@legalfalcon

Hi,

Hope you are doing well & thank you for always helping others.

I have this question for you, can you please take time to look into it & please suggest?

I got reference letter from H.R. which doesn't have roles & responsibilities & exact start date of my position, instead it states when i joined company. I was promoted to skilled level job but as i said it doesn't states exact date of it.

I have copy of email conversation between myself, hr & my marketing manager who asked hr to give ref letter as per cic requirements.

Eventually, my marketing manager gave me letter as per cic requirements except it's not on letterhead, but he attached his company card & contact details like company email & cell no.

I also attached paystubs & t4's.

Will this work?

Regards
Can you get more reference letters from your colleagues, supervisors, or clients. Even though this will help, if you can have 1-2 more letters that state that you have the same job duties, and these letters can be on a plain paper, preferably notarized that would be enough.

You should also submit a LoE to explain this situation.

Thanks. Just one more question. I had applied both for work permit and PR. Now i have received my work permit and would be entering Canada on the same while PR is pending. So, once i come to Canada what intimation i need to give to CIC such as address update etc otherwise they would keep considering my VO as NDVO. And how to intimate?
When you enter Canada on a work permit, you will need to inform IRCC of the change of address and let them know of your status in Canada. You can do this online.

See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/change-address.asp#canada

Also raise a CSE and and send them a copy of your work permit and the landing stamp in Canada.

Hey @legalfalcon ,

Thanks for replying but I only report to my marketing manager so he is the only one who knows my roles & responsibilities as I am store manager.

And i already have Loe which has copy of email conversation, T4s, paystubs & both letters from Hr & marketing manager. I have explained whole situation but i wasn't able to notarize the letter.

Please, would you share your experience that you got from here regarding this then?

Regards

The documents you have are sufficient, but to corroborate have additional documents from anyone, even a colleague helps make the case stronger. In you case the email conversation will be helpful. If you can, get the letter notarized. If possible.

When an organization refuses to give the job duties, what you have done is sufficient. But I always advise to go with 2-3 letters from colleagues or supervisors. This helps in corroboration of what you state.

The validity is 6 months. If you do get the passport renewed you can raise a CSE and send the scanned copies of the document.

I don't go what people say. If there is a link, show it, or a document to back it up. Last I checked it was 6 months.

Many countries won't even renew a passport if the current one is valid for more than 6 months.

Thanks. Just some clarification - for the change of address, would i do it as per in canada or outside canada part? Secondly, can this and the work permit copy be sent in 1 CSE together or have to be done differently?

Use the in Canada link.

The change of address is different from the CSE. You will have to do it separately.

Hello Legalfalcon,
1) After CSE, how long does IRCC take before updating application? Haven't received any email from them yet.It has been more than a month now since we created CSE to upload additional documents. Our medicals are not cleared yet.

2) Does calling them or sending email to confirm CSE update or to request updating documents provided with CSE to the application makes sense? What is the best way to request them to update application with CSE. Please share IRCC phone number and IRCC email ID if you have.

3) Also, what is the best time to request GSMS notes?

4) We applied for PR with PNP nomination with expired in May. Should we request the province for nomination extension?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Legalfalcon,
1) After CSE, how long does IRCC take before updating application? Haven't received any email from them yet.It has been more than a month now since we created CSE to upload additional documents. Our medicals are not cleared yet.
Usually a month.


2) Does calling them or sending email to confirm CSE update or to request updating documents provided with CSE to the application makes sense? What is the best way to request them to update application with CSE. Please share IRCC phone number and IRCC email ID if you have.
Yes. If it has been a long time, you should call and send email.

3) Also, what is the best time to request GSMS notes?
45 days after AoR, by this time R10 is clear and eligibility may be under review.

4) We applied for PR with PNP nomination with expired in May. Should we request the province for nomination extension?
No need for an extension from the Province as the date on which you sent the application, your application was locked and even if the PNP nomination expired, it will not effect your application.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @legalfalcon

Please can you assist:

I emailed CPC-Ottawa the other day and they have replied to say that my application is no longer at their offices and has been transferred to my LVO (Pretoria). I have had no update in my CIC profile with BG been stuck on NS since early March.

They also mentioned that I should pay the RPRF which I did yesterday (although it was mentioned in the body of the email and wasn't an official request form such as others have received).

Can someone please give me an indication as to what stage my application is at as well as a ball park figure for when I can expect PPR from this point?

What do you mean by "wasn't an official request"? Did you get it via email from a CIC email id?
