Date on the reference letter does not matter. All that you should be concerned is that it evidences minimum 24 months of Canadian work experience in the last 03 years and conforms to the below. (1) On company letterhead (2) Signed by responsible officer / supervisor (3) Have the name printed...

Definitely NOT. Indian Driving License / Voter ID Card / PAN Card / Ration Card > None of these qualify as a National Identity Document. You have no choice but to tick 'NO' in the appropriate section in the application.

Just to add.. the ambitious UIDAI project of the Government of India will provide UID Card which is a basically a National Identity Document but is not yet recognized by the International community. Sooner or later, once the loopholes are addressed... this is going to be the NID for the ones...

I fully agree. Sending the IELTS results along with application form is MANDATORY. It is one of the basic criteria on which, the application is evaluated. Out of the check list, the only optional item is the Police Clearance Certificate which can either be submitted along with the application...

But the whole idea is to help transition the work permit holders to PRs in a faster and efficient manner. Changes to the current processes or conditions are not expected but in turn, equipping CIC to handle more volumes (applications) in the days to come is something to be worked on.

No update. Not really sure if the reduction from 24 months to 12 months will be announced on 01 July 2012. The circular only read that the details on the change will be announced later in the year. Again not sure if 'later in the year' is Q3 or Q4 of 2012 and even if announced if the effective...

As I understand, the documents are required to be notarized only in case they are in any language other than English or French. Not sure if you are submitting any translated document which is originally not in English or French.

Oh yes. Even I have been waiting to hear on this.

As I understand from the posts on this blog. Just getting DOB Certificate from CGI and our Educational Certificates evidencing our DOB will not suffice to convince the Officer for PR under CEC. It is very advisable to affix a notarized Affidavit. But I am not sure if I can use the same old one...

Not sure on that. I got Open Work Permit for my wife recently and her WP reads her name as 'NOT APPLICABLE, XXXXX XXXXXX' (Surname, Given Name). Not sure on how different is it on a PR Card.

If you or your family members were under 18 years of age (16 years of age in certain jurisdictions) for the entire time you lived in a particular country, you do not need to provide a police certificate for that country. PCC to be provided for each country other than Canada, in which you have...

No doubt. Go for FAMILY CLASS.

Can anyone please let me know what is the validity of a Notarized Affidavit for Date of Birth. In my case, I do not have a Date of Birth Certificate. I have applied for the same with CGI. But from what I see on the posts, Education Certificates with DOB and DOB from CGI might not suffice. I...

CONGRATS TO ALL YOU FOLKS!!!

Thanks for the reply :-)

Thanks for your inputs. But the problem is that the form throws up an error if I choose to leave the space in SURNAME blank. Therefore, I cannot leave the space blank. :-(

Wage and Duties is something that again has to be evidenced by your employer. You drafting it on a paper will not help the cause for sure.

Not sure if we have to submit a letter from employer if not employed in Canada. To put it in other words, in the last 36 months you need to provide a letter only from your Canadian Employer evidencing 24 months work. In case the remaining 12 months is outside Canada, letter from such employer...

Hi, I have a problem to share and seek inputs. My Indian passport only has my full name against GIVEN NAME and does not have anything against the SURNAME field. Not sure what do I write in my CEC application against the SURNAME field considering that one of the form also generates Bar Code...
