    Century, Just to quickly correct the 8 month assertion for NOC 2132 IN 2013. My application was received in Oct 2013 (abt 5 months after the process kicked off) but was returned based on cap filled. WE may have other people who submitted before me and got theirs returned too. If the measure of...

    Royston, I highlighted the key/major fields on some docs too with fluorescent markers. I guess this should be fine.

    I should think that would work because it's some form of savings and it's even secured because u can't probably withdraw it till u're leaving work which you have to do once u're going to land. I did the same anyways! Other people's opinion awaited

    Nice one! Tried it! The step on selecting 1 for foreign affairs didn't apply anyway. Also, they gave a no to reach CIC directly +1 888 242 2100. That should make the steps shorter but the line appears very busy as expected. Will try more, though I'm a May 8th applicant.

    No. They won't refund. I read it categorically on their site. I may search for the doc and paste here later. Everyone should do personal eligibility checks b4 applying. I have friends who have refrained from applying because they can't get up to 67%. They are planning other methods of migrating...

    Folks, There are 2 stages of assessment. 1st stage is just to check for document completion or consistency with checklist. If returned at this stage, no CC or DD charged as there is no eligibility check. The second stage which is more detailed is to check eligibility. This is when they check if...

    Hey guys, Let's get something right, returned application due to filled cap isn't the same as visa denial to me. My belief is that the question about whether u hv been Canadian visa before is not referring to returned application due to filled cap. But if u get to the point of visa interview and...

    Century, Just a minor correction, FSW2014 ends April 30th 2015 and NOT December 2014. They wrote it on CIC website that there would be an overlap of 4 months between FSW2014 and 2015 Express Entry system. However, they would try to clear as much as possible to reduce the overlap. Bear in mind...

    Winty, By pension, did u mean gratuity? I guess u can use gratuity since that is a lump sum due to u wen u quit. Pension is paid monthly and may not suffice as support for POF. I believe that if u attach an official statement showing the gratuity due u upon separation from ur current job it shd...

    mpreet78, Century is very correct! U r free to choose any province. However, Ontario would enable u get adequate support from ur sister which is why you r getting 5 points for having her there in the first instance. My brother was in Ontario but currently in Winnipeg with the possibility of...

    I thought notarizing was mandatory for every document that is a photocopy. Essence should be for ascertaining that the notary public sighted the original. Better to read the instructions more anyway. I stand to be corrected. Naija PCC is valid for only 3 months. Either one includes original...

    Thanks Pipis Husband. A couple of clarifications from the experienced folks: 1. My office would not give detailed employment reference as was requested except usual ref letter with date employed, current position and salary. So I attached my CV to it and the employment letter to show no of...

    Hello My people, So nice to find this forum. So many other fora are filled with 2009 - 2013 applicants who have reached advanced stages of the process. I submitted in 2013 (NOC 2132) but was returned due to cap limitations like many others. My 2014 application was delivered on the 8th of May...
