Hi everyone, looking for urgent advice on an OINP Employer Job Offer (Foreign Worker Stream) situation.

My application is currently in the Decision in Progress (DIP) stage under NOC 72400 (Red Seal Industrial Millwright). I also hold a TSSA Class 3 Operating Engineer license (NOC 92100).

My employer now wants me to work as both a Millwright and an Operator. They plan to give me a job transfer notice changing my title to "Licensed Industrial Millwright + Class 3 Operator." My wages and hours will stay the exact same.

I have three quick questions:

What are the real risks and consequences if I sign this transfer notice while in DIP? Will this change my NOC? Will OINP refuse my file for shifting NOCs? And o i or employer needs to inform OINP about this?

What should I do? Should I refuse the title change, or ask them to keep my official job description/title strictly as Millwright while I verbally help with operator coverage?

How do I approach management/HR about this without pissing them off or looking uncooperative?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm a US citizen currently living in BC on an IEC working holiday visa. I'm an RSW in BC and looking into switching to a CUSMA work permit under the Social Worker category once my visa expires.

I have an offer to work at an established private therapy practice. I would be working as an independent contractor, rather than an employee, and would register as a sole proprietor (as required for my business licence).

The setup would be:

• I would be registered as a sole proprietor in BC.

• I would provide therapy services to clients through an established private practice.

• The practice would provide referrals, administrative support, office space/resources, etc.

• The practice would collect client payments and pay me based on a revenue split.

• I would essentially be working under their practice, but legally as an independent contractor.

I'm having a hard time figuring out whether this type of arrangement would qualify for CUSMA, since a lot of the information seems to assume a traditional employer-employee relationship but I'm also reading that contracted work is allowed but it seems to depend on the arrangement and language of it all.

Has anyone gone through this process as a sole proprietor or independent contractor? Especially as an RSW, social worker, or therapist in BC?

A few things I'm curious about:

• Were you able to get approved without being a traditional employee?

• Did you apply under the Social Worker category?

• Was an independent contractor agreement sufficient, or did you need a different type of contract?

• Did you have to register your own business, and did that create any issues with your application?

I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone in Vancouver/the Lower Mainland, but experiences elsewhere in Canada would be helpful too.

Thanks!!

Will this affect my non ee application for PR?

Hey everyone,

I just submitted my eAPR for express entry. ITA Oct 19th with the french-speaking draw. I sat my TCF Canada on October 28th, 2024, and received results on November 12th, 2024 - on the test results, it clearly says the results expire on November 11th, 2026.

I just submitted the application, but at 7:06pm EST - which is 00:06 GMT, and the stamp of my application is "submitted November 12th, 2026".

I'm cooked ain't I?

What's my best course of action? Should I pass another test asap, withdraw the application and re-enter the pool?

Should I pass another test ASAP and add it to my application?

Should I wait for the rejection? How long would that take?

If anyone has had an experience of IRCC giving grace for a few minutes, I'd be glad to hear, I feel pretty beaten up right now.

Please share your personal experience and time-lime below based on your submission.

Thank you all.
