Not to doubt you. But I wonder why the local CHC is the appropriate contact point? I mean..I never contacted them, and when I sent my app, it wasn't to them either. Did anyone go through this process before care to comment?

My understanding is that they forfeit your fee if u don't respond within 120 days.

My FSW app was approved for 2nd round review but I heard it's tricky to get the app fee back during the 2nd round review. Since my interest in immigrating to canada has died down in recent months, I wonder how I could get my money back the easiest way possible. Is there a form I should complete...

At what point in the process will I NOT be eligible for refund?

My FSW app was reviewed and recommended for further assessment. So I've passed the initial review but I've been reconsidering my commitment to move to Canada. I want to know if I am still eligible for a refund at this point? And assume that I go through the process, I heard that every docs sent...

This is an HR issue I believe.

Well, my past company's HR dept has been a pain to deal with. Very unorganized and basically just a one-woman operation. I asked her for experience letter a few months ago and she send me a copy (on company letterhead) by email attachment. It states my name, position held, start/termination...

Looks like they are only looking for notarized photocopies and not the original forms. I think the original forms are needed at the last step of the process. I would love to submit the original forms now and avoid another step but it doesn't look like this is what they are asking at this stage.

Good news people. I received a letter from Sydney, NS a few days ago. Now as I prepare for the next stage, (supporting docs for my visa office, Buffalo, USA) I am wondering do I pay the right of permanent residence fee ($490) now or at later stage? From what I understand, I don't think I need to...

And if nothing is wrong, how long does it take to receive an initial response?

Well, I understand there are people who waited 5, 6 years for their stuff. I am under the impression that my FSW app should be processed and done in 12 months if everything is lined up correctly. The first time I sent in my app, it was rejected within a month (due to incorrect fund currency) so...

So I was told to wait a couple more weeks for a response from the Sydney, NS office. Now is the time. My bank shows that the draft was cashed on Feb 26 and I still have not received anything as of today 3/17. Is there a way I can check the status of my app by phone or online?

Applied in the US, sent app early Feb 09, still have not gotten any notice from the Sydney, NS office. I am getting a bit nervous now, not so much that they reject my app but the possibility that my app is lost. Is there any number I can call to verify the receive of my app? Thanks in advance.

What is this fast track program you are talking about? Is it just the new Skilled Worker policy?

Here is the situation. I finished the first 2 years of high school in belgium then I moved to the US and enrolled in the 12th grade. But the school said I was too old for the 12th grade. So while we were looking for other options, friends suggested to go straight to community college and...

In the returned app, it states the reason for return: "Check is in U.S. Fund". The check was written for $465 US dollar which is exactly what the office of baffalo says, but I guess we are dealing with Sydney NS rather than Baffalo office...so forget about the office of baffalo.

Sorry, I didn't pay particular attention to your posts but I did asked before sending my app. I got answers from people that it's ok to send a US dollar certified check. I am not going back to my thread and hold those people accountable...I just want my app to be processed. I am going to try...

So I did my homework on this forum and been told that it's ok to submit a certified check in US dollar. Well, guess what? They don't take it. So now I would like to ask those who apply within the US, which place, bank, financial institute, please be specific, that you went to to have a certified...

Name 3 banks that will do. I know for sure WAMU doesn't. Turns out this site has the info on payment in US dollar: http://geo.international.gc.ca/can-am/main/visas/fee_schedule_us_dollars-en.asp That answers my own question.

Ok, I just asked my bank to issue a check for 550 canadian dollar. Their response was "we only do US dollar". So I do a bit of research and it looks like canadian immigration office has set fees paid in US dollar, which is $465 US dollars for skilled worker app. So I assume I just ask my bank to...
