Rana22april Bhai,

Pls note that I dont have the PNWS format from VO. Also Vo never asked me to send so but I sent it along with my updated documents in a format of my own. After reading your post with queries I felt that they are asking for the same information I provided. Thats why I sent this to you. You can type & print or write by pen but it must be clear to read. I agree with Badal bhai... type , print & sign. If u have no problem to send me a copy of the format provided by VO I can check & revert further advise.

  • IMM5669 - the Background form. go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5669E.PDF. Make sure there is no time gap in filling "Personal History"Police clearance - Apply for PCC as soon as possible. It takes 7 days. Though you know the process, however you might have forgot. Make sure you & your spouse have your address updated in the passports. For necessary info go to http://www.dmp.gov.bd/images/officepdf/282_Police%20Clearance.pdf. Fill in the application form - for Husband & wife - only one application to be made. Tk.500/- would require for each PCC as fees, to be deposited to Sonal bank. But all sonali bank branches do not do this. I done it from farmgate br. I heard it may be done from Zigatola br. Sobhan bag mosque br., Tejgaon registry office br.... do this. You can also check - http://www.sonalibank.com.bd/inland_branch.php. Call your nearby branches, whether they collect PCC fees.
    4 recent photo : as you have done earlier
    Right of permanent residence fee RPRF - As suggested by other forum members it is best to do from Standard Chartered Bank, Gulshan branch. - you will need the following as posted in this forum earlier :
    1. Primary application form.
    2. Copy of passport of you and your spouse.
    3. Marriage Certificate.
    4. Receipt from DMP.
    5. RPRF request letter.

    personal net worth statement (PNW) with evidence - this is the most important part. Requesting to houquebd, rana22april, badal789.. pls help him also. I got PNW format with the MR pack with barcode sticker attached. So i filled it hand written and signed.

Dear Hoquebd bhai,

I will send you scan copy of the formt provided by Visa office tomorrow as i dont have scanner machine at home.

I think in your case they only asked your PNWS without giving any format. But in my case, and Khan bhai's case we have been provided a specific format of 3 pages and I strongly believe, we just need to fill up the blanks by hand writing / electric typing machine with manual signature at the end.

After sending you the scan copy via email, I will raise my query and it will be easier for you to answer me.

Following the post of Badal789 bhai : http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/all-bangladeshi-applicants-forum-t19664.0.html;msg1916045#msg1916045 it is now the time to get prepared ourselves in advance. We all are now at same stage and many of us would get the visa soon. You might have already seen the Qorax post re. ther Resume writing in Canadian style. I have gone thru his post. It is really very interesting and a canadian resume is distinct from the other resume style. Try to apply the style to build your resume in word and save as "pdf". There is no harm/loss to try for jobs from now - as per Badal bhai's post. So build your Resume first. It's actually very precise, that is what they like. So far i searched sites for canadian resume - it's only of 2 pages, not more than that. Choosing suitable words are most important to summarize you qualification, achievements, expertise, that attract recruiters. In another Qorax post, he said - "A resume is viewed on average for only 10 to 15 seconds" Also check : http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/canadian-resume-writing-tips-t74394.0.html;msg1015003#msg1015003 - Helpfull tips are there

qorax said:
Resumé writing Tips
for the Canadian Job Market...



Basic Tips

Canadians use Resumés instead of CVs; and prefer computerised applications. The application process is much more commercial and as most employers will read resumes on the computer the resumé should fit a specific template and if it does not then it risks being rejected without a viewing.

Once the filter has 'found' your resumé, it might be read by a person who is not knowledgeable of the vacancy you are applying for - so it should be written to [1]sell yourself to almost any audience while at the same time being relevant to your target employer! [2]Bullet point words such as Contributed, Managed, Organized, Developed etc. at the start of a sentence for maximum impact.

The format for the Canadian Resumé is similar to the Chronological CV with the [3]length generally being 2 sides of A4. Your [4]name and contact details would be at the top centre followed by your [5]career history and work experience in reverse chronological order with the most recent job detailed first.

Mention whether your work was [6]full or part time and explain any gaps in your employment history. Within this provide [7]examples of your achievements and details of how you added "value" to your past/current employers/organization/company.

Following career history is your [8]educational history with a list of colleges and universities, date and qualifications obtained etc. Mentioning [9]foreign travel, language and computer skills is advantageous.

Finally close with [10]"References available on request" or on a separate page list up to 3 referee's with their contact information. Ensure before submitting your resume that you have checked that your contact details for referees are up to date and still current.


Types of Resumé

In general, Canadian employers look for an emphasis on experience and skills on a resume. This can be different from other places - which may put more emphasis on education or qualifications.

Your resumé should make it easy for an employer to see what skills you have, and exactly how those skills fit the job they are advertising. There are two (2) common types of resumé that you can use. Both have strengths and weaknesses.

A. Skills Based Resumé
_______________________________________________________________________
A Skills based resumé emphasizes your skills rather than your experience or your education. The first and most noticeable section of a skills based resumé should be a brief outline of the skills you have, where you applied them before, and how you feel they can help you contribute to a job.

When to use it
Skills based resumés are best for job hunters without a lot of experience. This is a common form of resumé for new graduates entering the job market for the first time and "newcomers" to Canada who may not have North American work experience. Skills based resumés are best used for jobs that require cross-applicable skills. E.g., a job hunter who has good writing skills can apply those skills in a variety of different jobs.

Upsides
A good skills based resumé clearly demonstrates how your skills fit the job you are looking for, even if you have never worked in your field before. Newcomers can use skills based resumé to show how their overseas experience is relevant to the Canadian employment market.

Downsides
Skills based resumé can underplay or hide qualifications that an employer may be looking for, especially in technical fields like engineering. If you use a skills based resumé, be sure that you still mention your professional qualifications.

B. Chronological Resumé
_______________________________________________________________________
A chronological resumé lists your education and work experience in reverse order, from your latest job to your earliest. This is probably the most common type of Resumé used here [Canada] - and explained in detail in the earlier part of this thread.

A good chronological resumé is more than just a list of jobs and education, it should briefly outline the skills you learned and the contributions you made at each stage. Employers want to know that you learned from your experience and have made positive contribution/s in your career.

When to use it
Chronological resumés are often used by people with lots of experience in their field. People with heavy work experience can point to their past history of success. Employers like to see a track-record of success. Chronological resumés are common in technical and regulated professions, viz. Engineering, Accounting, Medical etc. 'coz they demonstrate a solid history of work experience to a potential employer. They also make it easy for employers to see our qualifications, certifications & licenses.

Upsides
A chronological resumé can be a great way to draw attention to our professional qualifications, education and work history.

Downsides
Many chronological resumés make the mistake of only showing work history, not an explanation of skills and experience gained from that experience. Chronological resumés with lots of experience from outside Canada, or outside North America, may not be easy for an employer here [in Canada] to understand.

Note: Nonetheless, Chronological Resumé is yet our best bet to showcase our strengths - especially for newcomers with wide ranging experience/s - basically for senior level immigrants.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW
As most of us are going to hit the 'Survival' job market initially - our first few resumés should rather be Skills Based - at least for the 1st few months, till we reach the Intermediate Stage [size=10pt][pls read my other thread on "How to Succeed in the Canadian Job Market"]
. It'd be wise to keep ready both sets of the resumés - one for the starter jobs, while the other for our 'coveted' jobs. And posting the chronological ones intermittently to select few prospective employers [not at mass level].[/size]



Cover Letter

The importance of a cover letter cannot be enough emphasized... it must accompany your resumé. The cover letter acts as an introduction, telling the employer you are interested in working for their company.

If you can, take time to write an individualized cover letter for each resumé you send. Learn about the company and the job that you are seeking. Then you can tell the employer why you are the right person to work there.

Avoid the use of the word “I” too much. You want to boast a bit, but not too much. You might instead use some “power words” - such as Innovation, Advanced, Professional, Proven, Inspired, Introduced, Directed, Launched and Delivered. These words help catch the attention of an employer.

• In the cover letter you should clearly state the job that you are seeking.
• It should include a reference on how your skills match what the employer is looking for.
• Your letter should look professional but friendly. It should be no more than one page.
• It should contain no spelling, grammar or punctuation errors. Have someone check it for you.
• It should show the employer that your communication skills are strong.
• It should contain a brief statement about your skills and experience, but don't go into detail - it'd be there in the resume.
• Avoid clichés - the kinds of things that everybody says. Just use your own words and try your personality to shine through!


Networking to increase Opportunities

The buzzword of this millennia is NETWORKING. It had never been as important as it is now. Today, not just a job, probably networking helps us with every facet of our life... it's a necessity nowadays. Besides, being thus far away from our homeland - our relatives/friends - it is the newer relationships that we nurture here - that'd assist us when in need - actually friends here would eventually get to become/replace our relatives! Check that with a guy here, in Canada, who had really been in trouble!!!

It's the one very good way to also find a job - building relationships can notify you of vacancies. As stated time-n-again on the forums, many jobs in Canada aren't advertised. They are part of what is called the “hidden job market”. News of these jobs is communicated just by people talking to each other. Even the nuances of these openings - who'd take interview, his/her nature, what to expect, what to talk, what to write/portray, how much is in offer, what to ask etc. would be communicated as word-of-mouth.

That is why it is important to network - to meet and interact with as many people as you can. As you increase the number of people you know, you increase the chance of hearing about jobs that may not be advertised.

You can network by meeting and talking to teachers, counsellors, neighbours, people in your place of worship or at the school or sports centre where your children go. You can network at social occasions such as parties or weddings, or you can network by joining business organizations or community clubs or social groups. And you can network by making friends! Break-the-ice wherever you can, buddies!

Tip
Networking is a way to make friends and business connections - not to ask people to give you a job. If you do that - your new contacts may grow uncomfortable and not want to meet you at all. Ask new contacts instead about the type of work they do. Tell them that your are a newcomer, had been doing such-n-such in your erstwhile country - have these skills & now looking forward to utilizing those here. Never, ever ask for jobs!

Remember: You'll also find that networking will build other skills. You will be able to practice your language skills, you'll get to know about the city, the way things work here, about places of interest [sometimes - many times, googling won't come-up with those], learn more about the Canadian culture, you'd meet "like-minded" acquaintances - they'd go on to become your great friends -- and your self confidence will increase.

Why the Canadian Resumé got to be different, is it a hype?

Most International Resumés contain private and personal information that goes against Anti-Discrimination laws in both Canada and the U.S. If any of them, including the photos, are included in an existing resumé, it may be overlooked by the hiring Manager or Human Resource Specialist, losing the opportunity to be selected for an interview.

Recap: Canadian job market looks for a resumé format (word), size (3 pages only - including cover letter), language (Canadian English), style (bulleted, indented, textual), content (objective, education and professional background, skills - soft and hard, etc., etc.).

There are some differences within Canada itself with regard to job search. In English-speaking Canada you have to actively market yourself but in the French part of Canada it is more formal. But, a different type of resumé sure is needed here. Thus, we cannot overlook modifying our CVs into a Canadian styled Resumé... and it's not a hype.

Some "Fast-Tips" for preparing
our Canadian Resumé


1/ Begin as soon as you can to collect references.
Trying to get these from your country of origin may take time.

2/ Print your resume on high-quality white paper.
Use the same paper for your cover letter and if possible use a laser printer.

3/ Do not include personal information such as age, marital status or religion.
You also do not have to mention your country of origin or ethnicity,
although it may be clear by your education and work record.

4/ Do not include a photograph of yourself.
There's just no need of that in Canada - at least for the time being!

5/ Have an employment counsellor review your resume with you
and have someone check it carefully for spelling and typos.

6/ Always tell the truth.

Dear Hoquebd bhai,

I will send you scan copy of the formt provided by Visa office tomorrow as i dont have scanner machine at home.

I think in your case they only asked your PNWS without giving any format. But in my case, and Khan bhai's case we have been provided a specific format of 3 pages and I strongly believe, we just need to fill up the blanks by hand writing / electric typing machine with manual signature at the end.

After sending you the scan copy via email, I will raise my query and it will be easier for you to answer me.
Yes you are right . As this format includes barcode of your file no you must send it duly filled & signed.
Ok after getting the form I will talk with you.
