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!!

Just a thought on IELTS...I have seen American citizens giving the same exam..Of course u will feel it is not fair to give an english exam when u come from USA. But consider a scenario of immigrants (from non english speaking countries) being an american citizen...so u will know its important for such people. Its harsh but fair enough. And doesn't U.S prefer TOEFL over IELTS?

GUYZ PLZ HELP..MY FILE WAS RECEIVED ON 11TH SEP AND MY IELTS IS VALID TILL 22ND SEP...IS THAT FINE??

Apologies for being the harbinger of bad news An applicant named "rohan85" had the similar case and his file was returned. You can check his details in the SpreadSheet, maybe PM him and get more details/exact wording from the rejection letter.

"language test results expired 17 days after the application has been received"

IELTS / test of English language is a must, irrespective of where you have studied.
Also the fact that the PR was unutilised will be looked at negatively.

Instead of reapplying, why don't you check with CIC if the PR can be extended on humanitarian grounds or any other grounds which you may explain to them !!

and yes I am going to KILL that bank branch manager who misguided me about my draft. He did it once before while I was applying for my masters degree in England.

Now in case I re-apply, I have a few questions.

a) Can my sister pay on my behalf in Canadian dollars? She lives in Toronto and if possible she can use the CC. The question is, if it is allowed or not?

b) Do I need to send a new PCC? Or any other docs that need to be renewed? My IELTS is valid till next year and I also sent PCC with my application.

But, I would prefer contacting CIC about this matter. I can call them on Monday and explain everything. Can anyone tell me their number??

God I am so DEAD

Check Oscar's post to you. He has explained how you can make a fresh CAD DD and send as an additional doc to CIC to be considered with your earlier application.
This is the simplest process for you rather than reapplying.

Optimist,

Here goes your answer. Just some wild calculations and guesses though.

As per spreadsheet 69 members out of 262 for NOC 2171 have been charged fees or in further advanced stages.

CIC site mentions 191 nos. to date. (again around 33% representation on this forum which is more or less in line with our estimates)

There are 172 members ahead of you as per SS who have submitted their applications before 3rd Sept 2014. Extrapolating, as per 33% representation for this NOC, we get around 510 candidates ahead of you at this stage.

191+510=701.....
So I guess you are safe as per these rough calculations.

karmafied.... +1 due for commitment to work on this forum'ites request Thumbs Up!

I WANT TO MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR!!!!! IELTS is mandatory no ifs or buts!!!!

I was born and raised in the UK and English is my first language and I had to do IELTS

 

[Saps]

And one more thing is there any difference between work reference letters and work experience letters....r they both needed or work experience will do

They both are different. "work reference letters" - specific to what CIC is asking as per the document checklist. - Mandatory
"work experience" - optional supporting document.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Contacting them and getting answer over phone is very difficult . I think you can sent a new credit card information by filling the Fees form again with a cover letter explaining the details .
