FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[andrem]

Dear forumites,

I am a silent observer of the forum and it has been really great to learn with you. I have submitted my application for NOC 0013 and it was received by the CIO on June 25th. I do have a question to the colleagues and would be interesting to hear your perspectives on this: I have landed as a PR in 2009, got PR and SIN Cards. For several reason that would not fall into compassionate grounds, I could not move to Canada for good and I ended up not fulfilling the minimum residency obligation in order to renew the PR card. My PR Card expired last May and added to that I had a child born earlier this year who do not have the PR status. Therefore I decided to reapply for myself, spouse and child. The fact is that I do not lose the PR status unless an Immigration Officer clearly indicate so.

Do you believe or foresee any risk in the new application to be denied based on the above?

One more question, I did not submit an IELTS result as I understood and sent a cover letter indicating that as I have a Master´s degree from a US university (also validated by ICAS) that the language proficiency would be proven. Any thoughts if this would be an issue?

Thank you all! And good luck to all those in process!!

Praise the Lord!!!! Finally got my PER few minutes back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Application Reached Date: 21st May
Fee Encashed: 3rd September
PER Received: 12th September

Also just wanted to share few of the minor mistakes in my application:
1. Did not put the Bar Code page on top as instructed (This should be a minor one as many people had done this).
2. My WES Report did not contain the actual year of completion of my Master's Degree. Actual completion date was 2009 but WES mentioned it as 2008. This had some contradicting details with the Background Information mentioned in other form. I however got it corrected by WES and they later informed me that, the updated report was sent to CIC
3. Also, I mentioned Arranged Employment Category in the Address but I only applied for FSW Category (NOC Category, Offer of Arranged Employment category)
4. I only had 5 roles in my latest job and 6 roles in my earlier job.
5. My salary was not mentioned in one of the Employment letters, but I attached my playslips. I did not explicitly mention that salary is missing in the cover letter.

Irrespective of all these, I got my PER. Thanks a lot for all the support I got from this forum. I have updated the spreadsheet.

Also I have a slow internet connection today and please bear with me if I don't respond back.

Sriram,

Congrats..+1 to you.

Oscar dude,
Do u remember that sumone mentioned that he got mail from cic that if DD is not working then they will ask....do u??

I wouldn't believe this. If CIC can't charge credit card then the application is returned. Why would they be kind to people if DD does not work? Also, not a chance that DD doesn't work if made with enough validity and in appropriate currency.

I believe that CIC will ask for new DD (or CC even) if they can't be charged due to their own negligence, for example, if CIC didn't charge them within 6 months or if they spill water in the form/DD and can't access them etc.

OK I think I made a big blunder with my draft by not making it in dollars. I thought I read somewhere that it can work this way. And my bank has misguided me. I asked them if they can make a draft in dollars and they said no :/

Now what should I do? My NOC is 2172. Not a hot NOC I think. So if my file comes back I can re-apply right away!?

Yes, luckily very cold NOC. you can apply again.

So you technically already have a PR and are reapplying for a PR? I am not sure what the consequences are. But, You should have written a coverletter explaining the situation and reason for applying for a second time. BUT, it doesn't bode well on you since you HAD the PR and didn't use it. So the visa officer might be skeptical that you will use it this time. That might work against you and a GREAT cover letter would have lessened this risk.

Also, you MUST take IELTS for English proficiency regardless of where you studied. This is the current rule. I feel that you didn't really go over the current requirements before you made your application. Did you get your education assessed before applying?
