Guys,
on the main FSW 2014 thread, a valuable member (forum name - ToCanadawithLove - unfortunately he got his file returned) has posted "Reason of Returns Letter" written by CIC to him. he has uploaded the whole letter.

This is the checklist which CIC use to verify whether our applications are complete or not (when they receive our applications at CIO -NOVA SCOTIA)​

so i request to you (everyone) who is going to apply, please read this document carefully and make sure you do not make any mistake which is listed.


click on the image, it will become large.

please also pray for that member, may God help him to get success for his new application.​

LANDING EXPERIENCE


Hello Folks!

I am back from Canada. It has been quite a while since my last post. I was busy with some travel and the Canada landing. Here is my landing experience.


I landed in Canada on 26 August 2014. I was already in UK for a trip, so I took a flight from London to Toronto. The flight was via Montreal. My destination in Canada as per my application was Calgary.

I landed in Montreal and was done with my immigration /landing formalities in a short while. The wait in the queue took an hour ..the immigration formalities itself took 15 minutes. I had nothing with me, just a small bag and no funds , no list of items to follow.

Immi Officer: How much funds are you carrying funds with you?
Me: Zero. Only cards.

Immi Officer: Okay. So how much money do you have at your disposal to be transferred to canada for your settlement?
Me: 30,000 CAD

Immi: Any goods to declare?
Me: Nothing.

Immi: ( Looking at my bag) Is that all you luggage ?
Me : Yes.

Immi: Any goods to follow?
Me: May be some items. My wife will landed later so she will get them

Immi: Address in Canada?
Me: ( my sisters address)

And that was it. He gave me the welcome to canada look and the book
Next day I rented a car and went to Service Ontario office. Got my SIN in 5 minutes. Checked a few banks for accounts,CC, etc.
Stayed in Canada for 7 days as a tourist. And returned. My sister will send me the PR card by post later.


If anybody has any queries regarding landing, feel free to drop me a line.

Good luck to all.

Regards

Congrats on safe Landing,
one more thing ...your details have made a lot of applicant relaxed, because there is a perception that its is a tough stage.......and need this this this this this......

The given name (first name) of the passport-holder must be clearly printed on the Given Name line of the bio-data page of each passport. The surname (last name) of the passport-holder must be clearly printed on the Surname line of the bio-data page of each passport. They should match your Updated Information Chart.

I copied here the instructions regarding name which I found in PPR email

Dear FSW, tell me one thing, you have greeted prince @ September 16, 2014, 03:40:01 pm

Whereas I am seeing his 3rd line updated msg @ September 16, 2014, 03:53:21 pm

how you have greeted before he had posted? sitting each other

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
let me share the secret! you know that "Tantarik Baba" who floods this forum in the morning time with his Ads
"World famous, love specialist, get you ex back etc etc etc", he is my friend.
he always tells me whats going to be happened..... :-*

well honestly, (seriously) i dont know whats wrong with the time slot, i just noticed when i saw your post, i don't know why? but i did not post on 16 Sep, it was 17 Sep and early morning time. ?​

may be its due to sevrer location that the time is being shown 16 Sep.......!!!!

BTW what do you think about "Tantrik Baba"...

 

[F_S_W]

but biometric system applies only for visit visa. why they are making in P.R

PR is exempted!

Congratulation Amir. Who is your Program Assistant/ VO?

 

[Ksa01]

Dear Vijay,

Congrats for step a head.
Who is your visa officer and when did you receive your PPRs and medicals?
I am also waiting to hear for PP request , medicals done on 11th.
Also how long it took for you to see medicals uploaded after medical done.

Many thanks

Really its a great info and can us more patience

.

 

[prince_of_darkness]

Not really sure if this is the case with the backlog. Biometrics have been in VFS London from a long time and also biometrics are required for Visitor Visa and other Temporary Visas.

While searching the possible reason for delay in PPR2 and for delay is visa pasting (on passports already submitted to KSA, UAE or ISB VO's), I reached to VFSGlobal (London) site and found the following notice:

Please be informed that biometrics is operational at the Canada Visa Application Centre. We thank you for your patience and regret the inconvenience this may have caused.

This indicates that in past (assuming Aug 2014) LVO was up-grading their system and that now it has been fixed..........so I feel this delay is due to backlog ..... hopefully it should be cleared in coming days.

 

[prince_of_darkness]

its not about darkness.
just a name from an old song.
still the name remains the same. lol

congrats prince. I hope No more darkness on your file. So you can change your name

 

[prince_of_darkness]

Never understood the time showed

Though I am in London at the moment but the server is in China.
So cant say much about the system time.

Dear FSW, tell me one thing, you have greeted prince @ September 16, 2014, 03:40:01 pm
