Hiii Berry,
Same is the case with me... which NOC did u apply under and which was your visa office? Please refer to my post on the previous page and let me if the contents of the application were the same as I have posted it there?
Well I'd read the stories of berry and Go Canada,then wanna share the series of my stories with u guys.I did negligently send my first applications to both CIO and my visa office at the same time, I did send the application to former without any supportive documents, just filled application and to the latter with requisite documents,as I didn’t scrutinize thoroughly the guidelines and just wanna catch the 1000 seated Cap-train in time. I used registered mail service and sent these packages to both destinations at the end of August. Then next day, when I could manage enough times in hands to read through the guidelines again, I'd realized well I made two big mistakes. So I dropped a line to my visa office and they replied me to fetch my package back. But I didn’t try to retrieve the package that might be on the way to CIO. Then I rearrange the second package in line with guideline and put an exclusive attention on the application. Then I resent my second package to CIO early September and this time I engaged the fast post service in lieu of registered post to get my package there earlier than first one. The first incomplete package got in CIO after 6 days. But when I did track the second one after 6 days of dispatch, nobody knew whereabout of my application. I was told by staff they lost the track of it.
and said they are going to track and let me know asap. Next day a staff from this service gave a ring and informed my package was kept by the Canada custom : (, was surprised by this unexpected news, later I was explained by the staff the reason behind, when I sent this parcel to CIO, I carelessly missed to tick on the form what is inside the parcel, like documents, cloths, etc.., I didn’t realized it and the staff who received my package did as well. So when it reached to custom, they got suspicion as nothing mentioned in the form what is inside(my another slipshod work). Luckily and thankfully after two days scrutiny, the custom office forwarded my applications to CIO directly. It was mid of September already. Anyway after long journey, my application package finally got in CIO office at 5 p.m Canada time. After two days of received, my CC was encashed by CIO. Finished??? No, I was waiting for the first package return. Since I have known that if application is incomplete, CIO will send it back to applicant. Finally I got return package with two extra documents from CIO, one was letter of explanation why it is being returned and one was Appendix showing highlighted item of missing info in my application( noted in the letter, they emphasized the requirements for new instructions introduced for post 26 june applicants, and Appendix is the enclosed checklist including a numbers of lists for filling forms and one of missing info was highlighted by CIO. One more thing, wanna tell u guys, the date on the letter is the same date of CIO's encashment on my CC. Deem that after they cashed my CC for second application, they returned my first incomplete package same time. Even though I resent twice applications to CIO, I didn’t write any explanation letter to CIO when I sent second package. I just sent the application forms in conjunction with supportive documents. Well CIO has well equipped with experience of checking/reviewing/processing millions of applications before. They might have adopted sound criteria in selection of FSW( either pre or post 26 June).Hence, be patient, and be relax for what we could not tackle ourselves. Believe that you all have done your best already. The remaining are just in the hands of God. Good luck all.
