FAQ

[computergeek]

You have three options at this point:

(1) You can send in additional evidence supporting your claim of working at the first restaurant (letters, pay stubs, other records, etc.) This is a "request for reconsideration" and must be submitted to the program manager (this is described in the processing manuals on the CIC website). In general, they will NOT acknowledge receipt of your materials nor will they tell you they review them because they do not wish to extend your 60 day deadline. In the unlikely event they decide you have made your case, they would advise you - but otherwise you won't hear anything.

(2) You can appeal the decision. This must be done within 60 days of the decision and requires filing in Federal Court an "application for judicial review". You really should use an experienced Canadian attorney for doing this sort of thing. If you do not have an attorney, I would suggest reviewing recent court decisions (http://decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/index.html) and find decisions that match your case and were successful. In each decision the attorney representing the applicant is listed - this will allow you to find an attorney who has demonstrated experience in similar matters.

(3) You can file a new application. This time you should present stronger evidence that supports your claim for experience - sending in the same evidence is not likely to be persuasive.

Note that these are not mutually exclusive - you could do (1) while pursuing (2), although if you wish to pursue (2) I would NOT do (1) without consulting with your attorney. You can do (3) at any time (assuming that your NOC is still required, of course.)

I am sorry they denied your application - that's discouraging, particularly after Sydney already evaluated it and determined you had sufficient points.

Good luck, regardless of what you decide to do!

This is normal: the expiration is generally at least two months (if it's less you can actually ask the visa office to extend it according to the operational manuals). It normally corresponds to the expiration of your medical results or it corresponds to the expiration date of your passport, whichever is less.

You can land in Canada at any point up to that time. If you are not ready to actually move to Canada, you can go back home, settle your affairs and then move (just do it within three years, otherwise you have a different problem.)

The permanent resident card you receive will be valid for five years (you must be present in Canada two of those five years to satisfy the residency requirement).

Congratulations and good luck!

Dear All,
I require a valuable help regarding which agency is best for educational certificate validation for indian education.
What is the procedure for it if some one has already done it?
How much fees required for it?
does verification certificate as well transcript both necessary to obtain?

You have 60 days from the date of that decision to appeal if you think there are grounds for doing so. "Appeal" in this case is to file an application with the Federal Court requesting judicial review. The Court will only hear appeals of law or process, so unless the decision is fairly obviously wrong it probably isn't worth going this route. For what its worth, unless you are familiar with Canadian Federal legal practice, you would best be served by engaging the services of a qualified immigration lawyer to pursue this route.

The only other option that you have is to request reconsideration by the visa office.

I hope that I'm wrong...
