[snow_ski]

Schedule A-Background declaration:
8. Personal history section-
Should I just mention major study period, job 1, job 2 and that's how whole time should be covered without any gap, or do I need to mention small 4/5 days vacation I went for in different countries as well! :/
In the travel information all the travels I already have mentioned..

Thanks a lot for answering these at once. I appreciate !!
Sorry I was not clear enough in my initial post, I meant reference letters

1- I just sent my experience letters, I got recommendation letters now. Should I send them right away to them or should wait to get some reply from them? No point sending them now. If your application is accepted and they need anything further from you, you will be contacted.
2- how many recommendation letters should I send? Would 2 per employer be a good number? I'm not sure what you mean by recommendation letters. We were only asked to send 'reference' letters and it's one letter per employer.
3- I didn't send police clearance. Till when I have time to send those? Not compulsory. If your application is accepted, you will be asked to provide these for you, your spouse and your children above 18 years old.
4-. My wife haven't given ielts yet. Would it help in any way if she gets ielts score now and we send her result ? I have already sent my ielts and my total points are 73. If you got 73 points from your self-assessment, then you don't need your wife's IELTS for adaptability points as you are above the minimum points of 67 required for FSW.
5- same for her credential assessment. She's B.A. and B.Ed. Though I have sent my credential assessment. Not necessary.
5- When can I expect first communication from them, my application accepted or returning, reviewing or something like that? Do they send mail or email ? You will get an email about your success or if the application is being returned. Going by people who participated in FSW 2013, it took about 90 days.

Will an applicant be notified if there is any rejection of the application or he will have to wait for file to be back?

Everyone, If you are paying via CC.... If you are paying via CC.... If you are paying via CC....

Its a great idea to call your Credit Card company (for those who chose this payment method) to call and notify them that (X) amount will be charged by CIC.
Some credit card companies have security policy in place where they might contact you. But, they will cancel the charge before you do.
Just be safe.

If unsuccessful your entire application will be returned to you by regular post with a covering letter. You will not get an email notification from CIO.

VISA Office Selection (for those who are still unaware):

Some of the FSW14 applicants are still not aware which place should be selected on Generic form -Point number:4

"Immigration Office requested For Processing this application:"

CIC does not process PR application to all of the country. Its divided by different Territory... U can choose from the above link which is ur Visa Office (VO)

Which one should I write if I'm applying from Toronto, Canada (here on study permit) but I'm originally Czech (so my processing office would be Vienna if I lived in the Czech Republic)...

Thanks

Your help will be appreciated.

Hello, My question is regarding Police report and Medical. How old should these have to be when sending to CIC? If I get these done soon, assuming I get the PER, it will save 3-4 weeks later.

"9. Processing times are faster
The Canadian government has expressed its intention to bring processing times for the FSW program to under one year. Recent applicants to the program have indeed begun to receive decisions on their applications within this timeframe."

This is very good news to all of us!
