Ray of Hope - 74th Draw

[wickerman]

Hey man, that's odd coz mine reached on 6th July and they opened it 10 days ago, now happy to say that I got hard copy yesterday. They sent it to France and it took 3-4 business days to reach. Hope yours should arrive in any time soon.
Good luck and All the best in your Post-ITA process.

Yeah but they are installing a new software system. so after 7th of July, they have slowed down big time.

The draw was on Oct 4th and the table is as of Sep 28th. The difference is people that got added in between.
Best of luck

By any chance are you from TCS?

A bit off topic but request your thoughts on the below query:

My organisation has denied me to provide any reference letter and even any denial mail for the same. However I have managed to obtain letter of reference from one of my senior colleagues but from a different department. My question is whether CIC calls the employer to check about the person who has given the reference because I do not want his job to be in trouble. I am submitting his visiting card and ID copy along with the letter.

Also I have managed to obtain a generic employment confirmation letter from my current employer which is issued to all employees for Visa purposes which also I am planning to submit to CIC.

In need of opinions on the above.

Thanks.

The reference letter and employment confirmation letter should do, but try to attach as many formal documents to corroborate the contents of the reference letter as possible. They wouldn't call your employer. If at all, they may call the colleague who provided the reference letter. In my case, I didn't even ask for the reference letter from my employer as I knew I won't get. I got a reference letter from one of my ex-managers on a plain paper along with his business card. In addition to this, I provided a whole lot of documents to establish the contents of the letter; my latest salary hike letter, all promotion letters and offer letter. Luckily, my employer is in the habit of providing formal letters for everything, which came handy. I feel it is better to get the reference letter from your current or past manager and attach at least one formal letter on company letterhead with his/her signature to establish that he/she is/was indeed your manager. I wrote a detailed explanation letter as to why I didn't provide reference letter in company's letterhead and explained all that I have provided. Got my application approved without a question or a phone call .

However, this is only my case and will vary on case-to-case basis depending on what documents you submit and how receptive the visa officer is ...

Same situation for me. I am attaching the following:

- Reference letter from the person who recruited me - who eventually became Director of the organization I was part of. He has now moved on to another firm. So I got the letter on plain paper.

- I am attaching my offer letter.

- I am attaching my salary slips (not all of them, only what I have).

- I am attaching all salary increment letters.

- My relieving letter

- My experience certificate

- The director's experience certificate that shows the overlap in our work times.

Not sure what else I can attach lol.

Hi fellas a small query,

As i may face difficulty in acquiring roles and duties from my employer on a letter head. I am planning to remove all my experience and enter the pool which brings My crs to 421.

Is it mandatory to have work experience for obtaining PR?

 

[ganesh2583]

Hey guys,

My score is 475 and I got an ITA in the last draw(#74). Unfortunately, I don't have bank statements to support my Proof of Funds. Trying to get them within 90 days.

Regards,
Ganesh

Sorry for being the odd one as I don't see anyone having crs less than 400 here.
Iam all out of hope and thoughts ... my score is 338 (will try improving as much as possible) will I ever get an ITA .

Dont worry iam at 355 and still quite hopefull!!!meanwhile try to improve your score as iam doing the same.best of luck

If OINP does not reopen before my NOI expires on January 11 and I don't get PNP by February, I will drop 11 points on my birthday to join you guys at 399. If you guys are also ICT workers, we all stand a chance for NOI when OINP reopens if they have another week of sending NOIs to ICT workers under 400 as they did at the end of this June. Many of these <400 ICT workers have been getting OINP these days. I am also doing whatever I can to improve my score (although my only options are learning French, getting job offer with LMIA, or getting PNP). Just being 400+ at least puts us in a better position to get PNP.

 

[FaithandFavor]

I have a question will OINP refund you your application fee if they send you a NOI if at the time your application is submitted they have reached the quota?

 

[FaithandFavor]

You dont need to demonstrate that you meet the employment requirements for canada if you are applying under foreign work exp. All you need is a CIC format work exp letter with duties and responsibilities as long as your exp is under NOC O, A, B you are good to chose any you dont need to show that you were qualified for that except for doctors and lawyers ofcourse.

Thank you for your response!

 

[trumprefugee]

He uploaded loe and all evidences along with application
He raised cse to upload the pcc which he received after submitting his application waiting till the last date
Yes he could appeal which is tedious and the decision might not always be in applicants favour. So he rather preferred to come back to the pool and resubmit with all docs as it was easier and quicker

Is it possible to file an appeal while also coming back into the pool? I'd think it would be good to do both simultaneously if possible ... all along the lines of keeping all options open for those of us with lower scores ... but if his CRS is high then yes, it's easier and faster just to re-enter the pool and wait a bit.

But we are not interested to add my name due to some work

 

[Joshy1979]

You can apply together and keep your wife as PA.
PCC has to be submitted after receiving ITA when you submit your application for PR.

We are not interested to add my name for the time

Dear Abhishek,

I have been closely following up your predictions.
I am at 429 points. Please tell me if there is any chance as i have suspended so many career plans for immigration.
I am literally standing on PAUSE button.
Now i scared as i am loosing my precious time here in India...
But immigration is my goal which will change me and my daughter's future.
Please reply..Thanking in advance..

Vandana

I'm in the same boat, standing on the pause button with career plans suspended for too long. However, you have a good score and are close. Once the 2018 quotas are announced, the CRS should drop and you should get direct ITA , almost certainly by the end of this year. Unfortunately my score is much lower and will drop under 400 in February if I don't get OINP by then.
