Thanks you! I had 4 employers in the past 10 years, two of them back in Canada. I get them all renewed
Hi I have similar quote i had 4 employers in last 5 years or so. I have attached the latest copy of pay stubs and the last experience job experience letter for 2.5 years. I think that should suffice.

0015, but as far as my knowledge goes, your job title also needs to be in correspondence with example titles - that's what i've been told. for example in your case that could be marketing vice-president – trade, broadcasting and other services"".. see if you could match it with this... i think that in CIC office in CA they will be looking for example title, and your LO will pay attention to your job duties.. this is how I was instructed. good luck!
Can anyone else verify this? is it necessary that your title must match even if duties already match? :eek:

NOOOO!! Dont do that spend couple of days extra but get that in the appropriate format. Once the file is sent u cant do anything after that and till the time u get any AOR /PER u will stay anxious ... better get them re done at least u are sure of not getting them rejected.

I had sent my experience letters last year in haist without matching the main duties list ,performed under my NOC- 3142 Physiotherapist .
Trust me the letters i sent did mean the same thing but in other words .

My file was returned , so out of exp am advising u do not send ur file in haist .. spend 2-3 days or whatever it takes extra. but send all papers as per the prescribed format .
what do you mean by main duties under 3142: did you have mention all the duties your performed as physiotherapist?

Hi all,

I've been preparing my documents and reading on this forum thread quite closely. All my documents are ready to be posted. Here is the scenario: I am already in Canada, pursuing my Ph.D. I want to apply via FSW 2014, but just use my Bachelor's degree from home (just as if I was outside Canada). In other terms, I'm not using my Ph.D. education. I don't think there is any issues regarding that, right? Please let me know.

Thanks for answers.

P.S. Look at my username just as a joke, with a good sense of humor. Forgive it... I just found it funny and chose it. Not to be insulting any one of honorable members of this forum.
I'd appreciate if someone can answer this for me too. Thanks.

Hi Admin & Seniors

I have a serious problem and need you advise on it. I have submitted my FSW application on 1st May, however I noted today that in the section of CVV my card number started with zero and as per the PDF it accepted only 2 digits. I had couriered the application as it is. I found from archive that applications are returned because CIC cannot process the transaction due to invalid number, I was thinking of doing the following:
1) Attach a cover letter with all details and send the payment form again to CIC
2) Send a complete application package, I have a second copy of WES and have requested for another copy of IELTS. Since I had originally applied for the NOC 1112, which is hot, I was thinking of sending a separate package for NOC 0111by next week
Will there be a problem if I send 2 applications for different NOC's ?
Guys your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Morning Friends,

This is regarding the WES courier that I am gona send.

I am a B.tech Graduate. What all do I have to include in the courier to WES apart from the semester wise transcripts, consolidated memo and provisional certificate ?

Do I have to include my tenth and intermediate xerox copies along with the package?

Also do I have to include the WES reference number ?

Also please explain me this :

Apply for a credential evaluation before your documents arrive. Without an application on file, WES cannot process your records or confirm that they have been received.

In anticipation of your reply.

Regards,
Keerthi

Hi,
Good Analysis...
Just another view points, I must inform you people that last year CIC staff was having some strikes during initial 3 months hence the overall work and was delayed. Lets hope for even faster response this year.


dmitrych said:
I've made charts from the previous year spreadsheet data, and some of them are rather interesting.
Here's the relationship between the date when the application was received by the CIO and time it took for the CIO to encash the fee (which is a first real visible activity from the CIO):



As you see, the time to encash the fee raises quickly with number of applications, especially in the first few days. Applicants whose applications were received on the first two days, May 4 - May 5 2013, got their fee encashed in 40-50 days. Then the time rose to about 55-80 days for 1st month applicants. On the peak the time was about 90 days, which is 3 times longer than in the fastest cases.

This year there were some applicants who prepared beforehand, so it's probably possible the processing time will rise even faster than last year, unless CIC has optimized the process or has increased number of their officers working on the applications.

Hello friends,

I am waiting for my ECA report, I applied on 28th April, I got a mail on May 7th stating my documents have been received and got an e-mail stating my report will be completed by 15th of May and status was shown as Evaluation in progress. Yesterday status was changed to "Evaluation report being prepared for delivery". Am I lucky that my ECA report is ready before the specified date, or that status is going to show until 15th of May?

Does anyone know how long does it take to change the status from "Evaluation report being prepared for delivery" to "Delivered" or "Completed".

PLs help

Thanks in advance

i am writing this on behalf of my friend. He only sent his work reference letter as specified in document checklist. and didn't provide the pay stubs and work contract paper. my question is it necessary to send pay stubs and work contract letter. because document checklist mentioned that additional documents may include. they the word "May". He is worried now. I am preparing my papers now.
