Folks who have already received MR, how long did it take for the VO to send you MR (1) after receiving PER or (2) after sending your police certificates (relevant for those who sent any PCs after application submission. Thanks.

Guys Is it unusual for the visa office to ask an applicant to submit police certificates and then go totally silent for 6 weeks (and counting)? I have copies of the certificates and I know those cannot be any basis of silence. In short, just trying to understand from experienced applicants...

Just received PER email a minute ago. Its 7:15pm Hong Kong time.... Didn't know they work before 9am at CIC. Anyway.... Good luck everyone.

Actually, I was charged yesterday NS time. It was wee hours in Hong Kong in today's date ie 27th May.

Lol dude you need take this less seriously. There is no point of this outpour. Let's keep observing if CC charges continue. Beyond May 01, its May 02 and in a weeks time we will have many confirmations if the CIC has kicked off the process. But you need to chill out my friend. Its only good...

CIC could take as much as another month or more to update. But on this forum we have some 5-6 very early birds who got their applications to CIC on 01-May and have mentioned CC as their mode of payment. So these applicants will give us the first hints of processing and then we could go by...

A friend asking: - Hes sent english translations - Certified copy of original of native language docs But... - Photocopy of the Affidavit instead of the original one. I read guidance and its not entirely clear if this is a big mistake or a non-issue. Any opinions on this?

Re: FSW 2014 WHAT IS THE EXACT CAP on NOCs? Quote: "No one would like a concentration...." and then you're saying Vancouver would be a good choice? Clearly, you know little about Vancouver and deluge of Asian immigration into that city for last 20 odd years...

During entire May, just apply and try your luck. I wouldn't apply in June if I were you to be honest. But in May, you might stand a chance even up to last week perhaps. It's quite simple. Last year there were hardly any applications during first week of FSW2013 (all applicants awaiting...

Your photo size is correct. Google IMM 7000, in that specific guidance for FSWP applicants, read photo specs from appendix A. Cheers

Could you paste the link for this guideline. It sounds like UK visa guidance more than CIC guidance?

Just wondering how bad could it be if Principal Applicants UCI is mentioned on spouse and child's UCI box with a post-it stick on in saying "Assumed to be same as Principal Applicant"?

Someone posted an interesting comment. FSW2013 sheet shows an application reached 15th April got charged on 1st May (which is not a holiday in Canada). That shows the low workload at CIO. We might have CIO begin processing FSW2014 applications as early as 3rd week of May....

Just bear in mind that this discussion thread and its Excel sheet is a tiny fraction of the pool. It is a huge suspense how long it takes to fill up quota. Last year applications for the MOST prepared candidates was put on hold as ECAs were required to be ON or AFTER 17 April 2013 which...

Strongly disagree with all these 'waiting' advices. Just apply guys, just go ahead IF you believe your packet is complete. And btw, FSW2013 started on 4th May so new forms on 3rd May is no basis to wait this year.

cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp Last Modified Date for the page above has changed to today 01-May-2014 with no changes to forms. Detailed guidance IMM0007 has not changed.

1112 may not be as hot as last year because more finance NOCs are open now. But that said, nobody will be waiting for ECA this time and all those subject to cap last year will move fast. Its anyone's guess how long it will take for 1112 to fill up.

Date received matters. Date signed doesn't.

I am constantly reading cautions regarding change of forms. I can understand that unexpected changes to forms in May 2013 makes a precedent to be wary of but let's also think critically about this instead of just being fearful. 2013 FSW program had major changes after the complete halt of the...
