April 2013 Applications

[Vik1112]

Seeming as how only a few 2174 applications from 2013 are being processed....ya, go for it. And just email it to them. My approach is to take the chance...moreover if I was the VO and noticed a discrepancy, I would want to have an explanation up front, rather than create and log communication, and then wait and repeat. I dont see the harm in sending it!! Could only help...

Thanks CEC2013. I as well submitted my 2012 T4 form with the application that I filed in March, but I included no explanation to the why there's a difference in income between the T4 and employer letter. I think now what I'm gonna do is to ask my employer to write the letter on the company's letterhead and his signature, explaining the first 3 months probationary period hourly paid and then the switch to the salary. This way it's gonna look more official and credible. And hopefully CIC will attach that letter to my file

That sounds great! Luckily for me, HR policy demands that any probationary period already be noted on employment confirmation letters. And plus, I'm pretty sure I also noted the same in some explanation letter I attached.

Aside from this letter, I would also include a short letter, as to the reason you are attaching this....kind of like a cover letter. So they know the purpose. But thats just me!

A lot appreciated CEC2013, Now what e-mail address or the mailing address should I use to contact them. I can't get the letter from my employer as pay rise happened after 6 months of my probation period.

Any ways I will include kind of cover letter to explain and will also include the new assessment, T4 and the letter from my employer which states that I was promoted in pay on the particular day.

Thanks

Yea, a letter explaining the circumstance and some sort of proof/evidence should be provided to support your claim. A new assessment, T4 or even a letter from your employer that you were promoted should be substantive enough. If you email them, it will take about 1 to 2 weeks to receive a response. At the end of your email, kindly request for them to confirm that the files have been attached for consideration. Should you not receive a response within that time period, email them again.

If sending multiple files, make sure you scan them as 1 document (pdf) and do so at lower dpi, since they will not accept anything over 5MB.

You can send your documents to the following:

Scan and e-mail documents (other than police certificates) to: OttPilot-Immigration@cic.gc.ca

Send original Police Certificates (and other hard copy documents, as necessary or requested) to:

Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa
219 Laurier Avenue West, 7th floor, section B
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1L1
Canada

Hey guys,

I've been reading some other threads and I was wondering why CIC asks for your passport?
Do you still have to send your passport if you are from a visa exempt country?

Thanks!

Not required if you are from a visa exempt country.

I GOT MY RCMP FINGERPRINT THING ON AUGUST 27

I submitted my application to CIC on April 23. They notified me in June that they had received it and sent it to Ottawa and gave me an application number as well. Since then, I've been using this number or my client ID# to check the status of my application on the CIC website. It's now September and the status of my application still says "Application Received". Shouldn't it say "In Progress" by now? I've been checking every week. I'm a little frustrated and confused...I don't know if I'm doing something wrong....or that they just take awhile to update statuses online. Has this happened to anybody?

I am in the exact same boat. Seems no activity after first week of June!!!

If you look at the processing time for CEC PR applications, you'll see it takes about 12 months for average completion. Its only been 5 months since April so y'all should chill out a lil bit. You still have a ways to go.

You only have posted six times so far. I think to update your forum profile
you need more posts.
For now, add you timeline to the spreadsheet of the month you applied in and keep posting here.

To update your forum profile go to
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/index.php?action=profile
and look for 'Forum Profile Information' on the left side under 'Modify Profile'

Hope that helps.
