Tips to Folks applying for CIC : -

In addition to the checklist of documents that you include to be sent to CIC ,
please include the following to fasten your application process

1.) State PCC 's from all states that you have resided. Please ensure that the dates on the PCC's do not exceed at a maximum of more than 4 months

2.) Notarized pay stubs from your Employer ( This is not a requirement but please do send it if you have it current)

3.) If you do not have a paystub, please send a copy of the employment letter of your current holder of your H1B ( This too is not a requirement)

4.) A visiting card if you do have one


Thanks and Regards,
Krishna
I would not encourage to send extra stuffs it does not make any sense to me that it actually helps to speed up process. if thats case why not send medical reports along with the application that will save you some time and also original passport...inbtw why do you want to make things difficult for other applicants. if you send pay stubb copy what if they start asking to every applicant to submit paystub copy. this type of thing happned with Alberata nomination time and now they are asking every individul to send recent paystub. Still no one is stopping anyone to go beyond what CIC is asking. it's free country right? But think twice before you take such step as it might hurt someone else's application. if they ask me i would have my paystub ready for them but i am concern about folks out there not able to give paystub and still in US just becuase they can get the PR in their hand before they leave US and holding H1b visa on Banch without pay. Sending them notice of Action 797A isnt enough to prove our legal status in US? think about it.
I followed the check list for CIC.
Didn't sent I797-A It came right back lost one month.
Didn't sent paystubs. They asked for it. Donno how much time will it take.

The reason why we have a discussion forum like this is to inform members about the latest requirements from CIC.

If one has the documents then they could send it. Other members in the forum is not going to make up for the lost time.
If you read below........ clearly mentioned what buffalo is looking for in application..................................

Helpful Hints
Provincial Nominee and Quebec Skilled Worker Applications Submitted to the Buffalo Regional Program Centre


Securely staple the cost recovery cheque to the bottom front page of the application form (IMM 0008 Generic) so that it can be easily seen when the application package is opened.

Place immigration photos in an envelope and staple the envelope to the second page of the application being careful not to put a staple through the photos.

Do not use binders, page protectors, report covers, or excessive paperclips to divide the documents. If the application contains numerous supporting documents, hold them together with a rubber band.

Make sure that application forms have been signed.

A - Application package
Arrange the submitted documents in this order:

IMM 0008 Generic (Application for Permanent Residence in Canada) with fee attached
IMM 0008 Schedule 1 (Background/Declaration) for principal applicant
IMM 0008 Schedule 4 (Intent to reside declaration for Provincial Nominees)

or


IMM 0008 Schedule 5 (Intent to reside declaration for Quebec Skilled Workers)
IMM 5406 (Additional Family Information) for principal applicant
IMM 0008 Schedule 1 (Background/Declaration) for spouse and children aged 18 and over
IMM 5406 (Additional Family Information) for spouse and children aged 18 and over
Copies of bio data pages of passports for principal applicant and dependents
IMM 5476 (Use of a representative form) If a representative has been appointed
B - Supporting Documents
Representative covering letter if a representative has been appointed.
Copies of identity documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce and custody documents)
Police certificates from each country or territory where you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.
State police certificates
National police certificates

Provincial Nominee Certificate (for Provincial Nominees)

or


Certificat de sélection du Québec, CSQ (for Quebec Skilled Workers)
To avoid having the application package returned:
Regulation 12 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations states that if certain requirements are not met, the application and all documents submitted in support of the application shall be returned to the applicant.

Be sure to submit the processing fee in the correct amount.

Complete the sections of the application regarding Membership or association with organizations, Government positions and Military service. If you had no such memberships or associations, write "Not Applicable" or "N/A" in the space provided. Do not leave these sections blank.

Show your complete personal history since age 18, leaving no time period unaccounted for when showing employment/educational history and residential history.

Provide proof of one year lawful admission to the USA, Canada, Bermuda, or St. Pierre et Miquelon. This could be in the form of an entry stamp in your passport or a status document issued at the Port of Entry or other place of admission. If an extension of the original status has been granted, the evidence required would be a document or stamp issued by the ministry responsible for immigration matters, providing an extension up to one year or beyond.
To avoid delays in processing:
Provide a detailed explanation if any of the questions in Section 9 of IMM 0008 Schedule 1 were answered "yes".

Provide detailed statement, in applicant’s (or dependent’s) own words, concerning any criminal charges or immigration enforcement actions against applicant or dependents.

Attach a statement with details for any out of the ordinary situations regarding marital status or dependents; such as:

separated/ estranged from spouse;
custody of children;
multiple marriages/divorces;
Clearly indicate whether dependants will be accompanying the principal applicant to Canada (anyone age 18 or over requires criminal and security screening whether they are accompanying or not).

Clearly show the principal applicant’s full name, date of birth, and file number on any documents or information submitted subsequent to the original submission.

Refunds
Processing Fees are Non-refundable:
The Department of Citizenship and Immigration charges fees to partially recover the cost of providing some of these services to the public. Since the processing fee helps defray the cost of processing your application it cannot be refunded even if your application is unsuccessful or you withdraw your application before it has been concluded.

Right of Permanent Residence Fees are Refundable:
The Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) is paid for the right to obtain permanent resident status in Canada. The fee is partial compensation for the many benefits and privileges that permanent resident status confers. This fee will be refunded for unsuccessful immigrant applications or for those who withdraw their applications or otherwise abandon immigration to Canada before the visa has been used. Right of Permanent Residence Fee refunds are issued by the office that concluded your application. Right of Permanent Residence Fee refunds for all Family Class applications are issued by the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.

The Canadian Consulate General issues Right of Permanent Residence Fee refunds in the form of a U.S. dollar cheque, made payable to the principal applicant. There are no exceptions.
