Dear Sukh,

Thanks for the wishes. I am in sydney. I did my medicals during the cristmas time so there was a delay. My medicals were received by Singapore authorities on 6/01/2012. My wives medical caused some delays as she did her medicals in Canada and her DMP in hamilton send the results to ottawa after 21 days.

Hi dudegujrat,

I am not aware of the exact date when the NOC's got changed. Wait until you hear from your VO.

I hope this helps.

Hi Winedine,

Congrats for clearing first hurdle!!!. I have done BA and then a one year course of Cook from an institute. I have been working as a chef for the last 5 years in a small hotel.

My doubt is what did you write as your Highest level of education in Generic FormIMM0008. I believe you also have a similar case. Should I write
BA with total years of education as 16(15 BA + 1 year Course)? Also what did u use as POF ??

Please let me know all the details

Regards
Surender

I applied with my 2 year post graduate diploma, I was confused too as many said that my CIC needs only a post graduate degree. But I still went forward and applied with 17 years education ( 15 BA plus 2 PGDiploma ). And it worked! But again my PGDiploma was awarded by Indian National Council, Mumbai University. Please make appropriate inquiry before you apply.

POF - I went to my local bank and got a letter indicating that I have 12,000 canadian dollars.

As I read the new Matrix http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/html/Matrix.html I see that Chefs do have a new 63 Group, but they are still in the B Skill level. Just scroll across to the far left.

Hi WinenDine/Harsh,

What did you guys used to prove your years of education ? I mean If I have completed BA its a 15 years of education in India , So how can we prove it ?

If I am correct then they need proof of years of education as well.

Please reply and clear my doubts.

Thanks WinenDine for replying to my previous post.

I think the only way to prove it is your marksheets.

What I think for delay in getting the MR request may be partly due to the NOC code as well.

The reason I am thinking this way is because there are lots of Doctors and therapists who have received their MR in a short period of time after going into IN Process
