That's probably true. I wish they were more transparent in their work. They could post all the information they have internally on e-cas, so we could immediately know what its happening.

Thanks, I hope they will open my application soon.

Thanks, I hope they will open my application soon.

Do wait a few more days and call them back again.

I am about to apply under the PhD stream. I have a few questions:
1, Is age 35 a watershed in terms of points? Where is that stated? I did not find it on Immigration Canada's website.
2, Does my previous work experience (in my home country) have to be related to my discipline now?
3, Do I have to provide proof letters for all my previous work experience? That is a lot of trouble...
Many thanks.

what do you mean?

Hi McKnight

Sorry for the typo. I meant which processing center did you apply to? I applied to CPP-O (filled as an option in provided space) a month ago but have not heard back since. No cc nothing. Wondering what is happening ???

Your application is only sent to the VO after passing eligibility phase. If you haven't gotten your application charged it still at CIC.

I guess this wizard may be useful for your 1rst inquiry.

About the third one, you may need to get them all or only some for the years you require to become eligible as the wizard mentions. However, I know that they may request exp. ref. letters in a next stage, I would refer you to this guide:

Thank you salam 20. I called a lawyer today and he said the 35 thing does not apply. But the wizard does indicate there is a difference for those younger and older than 35.
I will try to get all my work experience proof. I am thinking of having them written in English, then I won't need to have them translated. I wonder if I will still need to have them notarized. Let me check Guide 7000.

I am not sure about the notarization, it is mentioned but i did not do it, did anybody do the same and got his application charged or got PER?

Based on what is there in the guide and the CIC Web site, and if my understanding is correct, notarization is only required for translated documents.

Hi,

I want to share with you what i did in regards to OHIP. I applied for OHIP based on the PER email I received from CIC. They rejected my request because they were looking for an official letter from CIC not an email!. They gave me an eligibility assessment form which state the reason of decline. I appealed against the decision. I sent that form along with PER email, any document that prove that I have an address in Ontario and a cover letter to describe my case. That is, based on the PER email, I am eligible for OHIP but i was rejected because i don't have a letter from CIC which CIC don't issue anymore. OHIP sent me back a form to sign which they submitted to CIC to check my immigration status. They replied to me with the a letter confirming that I am eligible for OHIP for one year that can be renewed for another year. Now I have OHIP coverage ;D. Of course you should take that letter with other documents to any service Ontario office to apply for OHIP.

For those of you who have dependents, I did not apply for my wife at the first time and now I am going through the whole process again hoping that she will be granted OHIP. So, when you go to Service Ontario office for the first time, take your dependents with you just to get the eligibility assessment form "request denial" for all of them and then include them in your appeal. Don't forget to submit any related documents (i.e. tax assessment report for your wife that shows her address in Ontario). Check service Ontario website for required documents.

WIsh you the best,

Hi there, thanks for sharing this awesome news, ;D. one question here, where did you send that eligibility assessment form along with your PER e-mail. Because when I also visited them (Service Ontario Office), they told me that they needed a hardcopy of PER. (. Do you think I should go again? and should I tell them there that I'd like to appeal their decision (for not giving me OHIP due to the absence of PER letter, I mean hardcopy)?

Thanks again for your info. ;D ;D ;D

 

[aelatar]

The address is on the eligibility assessment form that they will give you. Just print out the PER email and tell them that CIC don't issue that letter anymore, instead, they send the PER email. For the appeal, for Just tell them that I need this form to appeal against their decision. It is your right.

My previous work experience was in China. I am thinking of asking my previous supervisors to write the proof in English. Is it OK if it is a Chinese company? For the transnational company, I think it should be OK.

Has anybody does this before? Having your work experience written in English although it is from a non-English speaking country?

Thanks.

 

[TyrusX]

I did that, not big problems so far.

Oh, Thanks, dude for the reply. well, how long did it take for you to appeal their decision?
