[bhavikcpatel]

As per information available on offical site, you should have at least 1 yr  exp in last 10 yrs for related category so i think you can apply.

All the documents except transcript should be notarized


Also I have come across following help written on CIC.GC.CA.

To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:

“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”
the name of the original document
the date of the certification
his or her name
his or her official position or title
his or her signature


People authorized to certify copies include the following:

In Canada:

a commissioner of oaths
a notary public
a justice of the peace
Outside Canada:

a judge
a magistrate
a notary public
an officer of a court of justice
a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the person is living


kindly let me know your location.

Please anybody help us on this topic to conclude it

can we send photocopy attested by any of given person above. What does notarized means exactly -> Should I attest RED LOGO on each documents?

hi all
where to send processing fee draft for spouse canada or london visa office.
sending my documents to london visa office and want to add spouse in my immigration case..

plzzz urgent hep required... my 120 days are abt to finish

[edidigit]

Original Police clearance Certificate and IELTS results are required as per new requirements both by CIO and by Country specific Visa office in London for Pakistan ,so what I should do, when I just have one original document.

Hi

Have you found your answer? I have the same problem with IELTS result when I have only one original results ?

[Pippin]

That one original PCC and IELTS documents are the ones CIO wants to have, so make a copy for your records and send them the originals.

[Pippin]

CIO will forward your documents to your specified VO if you are approved, so don't worry about your VO Specific Checklist requiring the originals...you only send ONE PACKAGE now.

[edidigit]

That one original PCC and IELTS documents are the ones CIO wants to have, so make a copy for your records and send them the originals.

Hi, thank you for your prompt reply, but my problem is I need my original IELTS results for somewhere else as well! So what I understand is that I need to send only the original IELTS result?

You know that we can always ask the IELTS to send the IELTS report to the third parties like universities and immigration offices ? Is it acceptable for Canada immigration as well ?

Thanx

[Pippin]

I understood everything had to be included in the package when you send it to CIO.  Perhaps others know more about IELTS arriving separately.  You may have to make a decision which place you can take a chance on and which one is likely not to be flexible.  With the 1,000 cap now on the NOCs, there isn't much room for second chances.

Dear Matties
i would like to say that i filled my application on 12th May and received by CIO on 18th May 2010. on my application i have mentioned 2 NOC from 2003 to 2007 as Network Administrator NOC 2281 pre feb 2007 to gain the point for experience and 4131 as College Instructor from 2007 to todate. one thing remains to be mentioned that my previous application is also in process since Nov 2006 with NOC 2281. my question is this 4131 is in the list and 2281 is non-listed. so my applicaion will b ok or there will be a problem with 2 NOC?

Hi,
I'm not sure if you can help me with this  but my son in-law and daughter are just about to submit an application to come to canada. He is a skilled worker and his job is listed on the  jobs needed in Canada. The question I have is this:
On the application form, there is a question that asks .... where would you like to live in Canada
I live in Vancouver and would like them to put BC but if there are job shorteges in other parts of Canada such as  Halifax or Toronto, should he be putting one of those  as a location?  We are concerned that if he puts a location on the form that doesn't have a shortage in his area of work,  that it will impact on the decision making of the officer looking at their case. We appreciate some advice. Many thanks for looking at this.
regards,
Jacky Eames

[Leon]

Skilled worker acceptance is not based on worker shortages in certain areas in Canada.  It is just based on the points system and 29 occupations or job offer.  If his occupation is on the list of 29 and he has enough points and they both clear background checks and medicals, they will be approved.

They can put whatever city they feel like on the forms as long as it's not in Quebec.

[montubrahm20]

I am Nirmit Brahmbhatt from India. I have completed Masters in Pharmacy, Now Canadian Govt. has changed their Skilled Worker Occupation List and they have included PHARMACIST in it and the NOC for that is 3131.
Now my question is,

A. Can I Apply under this class as Pharmacist because in Canada pharmacist have to go for the license Exam and I am in India & not cleared the Canadian Exam so will they consider me as Pharmacist?

B. Earlier I had applied for student visa and also faced interview and in rejection latter i have got many ticks but more importantly i have got the tick for Document Incredibility of admission latter?

Please do reply, I am eagerly waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
Regards,
