Hi
I will share my information first:)
My employer applied AEO last Aug 4,
got file number as of Aug 10,
got first contact from Service Canada on Oct 8,
got rejected for delay of reponse Oct 15,
(my boss was away in Asia, they were talking through email, which was killing me :p )
sent out reconsideration request by fax on Oct 16,
got apprval on Oct 19 by fax.
I hope this will help whose emplyers are applying for AEO.
I came to Canada 2 years ago as a student, from Korean.
I can apply to immigration office in Korea as well as office in Sydney, (to Buffalo at the end), I believe.
How long does it take for the people who are in Canada with AEO to get the PR?
Any one similar situation?
How much AEO helps?
Everyone gets interview?
Please share your information.
I cannot really afford Lawyer cause I cannot work until I get PR
1. Between 6-12 months at the processing office, plus processing time at Sydney, plus the time for you to get the required information for the 120 day letter.
2. You should note that CIC/CHC appears to be looking at AEOs a little closer these days. The following is a copy of a letter that a couple of applicants with AEOs have received.
Dear Applicant,
This refers to your application for permanent residence. Please be sure that you read this letter carefully and provide precisely what is being requested; if you provide incorrect or incomplete information, it may result in your application being delayed or refused.
Your application may be processed more quickly, outside the regular queue for skilled worker applications, if you can show that you meet the requirements of Regulation 82(2) of the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Regulations of 2002. You need to provide the following ( T ) information to assist with our assessment:
1. ( __ ) a current job offer letter from the prospective employer in Canada, explaining in detail: exactly what is the job on offer (position, duties, salary, place in company, etc.)
2. ( __ ) documentation from the prospective employer to demonstrate that their business operations are ongoing and will be able to provide you with sustained employment if you obtain an immigrant visa. Such
documentation could include: photographs of their business premises, business licence/registration, payroll, recent tax statements, trading accounts, company history, etc. The employer may already have provided similar information to Service Canada, but it is required now in the context of evaluating the genuineness of the job offer as part of your visa application. The employer should include details of any other foreign nationals they have hired after having obtained a job confirmation from Service Canada. The employer may send this information directly to our office .
3. ( __ ) a full and detailed explanation from the prospective employer of the process by which the vacancy came about in the employer's company, why an employee is being sought from outside Canada, and how you were found to qualify for and subsequently offered the job
4. ( __ ) a letter from you, explaining in detail the process by which you obtained the job offer from Canada
5. ( __ ) a reference from your current employer, explaining your job duties
6. ( __ ) your own description of your qualifying experience. Please write your own detailed explanation,
including examples of how you accomplished each task as stated in your job description.
7. ( __ ) a full and detailed explanation from you of how your qualifications and experience are relevant to the job being offered, and how you will be able to perform the job in Canada.
You should send this information within 90 days of the date of this letter. If you can demonstrate that you meet the requirements of R82, you will be awarded an additional 10 points under arranged employment, plus 5 points for adaptability on the selection grid under IRPA, and processing of your application will be prioritized
