Applications after 26/6 in any NOC CONNECT HERE TO GET THE STATUS

[JINCYMARAMON]

I think we can add in the letter that the 3 month requirement for PCC is fair for the current residence. If someone has stayed for a few years in another country few years back, it doesnt make sense to get a fresh one. How can you break a law of that country if you are not there anymore?

I agree with u,I lived in qatar for 4 years and left,and I never re-entered to that country,again,so how could I apply for another PCC?

IMO worse case scenario is that visa office will ask for fresh PCCs if it wants them.

True, and that could mean a long delay for some, not just people from the US, I believe other people spoke up before about delays in their countries.

Nevertheless, I can see that this issue is not important to everyone, and I will deal with it on my own... unless enough people also find it worthy of mention...

Thanks,

Lets see if those points will be taken into consideration.

I think it may be worth mentioning in the letter. CIC may be unaware of the delays in some countries, and it's unreasonable to expect people to just GUESS when visa office will write to them asking for PCC, but likewise a delay of 5 months at the visa office end will not only frustrate the applicants, it will also look very bad on their finalisation figures.

Another point about PCCs. If the visa office contacts applicants immediately upon receipt of their application and asks for PCCs, and we know that processing at the VO is over 6 months, then the problem is solved. Because by the time the application is reaching the final stage, everyone has had enough time to get their PCCs again and there are no delays...

As long as the VO notifies applicants immediately upon receipt of application, requesting PCCs, there will be no delays.

Dear Coffee, Wayne and all...

I suggest we ask them to immediately return any application that has failed in the eligibiity review with a cover letter explaining the reasons for rejection.So as to give the applicant a fair chance to resubmit before his cap is reached.

Would any one agree?

I agree. But I would also agree they should send an AOR out as soon as eligibility review is complete. There is no reason to delay either AOR or rejection letter.

But the reason they are withholding applications may very well BE that they do not want the applicants to re-apply. Somewhat unfair if the reason for failure is something which the applicant can genuinely remedy in their documentation.

Canada needs chefs and cooks, not lawyers or teachers – CIC

Canada, 10th November: As per the latest updated immigration qualifications list by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), there is an increased requirement for cooks and chefs in Canada.

And the list has excluded teachers, lawyers and other important high-skilled professionals.

So, there is absolutely no requirement for immigrant lawyers in Canada. And the same holds true to immigrant teachers since Canada does not have any jobs even for those teachers who have received their education and training from Canadian universities.

The fact is that there are no takers for getting the services of teachers with Canadian degrees(and training) even without paying any fees. And if any immigrant teacher still wants to move to Canada, then he should rather be prepared for taking other jobs including that of cleaners etc.

Meanwhile, the Canada immigration department has its doors wide open for high-skilled chef or cook. Cooks and chefs are treated with great respect in Canada and are very well paid to afford a quality living in Canada since they don't need to depend on tips for their earning as seems to be case with chefs and cooks in Africa.

And its not just the chefs and cooks themselves who are welcomed to immigrate to Canada as per the latest

Canada immigration rules, even their family members getting sponsorship are invited to join them in this friendly nation. The new Canada immigration policy will result in fast immigration of family sponsorships in Canada.
The latest changes in Canada immigration policy are in tune with the current skills in great demand in Canada while excluding skills that are no longer needed by Canada.

Canada has many high-skilled professionals driving taxis or involved in jobs that are far below their educational qualification or expertise. Hence, Canada wants to invite only those immigrants who can gain adequate jobs after immigrating here.


Canada is, indeed, a multicultural nation which is regarded to be immigrant-friendly. Its unlike the nations like Germany where immigrants not following German ways are threatened with dire consequences.

Canada offers attractive pay packages to help new immigrants settle and integrate successfully in this nation. The year 2011 will see arrival of nearly 265,000 new immigrants coming to the nation to live and work here.

Somehow we have tendency to overlook important, key factors affecting our quality of life, while bashing and complaining for Canada not giving immigrants from day one the best of the jobs they ever had.

You can use someone else's credit card, you just have to fill their name and address in the appropriate section on the payment form. However, VISA debit is tricky. Technically, debit cards are not accepted by CIC. Now, since it's a 16 digit VISA number it has worked for some people, but I have heard other people who have had problems.

IMO do not risk it. Either use a proper credit card or get a banker's draft drawn out. Even credit cards can have problems and be rejected so I would strongly advise using a banker's draft.

Best of luck,
Wayne.

Guidelines:

"Before submitting your application to the CIO, you should:
 begin to gather your police certificates, and
 research the estimated length of time required to obtain police certificates from all of the applicable jurisdictions.
Consult our website for specific and up-to-date information on how to obtain police certificates from any country.
Police certificates are valid for 12 months from the date they are issued. If your application is placed into processing, these certificates must be submitted before your application can be finalized. Failure to submit police certificates when requested to do so within a specified period of time may result in the refusal of your application.
Note: If a final decision is not made on your application before the expiry of your police certificate, the visa office may request that you provide a new one.
When you submit the police certificates to the visa office, ensure they have been issued in the last three months and no earlier. Certificates that are more than three months old on receipt will not be accepted."

Based on these instructions only, i applied for PCC when i started gathering my documents and i got my PCC just one week after sending my application to CIC and now its almost 2 months that PCC is gathering dust on my table. IF i don't get any update within 1 month, i'd have to apply for fresh PCC. From their instructions, it appeared that the whole process is going to be fast track and thats the reason, everybody on this forum was expecting quick response from CIC. If i had applied before june 26th, i'd have applied and forgetten until i hear from them and then applied for IELTS and PCC. IMO, CIC was not expecting this huge decrease in applications and once they came to know this, they changed their mind. This is the first time in the history of CIC, i think they have just received 3400 applications in 4 and half months.

In nut shell, i feel that including PCC concern is a relevant one and be included in the letter. It may be indicated that obtaining PCC in some countries is not that quick, moreover if you have lived in multiple countries, its more difficult to get a fresh PCC.
