Please, Please enough is enough about this issue of hiring a consultant, lawyer or whatever nomenclature.This thread/forum is one for persons who wish to give or recieve information as they know it, think it or anticipate it vis-a-vis the FSW application process and not for some immigration consultant to hijack and milk for cheap but potential publicity.I am amazed that none of us here has seen this Laforce guy for what he is - not very informed or not very straight forward.How come somebody pasted part of his blog here and next thing you know he is here himself defending his views and propounding ideas. Please if no one is ready or interested in telling this consultant the truth about this thread, then i will- laforce please back off this thread. We've got better things to do than listen (read) to you pitch your sales.Engaging the services of a immigration consultant or lawyer is a very personal thing and if you are honestly worth your salt there a better ways to do that- first of which is your website and next is that you should be on top of your game with very up to date info (you goofed with the police report issue). Please queencougar,cam,wayne stop giving credence to this consultant by replying to his posts. Is it not interesting that there is nothing he has brought on here that we did not already know and infact better informed that him.Just so you know he takes up too much space with his posts!!

Well said! :) +1 from me.

I am not giving credence to this guy. If you looked at my reply you will see I am rather critical of his inaccuracies, to the point of embarassing him. He is supposed to be the expert, so for me - not even remotely an expert - to know more than him regarding CIC's police certificate recommendations is frankly pretty shameful.

Cam1234 also made some very good points about his recommendations to stockpile applications with him, frankly a pretty stupid idea since a) you cannot know that the 1122 or 3152 NOC codes will still be on the list next year and b) if you wanted to hand-deliver an application to CIC on 1st July 2011 I am sure there are much cheaper ways of doing it than hiring a lawyer.

Alas times must be fairly desperate for consultants to use forums like this as a form of backdoor advertising.

If she was working full time you can claim that as work experience. However for numbers of years education I think has to be full time education. So if she was working full time during the day and studying part time in the evening then that year will not count towards her education.

Just my interpretation might be good if others could throw in their ideas?

I am not sure, but since she was working full-time and there is proof of that in her employer's letter (working schedule etc.) you count this experience. However, be very very carefull in your explanation letter and check her education condition, because if she had full time job, when she was studing and can it be considered as full-time year of study. Wrong explanation can reduce her years of study.

In my case, I was studing and working (but only part time)/ In my duties there were specified that my job can b done out of office without strict schedule time.

Just be careful in your explanations. You will have to explain this issue anyway, because this info will be seen from your supporting documents.

good luck!
 
Thanks SatishMan,

My dear friend mayank,
For the best proof of fund to apply for immigration is the NETWORTH certificate issuied by any chartered account in canadian dollar. So you just collect all teh documents like your bank certificate, your property documents, valuer reports of property, your car docuemnts, your FD documents, i mean to say all teh document which is owned by you, Now ask teh chartered account that you want to make NETwORTH certificate, he will make it for you in indian rupees so ask him to convert it in canadian dollar with what ever rate is running on that day approxmately and make one note on the same certificate that currency is converted to canadian dollar to xyz rate and convert it to canadian dollar. I did this way and they accept it. Only you hve to send this certificate and bank certificate origional ou do not need to send any othere documents.
Thank you

Well,the debate about immigration consultant will always be there to discuss about,in as much as i would not castigate anybody for using consultant for their application(they certainly have their reason(s) for using one),i think you can do this immigration stuff yourself without having to pay the exorbitant fees charge by these consultants,Even CIC do not really encouraged people to use one.i have FOUR(4) friends in canada now,and NONE of them use any consultant during their process.

Canada immigration applicants can use undocumented work experience

by Guneet S - January 10, 2011
Canada, 10th January: Potential immigrants wanting to move to Canada can use illegal work experience for gaining permanent residency in Canada.

This has been revealed by latest official documents found by QMI Agency.

The federal documents revealed that since those wanting to gain eligibility for Canada work visa have to rely on work experience, so, their Canada work experience as an undocumented worker was getting accepted by Canada government.

The documents in the form of emails between CIC’s (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) senior officers contain questions and answers regarding work experience gained in Canada as an undocumented worker.

The email has been addressed to director of permanent resident policy and programs at Canada immigration department, Heidi Smith. The email contains queries regarding the difference between illegal work experience received outside Canada and work experience gained in Canada as an undocumented worker.

According to Jacqueline Desjardins, a senior analyst of Canada immigration department, work experience gained by an undocumented worker in Canada can be considered for PNP (Provincial Nominee Program) with the only condition being that the illegal work gets confirmation.

Just like Canada Federal Skilled Worker Visa program, PNP provides visas on the basis of skills in high demand in Canadian provinces.

Richard Kurland, an immigration policy analyst and a lawyer was astonished by the answer given by the CIC’s senior analyst in Ottawa that its legal to work illegally.

Kurland stated that he had been asking all the applicants that Canada does not give recognition to work experience gained in Canada without a legal Canada work permit.

He also maintained that majority of workers working illegally in Canada might be doing so underneath and flouting the Canada laws and not paying taxes.

Moreover, many of the workers working in Canada without a legal Canada work permit might have come to Canada through illegal ways and few others might have immigrated to Canada on Canada study visas and been working in Canada along with pursuing studies in a Canadian educational institute, Kurland cautioned.

According to figures revealed by a local activist group in Canada, ‘No One is Illegal’, Canada has between 200,000 and 500,000 staying in Canada without having legal documents.
 
I was thinking about "Wakawaka effect" (forgive me for using your name dear).

It seems that there are different people looking at different NOC codes and this can explain the reason NOC3113 is ahead of everybody. It also seems that 1122 has two or three different officers looking through applications and that can explain a little distortion in the order PER received.

So NOCs with fewer apllication may go faster than the others.

Just two cent, hope you will find this making sense.

Cheers.

HI Guys,

RECEIVED MY PER ON 7 JANUARY.......................YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO.........................JUST CAME TO KNOW TODAY.............
Wow, new record! 98 days! Congratulations.
 
Hi, Have you resubmitted your application? I pray it all goes well from here.

Funny enough I submitted my application using credit card payment nas well but my lawyer observed that theapplication would be returned because of the amount indicated and bank charges involved. They called me before my application was submitted and I was able to make payment by direct debit via their own bank account.

Hope your holiday was not too stressful.

Regards

Dear Mayank

I would have sincerely accepted this as Proof of Fund (PoF) had it been for Indian purpose/standard. But this is for Canadian immigration and I would follow their instruction rather going my own way.....
As per N/Delhi VO instruction - clearly mentions 'Unencumbered and readily transferable funds in a convertible currency' which includes current bank certificate, Fixed/Time Deposits and Savings balance (SB pass book).

Cheers, Anil
