Thx for sharing and updating!

[jnathan]

any significant update?
The only update I know is that PR holders must stay in Canada for 3 years in 4 years time. Previously it was 3 years in 5 years.

where's that? I can't see it on the document.

any significant update?

"Section 7.2 – Updated note in this section to state that the CIO will not reject applications that do
not include police certificates provided it is complete in all other respects."

Other clarifications include:

1)  CIO does not investigate whether an applicant has chosen the correct visa office.  If the visa office is left blank, the application is returned.  If it is completed, then this part of the application is considered complete.
2)  If CIO determines that the application is complete, then it is put into "processing" and no refund of the application fee is possible.

Doesn't state what happens if the selected visa office receives a file that is not eligible for processing at that visa office -

seniors can say something. I think I heard it a few days ago. Shibuya or someoen posted something similar to that news.

hi all'

any update about ielts LANG?
I READ BUT SOMETHING I DIDINT UNDERSTANAD/

For applications received before June 26, 2010, kit and website instructions make it clear that it is
the responsibility of the applicant to choose which of these two options to follow, and outline the
consequences of this decision. The instructions in the kit:
 strongly advise taking a test from an designated organization if English and/or French is not
the applicant's native language;
 strongly advise prospective applicants that, unless they believe they can clearly establish the
proficiency levels they claim through the means of a written explanation detailing training in
and usage of the language and supported by written proof of education and/or employment
using the language, they should undertake an approved test and provide results;
 provide Web site links to the test equivalencies tables, so prospective applicants can
determine how many points for language their test scores will earn them;
 provide Web site links to the Canadian Language Benchmarks 2000 / Niveaux de
compétence linguistique canadiens 2006 so those applicants providing written submissions
will be able to review the standards against which their submissions will be weighed;
 inform applicants that the results of any language tests by non-designated testing
organizations will not be considered as evidence of language proficiency
_______________________________________
Note: Points for the applicant‘s language proficiency are generally awarded according to evidence
provided at the time the application is made. However, if further study, training, or testing is completed
and documentation submitted between the time of application and the time of assessment, officers will
use the most current results to determine point allocations. In terms of designated language test
results, officers will NOT select the highest score for each language ability from a variety of test score
submissions. It is always the most recent group of tests that will be considered by officer as it is the
most current assessment of the applicant‘s four language abilities

Don't know what your question is.  If you applied after June 26, 2010, these rules do not apply to you.

It means that if an application was received before April 20, 2010, and it did not include IELTS results, the VO could ask the applicant to submit the results.   On or after April 20, the VO could only consider the evidence submitted with the application.  (After June 26, all applications required the test results to be submitted at the time of the application, or else the application would be returned). 

Yes, in 2010, there have been 2 rule changes regarding evidence of language proficiency.

If you applied after April 10/10, with written proof of you language ability, you DON"T get a second chance to provide an IELTs score.
