Nice link
Here is something related to us

Ms. Olivia Chow:
    Not in Canada.
    On another note, why did you move the administrative processing of skilled workers from Islamabad to London in...?
 
Mr. Rénald Gilbert:
    There are a number of reasons. One of the reasons is the conditions in Islamabad. It's very difficult, first of all, because of the security situation there, to increase the size of our staff. Essentially, we would have to increase the size of our staff when at any given point they're asked to stay at the compound, in their house. It's for security reasons, that part.
    We had the capacity to do it from London. London's already responsible for all the gulf countries, for instance. It was one more country. So what we're hoping for is to achieve efficiency out of it and allow Islamabad to concentrate actually on family class cases and on visitors where there is a significant challenge.

Mrs. Alice Wong:
    Thank you very much.
    Now, can you also explain how the challenges in your missions are different from the challenges that might be experienced in, say, London or Paris? I'm asking all of you.
 
Mr. Rénald Gilbert:
    I'm not sure with regard to really different challenges. Definitely, it's a question of the layout of the offices. Some constraints have to do with offices, more specifically.
    Communication is probably the key thing. One of our major problems in Africa, for instance, is communication with clients. In certain countries the mail system works very well; in some others it does not. We encourage offices as much as possible to use e-mail to communicate with clients more quickly, but not everybody has provided an e-mail address or has given us permission to use e-mail to communicate with them. So communication is probably one of the main things.
    Reliability of documents is also key. If we get a certificate from the police from the U.K. and one from Bangladesh, we may not look at them the same way. We sometimes have to do more verification in certain countries than we do in others. In some countries, the document simply does not exist, so we have to look at other ways to find out the information required.
Last para in red color is another reason for delay of cases in subcontinent.

Does British Council issues a duplicate IELTS test result card ?
My original result card is with CHC so if I have to prove my language abilities somewhere else then can I get a duplicate copy?

Hi forum mates. I found great information regarding Migrating in Canada here. I'll be flying by July and there are so many things to do still. So for those of you who are still waiting, do whatever you can in your preparation. When your visa arrives ... it will be such a blur... Goodluck to all of us!

Hi Salman!

I got 2nd copy from AEO without any problems. 2nd copy is always identical to 1st copy and no address written on it and it can be used any where. But British Council is very strict and they not gonna give easily. First try asking them if not then What you can do when you fill the form for extra TRF put some address of Pakistani institution and they will send there or you can put some of your friend's address and put it as some organisation. I think it would work.

Thanks

I think there is no need to write in Roman Urdu.
We can type it in Urdu script. It would be difficult but not impossible.
Just type your name in Google translate and translate it into Arabic or Urdu.
Once you get the right spellings just copy and paste it in the forms.

Salman

Dear All dont think that now a days ecases are ERRORS.

Pearl2010 is the buffalo applicant got decision made and then rejection letter.

Hi Friends,

There were lot of good news coming in these days and I thought my positive turn would be next, but it turned out to be negative and I have a sad story to share...

If u see our time line, my husband had applied under 0213 on Dec2009 (Full documents sent in may 2010) and everything was smooth till last Tuesday (31May) when our ecase changed to Decision Made. No processing date inside, same inprocess(RBVO) details with a last line saying ‘A decision has been made on ur case. The office will contact u concerning the decision'. We thought it might be the ongoing Ecase Error. But unfortunately, today we received rejection letter from Los Angeles VO dated May 26,2011 saying the following lines:

You have indicated that you have work experience in an occupation with the following NOC 0213-Computer & Information Systems Managers. Although the NOC code corresponds to the occupations specified in the Instructions, the main duties described in your employment letter from ------Company do not indicate that you performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation, as set out in the occupational descriptions of the NOC or that you performed all of the essential duties and a substantial number of the main duties, as set out in the occupational descriptions of the NOC. As such, I am not satisfied that you are a Computer and Information Systems Manager, NOC 0213.
Since you did not provide evidence that you have work experience in the listed occupations, you do not meet the requirements of the Ministerial Instructions and your application is not eligible for processing.

In fact, my husband had provided the original work exp letter with all the duties & responsibilities related to his exp as a Manager. Most of the duties & responsibilities in the original exp letter were same as the ones he had mentioned initially in the work experience column of the CIO-Sydney form .my question is, when the same points were considered eligible by the CIO-Sydney visa officer, what made the LA visa officer to reject when we had provided the original exp letter including the same points. Moreover, there were many constraints in obtaining the original exp letter.

Now he is planning to write a detailed re-consideration letter against the points of the Visa officer and he will be highlighting the CIO-Sydney point too. Also, I need valuable suggestions & prayers from all the forum friends to make this a positive turn.

Now, to whom should we address to? In some instances I have read ‘address to the Program Officer', who is the program officer? Is it the same visa officer or some higher officer?

Another important query...My husband has been writing research articles and has been published in online journals. Can this be mentioned in the re-consideration letter as this is purely technical in nature and they might not consider him to be a manager.

For all waiting here, stay positive and I wish good luck with your Canada immigration journey and whoever has got their maple leaf & those already landed in Canada, I wish u all a smooth & happy journey ahead.

All the Best
Regards
pearl2010
