    Aha! Absolutely. Makes real sense. Thanks Pippin. Any challengers?

    Educational Qualification to be Eligible for one of the 29 Occupations?

    You have a point there. But still, it is all relative then, innit? In absence of clear written instruction for the case officer, their judgment may sway either way. Really? Can I tell them that I have experience in more than one of the 29 qualifying occupations and ask them to consider my...

    Unfair decision

    If it was posted from Pakistan just three days before the initial acceptance expired, there's no way that it would've reached the London visa office in time to meet the deadline. I know I should be careful in saying this but it seems quite likely that your consultant messed it up. As Pippin...

    Unfair decision

    Hi Shoaib. Sorry to know about your situation. Could you please post again with specific timeline of your application process? It will be interesting to see the specific dates on which the CIC received your initial application and the visa office received your detailed application. I think...

    Post 26/6 incomplete application returned

    Hello DesiMike. I can see that there's been no further post for a long time now in this topic you started. Just wondering how did it go in the end? Did you contest for your reservation in the queue i.e. the pool of capped applicants? Were you successful in contesting it? Or did you re-submit...

    Past Employer Taken Over by a Different Company

    Thanks asyousuf. If that worked for you then learning about it is quite relieving for me too. I think I should also write an explanation letter along with whatever information I can gather including a personal reference letter from my former boss. If you have a minute or two, could you please...

    Past Employer Taken Over by a Different Company

    I have another question about the evidence of past experience. How can I show my experience if the company that I used to work for about 8 years ago has gone through major changes. Since I left, first it was re-incorporated with a different name. Then a year later it was merged into another...

    Educational Qualification to be Eligible for one of the 29 Occupations?

    Thanks Mandie. Your post is certainly informative. I see under your name on the left that you have also applied under an occupation which is a regulated occupation, even though you do not have a specifically social work degree. Therefore, your situation can form the best example/precedent to...

    Is Self-certification of the Experience Permissible/Admissible?

    Can anybody tell me whether self-certification will be accepted by the CIC? By self-certification I mean: writing an experience certificate for yourself, by yourself. That is in the case of a self-employed person, who doesn't have an 'incorporated entity' possessing a logo and letterhead etc...

    Educational Qualification to be Eligible for one of the 29 Occupations?

    Okay now this is getting interesting (and confusing?). I did a quick Google search for immigration lawyers inside Canada and started contacting them one by one over the phone asking them what I asked in the first post here. Couldn't speak with the lawyer of the firm which has provided this very...

    Educational Qualification to be Eligible for one of the 29 Occupations?

    Thanks Hasni. My understanding was that those educational requirements are for filling a job vacancy within Canada but if somebody has already acquired experience in past in a different country where such requirements didn't prevail, that applicant's experience will be acceptable by the CIC. I...

    Educational Qualification to be Eligible for one of the 29 Occupations?

    Hello. I have a very basic yet least discussed question, the answer to which might help many others too. Does an applicant have to have specific or specialist educational qualification related to the occupation under which they're claiming eligibility (after having worked in that occupation...
