I had similar experience at Vancouver.I have some gold in the GTF list and the officer at the immigration said I need to call a number.Can you share with me the number you called for appointment?
It was straightforward; just make sure to bring passports of all the family members to the interview. The address is 333 dunsmuir st. You must have a prior appointment.

Dear All Kindly advice I sent LVO this E-Cas 27/06 & they replied the below, but I already send them a hard copy of Reconsidration letter along with Cover Letter & supporting docs at 09/07 & electronic e-mail in the same date, the VO named (IVH-IMS) had copied someone called Robert Stevenson in the below e-mail .... my inquiry is
1- Do U think they will go through the hard copy letter cause I included my defences against VO claiming my husband will not be econmically established in Canada & the ADAPTABILITY issue ??
2- Who is Robert Stevenson is he the Programme manager??
3- What are Ur opnion (s) for what should be my next move??
My E-CAS

I would like London VO to reconsider my Refused application as I wasn't granted 5 points in ADAPTABILITY ( as I included in my App. my spouse's sister documents (birth certificates, bills, PR Card, children PR Cards, Bank Statement, driving License) , and she was a Permanent Residence in Canada since 2009 (and became Citizen May 2012) , Note non of these documents were returned back to me in the refusal letter. I attached some of the docs sent before with my App. Kindly advice if it is applicable to reconsider my App. as depriving me from this 5 points resulted in the refusal of my application.Your response is highly appreciated.

Their Respond

Dear Sir,

This refers to recent correspondence received at our office requesting reconsideration of your application for Permanent Residence in Canada as a Federal Skilled Worker.

Your application for permanent residence in Canada was carefully considered by an officer according to the applicable sections of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, and you were sent a letter containing the full reasons for refusing your application. The decision was made based on the information on file at that time. You were sent a letter explaining the assessment, thereby concluding the assessment of your application.
You were not granted any points for your relative in Canada because you did not provide any documentation on your application demonstrating that you are related to her and the documentation that you provided demonstrating residency did not demonstrate that she is resident in Canada.
Should you have different information to submit or if you meet the requirements of a different immigration category, you can consider submitting a new application. For up-to-date information on how to apply for permanent residence in Canada, visit the website at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp.
Please be informed that we will not respond to further requests to revisit this decision.
Yours sincerely,
Immigration Officer (IVH-IMS)
hi
as per this response i feel the chance for reconsidering is less. but let us always hope for the best.

the minus from ur side is whn u send the appli, u didnt include a family tree to show how ur connected to the relative in Canada.

All the very best and God bless

If finding an Exchange house is difficult then ur sure bet is your own Bank where u have an account in Kuwait . May turn out to be marginally costly, but then it is inevitable under the circumstances as you see!

Best Wishes,

Hi
My temporary worker visa is in process
Can anyone confirm if I can also apply for permanent residence as well.
What is recommended for application. Can I apply now or go canada first and apply for permanent residence from there.
Ultimate requirement is to get nationality at the end. Can we apply for nationality bases on temporary visa as well?

Hi guys, I just received my MR!! ;D however I have some queries, they are asking for an updated IM0008 wherein I have to provide my passport details. My passport will expire on June 2013. If God permits, if they will ask for PPR my passport will be most likely 6-8 mos valid. and I will need to renew it.

Will i be having problem with regards to the validity of my passport upon issuance of visa? should I renew my passport now?

Thanks

Congrats!
U'd've just one issue -- ur visa expiry will be 'linked' to the validity of ur pps [if it was earlier than ur meds date]. Else, for travelling & 'landing' u'd've no issues. U can always renew it later & submit both pps once u get the PPR.

Have you contacted your agency? As for me, I have sent a CSE on Jul 11. I received a reply from them on Jul 16 that they have dispatched my MR on Jul 12; hence I sent an email to my agency and told them the same. Today afternoon, i received a call from them that they have received my MR via courier last Jul 20.

My representative is in dubai also, called Global Strategic Business Consultancy but they're under WWICS which is based in India.

I believe you should be expecting your MR soon also, since our timelines are very much similar. ;D

Sometimes you have to brag your consultant with what you want, otherwise if it wont work, do it your own way, just like i did. Don't depend much on them, send a CSE so you can have peace of mind. ;) ;) ;)
