Hi wespoint. Could you please help me in two issues in the new document checklist of FSW.

1- I did my masters but havent recieved the degree as to get the degree i have to submit GMAT score. I cant do it at this time. However , i have the original transcript . will it suffice?

2- how can one give proof of number of years studied? as asked in the new checklist? isnt the degree and transcripts enough proof? isnt it obvious that if you have your masters you would have completed your bachelors and all previous degrees?

3- Checklist asks for fathers birth certificate to prove his relationship to his sister in canada. However , In my country (Pakistan) it is not easy/ possible as my father was born in 1947/48. Can i submit some other document or is there an alternative?

Please reply so that i can take care of these issues. I will be grateful.

warm regards
Fadoo,

1) From my reading of the rules, I believe you will only get maximum points for a complete degree (i.e. when your diploma has been issued). However, you will get points for the amount of years of education you have completed.

2) The best proof of education is sealed university transcripts. Anything else does not hold the same weight or legitimacy. If you are sending your transcripts, there is no need for further evidence of education.

3) I assume your aunt is in Canada. If you are unable to prove your relationship to your Aunt, the best option is to write a detailed note in your application indicating why it is difficult to get a birth certificate for your father. Instead you can try and use notarized copies of other documents e.g. Pakistani ID cards or Passports etc to prove the relationship between your aunt and father. You would probably have to find a document for both your aunt and father, which clearly states the names of your grandparents.

Hope that helps.

Good Luck!

dont worry, by tomorrow you application will reach halifax and from there in maximum one day it will reach. it usually takes two days from hamilton to the final destination.

dont worry about the caps...you will surely be within limit.

wow....these cic people are giving goose bumps man.

the first surprise was to see the figure of 52 in 1122 category. very less than expected. and then once again a bigger surprise with a drastic jump to 187 in just five days.

and good to see a lot of guessing work going on with the numbers.

many people had started applying only after the 2nd week and thats why we saw such a jump in figures. i think we might see the next level to 250 for 1122 in the next update. its good for people who are still preparing for filing their application. but its time to hurry up now. but i think atleast by august end the caps will be open.

and also seeing many people getting impatient about their BD.

please note the bd usually gets charged by around two weeks. and for some banks it also takes around 3-7 days to update their home country systems. so it might be possible for many that their bd has been charged but their banks are still not updated.

so just start checking with banks only after 15 days from the date when your application was received.

This sounds interesting so it might be true that I got my DB encashed already, It's been 2 weeks since my application was received, and the bd was issued by a canadian bank!

Like I said before, Yesterday my mother went to the bank (Canadian bank) to ask if the BD was charged and they told her it was but the system wouldn't show the date it was charged. She works, so she will try to ask again next week. They won't give info by phone.
What I'm asking if there were confirmation by other members of this forum since I seem to be the first one with a BD charged, although some applicants before me have not gotten their cc/bd charged.
Patients and hope we will get confirmation in the coming days.

added dear. you're not an administrator that's y u can not type it there. kindly update us once u hear from CIO.

btw, did u use the barcoded form? as well as the forms w/c CIC website posted recently this july? thanks
Yup, got the chance to change to a barcoded form at the very last minute but not the others forms attached to it....that's the reason why im nervous and near to freaking out...is there a possibility that all my documents will be returned because of that? hope not :(

i understand all old forms will be accepted until nov 2011, am i right?
