It is good to provide AINP with any updates and it does not affect your assessment (as long as your H1-B is valid or your NOC code does not change). Even though AINP usually ask for documents like recent paystub, I-797, etc just before issuing nomination, you should give them updates by fax or...

The applications received on April 14 were special cases. AINP had issued file numbers to those whose application receipt date was April 14 before they issued file numbers to those who applied in March (no one knows why AINP did this). But obviously AINP is now issuing nomination certificates...

You don't need IMM 0008 Schedule 4A if you are applying under AINP SRS H1-B category. But just to be sure which forms you need to fill, it is best to follow this document checklist for Buffalo: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E37048.pdf Just follow column P (Provincial Nominee) in...

1. You have to update the information on the forms and sign the forms again. 2. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-application.asp 3. FBI: http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/fprequest.htm I don't have any information on Canada PCC, but state PCCs are optional and not necessary...

Thank you. I updated the spreadsheet. The update will be online in 24-48 hours.

Hi venks, I think my message was confusing at the time. I'm sorry. The fact is nomination certificate is valid for 6 months as you mentioned (I think I confused you with the validity of PCCs, which is 3 months). For example, the approval date of my nomination was Nov 23, 2009, so I must submit...

Hi venks, It's kind of hard to say whether we need to list deceased parents on IMM 5406. But when I was filling this form, my lawyer gave me some choices to fill "Marital status" boxes on this form. The choices were "Never married" "Married" "Widowed" "Legally separated" "Anulled marriage"...

Hi jovan, I don't know whether my information is useful this time because I'm working with my lawyer, but here's my nomination receipt timeline/info: My nomination was issued on Nov 23 (according to the date written on my nomination certificate). My lawyer (in Montreal, Canada) received the...

PN Acknowledgement Form should be faxed to (780)427-6560. You can find this fax number on your Acknowledgement Form.

1. You can pay your fees in CA$ or US$. The following website might be useful: Paying Fees in Buffalo http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/buffalo/imm/fees-frais_buffalo.aspx. It shows not only the instruction but also the amounts in CA$ and US$ (just click "Canadian dollars" or "USA dollars" in...

1. Birth certificate does not need to be notarized. 2. You must submit Canadian PCC (You must obtain a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18). If your nomination certificate expires before...

I agree and that's exactly what I was thinking. I'll also ask my lawyer for their professional opinion on this issue in a couple of weeks, and if I find anything useful, I'll post it here.

Thanks, feras80. desikiVAAT and I were discussing the process of obtaining California PCC a few days ago (We live in California, so we use Livescan), and he was about to go to Livescan office at the time. I received mine on Dec 4, and the whole process took only 4 days. It was so fast and easy...

The phone number of FBI CJIS Division is 304-625-2000. If you tell them that you want to check the status of your background check request, they'll transfer you to the right department.

Hi desikiVAAT, Sadly no news from FBI yet. And PCC expiration date is also a problem in my case. I'm going to submit my Japanese PCC to Buffalo but it can be issued only once per purpose, which means I can't request another PCC from Japan for Canadian Immigration purpose. Even though I stayed...

There was no photo process for California PCC. I took photos at the Livescan office because they had immigration photo service and I was lazy to go anywhere else to take photos for CIC application (so the photos were for CIC application, not for California PCC. Sorry for the confusion). What I...

You and everyone in your family who is 18 years of age or over need to obtain a police certificate. You must obtain a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18. And we definitely can start without...

Congratulations, albertatj! State PCCs are not required when you send your application to Buffalo (CIC may ask later in the process). But you can send them with your application if you want to. FBI clearance is one of the requirements. I heard we can send our application without FBI clearance...

I agree. I want the CIC process to be as short as possible, so I'll send my application with FBI clearance. Also, I found an interesting post in FSW category in this forum. The following post contains a timeline for FBI clearance:

No, we don't need to send our education/work documents or proof of funds to Buffalo. AINP has already checked our education/work background, so it's not necessary. And proof of funds will be required at the time of landing, not during CIC process.
