Ah! of course...thanks Lily. Here is what I have learnt so far: -First you need to be accepted by a College or University in Canada. -Once you have received the acceptance letter then you need to start getting all your proofs together including proof of funds. -You would need to complete all...

Hi Lily! Greetings and good luck with your application. From what I gather, it seems to be better if your spouse/partner applies AFTER you have been successfully issued by a Visa. Although to be honest I think a Visa Officer would also be suspicious if you were going to leave your significant...

Thank you charninder and jaiwan for your good advice! I am not quite ready to apply as yet I am still doing my current Diploma in Management and Leadership. I graduate next May, and am planning on a trip to Ontario probably in June to visit our friends and go and check out the college, talk to...

Hi folks Hope everyone is well. I have been away from this forum for a while so please forgive me if the questions I am about to ask have been posted (and answered) before.... Back in 2008 my husband and I had applied for PR under the Skilled Worker scheme, however our application was not...

Hi Syed My rejection letter came pretty quickly (within 2 weeks) of when it said "decision made" on the CIC status check page. I applied in London in April 08. My occupation is not on the 38 List. The rejection letter says the refund will be made within next 6 months (guess they're in a hurry...

Well done mate! All the best to you and your family, you have something good to look forward to in 2009!

Ha ha you guys cracked me up with your quips about the weather, noisy neighbours, badly built condos and the rich "Albertans"...thank you so much to all of you (and for cheering me up too!). The information you gave me is really, really good and will help me make an informed choice. I agree...

Hi Black Haired Guy It's not the end of the world if we don't go to Canada, I mean we're not starving or homeless here in the UK. The UK is in a very deep recession, there is also a lot of crime here and all you hear about is stabbings, gun crime and burglaries in the East London area where we...

Since it looks like our application for FSW has been rejected, my husband is still wishing to explore other options and one of the possibilities is for me to enrol in a Canadian college/uni as an international mature student (if I read correctly my husband would be able to get an open work...

I checked my application status on line via CIC website and it says "Decision made" which from reading previous posts on this forum I gather means bad news. I applied in London in April 08, and they started "processing" my case in June 08. So anyone who applied similar time as me, maybe you...

Hi samg123....I did mention on another of your posts that we are not on the list i.e. administrative office/civil service or welfare officer. Although there is a NOC for these positions, they are not on the 38 list which means that our applications will be returned with a refund. Sorry, I am...

Guys, I recall reading somewhere (over the summer, before the new rules were posted) that of the applications that were NOT on the new list, some would be rejected outright whilst some others would be kept for future processing....has anyone heard any more about this "future processing"? Have...

are you in the UK samg123? I work for a local authority as a benefits officer in East London. We're not on the list mate, seems our skills are not 'important' enough. If you're serious about moving to Canada only way is to try and get job offer/AEO. Easier said than done, as most employers...

I think there are different policies in place depending in which country you are. I am told that if you're in the UK, they will accept deeds to a property, or mortgage statement from the bank showing what equity you have in the house as proof of capital. Not sure about other countries...you'll...

You rock Leon! Thanks mate.

Leon - out of interest what's the deal with QSW? My French is a bit rusty but I guess with some private coaching and practice it should not take me more than 3 - 6 months to come up to scratch again. Do you need a job offer/LMO/AEO to apply for QSW? Many thanks. PS Hope you're having a good...

Thanks and good luck UAE - I know speculation is rife at the moment, but has anyone actually got a rejection letter yet? We'll just have to wait and see. I keep thinking about how the CIC website says "Unless the Minister instructs otherwise..." are they leaving a small window open there? It...

Do you know under which NOC your lawyer is thinking of pursuing your application? if, and I mean IF this is true then I guess this would help quite a lot of us with experience in office administration, Customer Service etc....

Alvin, I am in your same situation - I too am a Government officer (Welfare) here in the UK and I wholeheartedly agree with you that it feels most unfair that the regulations surrounding the list of 38 occupations is to be applied retrospectively back to Feb 08. Obviously what I say doesn't...

Oh KGB, what did you start?!!! lol When I said I would be prepared to work as waitress I didn't mean that's what I'd be aspiring to do if I went there! It was just to drive home my point that I'd rather do an honest menial job than sponge off the state. As for how we'd feel in the UK if...
