I have an imaginary question: I am currently working in Canada under a work permit and just filed my application under FSW2. My home country is governed by Beijing office, which is very far away from Canada. What if the local visa officer there require an interview with me sometime down the...

Hi Pippin, thank you for your kind remind. Yes I am coming only for myself and still single. So I think 550 is correct this time:) All the best! and thanks!

So right now I only need to fill $550 for myself to CIO, right?

Thank you. Another question regarding the fee payment. IMM5620 only calculate $550 for myself, but according to EG7 I also need to pay another $490, should I pay that altogether or should I pay $550 at this point and $490 later? To be honest I really am a little bit confused how much I should...

I am about to mail out my application package now. However, I've got a problem here. the CIO's checklist IMM5612 item 8 requires: "2 self-addressed mailing labels one in English or French and the second in the official language of your country". My home country is China and the official...

I am about to mail out my application package now. However, the CIO's checklist IMM5612 item 8 requires "2 self-addressed mailing labels one in English or French and the second in the official language of your country",

Oh really, it doesn't bring in any meaning, though ;) How about "TYPE OF BUSINESS" item? Should I also put "regular" there?

In Visa Office specific form "DETAILS OF EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT", there is a question asking my "TYPE OF COURSE" of post-secondary education. I don't quite understand what exactly they are asking. Should I put "full-time" here? Thanks.

Yeah this is exactly what I thought at first too. But, isn't it a literal violation of EG7's requirement? What if the VO viewing my case happen to be an unthinking machine who tries to make everything difficult to the applicant? :'( I've heard many stories in our forum saying that VOs...

EG7 requires that applicants should use IMM5612 (the CIO's checklist) as the cover page. I also drafted my own cover letter. My question is: which one should be the very first page? My own cover letter or IMM5612? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are there really many applicants who submit larger envelop than prescribed? I hope I don't sound too fussy but I really worry that if I used a larger than 23 cm x 30.5 cm envelop my application package will look so distinctive and may negatively affect the process?

But if I used a larger one, it may not be exactly "23 cm x 30.5 cm" as indicated in EG7. Is it ok to use a different size of the envelop?

I am applying FSW2 and want to include some supporting documents that are really big, such as a magazine that has my articles published on it. However, I cannot fit them into one 23 cm x 30.5 cm(9″x 12″) envelope, can I submit two envelope? Anyone has similar situation before? Thanks.

I am applying through the federal skilled worker class and the local visa office requires post-secondary transcripts as supporting documents. The problem is, can I just download my transcript from the university's website and print it off by myself? Or it must be directly ordered from the...

Hi there, I want to confirm if the "arranged employment offer" is category 1 or is category 2? Please provide the official source where it is defined. Thanks.

No, full time, absolutely. For example, if you are a lawyer and hired as in-house, it could be NOC 4112 and NOC 1122 at the same time. The job duties on my employment contract shows both, I really don't know which one suits better. I hope I can throw them all in and let the VO decide, can I?

Hi Dr.Hasib, what if my job duties fall into two different NOC categories at the same time, for the same period of employment and same employer? Should I choose one to put in? Or Can I put both in order of preference?

So even if I have two different NOC for my previous job, I have to choose only one? Doesn't it limit my chance?

Fabulous! Thank you Dr.Hasib, your analysis is right to the point! I know what I'm going to do now. By the way, also for SCHEDULE 3, for question 12 which asks you to put in "Order of preference", can I select 2 different job titles for one employment experience? Because I am not quite sure...

Does "yes" give me any bonus? Probably I should generously say "no" here without losing anything?
