"DUBAI APPLICANTS" **Let's Network & Get Connected**

[nishesh3003]

Dear Members,

Just wanted to get some timeline help, I sent the application to CIO in July second week 2014, so just wanted to know what will be the next step and how and by when CIO will communicate to me regarding my application (If accepted or rejected), Please help.

Regards

You are looking at a minimum of 8 weeks before any activity from the CIO and this is a conservative estimate. Not trying to be pessimistic but the rate of progress will continue to be grim (CIO has reached only May 15th so far) until May Apps are processed and/or 2174 and 1112 CAPS, as these NOCs are where most of the influx is at the moment.

Good luck!

Your first information was wrong, i went to NADRA in Pakistan Embassy Abu Dhabi and they told me that they don't provide anything other than NICOP. For this document, go to Pakistan and get it.

They should rename this office as NICOP office

Hello. We will be moving to Canada mid October and been looking for place to stay + school in the web and asked our niece in Manitoba to check them out. As she does not have children yet so would like to ask opinions of forumers. Usually bus is provided if the school is quite far from your house (1.6km based on one school website). One of the houses that we are interested in is about 600 meters away from school. For someone coming from Asian country like me, that is a "walkable" distance. But not in Dubai probably during summer time. Correspondingly, in Canada, especially during winter time, is 600 meters walk to school still okay or will be challenging or not even advisable to do? For those with children, how far is your home from school? Thanks in advance for your inputs/advice.

You are right, bus is provided only if it exceeds 1.6Km. Once you are in Canada, your habits will change and 600M becomes easily walkable

Second option is to have car lifts during winter for a small child..

Oh, there's also carlift there...thought that's only in Dubai....thanks for the idea.
Perhaps, I need the walking myself after having a lazy life here

Similarly, while flying out from Pakistan to Canada, once again customs issue. Your thoughts/expereince on it?

Definitely flying from Dubai is preferable...especially if you are landing and coming back.

A lot of people use the word 'present' in the form. I find it a little odd but that seemed to have worked if you check the historical posts in the FSW 2014 timeline. If it were me, and I have done it the following way, I would first look into the ref. letter that the employer has provided for the current job. If the letter states "Mr. Faraz is currently employed in ABC Corp. since ... " then the VO would know that the job is ongoing. Also the latest payslips would vouch for that. I would still mention "currently employed" in the description field in the background form and not the date field.

If I follow the above procedure, I would use the date of 'filing the app.' as the TO date. This is because if you look at both the forms, CIC has provided fields to enter numbers but not text, so i tend to believe that's what they expect the applicant to fill in.

Rest is your judgement call.

You do not need to provide PCC for Pakistan.
