Hello All
I have been reading this forum and collecting information for the past few months. Also i have been spending time collecting documents required for the full application, in case my initial filing is approved. I must say that this forum is of enormous value to anybody hoping for canada immigration. It is not just the wealth of information alone, but the positive and helpful members that one find here, which is amazing. I also appreciate the fact that senior members always try to keep the momentum and energy and make sure that information is validated.The forum has helped me gain courage to file the application by myself. (I will find out if it was the right choice soon )

I am applying to CIO on march 10 th.
Booked IELTS for April 17 th
NOC code is 0213 - Manager - Software development

Here are the docs i am sending
Forms as in checklist and the checklist
Reference letters of current and previous employer (past 7 years)
Covering letter with job descriptions and responsibilities
DD for 1250 (3 members)
Copies of passports for all 3 (not notarized)
Self addressed Labels


I have the current reference letter in Letter head but the previous one is a scanned document, which my previous manager scanned and sent to me as he is currently out of country. it has all his contact information though.


How do you usually send it through? by Post or courier? Am in India, will registered post be ok?

Do you guys have any suggestion for me? anything i missed?

Wish me luck. Successful or not, i owe a lot to all the members here.

Hi first of all I wish u luck.

Please read the instructions, if you are sending the documents to Sydney NS then you only need to send the filled application forms and the fee with photo copy of Principal Applicant's Passport.

Guys more comments are welcome.

Regards,
Pankaj

 

[kris905]

Yeah right Pankaj, Passport copy of the principal applicant only. Thanks for pointing that out

Right cut,
The only thing i am sending extra is the reference letter from the current employer which validates my 1 yr of experience on the NOC 0231. Am not sending the other docs now. I managed to get one copy of the reference letter addressed to the CIO, so am sending that.
I know that is not mandatory or the IO may not even consider that.

 

[irshad2005]

Kris,

You don't even need to submit the ref letter of your employer to CIO.
Just mention all the information in the form.
Don't send anything else.
All the documents needs to be sent to CHC, New Delhi
So this is the list of documents which needs to be sent to CIO
* All forms
* Photo-Copy of the Passport (Notary not required)
* Self Addressed Mailing Labels
* Fees

Thats it....Nothing else needs to be submitted.
Once this is done then they respond you in 2-3 months.
So i hope everything is clear to you......
Best of Luck buddy......

But Irshad, I have read of cases where the IO reject application on the ground that there is not enough evidence provided which would justify that the applicant may not be appropriate for the NOC code. Do you mean a detailed covering letter is sufficient?

Thanks for the wishes. I need it

to justify your NOC you need to write detailed job description in Schedule 3 form against q.11.
write your JD in detail and use extra sheet if required.
at this stage they will only consider what you write here not the reference letter

Great, So i will not send the reference letter now. I will send it with the full application.
One concern i have is on the content of the reference letter i have, It has one line which says current job title which says Manager - Software development, but i joined the firm 4 years back as a supervising assosiate (Asst Manager). I was promoted as manager in 2008.
and my contract letter says supervising associate. Do you think i should get the ref letter re-done with the split?
Or is it fine, if i show that in the covering letter that i write?

 

[erikvirgo]

You need more than just the title in letter, Does it describe summary of responsibilities and duties?
About the difference on contract letter and reference letter before and after promotion title), you just need to write a covering letter to explain, and maybe get an affidafit signed by a manager in your company to support this.
but regardless on this covering letter, your experience letter must include responsibilities and duties so you can prove your job and noc as you listed in the schedule 3.
