How come 2174 PER was just issued today for a June 26th app if the cap has been already reached before that?

Cos CAP must have been based on completeness check and not PERs issued.

Looks like 2174 was based on completeness check

Do you mind sharing your PER email ?

Looks like mistake from CIC's end.

SS has been updated with PER info.

I wanted to mention I was a bit nervous about it because people were saying your duties have to match like 70% to 80%, but that was not the case with mine, I matched only like 3 or 4 bullet points because the 1123 NOC code covers marketing, advertising and PR, and it's kind of improbable that a single person does all that.

Definitely a mistake from CIC.

BTW, do you have any connection with Ivory Coast ?

No Connection to Ivory Coast.

 

[leiloola]

Congratulations and thanks for the info.
I'm also a 1123 app and waiting for PER (July 2nd...almost there!)
I'm very worried as well about my duties...as you said it's very difficult to match them all.

best of luck!

Did you by any chance forget to pick New Delhi or Ottawa from the list? Looks like that place in Senegal is the first city in the list and may have been picked up as a default. Abidjan starts with a and b..just wondering. This seems to be too big a mistake to happen on their behalf..but you never know!

...........................

It indirectly says Ivory Coast was selected as designated VO, and as that VO doent processes PR application any more that's why your application has been transferred to Dakar, Senegal.

Double check what you mentioned in VO section in Generic application form, and then email them back about their mistake. Don't send them a general Query Instead send them Case Specific Enquiry.

News Up Frnds......ecas 2nd line updated today saying we started processing ur application from 17 oct.my PER Date was Aug29th.need some inputs frm forumites & experts..plz add ..

-Does this mean/ Weather they are done wid background checks? & MR is on the way.
-in case if they request RPRF weather it has to be in CAD OR INR :.? AND IF I OPT DD IN CASE FOR RPRF in whose name DD has to be drawn.?? Plz share valuable views.
-possible chances of rejection after 2nd line update :-[

Congrats. MR on the way !!
Hopefully background checks are complete, but can't say so confidently.
RPRF can be in INR as well as in CAD. The bank draft should be made for the exact amount and in favour of "Canadian High Commission" or "Receiver General for Canada" payable at New Delhi.

Hi friends,

I am new to this forum though I was closely watching all the information for more than a month and the information that you all pass hold good enoughan for a new comer like me.
Kudos for that.

I am from Bangalore and applied under FSW1. Got medical request and RPRF from New Delhi. Done with my medicals.

Now;
What are the things that I should send to VO?
I know that, fees receipt, medical copies and xerox of our passport should go now.
I also read about some cover letter to VO.
What is that cover letter?
What are the infomation should be there in cover letter?
Does anyone have the format?
Also, I am planning to take a DD. So I guess our details should be mentioned in the cover letter...Please tell me if I am correct.

I wish you all very best
Reshma G

Hi Reshma,
I have got medical request and even I am from bangalore. Can you help me with information like where did u undergo your medicals? and what is the cover letter you are talking about?

Thx,
Chethan

PER received

Hi All,
Silent member of the forum reporting today...

NOC-2171
CC Charged- 10- Oct
PER Received- 22 Oct

SS updated

Thank you so much seniors (ashif bhai, century bhai and too many others to name here) for all your invaluable help and guidance. I'd have been lost in the process without you guys. From filling up the forms, to attaching the correct documents, and to pass the long waiting period.....An amazing community you have built here- hope it continues forever...

I had deliberately kept my hopes low as my weakest link in the application was the Employer reference letter but I had managed to keep my nerves on hold till today. Somehow however this morning, I cracked and sent an enquiry mail to CIC only this morning....and received PER in evening ..should have held on a little longer.....

For future applicants, wish you the best of luck and for your information- I was one of those applicants who were unable to obtain Employer reference letter containing job duties. So I attached the following-
a. Offer Letter, Promotion Letters, Form 16s, 3 months Salary Slips, Std. Reference Letter containing Designation and period of employment, Notarized Self-declaration detailing my inability to submit Job duties letter, Screenshot of my Job Responsibilities from the Company Intranet page
b. Reference Letter from Colleague containing job duties along with colleague's business card (Note- colleague as in, someone in the same role as me in my team, because I didn't dare ask my Supervisor, or Seniors for fear of the next appraisal )

Time for a long partyyy especially as it's a holiday tomorow and to my fellow forumites from India, wish you a very happy and prosperous Diwali ....After that I will be back with more queries about the rest of the process (and provide any help that I can)

Congrats and +1 to you !!
