FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[future_canadian]

Hello Guys,

Thanks a lot for such wonderful support being provided by you people. I have been following this thread for past many days. Would request experts to address my each query. I am applying for 0111 and in the mid of collecting documents.

1. Eligibility Points

I am calculating exact 67 point as follows:

a. Age
My DOB is 28-07-1979 and according to this I have completed 35 years few days back. So how many points I am eligible to get? Is it the maximum – 12? (If not 12, I would be in trouble; total points will fall to 66). Please suggest how much surety of getting 12.

b. IELTS

I scored: L = 6.50, R=8.50, W=6.00, S=6.50
According to my calculation my I got 19 points. Is it right ?

c. Experience

Have more than 10 years of experience. So I am entitled to 15.

d. Education

Expecting minimum 21. (Documents with WES right now).

As I am meeting exact 67 (subject to age criteria), should I make my spouse appear for IELTS exams ? It will take another one month to September end. Is it advisable to apply without spouse's IELTS test ?

2. Passport

a. I have applied for renewal of my passport. My IELTS score card was given on old passport basis. So I will need to provide Xerox of old passport along with the IELTS Score card. Right ? Do I require to mention this in a separate explanation sheet ?

b. I am staying on rent in same place for past 3 years. So while applying for passport for my whole family, I mentioned my permanent address as same (not to complicate the things further). What could be the implications of this ?

3. Reference Letter

I have worked in following companies in last 6 years:
Company A : Nov 05 – Dec 09, Period 4 years
Company B : Jan10-Apr11, Period 1.25 yrs.
Company C: Apr11- Till Today, Period 3+yrs.

- I have got reference letter from A.

- B got shut down. There is no existence as of now. I have all other documents (Joining, Appraisal, Experience/Relieving, Salary detail, but not salary slips). I can get reference letter from my senior (in that company), who is in another company now. What is the best way in this situation?

- C is my current organization. I have no hope of getting reference letter from the company. However, I can try any of my colleague/senior team member to submit reference letter on plain paper with his business card. What could be the best wayout ?

- Is there any need to arrange reference letters from companies before A ? Or any other paper ?

4. Fund

I need to show $18100, Approx Rs 1.1 Mill (for three members). I have already parked my savings in one property. I have:
PF – I have some Rs. 3.50 Lacs. I read somewhere in this post that it is acceptable as POF. Is this right ? What documents do I need to prepare for this ?

MF- I have some Rs. 2.50 Lacs in MF. Can I show the original statements ? Or do I need to withdraw money to trf to my saving account to show liquid money ? If yes to any of these options, what documents to be prepared ?

Saving Account- Have some 1.50 Lacs.

Property – Have one plot in the name of my spouse. Registered value is 14 lacs (loan against it Rs. 14 Lacs, rest paid in cash/black). Any possibility to show this ? and How ?

Gold Jewellary – Have gold jewellary worth around Rs.5 Lacs. Can I show this as fund? If yes, how? If now, can I take gold loan show the liquid money for the time period?

If from above possibilities, I am unable to gather Rs.11 lacs, I would have to borrow money from somewhere. So for sure, I can not show my account statement, so I would go with balance certificate. So as a backup paper, can I show:
- That I gave some money to my friend as a loan which I got back. If yes, what documents?
- That I sold my gold jewellary. If yes, what documents?
- I got it as property settlement of my father. If yes, What documents ?
- Any other idea?

5. Birth Certificate

Both me and my spouse don't have BC. And I have checked it is time taking process to get BC. Our Matriculation certificate shows name of Father only along with birth date. So would it be ok to submit this along with affidavit from our respective parents ? Any alternative ?

6. Marriage Certificate

Don't have one. Any alternative to this? In Punjab, we have strange rule. One person from family of both sides, councillor from both sides have to be present for certificate. Have to do this if no way otherwise. Please suggest.

7. PCC

At this point of time, when I am approx. one month away from filling application, I can arrange PCC (I have done three passport enquiries by bribing police officer in the Police station itself ;D, so no issue). Is it advisable to procure PCC at this time ? I heard PCC is valid for one year. Also, how many years do police verify? I was in another city before this location. Please advice.


And finally what do you think of my case after such complexities. ;D

Request you again to try to attempt each question. Dear Experts, this is your test.

Regards. :-*

1. If you want to be safe, have your spouse take IELTS so you have some cushion in terms of points.

2. To be safe I would mention your renewal in an annexure and supply a copy of the old one as well so it matches your IELTS. Not a problem.

3. Yes, personal letters from seniors are acceptable and are the best way if a company letterhead letter isn't available.

4. Property and jewelry are not acceptable as settlement funds. Only liquid and unencumbered funds are acceptable. PF, yes if it can be liquidated when you emigrate. FD, savings, mutual funds, stocks and bonds, yes. Also note that you CANNOT borrow the settlement funds from another person or from a bank. You must have the funds and show proof of them at the time of application, probably again to local VO, and once more upon landing. They may ask for detailed statements for several months or more and will investigate anything that seems like a loan. If they find that you are representing borrowed money as settlement funds it is a guaranteed rejection and a ban from Canada for 2 years or longer.

5. The Guide and document checklist will tell you what alternatives to BCs are acceptable.

6. You must provide LEGAL PROOF of your marriage. Get one.

7. You can provide the PCCs later, don't delay your application by waiting for them now.

What is your NOC?

Good luck.

Just now got a mail from CIC:

'Dear Sir/Madam:

Please be advised that your application was returned with all attachments on 11 July 2014. It was deemed incomplete. A letter of explanation was provided along with the application package.

We do not keep detailed records of each application returned so I am unable to provide more case specific details.

Please note: all returned applications are sent via regular mail to the mailing address as entered on the application package. There is no tracking number. Once the application is mailed, its delivery is the responsibility of the postal service. Applications are not sent via courier.

Thank you for your interest in Canada.'

All efforts/dreams in the last 3 years have gone down the drain again. I planned to go to Canada in second half of 2011. In 2012, FSWP did not open. In 2013, my application was returned because of a stupid mistake. In 2014, history has repeated itself.

Its time to stop thinking about Canada now. India is not bad after all

I'm so sorry to hear this.

You can always try again for Express Entry or some other method like a provincial nominee program. If your heart is in Canada don't give up!

Once you get your app back please update us on the specifics.

Dear all members,

First of all my heartily congratulations to all PER holders and very best wishes to all other members for their PER emails. I am seeking your advise again. As I explained in my earlier post that I already applied in incorrect 2171 NOC and my file reached there on 23rd June. Now, I want to resend new application with correct 2281 NOC. I am waiting for my spouse's additional IELTS TRF. It will take 10-12 days to get that. Without his IELTS I am not sure whether I am scoring 66 points or 68 points. I have calculated my points as follows:

Education: 23 (BSc (IT) and MBA)
Age : 12
IELTS : 22
Spouse IELTS: 5 ( confuse? Whether include it or not ?)
Work experience: 9 or 11 points (I have two work experiences : 1 year paid training and 9 months experience as system administrator matching with 2281 NOC + 1 year and 4 months current experience as system analyst job duties are matching with 2281 NOC) so total 25 months experience in 2281 NOC

My query is am I able to get 11 points on above description of two work experience. Both have long time gap. First one is in year 2006-2008 and second is from last march 2013...till date

Do I need to wait for my spouse IELTS or should I go ahead without that? Am I already too late to apply for 2281?

Another big concern, which making us worry every single minute.......... Are we doing right now to send another file without waiting for response of first file?

Or are we again doing big mistake by sending another file? Will CIC invalidate both files or accept new file? What will happen if they send PER of first file?

Should we wait for their positive/negative response of first file? Or is it too late to apply again by then in this year cap?

As per the Canada Gazette of 26th June , an applicant can apply multiple applications at a time but the experience should be vary according to different NOC out of 50 eligible occupations.
But my scenario is bit different, earlier I had applied under 2171 NOC and this time my NOC will change to 2281 code and job duties will remain same. So here the question is : is it legitimate to file my second application on same work experience and same Job duties in different NOC code? Is it sound lawful?

Plz guys, give me some input on this issue. Your valuable suggestion/opinion can save my family's life. Thanks in advance. Waiting for your reply.............

Thanks Century for reply. Can anyone else give his/her valuable opinion on this issue. Plz help me buddies........

My application got rejected for not providing Proof of a completed foreign educational credential along with ECA. I provided the ECA but didn't provide the degree certificate. I have to resubmit my application quickly. I have a few questions regarding the reapplication.

1 - When they returned my application, there was a UCI number filled in it. Can I reuse the UCI number.
2 - I applied under the 2174 category. Is there still a chance of getting through in that category.
3 - Is there any other category which is similar to 2174.
4 - I'm applying from USA. Which is the best Visa Immigration Office to apply to. I initially applied with Sydney, Nova Scotia.

I will be very thankful for your replies. Thanks.

With Regards,
SS_VISA.

1. Yes
2. Nobody knows, but it's a hot NOC
3. Yes, look at the eligible list and read a few of the NOCs
4. All applications must initially be sent to CIO - Sydney. Your local visa office on your application should be Case Processing Centre - Ottawa.

Good luck.

By the grace of Almighty. I just received PER email. I am 7th May applicant and my CC charged on 12th June.

I want to share one thing, I was worried when I saw 7th May applicants who got charged on 16th June are receiving PER while there are many 12th and 13th June charged applicants are still waiting. Just today after getting PER I understood that CIC is not working exactly in the order of CC charging date. So applicants who got charged earlier, please don't worry. Hopefully you all will receive PER.

SS updated.

Congrats!

Guys,

Any way/trick to track my rejected application?

People whose applications were rejected have received it in India. I am yet to receive it.


Thanks,
Rohan.
