[islamabad786]

Same thing - In Pakistan, we call it Marksheet instead of transcript

i am confused..


what is the difference between MARKSHEET and TRANSCRIPT...

 

[islamabad786]

Do I need fresh reference letter from my supervisor or I can use the one I initially sent to Ontario before nomination. Although my responsibilities are same but designation and salary has changed since then. Anyone who had already submitted docs in response to letter?

 

[zain92]

If things are same (like designation + salary + duties + role + any thing else) then send the same documents

if things are changed then do send fresh copies..

Dear Baljinder ,

You need licence if

Licensing by a provincial or territorial association of professional engineers is required to approve engineering drawings and reports and to practise as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.).


Tell me as a Software Developer which engineering drawings you are going to approve ? You will have a software design document and then you will be coding programs as per High / Low Level design. I would say that you should not confuse yourself. As a simple software engg , who works in Application Development does not need any Licence. I am working here in this field and I do not need any licence ( I just need Driver's Licence to drive my car.... just kidding ) . Its just that you cant use P.Eng. title without this Licence, but you can work as software developer. PEO says that stop calling yourself Engineer and say Developer now onward unless you pay them Licencing fees . AS per my understanding you can't get this Licence within a month ( Time given by CIC to submit documents ) & this was not the requirement of this program. This requirement is applicable to Master's Degree / PhD stream candidates through Ontario PNP Program and they are already living and working in Canada.

In Canada you will find most of the designations as Application Developer, Application Analyst, Application Designer, Specialist Development, Sr Specialist Development etc....


Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), a regulatory body that ensures public safety by setting standards for admission, issuing licences to practise professional engineering, and regulating the practice of engineering in Ontario.

I do not think that you will ever require this licence, unless you work in Medical Software, Software for Traffic Signalling system, NASA , Environment Canada, or any other Software development where your software is dealing with Public safety and security. Tell me do you think your developed software running over a server in a Bank or a Financial Institution can cause any kind of threat to Public Safety or Security , if the answer is no then you will not need this licence. Companies will let you know if they need this Licence as part of their job requirement but for sure this is not the requirement for coming to Canada under this FSW Ontario Pilot Program .

Since you all belong to Backlog Pilot program a part of federal skill worker which Ontario is no longer offering, so i believe that you all would be accessed under current foreign worker program of Ontario PNP and the things CIC asked are all basic requirements of foreign workers.

New rules are not applicable to the old applications. Rules / requirements which were present at the time of application are applicable to these applicants. New rules are only possible if Canada makes it a law by introducing a new Bill in the Parliament ( example they passed a bill in parliament to refuse all the pending pre year 2008 applications ) , For 600 Applicants I assume around 200- 300 of which are already processed, and for the remaining 300 ones they will not introduce a new bill in the Parliament .

This is my assumption that it is just a generic e-mail coming to all the applicants, there are only very few cases who belong to this category, they might not be having a flag in their system / database to mark these cases as special cases, so while sending mass mailing every one is getting an e-mail.

 

[O_Canada]

any idea regarding transcripts asked, especially Indian applicants as you know it might take almost a month to obtain fresh transcripts from university. Can I email then the same mark sheets and degree certificates that I had send them during pnp application, as all those are in English itself , so no need for translations.

Unless this word is written : Certified True Copies of Transcripts :

If above word is not written in the document requirements , then just Take Photo Copies of Front / backside on both sides of Marks Sheet ( Asian Word ) / Transcript ( North American Word ) , get them Notarized if you want to add another layer of authenticity and then send them. Bingo !!!!

 

[islamabad786]

Exactly - Same point i am trying to address on this thread that rules cannot be changed in the middle of processing. North America is well developed country where rule of law prevails. For those of you, who are/were living in North America know there is no jungle law there like undeveloped countries of the world. Every company/ organization, indiviual tries to avoid situation/action which result in law suit against them. Furthermore, most of applicants have been issued visas on the basis of ontario backlog reduction pilot program criteria (PR/Visas cannot be revoked either unless they violate something or new bill is passed) so same rule will be applied to remaining applicants to avoid any discremination clause. Any new eligibility critieria will be enforced before applicant apply for that program. The eligibility criteria for applications under processing cannot be amended unless parliament pass a new bill which is very unlikely for 200-300 applicants.

Just keep in mind - If the purpose of CIC is to re-evaluate your application to see if quality assurance process is enforced, they will do it on the basis of Pilot program criteria ( if you belong to software industry, you know that QA is done against particular set of requirements/specifications). Just make sure whatever documents/reference letter (applicable to you) you are providing are true and consistent with whatever you provided earlier at the time of PNP application. Otherwise, your applicantion may be rejected on the basis of hiding true information

Just for the info - Checked with my bank. My DD for landing fee was encashed in the fourth week of July. The LVO had received it in the 2nd week of July

 

[zain92]

congratulation Islamabad..

i asked to my money exchanger and he told me that it would be matter of 1 month and will take 1000 rs charge..

can you tell me what is the procedure of asking to bank directly...

 

[islamabad786]

I have dollar account with the bank. I dropped copy of DD with bank yesterday and they asked me to call them today as they needed to get this information from Branch dealing with international money transfer in Karachi. I asked them to make sure it is en-cashed before this bank close its operation in Pakistan.

It should be a matter of one or two days for money changer as they may be keeping account with some bank.

[zain92]

is it really beneficial to have dollar account in long term for our immigration?

 

[islamabad786]

Yes, but always keep with some good international level bank. You will also need it just for your satisfaction (when you are ready to land in Canada) for DD you are carrying with you. I have a bitter experience with a local bank as they wasted my time in issuing checkbook and reactivating my dormant account. When I did that after a hassle of 10 days and then deposited money in my account for landing fee, they told me that they cannot make DD as their exisitng contract with Canadian bank is over and they are re-negociating a new contract with some other bank and that will take time.
