Hi Asivad/Anac,

I got ITA on 10 Feb and filling forms before the document checklist.

I have one query:

I was in UK for 2 months in 2013. Do I need to mention that address as well in my address history section along with my other addresses in post ITA forms ? Please suggest. I know PCC is NA for UK as I have stayed less than 6 months.

Please see below the details for your ease:

Feb 2003- Sep 2013 - Address 1 (In Pune/India)
Sep 2013- Oct 2013 - Address 2 (In London/UK)
Oct 2013- Till date – Same above address of Pune/India (Address 1)

Please suggest do I need to mention Address 2 as well in the address History section or can I go ahead with mentioning Address 1 from Feb 2003-Till date ??

I have already declared UK travel in travel history section. Please help on above query

Hi Asivad,

Thank you very much for your clear answers in detail.

I have another question related to my conditions I mentioned in my previous post when I filled the EE online forms today.

1. I had a refused and closed application to Nova Scotia Province Nominee Program 3 years ago and the reason of refusal is the settlement and employment plan did not meet the eligibility criteria. It was a paper-based application and all the paper documents I submitted were returned. I addressed honestly my previous application in the process of applying SINP (Saskatchewan’s PNP) and passed the SINP. Now I am preparing to apply for permanent residence under the Saskatchewan’s PNP.

How to answer the following questions in the "Immigration history and citizenships " subcategory of EE forms?

Has XXX applied to Citizenship and Immigration Canada before? (Y/N)?

Thank you so much.

Hi Asivad

I came to know that while sending the case specific enquiry, we cannot send directly to CIC, we can only send to the specific visa office. But as i got the AOR on 30th Nov and i dont know my VO, so where to send the case specific enquiry?
Also we dont have any option to attach the LOE in CSE. So where to write the explanation.

Thanks in advance

You may write an LOE and add it to the end or beginning of the other document and then convert all of them to one pdf file.
I have seen a case where the applicant submitted CSE to CIC and LVO and then after some time he was asked to send CSE to another LVO. So even if you send CSE to a wrong LVO, they will contact you and provide you with your LVO.
All the best,

Use this link for generic CSE ---> https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Choose 'Express Entry' in the drop down menu. You can attach documents up to 2 Mb.

Hello Asivad,

I am trying to assess my masters degree through this WES link:

www wes org/ca/evaluations/preliminary asp

But i couldn't locate my institute in the list provided in this tool for India.

Does it means WES will not be able to assess my masters as my Institute is not present in the WES list of Indian Institutes and sending them documents and paying money will go in vain?

Hi

My AOR date is 19th Sept, hopefully this week or next week I should get PPR.
However, I have a question -

my wife is travelling to India for next two months. And I have a plan to travel after one month too for one month.
What should I do if I will get PPR in that time ?

should I change her stamping office to India or I should get her Passport through courier ?
Or, should I request cic to wait for two months ?

is anybody here having similar situation ?

What will be the convenient way for this situation.
