    CEC REFUSED - help plzzzzzz

    Sorry to hear about that, but it is always risky if you do not give the required documents. The VO states that Your application was rejected because you did not include a Letter of Employment from your employer. Additionally, according to the VO, you submitted a contract instead of a Letter of...

    Supplementary information-Your travel Help! jes_ON

    nico - I would guess that you could exclude the trips to Taiwan, but I suggest you call the CIC Information on this and post their response. This form is new to us and we don't have much experience to share ...

    Outland applications processed by Buffalo VO?

    The date on the OP 25 is 2011-06-22, which means it has not yet been updated with the changes that have been implemented since January 1, including the fact that all CEC applications now get submitted to CIO-Sydney. You should read the new Instruction Guide - it explains how to select the visa...

    CEC work experience for graduates

    OK, then, your only benefit is a lousy 5 days paid vacation - feel free to publicly embarrass the university for such a lousy deal, I don't ever want to work for them :) Yes, you are "employed" and not "self-employed," so at least on that point, you are eligible for CEC. Make sure you will...

    CEC work experience for graduates

    Of COURSE they look at the duties - that's key! But duties are irrelevant if you're self-employed - it's the "self-employed" that are not eligible. (Self-employed will usually get a T4A instead of a T4). I am a "contract employee." I am not self-employed, there is a difference. It sounds...

    T4 and T4A for postdocs

    Weird that they should give you a T4A. It should be OK in your case, I'm sure you'll be able to get a letter from your employer with all the required information.

    CEC work experience for graduates

    Hi - you can be a "contract employee" - your relationship with the university is pretty much the same as an employee (they take your taxes and EI contributions out of your paycheck, you receive other benefits) - the "contract" part just means that there's and end-date to the job (as opposed to...

    Hey Jess THANK YOU - But one question

    I'm sorry, I know nothing about how New Delhi will handle this... there's nothing you can do but wait and make sure that your contact information (including email address) is up-to-date. If they ask for something, give it to them as soon as possible. The fact that your husband got married and...

    Different classification experience?

    You can have 2 different jobs with different NOC codes, that is not a problem. But "6221 Technical Sales Specialists - Wholesale" is WHOLESALE, which is NOT RETAIL. If you do retail sales, then your NOC would be 6421, which is not classified as skilled and would not be considered under CEC...

    CEC: paystubs

    Paystubs are not required - the document check list says "Additional supporting documents may include...", they are allowed but optional - additional supporting documents if for some reason your other documents are not sufficient. I can think of only 3 reasons to submit paystubs - 1) you do...

    CAIPS/GCMS notes take about 1 month to receive. No way to know why your case is taking so long - there are so many individual differences, times will vary.

    Applying for CEC while on Restoration of Status

    Ok - so let's get this straight - you were on an open work permit on the basis of your husband's closed work permit. Your husband resigned in October. But you still haven't told us the expiration date on either work permit. I honestly do not know what happens to a spouse's work permit - PMM?

    Applying for CEC as well as PNP

    Agreed, haven't heard of them doing that yet, but the grounds would be misrepresentation, since they do have to sign a statement of intent. The OP clearly does not have that intent; CIC is supposed to reaffirm the intent before issuing the visa, at which point the OP would either have to lie or...
