Friends-

Another query, I have been outside India for the past 6 years and got my PCC for India issued 1 year back(Feb 2016), however I visited India for 6 weeks(Sep-Oct 2016) after my PCC was issued.
Should I get a new PCC or is it okay to use the one that I already have.

Thanks

First of all thank you for thiz great effort u presented...hats off !!
U mentioned tht i need a 1 year full time paid job
Ok then!
If i work as a full time paid VOLUNTEER work.... Is this considered an acceptable criteria? Or is voluntary work unacceptable????
ii. In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have?

It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B).

extract from CIC website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

A JOB cant be both paid and voluntary. So I doubt CIC will accept that.

Like you say "pocket money" not a salary. I think you will need to gain some experience in a full-time paid job(salary) before you can apply.

Hey seniors,

I am outside India since 5 months and expecting to be given an ITA as some of you have suggested with score of 438.
So I should get a PCC from this country after completing 6 months of stay (as it will be valid for 6 months) or wait till I get the ITA and then apply.

I have lived in India but in different cities. Should I get PCC from different passport offices(Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore) or a single one would suffice for my entire stay.

You don't have to. After you get the ITA, EE profile freezes. Just pray that you receive the ITA before April. :) Best of luck.

Hi seniors, infocions

I am facing a serious problem. I worked in two organizations. My current employee has give me a detailed experience letter. I worked with Infosys earlier. I tried to contact my supervisors there but all of them have left the organization. I called an HR person and told him my situation and he promptly replied that we do not give such letters.

What am I supposed to do. I read in one of the post that I can ask my ex-collegue to sign and get it notarized. Am jus little scared because I do not want to loose this opportunity. Will this solution be OK or do I need to do something else.

Anybody else is facing such issue??

Need help.
Thanks in advance

Hi seniors,
How long did it take to get your PCC from the FBI? According to their website, it take 12-14 weeks. I have only 12 weeks left to complete my application (received my ITA on Feb 8th). p.s. I'm living in the U.S. -not a citizen.
Thank you

This was my timeline. Hope it helps you to get some idea

FBI Received courier on 7th Oct, 2016
Credit Card swiped on 20th Nov, 2016
Received Report courier on 16th Dec, 2016
(Rejected due to low quality of fingerprints)

I can empathize with you as I "might" be sailing in the same boat as you soon. I am expecting ITA in next draw and I will be sending my courier to FBI tomorrow.

However, I have read on other threads that we can attach the courier receipt & fingerprint cards copy in LOE and PCC section to tell them we have applied for FBI PCC but still awaiting results and HOPE that CIC accepts it.

Wish you good luck mate.

This is not a problem. All that matters is proving that she is your wife, if you have a marriage certificate showing this name you are good to go. However, if the marriage certificate shows her new name, you will need to submit a one-and-the-same person affidavit.

Hi,
If i apply at the age of 45 years, how much chances are there for this type of immigration.
Age is only one of many factors used to calculate your score. Other factors include Education, Work Experience and Language Proficiency. So even though you wont get many points for age, you still stand a chance if you are highly skilled and educated.

Calculate your score using the official CRS tool below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

All the best
