jhasan,
I do not think sydney ever replies by email. If you are approved, they will send you the fee receipt which cannot be emailed. If rejected, they will send your documents back (I think) which is again not possible by email.

wpc71,
Thanks very much for your valuable input, forms i sent were under fsw-category-1 and the form i was refering to is IMM0008egen. Please note i was not required to send anyother document except filled in forms, a copy of passport, 2 self addressed labels and demand draft. However consdiering your opinion if i have to get a reciept of payment and if they do not scan and attach it to email then in that case i guess i will need to wait for there postal reply.
thanks very much for your advise.
Regards,
jhasan

Dear All,
I am an University "Assistant Professor" from Jan 2009 In Bangladesh. I have completed my PhD from Canada in Oct 2008. I stayed in Canada from Jan 2005-Oct 2008 and during that period I was research assistant (where I get paid) to my professor. Before going to Canada, I have two years University teaching experience as Lecturer.

I have post-graduation work permit from Canada (my canadian visa is expired but have valid US visa, so I can enter Canada through USA). I want to apply as federal skill worker (catagory 1).

Can I apply to Buffalo office now? Because the processing there is faster.


Please Note: As I am from Bangladesh, the visa office is in Singapore and it has 4 years processing queue. Is it true that the processing time will be reduced to 6-12 months?

Thank you very much. I will highly appreciate your answers.

Hi folks...few simple questions that I have, you guys and girls may answer...
In the application they asked for "self addressd mailing labels"...since I 'm begining to doubt my english skills, does that mean just my name and and address on a blank paper or on an envelope or...what???

Should the family member (not accompanying the applicaant) photos be attached  , or shall I wait until I receive back the application???, and the photos themselves must be with the same specifications as the applicant photos.

Thanks in advance

Label is a sticky piece of paper where you write your name and address (you can ask for it at the post office). You send it to Sydney with your application. Actually they don't use it. Or may be they use it in some cases.

They don't ask for photos. But if you really want you can. They are not gonna return them to you so you'll have to get new ones for your full application.

thank u spa...i think too that they likely do not use the labels..but whatever they want !

I have applied for PR under skilled catogory but before the interview i changed the main applicant from me to my wife because she got more qualifications than me. under my name i had a file number and when i changed to my wife as the main applicant i got a new file number. So please help me someone, DO I HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER APPLICATION PROCESSING FEE? BECAUSE I HAVE PAID IT UNDER MY NAME AND EARLIER FILE NUMBER.

I applied my PR in August 2008 from New Delhi, India. I received letter in Jan 2009 from CIC to submit full application.I submitted it by March 20, 2009.



Please guide me in how much time i can expect medical exams?

More important is in how much time(in months) they will inquire from my current and past employers?

I'll be highly thankful if seniors will respond to my query.


Thanks & Regards

CAN ANYONE HELP??

Im currently filling out my canadian immigration forms myself and have one or two issues...

1. Can you write the term 'PRESENT' with regards to personal history for example. Where it states FROM & TO (Years & Months) I've written the year & month I started my job and then ive written 'PRESENT' in the next box. Can you do that?? Or must I put in a date? If so, what date?

2. The additional family form IMM 5406, how does my spouse fill that form in as she isn't the principal applicant. Does she write her name next to 'APPLICANT' or 'SPOUSE'?

3. The question where it states "Where to you intend to live in Canada?" on the IMM 0008 FORM,  can you state a possible 2 cities and 2 provinces?

4. I am the principal applicant so, what forms does my Spouse have to fill in altogther?

Any answers to those questions would be appreciated. Thank you

I wrote the month in which I applied as the present time.

Applicant.

3. The question where it states "Where to you intend to live in Canada?" on the IMM 0008 FORM,  can you state a possible 2 cities and 2 provinces?

This is not really important. Just write your first favorite! If approved, you may land anywhere in Canada.

4. I am the principal applicant so, what forms does my Spouse have to fill in altogther?

Background declaration and additional family information

Any answers to those questions would be appreciated. Thank you

You are welcome!
