分),学历硕士,工作3年,走EE-FSW,分数470。在2019年最后一轮invitations被捞起,那次分数线为469。具体时间线如下。
时间线 2019年暑假 2019年底-2020年1月初
01/13/2020 正式提交/AOR
01/29/2020 体检通过,收到指纹信 02/18/2020 打指纹 03/06/2020 Eligibility recommended pass by case analyst 08/05/2020 Eligibility passed by officer 01/15/2021 Medical extension requested by program assistant 01/28/2021 Medical extended 02/08/2021 PPR 03/10/2021 Officially approved 03/17/2021 收到移民签和CoPR 04/02/2021 登陆加拿大
关于用美国的TA/RA经历申请EE-FSW
1. 到底行不行?
完全可以!(https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=855&top=29).
2. 如何计算工作时间?
我PhD期间的TA/RA就是按照20小时每周算的,每个学年签一次contract,暑假的另外签,所有contract上也都是写的每周工作20小时。Master期间也是20小时每周,但是暑假没工作。我是严格按照我contract给的小时数和星期数加起来满3年full time (4680小时)的那天入的池,等捞起来以及AOR的时候总的小时数已经超过4680了。
3. 提交了哪些材料?
我申请时提交了Master和PhD各自的employment reference letter,是让各自系的系主任签的。还提交了所有的contract、w-2税表和最近6次pay stubs。
4. GCMS里关于employment的notes
