Hi Qorax,

Just got my GCMS - guess what, VO accepted to waive PCC for Sudan and Iraq.  

Text : PA states worked on US military bases in Iraq and Sudan. States therefore unable to provide PCC from these countries. Has provided evidence of employment during this time. OK to waive

This was updated on 27th April, 2012. On medical - I found due date mentioned as Nov 3rd, 2012.

How long you think I have to wait for medical now? Though it's killing but hopes are still alive....

Appreciate your sincere efforts to assist ALL.

Dear Qorax
I did my medicals on June 28 and repeat test on 5th of July 2012. Up till now my Ecas status has  not been updated to medical received. But some of those who did their medicals days after me with same DMP have had thier Ecas updated to medical received. What could account for this delay in my Ecas update? Thanks in anticipation of prompt response.

hello the great man qorax, if the RPRF have been cashed and the ecas show medical have been received does that mean everything is fine and they will issue ppr soon.

Hi Qorax,

Please help me. I submitted my docs to CIO in january, 2010. Have got in process in february 8, 2012 and medicals in march, 2012. I have done the meds in 20th April. But no news so far from the VO. So what do think when would they review my case again soon?. According to my recent caips they have my medicals (M01) already but have not updated ecase to medicals received though. Thank you for assisting all.

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM AMENDED

Regulations Amending the Canadian Immigration System Announced
Vol. 146, No. 33 — August 18, 2012
Ref: http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2012/2012-08-18/html/reg2-eng.html

HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Creation of an additional class -- the FSTC (Federal Skilled Trades Class);
2. FSTC applicants must have LMO, Trade Cert., minimum IELTS score and 2-yrs experience;
3. CEC (Canadian Experience Class) qualifying requirements reduced to 1-yr (from current 2-yrs.);
4. All applicants will now have to get their Foreign Educational Credential assessed before applying;
5. Education points rearranged;
6. Work experience points reduced;
7. Work experience raised from 4-yrs. to 6-yrs to get maximum score (15-points)
8. Consideration for AEO (Arranged Employment Offer) removed & replaced with LMO (Labour Market Opinion);
9. Minimum score of 67 continues -- but the criterion (per sub-category) is rebalanced;
10. A minimum IELTS score (4-points per ability) is required to be qualified to apply;
11. Favouring younger applicants (Age score revised: Maximum 12-points for ages between 18-35. No points beyond age 46);
12. Adaptability points rearranged. Now previous Canadian employment history fetches maximum score (10-points);
13. Spousal education points replaced with spousal language points;
14. Introduces a Minimum Age criteria for relatives (minimum 18-yrs.) in Canada (adaptability points);
15. Discontinuance of adaptability points from spouses who are Canadian citizen or PR;

BOTTOMLINE:

These changes come from the various consultations CIC had been doing with stakeholders since the last year. Which is aimed towards a faster immigration process for the applicants, as well as considering their ease of settlement in Canada. Basically the economic class (FSW & CEC) gets FSW being split into two -- FSWC & FSTC, with CEC being continued with more gusto. And more significance being given to the applicants Age & Language skills (which we had been expecting since last year). The main idea being to have new immigrants who are "ready for work" immediately upon their 'landing' - rather than 'draining' the various welfare schemes.
