I am a pre-june 2010 applicant.
I sent my full documents to VO, ND on 20th Oct and the same was delivered before 12 noon on 21st Oct.

When can I expect an email ( AOR ) from the visa office and the employer verification ( if.any ) to take place ?

Can the people who have got their maple leaf, please confirm if their verification at work was done ?

Thanks

Hi Maran,

1) 2nd AOR is generally received after 20-25 days (VO-ND)...but it fluctuates;

2) You will receive (generally) 2nd AOR by REGULAR mail. But some people have received 2nd AOR by email as well. So be vigilant for both the scenarios;

3) Employer verification, if conducted, will be after atleast 3 months of you receiving the 2nd AOR;

4) Nobody has received the MAPLE LEAF yet from the list of April applicants. But Manilla VO is leading the way and one candidate has already done the medicals;

5) Hinnajamal has had a verification at work. You may want to contact her for specific enquiry.

Thanks Mitali.

I have a doubt here, How the employment verification will be done? will the VO will contact us directly for employment verification or the employer?

Appreciate if you share some info on the same.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Aran,

Your employer will be contacted (or the person who has given you the reference letter).

Bear in mind verifcation is not done in all cases, only when VO wants to confirm any doubts that he may have. But it is a good idea to inform your employer that he might receive a call and he (employer) should be able to practically repeat whatever has been mentioned in the reference letter to maintain parity.

Hi Arshad,

Yeah, no way out. But the most important thing here is to retain a copy (many copies), incase you need to apply for a study course in Canada or else where, while your application is in progress. Also remember to notarise them while you still have the originals.

There was an applicant who wanted to apply for a course in Canada, but could not do so as he did not have either the original or the copy of his educational documents.

Dear All,

Why do you say so, In fact I would reproduce from the ND VO the following:-

Gather documents as listed. Check each item on the checklist and attach the checklist to your documents (a paper clip will do). Place all documents in a sealed envelope. Do not send originals unless otherwise stated. Send notarized photocopies of all documents except the police certificates, which must be originals. If your documents are not in English or French, send a notarized (certified) translation with a copy of the originals.


As per this we need to send the PCC, The IELTS results in originals.

Please clearify.

Hi Sunny,

The London VO requires some original docs like original Nikah namma to be send too.

Hello All!!!

It is a pleasure meeting you all here. Good to have a special forum for the April 2010 applicants.

Here are our details:

Category........: FSW1
Visa Office......: New Delhi
NOC Code......: 4131
Pre-Assessed..: Yes (Not sure about this. What does this mean and how do we know about it?)
App. Received at Sydney, NS.......: 08th Apr 10
1st AOR Received.: 18th June 2010
Doc's Request.: 18th June 2010
Full Docs Sent to ND: 12th Oct 2010
Docs Recvd in ND: 13th Oct 2010 10 am IST (per the Delivery report of Blue Dart courier)

Present online status - Centralized Intake Office Sydney (CIO-S) Eligibility Review Complete

IELTS Score:
Listening - 6.5
Reading - 5.5
Writing - 6.5
Speaking - 7.5
Overall Band Score - 6.5

Total points earned (including spouses education and exp, age etc) = 72

Our doubts:
1. How are the above IELTS Scores looking (for this NOC) and how are the total points looking? Are they good?
2. If we calculate the 120 deadline from 18th June (docs request), it comes out to exactly 15 October as the final/target date. Now that our courier was recvd at ND on 13th will there be any problem?
3. Generally, within what time can we expect the 2nd AOR after submitting the full documents?
4. After receiving the 2nd AOR how long would it take to get the next intimation and what would be the next step from the VO end?
5. Now that 4131 has been deleted from the NOC list, will there be any problem in considering our applications?
6. What according to you would be the total time taken for the whole process to be completed until the Visa is issued (for April 2010), if everything goes without any hitches?
7. Mayank - your list doesn't mention the no. of applications received for NOC 4131.

Appreciate your response in this regard.

Please add our case in the list.

Thanks,
RSK

Our doubts:
1. ( you have 12 points and all band except reading are good to go…one low band wont impact as long as you meet 67 points criteria too)
2. (there should nt be a problem. Guys who received the app must have time stamped the envelope)
3. (Visa office ND is quite quick in that deppt. U should get it within a month or max by two months)
4. (anywhere from 3 months to 6 months based on the volume at VO at the time. Next step should be Medical request and RPRF request considering all your documents are valid and they don’t need anymore or need you to appear in an interview. Incase they need you to appear for interview it will happen before medicals. If you receive medical request that would mean interview has been waived off.
5. (there wont be any problem since your app falls in the rules when this NOC code was still in the list)?
6- (anywhere from 9 to 12 months)

Need for upgradation in Canada immigration services

Canada, 29th October: A recent audit by Canadian Auditor-General into Citizenship and Immigration Canada has revealed several inefficiencies in the system.

Findings of the audit by Sheila Fraser state numerous inadequacies in the Canada immigration department Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIAC) concerning processing of Canada immigration applications.

The immigration processing system highlighted flaws in standards of customer service, tracking of complaints and feedback and the computer system. Moreover, computer systems being used by CIAC were found to be as outdated as 30 years.

And this might be proving obstacles for several Canadians wanting to travel or vote, the report findings stress.

The performance of customer services of CIAC, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada and Canada Revenue Agency were examined by the auditor general. Although, Canada Revenue Agency and Human Resources and Skills Development Canada were found to be having good customer services standards, however, the standards of Canada immigration department were either quite less or relatively new.

The audit report also revealed that the processing times for Canada citizenship applications was quite long and applicants had no option but to face higher wait times. The average waiting time revealed to those contacting the department by phone was 10 months while those contacting the department through mail were told of waiting period of five to seven months.

New immigrants in Canada are not allowed to vote and also face problems in getting their Canadian passports if they do not possess Canada citizenship certificates.

Apart from the above stated discrepancies highlighted by the report of the auditor-general Fraser, Canada immigration department was also found to be having very less measures for tracking of complaints and feedback.

The immigration department of the country has admitted to the findings of report by Fraser and also has chalked out a plan for bringing the required improvisations in the working of the department.


The report also has highlighted some positive sides of the department with special mention of the response of Canada immigration department to the earthquake in Haiti in January this year.

It praises department’s on-time delivery of information, better public communication and several other measures by the department following the Haitian earthquake.
