Mitali:

Thank you so much for the post, how do new immigrants actually find out about these programs and access them, by calling their local federal government office??

Thank you,
Cam

Hi Cam,

The first place to knock would be Service Canada and then the Provincial offices. I would recommend doing this homework before landing so that you know exactly where to/how to avail these facilities.

I would like to warn prospective new immigrants to double check the "SLEEP COUNTRY mattress" program before they avail it. There are some horrible stories. These mattresses are not new and have been used and sometimes were found to be infested with bugs. It seems, only a visual inspection is performed before they are given away to new immigrants.

1. Canada stressing on YOUNG applicants; weeding out old population
2. Credential evaluation; but with no assurance of job.....they will still be doing survival jobs 
3. Priortization amongst Priority NOC: No more queue ( as if they had ever maintained a queue policy)....list of Super Priority NOC will be processed first

Hi GUys,
           Few questions -
1. Got a letter from the canadian office Detroit. They requested the right to permanent residence fee USD 490. I have applied for me and my wife for canadian PR. My question is i have to submit just USD 490 or USD 980 ?
2. Does any one know how long it takes to get FBI clearance in the US ? If yes what is the best way to get it done ?
3. How long does it take to get the PCC from the Indian embassy at Washington DC ?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

WOW! I am in shock. Although this will not affect some people, and some will be processed faster, MANY old applications will be affected by this! Many old applicants will simply not pass the new qualification requirements under the new rules once they are passed, and applications which would have otherwise passed through, will now be denied!

"A similar change would allow new regulations, once approved, to apply retrospectively to people who have already submitted an application."

The new rules:

"points system will be reformed to reflect the importance of younger immigrants with Canadian work experience and better official language skills."

Furthermore:

"FSW applicants will have their foreign educational credentials assessed and verified abroad as a part of the application process."

I am speechless! Many old applicants would not qualify under the new point system being considered, or because of age restrictions that will be applied, or the new language skill levels... I could understand if they would say these rules will apply from now on, but to say that they will apply retrospectively to people who have already submitted an application is plain unfair.

Each one of us has spent money, time and resources to apply for PR visa because we met the application rules at the time, to come and change these rules after all this time and disqualify candidates is shameful in my opinion.

I guess the only question left is when these new regulations would be approved and become effective?? Anyone have an idea?

Thanks Mitali.

Mew2k10,

We had our GSMC notes last yr, You should look at assignment date (when your application will be looked at) and Due date (dead line)
in our case assignment date was 22 Oct 2011, around that we got Med Req, and our dead line was exactly 1 yr since PER, 24 Jan 2012. But because of their error with our kids meds, and i was due a baby in Jan 2012, they said the dead line will be extended. So we've ordered another one now, should be ready within couple of weeks. Will see what's going on there.
