    FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    Hey guys, I've just received the request for the medical exam today! After rejecting my initial letters of reference, the VO accepted the new ones that I submitted about two weeks ago, which gives me enough points now. The initial letters of reference were not sufficiently detailed about my...

    Hello all, I'm a NOC 2147 applicant from May 13, and am waiting for the immigration officer in Ottawa to either accept or refuse my letters of reference covering my work experience (knock on wood). The letters that I submitted back in May were rejected, but I was given 60 days to come up with...

    liuzhiyong_1982 -- yes, I received an email from CIC in early August stating that my application was being to the VO after obtaining PER. My status since then has been awaiting AOR, and then this email came in today. I've been a network engineer since 1998 (NOC 2147). It's what I do for a...

    Terki -- Excellent points, many thanks. I hadn't thought of the business card. It sounds like I should get a letter from my team lead and supervisor, and not just from the staffing company. I should be able to. Thanks everyone. I'm not giving up at all. I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to...

    Thanks for your support, everyone. I've almost completed the new write-up of my job duties, and was careful to match the bullet points as described in NOC 2147, in the same order. My staffing company will put it all on company letterhead and sign. I've got a good rapport with my supervisor and...

    Honestly, I was very surprised to receive this communication from the VO office, as I put considerable effort into obtaining letters of reference and submitted a pretty good letter detailing everything that I do in my daily job. Two HR departments from previous jobs (within the past 10 years)...

    Hello all, I had a few questions about the notification that one of the early bird candidates has just received today (congrats, by the way!): Medical and RPRF requests received today... Has this person been granted PR to Canada? What does RPRF signify? Does this notification essentially...

    Well, to give everyone an idea, CIC received my application on May 13 (for NOC 2147). Today, September 26, I'm still waiting for AOR from the Visa Office. This immigration process is about as exciting as watching paint dry! And the Canada CIC site says nothing, except that my application was...

    Received my PER on August 9th (NOC 2147). :D CIC received my application on May 13. Have any of you early birds in FSWP 2013 heard anything from the Visa Office, or received an acknowledgment of receipt from the VO? If so, how long did it take?

    I'm listed in the spreadsheet now. :) Something strange that I've noticed is that other applicants are receiving their PER (Positive Eligibility Review) in 60 days or less. I haven't heard anything (no PER or NER)after almost three and half months, so I have no idea whether I've got a chance or...

    Hi all, ece24544 applied under the same NOC as I did (2147), and CIC received his application on Friday, 10 May. Mine arrived in Sydney on Monday, 13 May. What is the significance of this email? I see that it provides a UCI number, which you probably didn't know until the email. I expect...

    Hi Amit, I applied through Campbell Cohen, the law firm in Montreal, and charged the application fee to my credit card. Campbell Cohen would have made the $550 payment to CIC.

    Hi all, I applied for Canadian PR under the Federal Skilled Worker Program back in May. Assuming that I am successful and am admitted into Canada, my plan is to relocate to Calgary asap and start the clock ticking on the 3 year requirement before applying for citizenship. Since I will be...
