FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[mqureshi]

I have more than 15 years of experience in last 20 years; however, during last ten years I was on study leave for about 4 and half years. Does it mean that I can qualify only 13 points instead of 15 because I have had only 5 and half years experience in the last ten years. In fact my job was continued during that period; how can I get 15 points for my experience.

for PCC; PSK (Passport seva kendra) is best in India. Depends on city they have open slot to walkin to get PCC. like bangalore has daily 10 to 11 AM free slot for PCC; no prior appointments needed.
If your current residence city and passport issue city is same you will be able to get it in couple of hrs from PSK. (of course you would need required docs original and 1 set of photo copy to carry with you as mentioned at the website)

In case your residence city and passport issue city (or country) is different it will go to local police station for verification; for this if you follow up with local police station it is possible to get in a week. I got for my wife (her passport was renewed in USA during my official stay) PCC same way.

Hi Guys,

I received PER on 13 June 2014 and since then I had neither got any update from local VO nor any update in the ECAS status. My question is when does local VO initiate background check. Is it only after sending AOR/update in ECAS status or they can start verification before these steps also?

Thanks

Seniors need you suggestion,

I have a reference letter from my previous company, with all the required info per check list, however this was issue in 2006 when i resigned. Please let me know whether this will hold good(as this was issued 8 years ago) to go ahead and apply?

 

[sairahmad]

Thanks Nadim

Saira Ahmed...
Don't worry much funds at this stage. The following will not affect and you don't need to think providing any explanation about it. What matter to CIC & later to VO that you have sufficient funds to settle in Canada. Later on VO will most probably ask the same information regarding funds & you have to provide the information at the time it is requested. No need to provide any changes between the time of application & second time request.

[size=9pt] Man I need to figure you out!!! You are like the international man of mystery - one boss is in US one in Canada. And LOL closed operations of company in Dubai!!!! Are you Austin Powers / Mike Myers? LOL

hahahahaha...Rest assured am none of them

My company is a small start up..most of us are working remotely. Company has registered offices in Canada and US. CEO is based in US while CMO and COO are based in Canada.

Many companies had to close their operations in Dubai when the property market crashed.

Hope that brings your breath back in control ..lolz

 

[sairahmad]

+1 for the comprehensive response.

@ Sairahmad

If u convert it through bank, the transaction itself will be visible on the account. So VO may not ask. If you do it through money exchange, they may ask.

Neither does CIC/VO stops u from using those funds for some urgent need, wherein shortage is covered over a short period from verifiable and genuine in-flows (salary savings or sale of investment etc etc but NOT LOAN).

Using one account for ur expenses and another for accumulating savings from verifiable and genuine in-flows (salary savings or sale of investment etc etc but NOT LOAN), is also acceptable.

Similarly, CIC/VO can't stop u from adding ur monthly savings in ur account. No one keeps stash of cash at their home unless its illegal.

CIC/VO goal is to make sure that u have required amount of legally obtained liquid funds to bring it to Canada. Thats it. The purpose of requiring statement is just to ensure that amount is legally earned and NOT BORROWED.

Net Net, if its just addition OR reallocation of investment from one asset class to another, while maintaining the LIQUIDITY and WITHOUT creating any doubt abt source of funds (as in borrowed or illegal), u r comfortable.

P.S: Since submission, i have sold stocks equal to 20% of my settlement funds and consumed good part of it while not touching my salary account. So, if asked, i can easily tell tht i was using stock sale proceeds for daily expense and hence all of my salary was saved, which is credited in different account denominated in different currency.

P.P.S: Joint account with husband or even Husband's account if acceptable, if he is included in ur application as dependent.

Sir, that letter is 8 years old! I think you know that other applicants who are trying out for FSW are using reference letters obtained this very month. I think you should do the same and obtain a current letter. All the best.
