You need to send both bachelors and master degree. Now that you have already sent your application, you need to wait and see the outcome.

You are definitely not alone, a few people have done similar things. So far this has not been a reason for return (that I've read so far anyway), so perhaps they will forgive it.
If you're worried, your options are sending an updated form (which they might ignore and not tie to your file), and preparing a copy of your file ready to do another submission (which you might not need). Personally if I were you I would do both.
Many thanks for the advise. my mode of payment was DD, so the only form of acknowledgement I expect would be PER. I expecting to recieve PER email by 8th August Inshallah.
My application was recieved on 12 of July.
Do you advise me to prepare a copy of the whole file and resend it before getting any acknoledgement or.
to just send the Generic Appliation form. should i send this form through the courier or fax or email.
or should I wait and see? please advise

If I was sending a new Generic Application form, I would do so promptly (probably by courier given the dates you mention).
The worst result of sending a new form (presuming nothing else is changed) would be that they will return it as an incomplete application I suppose. You will need to enclose a prominent note stating that it is an update to your existing application, and repeating the main information for your application (name, DOB, passport number - that sort of thing) to help them tie things together. There is no guarantee that they will do this for you - you are requesting mercy :)
You could resend a whole file, and I think they would just ignore / send-back the second one if the first was OK. Others who have done this may be able to say more on this.
I wish you success!

As planned
Thank you all. My ICAS credential assessment states that the prerequisite requirement for an MSc is a "Bachelors degree".

I have attached all my certificates under item 13 (proof of education) of the document checklist plus I wrote a explanation letter to CIC by attaching an email from ICAS which stated that the highest degree is being evaluated.

Will this all be enough? Or I need to wait for the ICAS evaluation of my bachelors degree to be completed and thereafter send them additional courier.

Please advise.

[size=10pt][size=10pt]Tearing down the ‘Canadian experience' roadblock[/size][/size]
Relevant experience as relevant experience, regardless of the geography
By: Izumi Sakamoto Published on Tue Jul 16 2013

For decades, we have heard stories about immigrants with PhDs driving taxis, MDs doing clerical work, and chefs working as dishwashers. One of the most oft-cited justifications for this widespread and increasing difficulty immigrants have in finding employment in their intended occupations is employers' reluctance to hire newcomers without “Canadian experience.”

By default, immigrants who are new to Canada do not have Canadian experience. It is then unfair to demand Canadian experience before they are able to secure employment while also refusing them employment because they do not have this experience. We can finally put this paradox to bed, once and for all.
Yesterday, Ontario became the first province to denounce the requirement of “Canadian experience” for hiring immigrants and accrediting immigrant professionals. In this bold move, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) launched a new policy naming the requirement of Canadian experience as a violation of human rights. In reaching this conclusion, the OHRC is joining a chorus whose voices include the Human Resources Professionals Association and an increasing number of corporate employers such as RBC and KPMG, who have acknowledged that the demand for Canadian experience is nearly baseless. They have abandoned this criteria as a meaningful standard by which to judge the qualification of potential employees, and now accept relevant experience as relevant experience, regardless of the geography of its occurrence.

What is “Canadian experience”? Despite being taken for granted for decades, this concept, when used in immigrant employment, is elusive and lacks definition.
I have been researching the notion of “Canadian experience” for the past seven years and recently joined with other community-driven initiatives to form the “Beyond Canadian Experience Project.” Our main purpose is to deconstruct the idea of Canadian experience with the goal of reducing barriers to employment experienced by immigrants.

We have tried to uncover why employers have insisted that skilled immigrants demonstrate that they have worked in Canada, as well as their country of origin. Our research concludes that the Canadian experience implied by employers is often not about professional standards, but cultural ones: immigrant workers have no experience at “being Canadian,” and don't “fit in” in the workplace. They may not know what constitutes an offside in hockey and can't quote a Canadian Heritage commercial, and so are seen as less desirable employees.

Canadian experience provides an overt label for a covert discomfort: we are uneasy around people who are not like us. As the OHRC policy implies, this amounts to nothing less than discrimination and a violation of human rights. It must stop. Any employer or professional regulatory organization that wishes to use “Canadian experience” as a criteria needs to prove that this is a bona fide requirement; they need to spell out what it is that they are asking immigrants to provide, in skills, knowledge or experience that are required for the job or regulated profession.

OHRC's policy is a huge step in addressing the employment gap immigrant professionals experience in Canada, but the issue of Canadian experience continues to persist in other realms. Some accreditation bodies continue to highlight it, and more recently, the Canadian government has institutionalized it as a criterion in the immigration selection process, awarding credit to potential immigrants who already have work experience in this country — an opportunity not available to all.

The acceptance of Canadian experience at the federal level has the effect of institutionalizing this form of discrimination, attacking immigrants before they even arrive in Canada. How can something that is a violation of human rights at the provincial level be enshrined through accreditation bodies or at the federal level through immigration policy?

It is in the interests of us all that the requirement of Canadian experience be rebuked. Our multicultural values aside, there are serious practical and pragmatic concerns at work: simply put, Canada relies on immigrants to sustain its economic and demographic growth. If the human rights issue is not enough to end this discriminatory practice, if the condemnation of the OHRC lacks sufficient force, then perhaps the simple fact that we will all benefit financially from the smooth and efficient matching of qualified labourers with skilled jobs will suffice. Either way, “Canadian experience” is a standard whose time has passed.

A few weeks ago I wouldn't have thought that was possible for many NOCs. Today I think it is possible - there is now even a small hope that I might make it within the cap, and that is an encouraging thought!
I also hope your CC card is charged today :)

Dear Darkman1987,

What I suggest is as follow:
1. First of fax them the updated payment form ? You did it or not ?
2. Please send that faxed form to CIO directly as soon as possible ?
3. Call them at the center and explain them about the situation ?
4. Request CIO to please retry the transaction by corrected expiry and also ask your bank that email CIO regarding the wrong expiry was entered by the client and they can retry with corrected expiry and you submitted the authorization/request letter to bank ?

What I suggest you should also re-apply when you get you apps. back until CIC declares cap is reached.
Hey BHFSW2174, pls find the answers below

1. I faxed them.
2. Sent the courier too
3. The call centre ppl said this situation is out of their purview. Also they couldn't find any info on my file.
4. You mean ask the bank to send an email to CIO?

AWESOME, so I can now possibly plan to have a decent job in initial years of landing there. Had prepared myself mentally to drive a cab - good now I can stop polishing my driving license and hope for something deserving and relevant to all my years of work in my field :)
