I don't think you need to be afraid of leaving a question blank if it is not relevant to your case. Remember, the immigration officers are not like examiners. They don't penalize you for all your mistakes. Only certain things can cause your application harm. Penalizing an applicant for...

As people have been mentioning on several threads, agencies have sent hundreds of applications since July 1st. There are people basically collecting immigration files by the bucket load and shipping them off to CIO. I doubt very much that the applicants who used agencies are logging on to forums...

Hi walidcanada! Thanks for your good wishes! I really dont have any specific answer for you with regards to contents of my application. I basically tried to include everything the CIO requested + everything required by the London Office (as was mentioned in the instructions). Please clarify...

Thanks! Here's hoping that many more people here some good news in the coming week(s)!

priyavig, I applied last year but my package was received by CIO after the cap had been filled. They had not updated the total application count when I mailed my materials. In any case, because I had prepared everything last time, I found it much easier to mail my materials on time when the...

If possible, I think its much better to provide University Transcripts in sealed envelopes. They add real weight to your academic claims. Furthermore, university transcripts enable immigration officers to assess the type of courses you have studied and what skills and knowledge you will be...

Thanks sango! I encourage everyone to remain positive. I am sure we will hear of a lot more NOC 1122 payments being encashed in the coming weeks. Remember that payment is only the first step. The real waiting and anxiety starts once they begin reviewing your package. Good luck!

Hello 1122khan11 a) I work as an adviser to a private company in the following areas: Supply Chain management, Operations optimization and Human Resources Management b) Many of my fields were blank but none by mistake. For example, in the old forms (pre July 18th) there was a section on...

Hello Aayan, So long as you meet the 68 pass mark, I think you can submit your application - I have not noticed a minimum IELTS test mark on the instruction guide (senior forum members please verify). However, it is important to note that while assessing your case against other applicants, Visa...

With reference to the above discussion I would just like to share that I did not notarize all my documents. In fact, several documents of mine were just originals. I think westpoint is right about playing a safe game and sending all documents as notarized copies. However, many people do not have...

Hello walidcanada I believe that "the person" is me. Although there is one other applicant who had their credit card charged. I'm new to the process of immigration so I'm not sure how much I can help, but I would be glad to read your question. Let me know.

Dear forum members, I am sure most of you are anxious about your applications and how long the process will take. I personally am also daunted by future hurdles that may come our way as we attempt to immigrate to Canada (eapecially in the competitive FSW-1 NOC 1122 category). I believe the...

Thanks RKC! unfortunately it is a very long wait from now. (can take upto 3 months for CIO to respond after encashing the payment) Moreover, as with many other people who have applied, I am getting anxious about my package and whether it holds as much merit as others. In any case, now we all...

Thanks Viz! From what I have heard it does not strictly work in chronological order. Ofcourse the CIO operates on a first come first serve basis. But if, for example, the agent responsible for your file received a complex case with many documents just before your file, your check might take a...

Thanks westpoint! I may be one of the few who got their payment encashed but this is just a preliminary stage. From what I have researched I may have to wait upto 3 months before I hear fro CIO again. Will keep posting updates as and when available.

Thanks jeca! Goodluck!

Thanks echoes1978! I think CIO work on a first come first serve basis. However some packages can take longer or shorter times to move forward depending upon the person reading through your file as well as the nature of your case and the qunatity / type of documents you submit. I am sure we...

Thanks Mycoweatsgrass! I have my fingers crossed. I am only 25, and not married. I.e. not much in the way of work experience or adaptability points for spouse! Good luck to everyone! Thanks! Good luck!

Hello everyone! I have been reading posts on this forum for quite a while so I thought I would join in and share my details as well: NOC: 1122 VO: London Date Application was sent: July 1st, 2011 (by Fedex) Date application was received by CIO: July 5th, 2011 (received by D. Stapleton) Mode...
