@professional 1: You may be correct.

But last time when I submitted leaving blanks, CIO did process and assess my file and gave file number starting with B which i can see online still today. After assessment, CIO emailed me that I am not eligible as no sufficient proofs of residing in Canada.

Let's see what happens this time...What you say?

Kali,

I think first time it was by mistake, because i have seen many applications in this forum sent back to the applicants because of that specific reason. Do not forget that they recomend in their website not to leave any blanks on the application forms.

However, i hope this time they treat your application same way.

Good luck.

@professional 1: In background declaration form, under Military Service section, I have written "NONE" only in the first box and left blank in the rest of box under Military service section. Similarly in the organization membership and government postion, I have written "NONE" only each time in both and rest box under them are blank.

Will this be problem too ? It was not problem in my last application.

@Kali,

I dont think that will be a problem, because i did the same way writing "N/A" in a particular section and not in every column in that section. this was when i sent my application in october. the application was sent back but not with this reason. it was due to the job duties document not provided.

I hope this time be the same way.

It shouldn't be a problem at all i got my approval from the CIO without adding any extra sheets for the job description. Do not worry.
@Professional1
I am not sure whether they need an extra sheet or not, but they have mentioned in my returned application package need more details about your job responsibilities and duties. I thought the space provided is not going to be sufficient enough for me, so i added an extra sheet to explain the duties.

Sorry for the late answer because am doing my final tests these days.

You mean question number 12, it is enough to write "None" in the provided space for the answer as they state in their instructions.

For me, just to be in the safe side, I wrote, in the first blank in question number "12" ( I have never undertaken any military service), and i wrote "None" in the first space on the below table, and "None" on the space provided for the name of the country and "None" in the first space on the below table

For sure sending an extra sheet of paper ( if needed) containing all of the job description details would be better to avoid any ambiguity regarding the job description.

For me, i have not done that because i was able to write a comprehensive short description about all of my job duties in the provided spaces within the application forms.

However, if anyone feel that the available spaces are not enough regarding to any question in any field of the application forms not only the job duties, he must attach seperate sheets to cover all of the required information.

I applied for FSW Category 3 on January 4th and they received my application on the 6th. Fingers crossed...I did not use additional sheets to explain job duties and besides for proof of 12 month stay in canada i showed study permit copies and degree certificate copy along with passport entry stamps...I did a one year MBA here. I also attached the copy of my PG Work permit, however did not attach the letter from employer..Hope this is not a problem...anyways fingers crossed....other FSW 3 folks, please feel free to email me anytime at tugga82@gmail.com

Hi I am also in this category, there is very little information about it.

My timeline so far
Submitted Application to Sydney - October 15
Recieved email from CIC Sydney - December 18

Right now I am just finalising documents to be sent to Buffolo.

My work permit is expire and I am worried about getting an LMO - Do you know if you have to reside as a worker/student for the duration of the permanent process? Or can I stay in Canada as a visitor.....
