Please colleagues, can someone help explain the meaning of background check not applicable? A friend is having this issue and it's inconveniencing him. It's usually in progress or something like that. Please help. Any useful input will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi SDKD,

Are you talking about medical fees?

First, we'll finish the CIC fees.

Visa processing fees:

550 CAD per adult for visa processing

150 CAD per minor kid (19 years and below) for visa processing

Right for permanent resident fees (RPRF):

490 CAD per adult

Not applicable to dependent children

Medical fees:

Each clinic has their own fees. I did a thorough analysis of which on is the cheapest in my area. Some were cheaper than the other but travel time, inconveniences and the fuel charge factored inside, most of them are more or less the same.

It may differ country-wise also, I think.

We were two adults with two kids. Each adults fees was 850 AED and 400 AED per kid. Total 2500 AED.

Around 44000 INR.

Yeah, very expensive in my opinion. They're making home runs! CIC doesn't want to control all that and no regulated ranges or anything.

The tests they do are very basic! Some basic blood and urine tests and one chest x-ray for adults. No chest x-ray or blood test for kids. Maybe needed depending on history and findings. Please call and ask the clinics.

All the best!

Luder
Thanks a lot Luder for your brief information. :D :D

hello house,

I got this letter of refusal from nova scotia.I am wondering if getting a letter from my manager can make them re-open my file.

I am writing in reference to your application under the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP), Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry Stream, file ##### The Nova Scotia Office of Immigration (NSOI) has assessed your application, and has refused your application based on the following:

You do not meet the eligibility criteria which requires that you have at least one year of work experience in one of our demand occupations.

You have applied under NOC 6235 / Financial Sales Representative, a demand occupation listed in the Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry Application Guide, Appendix 1.

All of the evidence supplied in your application including the recently received NOC Experience Match Table, letter from your employer dated March 24, 2017 and documents received 29 March 2017 have been carefully assessed. It has been determined your employment experience does not match the duties indicated in NOC 6235. Therefore, we do not find that you hold at least one year work experience in one of our demand occupations as listed in Appendix 1.
Your employment experience has been found to match NOC 6551/Customer Service Representatives – Financial Institutions which is not listed as a demand occupation in the above-mentioned Appendix 1.

If your situation changes and you choose to reapply to the NSNP, we would be happy to assess your new application with the eligibility criteria in place at that time.

The Province of Nova Scotia will be nominating a limited number of people under the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) this year. It is essential that we choose candidates who meet the eligibility criteria, as these individuals are considered likely to best contribute to the economic development and growth of the province and to successfully establish themselves.

As your application has been refused, your file has been closed.
Hai abigailsule,

You haven't check the NOC job description before??If so you can just inform your employer to provide such types of job description in your experience letter. You cant provide any experience as in same NOC within last 10yrs??If so we can ask them to reopen ur application.

I dont have any words to convince you..actually feels so sad....

There will be another door opened for you...dont worry. God bless you..

Hi oksma,

Hope you are doing fine. There is not a problem in his application. Its a new format in express entry. So in other way it means background check not needed at this time. Whoever application had previously been that not needed at this time, with new format it says not applicable.

It would hardly take 10-15 days after the AOR.
