Thank you all very much. At the same time, please accept my apologies as I could not reply earlier, reason being, I don't have access to internet while I am at work. In response to a few questions;
1. No, I did not receive my original IELTS result back from CHC Islamabad.
2. I paid RPRF at standard chartered.
3. I used TCS to send my passports to CHC.
4. I sent bank statement only.
5. It took approximately two weeks to get the passports back.
6. My IELTS score was 12.
7. The breakdown of my points is;
Age = 10
Education = 20 (I did BA from Pakistan and went to USA to live with my uncle. In USA, I completed college level programs in Cooking)
Experience = 21
Wife's Education (BA) = 4
Language = 12
Total Points = 67
When I applied, lots of people in my social circle and at my work place criticised and some even made fun that I would not be able to make it through the process because I am a Cook. Also, this profession is not well regarded in Pakistan. But for me, this has been a passion to learn Cooking and work for a five star hotel. I am planning to complete the advanced level Cooking programs in Canada to step up and get myself involved into more diversified role as a Chef and then Head Chef.
I am thankful to you all again. I will keep visiting this forum on and off and would be more than happy to answer any questions you have. And yes, whoever of you wants to enjoy nice food cooked by me, please be my guest. The condition is that you will have to come to Lahore
.
Take care,
Asim Gujjar.
