Congrats!
Thanks in advance.
 
Not related to our much awaited PER's, MR's & PPR's..

Just wanted to share below for the benefit of us all in our venture to dreamland.. and can help to prepare for this kind situations..

Shared by one of the senior member here in the forum.

Good day to all! :) :) :) :)


It does not need a view point but a cruel reality. Only a very insignificant percentage get job at the same level as in the home country but rest struggle. "Canadian Experience" is a discrimination against which Ontario Human Rights Association seems building awareness. Some of the excerpt is given below from the site http://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/policy-removing-%E2%80%9Ccanadian-experience%E2%80%9D-barrier

"Statistics Canada reported that between 1991 and 2006, “the proportion of immigrants with a university degree in jobs with low educational requirements (such as clerks, truck drivers, salespersons, cashiers, and taxi drivers) increased.”

"Immigrant groups identify many barriers to finding jobs that correspond to their education, skills and experience. These include:

employers not recognizing foreign credentials and experience
language and communication difficulties (particularly relating to “occupational jargon”[5])
employers not helping them integrate into the workplace and not providing job-related learning opportunities
being rejected for positions because they are thought to be “overqualified”
arbitrary requirements for “Canadian experience”[6]
outright discrimination.[7]"

"In 2012, the OHRC did a public survey on requirements for Canadian experience in the employment sector. The OHRC received more than 1,000 responses from job seekers, regulatory body[12] applicants, employers and others. In addition, the OHRC consulted with a range of organizations and individuals, including agencies serving newcomers, employers, government and regulatory bodies. This background work showed that newcomers face Canadian experience requirements from employers at the job search stage.[13] They also face these obstacles when they try to get professional accreditation, as many regulatory bodies will not admit new members without prior work experience in Canada.[14]

When facing a requirement for Canadian experience, newcomers are in a very difficult position: they can't get a job without Canadian experience and they can't get Canadian experience without a job.[15] Responses to the OHRC's survey show that many newcomers turn to unpaid work (e.g. volunteering or internships) or “survival jobs” – low-skill work outside of their field of expertise – to meet the requirement for Canadian experience. For example, two survey respondents wrote:

[...] It took me a very long time to find a job and the one that I finally got was due to my many, many months of continuous hard work and long hours as a volunteer. The work I do now has nothing to do with what I went to college for. It was sad, depressing and a financially-draining struggle for me.

[...] The main reason that they cited [in support of their decision not to hire me] is lack of Canadian experience. I have all the qualifications and over 12 years of experience in a multi-cultural and fast-paced work environment, and I feel that I have good communication skills too. I have even offered to work without wages for a few weeks so that they can judge me and my work. I have started getting frustrated and am planning to go back. They say they need skilled workers but don't recognize your overseas experience."

The idea of posting above is not to propagate negativism but to mentally prepare for the worst if things don't get right in our way.

Note that for most of the province, you can get loan not for your educational expense but also some fund for family expenditure as parent student and most of the case you don't have to pay for the fund you receive against family expenditure. So you can maintain your family even if you admit to diploma/post graduate degree.

For getting job, all ensure you have a very very goo relationship with your current supervisor and take "letter of appreciation" preferably from three present/past supervisor/colleagues. Canadian employer give upmost importance to reference. They may even call your supervisor to know about it. Reference is almost mandatory.

Also go through http://www.hec.ca/en/current_student/careers/career_management_services/resources_for_you/understanding_canadian_job_market.html though it is addressed to international sstudent but some of the points are also relevant to us.
 
It's been quite recently, only few reports of good news. I believe most August applicants got through with PER as the first hurdle. And most are awaiting MR's now, which is quite a time-consuming wait it seems. But it will be worthwhile. All the best to us all Brothers and Sisters.

Congratulations!!!! :D

PER via snail mail??? Isn't it a bit strange?

At least you have got something, I have got nothing after my application on 8th August

@Mail4abid.....have you confirmed if your DD has been cashed?...we need to confirm all this to be able to know what has happened...

Hello. Just wondering if there are August 27 applicants who haven't heard anything from CIO yet. I submitted mine August 23 and it was received August 27. Until now, I haven't gotten any news. My bank can't even confirm if my bank draft has already been encashed. It's so frustrating to be left in the dark.


@Wigo...you are not alone my brother..you and i are both August 27th...i got DD cashed 4th Dec but no PER uptil now....why don't you pressurize the bank to at least let you know if DD has been cashed...can you pm me your number so that we can whatsapp and monitor each others progress...any other August 27th here yet to receive PER and CC/DD was cashed?can we identify ourselves?
 
Please i need to know something...my application was received August 27th under NOC 1212 and DD was encashed 4th Dec but since then i have not gotten the PER mail....i was advised that i try calling CIC as well as send a mail to that effect....i sent a mail but as we know it takes up to 50-60days for response to come..however i started calling CIC to see if i can get my UCI number which up to 20times within 3 weeks they refused giving me saying they cant give me the information i should e mail CIO. However i got lucky just now and they gave me my UCI number.When i checked the ECAS it showed my full name and IN PROCESS underlined.When i click on the IN PROCESS it said...We received your application on 27 August

please what does that mean....is it they sent PER and i didn't see it or they are yet to send?
