Good to see you back here :-*

now you are at +207 bro.

 

[krasburn]

may be it was received at cio on sep 2 but the officer who is processing ur case got it on oct 20.

It doens´t matter. When a file is received at CIO is stamped with the date in red and that´s the date considered when opening the application.
I said red because my returned file last year was in that color.

Hi Canol / Diplomatru or any other senior availabe on at the moment,

Could you please put your comments on my below understanding about the big change that CIC have done regarding FSW vsia processing centres around the globe. Previously the FSW applications of all the applicants from Middle East countries like Qatar,Bahrain and similarly applicants from Pakistan were being processed at London visa office. But with the latest update by CIC of their website, i have noticed that London is no longer going to process the cases of FSW from Middle East residents/nationals or Pakistani Nationals.

Please see below link:-

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/london.asp


With the start of new year number of visa offices processing FSWP applications have increased dramatically. CIC have included several countries in their list of FSW applications processing Visa offices assigned with FSWP applications processing. Even CIC have re-started the processing of FSW applications at several Visa Offices in several countries of the world. For example Abu Dhabi and Islamabad were discontinued in the past for processing of FSW applications and all the applicants from Middle East and Pakistan were routed to London Visa office. But now it seems that they have re-started processing of FSW applications at these two visa offices and along with these two visa offices several other visa offices around the world have been included the list of visa offices processing FSW applications. I think that the reason could be to speed up the processing. Because for Express Entry CIC have been advertising that they will try to take decision within 6-months of less for Express Entry selected applicants. Therefore to speed up the process they have increased the number of visa offices permitted to process FSWP applications.

Please refer the latest update table on the following link and this page is created on 1st Jan 2015:-

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp

For example when I select my country of residence which is Qatar, it takes you to below link:-
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp#q

For people residing in Qatar legally for more then one year and applying for Federal Skilled Workers (FSWP) category their case processing will be done at Abu Dhabi. Similarly people applying from Pakistan their FSWP application final processing will be done at Islamabad Visa office.

Could you please provide your opinion in this regard. It looks like that it might speed up the case processing at FSW application processing at VO.

I did not know it. In our country, we can.

Found that Indian passport can be re-issued if appearance is changed. So indirect work method could be change the photograph and get a new one 8) 8) . I guess, every seven-eight years, appearance does changes a bit.

that's again renewal and not Reissuance where only details can be changed but not tenor and date validity

Bro but applicants who applied in June under fsw 2014 have already started receiving PPR's. And applicants who applied around Feb time under fsw 2013 are still receiving PPR's.

So application filled in ending months of FSW 13 are still reaching or not reached to a final decision and still we can see final decision taken for FSW,14 in parallel.

It is not backlog my friend
The fellow applied in feb and received PPR in Jan is within normal time frame.

If someone had applied in feb, he would have received PER in may june and MR in oct nov

What you expect is that if an application filed in ending months of FSW 13 should be reach to a final decision before FSW,14 starts

Documents received on 21st. Oct.(2133). Waiting for CC to be charged.

DONT TAKE IT ON HEART, ITS MY OPINION ON AN ISSUE....NOT APPLICABLE TO EVERYONE

a while ago I discussed one problem of immigration for new immigrants.......that despite our credentials get assessed against heavy fees and are then accepted and proved by wes/ces or others that they are equivalent to Canadian educational levels at bachelor or masters.......yet still we are required to get some sort of Canadian education to score good jobs.

in response to this query and to share their own opinions and experiences, there are some mates who discussed something about how their relatives or friends got good jobs within one year of immigrating to Canada.

they gave examples like their relatives who were already in either US, Australia or Europe.......they migrated to Canada and landed perfect CAD$100000 + jobs per anum in the very first or lets say the 2nd year of migrating. in the end of the paragraph, the person wrote that as minimum wage in Canada is CAD$11 and can earn CAD$1700 per month which is very good for passing a survival life.

now, the first two lines of above example is like a perfect fairy tale.......u land in Canada from already 1st world countries.....without gaining Canadian experience and Canadian education within in one year u r on a CAD$100000+ job! wow......a dream come true isn't it?
then comes the last line of the above example......the person shockingly talked about exactly opposite thing....from CAD$100000 he jumped to merely just CAD$1700 and proved that how can u survive in it!......it was like kicked out from Lamborghini in to Suzuki!

may be the example was true......but for whom? people migrating from already 1st world countries? already having good international education and experiences?......those are less than 5% people..........we here on this forum are from 3rd world countries..........mostly.........say 90%......wo don't already earn 5 figures salary in any 1st world country......so why showing these green gardens to us?

yes the reality is.......I haven't heard a single person immigrated from Asian country got a CAD$100000+ job in its 1st year! that also without Canadian experience and education!.........there can be exceptions but that count for less than 1%. we here represent 99% of those who will survive on that CAD$1700 in the very first year!

so people the thing is.....please don't give such examples to us.......these things are good in dreams, films and fairy tales. instead talk the truth. that doesn't mean we cant achieve our dreams........I wish and pray we all may get a salary in 7 or 8 figures but we all also know that will take time, not just like in the very first year! the realities are harsh and difficult and sounds bad initially but it really doesn't hurt much.....many people start dreaming about a perfect life and when they face initial hard ships, they broke down or lose hope.......look at the figure of immigrants leaving Canada just cos they came with high green dreams but couldn't do it and at last they quit.

more than 50% people have some sort of contacts in Canada already.......like relatives or friends or anything..........but believe me......there are people who are going 1st time, they have no one there......not a single person they know.......they go there with their families, start a life, start a struggle...........but if we speak like this and show them fairy tale things, then they are shattered rapidly than others when hard time prolongs....I am one of these people......I don't want us LONELY people to get lost in life due to any green dreams. tell us horror stories or difficulties, we wont move an inch, instead we will put 300% struggle into it, but if any of us is lost due to these examples than who is to blame for?

Century, passport cannot be reissued more than 1 year before expiry of current passport.

But it can be lost....Register FIR n get a new passport.....

It is mentioned "Federal Skilled Workers, Federal Skilled Trades and Canadian Experience Class : Express Entry

Start-up visa, Self-employed persons and Provincial nominees: London

All other applications: Abu Dhabi"
which means that FSWP and EE will be processed at LVO and other applications will be at ADVO

Just visit the following recently updated link of LVO:-

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/london.asp

You can notice that they have categorically and clearly mentioned in their latest update on their page on 1st Jan 2015 :-

"Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, for Self-employed and Start-up visa only

Pakistan, for Self-employed, Start-up visa, Quebec-selected skilled worker, PNP and family sponsorship applications"

So, LVO will not process FSW applications for the residents/nationals of the above countries mentioned in blue color.
FSW applications for rsidents/nationals of "Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen" will be processed at Abu Dhabi Visa Ofifce (ADVO).
FSW applications of Nationals/Residents of Pakistan will be processed Islamabad Visa office (IVO).

Again request seniors, what is their opinion about this and about my previous post.

brother since 2012 the Pakistani applicants applying from Pakistan are advised to submit their passports to Islamabad for visa stamping, before it they have send it to abu dhabi.

so by including Islamabad the cio doesn't intend to process Pakistani cases at Islamabad, they will be processed at London but visa stamping or interview thing will be done at Islamabad. and that is what is happening since 2012. all the interviews if called are conducted at Islamabad and visas are already being stamped there.

I don't know about other visa offices being included, but their purpose will be similar, just doing interviews, or some sort of background checking and visa stamping, nothing more than that cos it makes no logic as fswp is no more, hence there is no purpose to add more visa offices to deal with fswp cases.

Congrats and +1 to you !!
