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

[basmalahh]

hi everybody
I am new here but i am following the forum since a while.
.i send my application on 21 oct 2010 and my credit card was charged on 28 oct 2010. NOC 2121
yesterday i got an NER.i am working in a research center as a biologist but the officer was not satisfied with my documents the interesting thing is that they refund me on 27 feb 2011 and the date on the top of the email is 15 Feb 2011 but i got it yesterday.
when they refund my money i guessed there is a problem and i wanted to send them a fax ( as canadajimmy mentioned ) but since i didn't know why they refused me i couldn't
now i need help. what is your suggestion, fax CIO now or wait and reapply later
thanks

I do believe that you should fax them & try to better proof your case,

 

[basmalahh]

Hmm, now when you put it like that! There sure are major discrepancies if all visa offices are operated by CIC.

Its the not knowing and guess work that makes it hard. I have worked out in my head that I should be in Canda by November, that makes it 1yr and if London are quoting 13 months for <J26..... Then again, they might have surpassed their allowance, argh!

Do you know if their year runs as calendar year Jan-Dec?

Thanks for all the input, nice to know that at times there are others being made to feel a little "crazy" by the process! Tongue

Yes EmmaJ,
you aren't alone in this, nor are you the only one getting a little "crazy" sometimes..
it's very hard for all of us,
not knowing what is going to happen, & being such a major step in our lives, not being able to plan ahead for it..
Most of us are settled in the places we are in, change always hold many worries

but to put things more into perspective, what delays London VO is not the amount of applications "from other nationalities" they receive (The delay affects all applications in the office regardless of their nationality). It's rather some sort of incompetency from CIC's part. I am sure they are doing their best (which in my opinion isn't a bad job compared to what used to happen a couple of years ago, though frustrating for us), but if i were to highlight an improvement opportunity for them, that would be it.
It's their responsibility towards ALL applicants to distribute applications fairly where it would be best processed.
If London has a problem with the amount, then they should increase their employees number, better train them or transfer the papers to another office more capable of handling the task. Don't you think?

Hope our visa office gets on the move soon ..
good luck to you dear & try to keep your high spirits, we are almost there

- Grasshopper

Congrats grasshopper! For me, still sleepless nights in waiting for my 2nd AOR. But Im positive I'll receive some good news before the week ends.

I came across this post in another forum and thought it would help some of you to kill the wait time

A. Who should immigrate to Canada?

We keep reading the very same questions repeatedly in regards to job opportunities in Canada.
The dichotomy of the situation is that some highly qualified/experienced individuals are immigrating and crying here while poor to mediocre individuals are going great guns here.
Hence persons with the right attitude and a desire for making it at any cost are required in Canada and NOT the book smart people.

It is all about attitude in Canada.

The words attitude denote that we will do what is necessary to succeed here than what we want to do with our past experience.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. What are the yard sticks for success after you leave your shores and land in Canada?

1. A fully paid up 4 bedroom home with a two car garage and a swimming pool. The value of the asset around $ 1 Million.

2. Either a BMW X5 or a Cadillac Escalade or even a Mercedes SUV and combinations of those cars.

3. Option for a vacation anywhere in the world for 2 weeks every summer.

4. Children doing very well in school and getting 90% and above with a sure shot for the bursary and getting into top programs in good schools include medical education.

5. A condo on the 20th floor in downtown GTA rented and having the option to give it your child when they are ready for the first job.

6. A vacation cottage home at the Muskoka lake with a fancy boat on the jetty.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Having listed a wish list or a symbol of success yard stick in Canada do we know any Desis who has attained these?

Yes and there are plenty of them in Canada. I see every day Punjabi taxi drivers who cannot read or write English and who speak a smattering of English living in half million dollar home with their family driving Acura SUV's.

You see the refugee Srilankan Tamil living in fancy homes and every one of his family has a car. Many of them cannot sign their own names in English but have mortgages which far outweigh those of many of us.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Who are they and what is it that they do?

Typically these are individuals who have less education, who have picked skill sets and are not afraid to get their hands a little dirty.

They also have an attitude to face any consequence to attain success. Meaning they will even break the law and are willing to go to jail if needed so.

The highly qualified book smart individual always calculates the risk before jumping in while the less qualified street smart individual looks at the reward before jumping into the pool of wealth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E. How do you plan for success in Canada?

1. Do not come with the US cross border migration plan after Citizenship. US is such a mess it will take generations to get out of the mess.

Life is more stable and chances of survival are better in Canada in comparison to USA.

2. Land in Canada and leave your degrees/experience certificates aside and start from scratch with a Will Win attitude.

3. Get a Safety Shoes from Wal-mart. You might be the best damn SAP expert with donkeys' years of experience in it but the way things are going you'll never know when you will go looking for a warehouse job.

4. Always plan for 2 part time jobs than a full time job.

5. It is better to get into a unionized job with seniority than to break your head over an office job. The so called desk job/office jobs are the real stinkers unlike India where you'll have no job security but will be made to slog at a wage which on averaging for hours will be equal to or less than minimum wage. There will be no option for overtime pay on office jobs unlike the manufacturing/warehouse jobs.

For Example: FEDEX pays $13.50 per hour to start with and you can always move into higher professional levels from the entry point. UPS pays their drivers $25 per hour and there are many who make around $100,000 PA and have their vacations, pension and full health benefits and they are protected by the union. Canada Post pays initially the minimum wage and if you are able to enter full time you end up at $22 per hour.

6. Try to incorporate a small business on the side. Set aside a small amount may be 1000 bucks to start with and try to tinker in a small business on the side. You may succeed or you may fail but you have made a start. The up side on this is that you can write off your expenses from this side show.

7. Always have a plan for a future small business and try to work in it even if it involves low pay.

If you plan to start a restaurant down the road and you are a TECHIE, do not write in this website about starting a restaurant. Get a job in an Indian place or even a Subway or Timmy's and see for yourself how it works and then decide to get into a similar business.

The message here is that you cannot learn swimming by reading a book; you need to jump into the water.

8. Always keep building your credit, checking your credit score and use all methods to get a HIGH LINE OF CREDIT.

You need to get credit cards to reach there, but once you get the 100K combined line of credit for your family you can cut your credit cards off.

9. Constantly keep evaluating your financial, social situation and also keep track of YOUR progress than your neighbor's progress.

Many a time we lose track of our own success from where we were 3 years ago by comparing ourselves to our friends or neighbors.

Yes your friend TECHIE came to Canada with his IT experience and got a job in RIM and is making 80K. Yes he bought a nice semi-detached home from the 100K he saved from his US stint.

You came from India and did all odd jobs and you are driving your Toyota Corolla and have your condo or town house. Do not be dissuaded by comparing yourself with him. If he loses his IT job where will he go? Can he/is he prepared to wear the safety shoe and work in a warehouse, while you can do it at a drop of a hat.

10. Have positive attitude and be willing to take risks. If you do so, there is more wealth in Canada to be attained than anywhere in the World.

Like the Great American Poet called Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cents said - "Get Rich - Die Trying"

Do Not Give UP!

How come no news of any PERs today?? Anyone??

 

[bohfil]

Hello everyone...i am shining blue today!!Thank God...please update my details ..BD encashed Dec 16..application ref. starts at E0000...Thank you all

 

[hope2011]

Come on guys, at least you have heard from your visa office. All they are doing is asking for your PCC (which you knew would happen if you did not include it with your application). Frankly I don't see what the big deal is? Right now I would prefer to be a Singapore VO applicant than a London/Damascus/Buffalo applicant any time.

Next time you think your visa office "acts so bad" maybe spare a thought for those who applied several months before and whose visa offices haven't issued a single 2nd AOR yet?

Wayne.

Sorry to differ Wayne, maybe I should change the word from "bad" to "unpredictable".

I am not complaining about slow or fast, it is just the pattern Singapore VO acts. It is perfectly ok for me to wait a bit longer (not too long) for them to finish whatever they need to check and then ask for ME, PCC together. Remember the AOR letter from other Singapore applicants says VO here will do another eligibility review (although I agree with your opinion this is poor wordings but it is annoying) and they do differently from Manila and ND VOs, so kind of worried.

For London applicants, the VO may not act now, but they may start like a storm, who knows? But wishing you guys all the best!

By the way, I just got my PER, no AOR yet. Kind of shaking now and totally agree with you that after PER the waiting is not getting any better!

 

[donmar]

Congrats Grasshopper, Calgaryy and Sukhi on receipt of MR,PPR and RPRF.

I am however perturbed at the snail speed that some of the VOs are going including mine that this fast tract method will only work for those VOs who do not have a backlog.

I have resigned myself to just sit back and relax until they reach my file because Kingston have a backlog as some persons who have applied from 2008 are still yet to get their visa. If you have noticed I only check the forum once or maybe twice per week just to see what is happening at the other VOs and check my status just per chance the VO is working.

My 2 cents is that whatever is to be will be so we will not give up hope of a speedy resolution, that is issuance of the maple leaf in the passports.

Have a good week my forum friends.

May I make a little suggestion? For those who want to congrat PER, ME etc., could you use PM? I am sure a lot of guys here will get ME, PPR in the coming days, imagine if everyone sends congrats it will be a bit tough for people who wants to find information here.

Hi !

Well, I think is nice to express your happiness for others, this thread is intended to be either a source of information for some and a source of motivation for others, even though I have not received any news about my application it makes me feel happy for those who have and there are members as well that despite of the fact their application did not go through further more they have the nice detail of saying congrats to those who did it, if you want specific information just type what you are looking for and click on search or post your question and start a new thread, but thats only my opinion....have a nice day!!!
