Congrats!! Good for you.. :D So, I've tried to do some research on here, but with little luck. I wish I could give you a definitive answer, but I cant. My thoughts are that you run both applications until one is approved completely (MR, RPRF, PPR, COPR) and then just withdraw the slower one. You wont get your fees back since they are both in process, but withdrawing is quite simple - just shoot them an email.

Like I said though, I would wait until one is completely finalized and then withdraw the other. Maybe seniors can provide more info on this!
THANKS CEC2013! ;)

Exactly. CEC2013 is right.
Here's the section quoted from the op manual:

Note: Processing starts with the initial assessment of the application. In order to receive a
refund of the cost recovery fee, an applicant must request a withdrawal of their application
before this assessment has started. If an applicant requests a change in immigration category
at any time, a new application and new fee must be submitted. An applicant may have more
than one application in process, but only one application can be finalized with visa issuance.
Any additional applications must be finalized as withdrawn or refused.

Hi,

I am seeing many people in the forum are getting RCMP finger print requests. Is this mandatory? I don't remember this being part of the CEC application checklist and have not sent it with my application. Is this something asked only to a select few or does everyone have to send it?

No, that's something CIC requests later on in individual cases. Nothing you have to submit with your initial application.

Depends on the skill level and NOC you intend to apply under.
For skill level B your results are OK, for skill level A jobs you would have to re-take the test, as you need a 6.0 in every category for skill A.
Average doesn't matter for CEC applications.

HELLO FEBRUARY FOLKS
HOWS THE SUMMER KEEPING U ALL?
Any progress on people who applied in february ? Did anyone hear anything positive like medicals or even the status is "IN PROCESS" on CIC status checker?
I applied on Feb 18 2013.
heard CIC is still on strike so will this delay or hamper the smooth processing of FEB applicants?

Thanks very much
Winterfox
