Hi! All, I landed in Canada on 18th Aug,2012 which was a sat day. Started work from 20th Aug,2012. It is a 40 hour working week. So I am assuming I can apply for PR on 20th Aug,2013. Is my understanding correct or does CIC have a different way of calculating one year experience in Canada? Thanks

I gave my test 2 weeks ago and scored high in all categories. Go to CELPIP website where they have few sample questions to give you an idea about the test. It is a simple test. General English.

Ok. Thanks. I will open it then :)

Thanks for the reply. My concern is that my last name is not mentioned completely in the SSC certificate. It is only mentioned as an initial. Some one advised me that I should get an affidavit in the below format and get it notarized by a lawyer in Toronto. Any advice on this from this forum...

Ok. Could you pls let me know how do I obtain a valid birth certificate? Can I apply online? It is difficult for my folks back home to run around for this as they are old now.

Thanks. Also I realized my last name is mentioned as initial instead of full name. Same with my father's last name (initials). Will it cause problems? However my passport has both mine and my father's full name. Can I use my passport instead?

Hi! Is there any specific document towards birth certificate? I am from India and always used SSC(10th Std) marksheet as proof of date of birth. Will it suffice?

Thanks for letting me know. Fortunately I haven't opened the envelope yet!

Ok. Thanks

An update - I just received my results. So my time line was- test date 14th July, physical copy of results received-1st Aug. I understand that we are not supposed to open the envelope and send this as is along with the application. Is that correct? Thanks

I took CELPIP on 14th Jul and got online results in 8 days . I am still awaiting the results to reach me by post though! I live in Toronto. Does that location make a difference for the timelines for physical copy?

CELPIP - you can view your results online in 8 business days. Though physical copies of the results will take time to reach you. I am not aware of IELTS.

Hi! All, would appreciate a response to my queries. Thanks

Also when I enquired about lawyers, the fee range was from 2500 to 3500 and I am wondering whether it is worth it I am doing all the work :) I will take a call after I collect all the documents. Thanks

Thank you all for the replies. For some reason I didn't get any alerts on replies to this thread so I didn't realize that I received replies to my query. Mine is a straight forward case. One year exp in Canada and applying under CEC. However my NOC query on this forum is still not answered and...

Regarding point2: I did write to HSRDC but did not get a clear reply. Below is my query and their response. What should I do now? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My query to HRSDC: I have searched HRSDC website for the NOC codes based on...

Thanks for the reply. Regarding point 3, I have been working with my current company for 2 years and 3 months so I will have to go back to my past employer for a reference letter. Does the past employer's reference letter also need to mention the main duties according to the NOC? How important...

Hi! I was going through the form imm0008_8e. 1. Point no 5 is Your work experience in Canada. But it also asks one to write about past 3 years experience and mention NOC codes for that. I have only one year experience in Canada. Past two years were in India but similar job profile. Do I need...

Hi! Request advice on whether to engage a consultant to apply on my behalf or should I do it myself? I would be gathering all my documents myself anyway so what role would the consultant/lawyer play? Thanks

Well..my experience is different. I went to BLS center in Toronto and applied last week. I received the PCC in a week. They couriered my passport and the PCC today.
