Yes you can try if your bank allows online VISA debit card transactions, check with your bank. If you can't use your Visa Debit card, then pay someone and use their Credit card.

1) CIO Sydney – Completeness check -
Once your application arrives at CIO, Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada the first thing that happens is it will undergo a completeness check. This check will ensure:
- That you have included all required forms
- That any forms which have space for a signature have been signed and dated
- That you have not left any blank fields
- That you have included the correct payment fee
- That you have included all supporting documents required by both the main CIO checklist, and the VISA -office specific checklist

If unsuccessful your entire application will be returned to you by regular post with a covering letter. You will not get an email notification from CIO.

Above process takes 90-110 days!!

2) CIO Sydney – Payment charged
If your completeness check is successful your payment will be taken. This means CIO will attempt to charge your CREDIT CARD , or they will cash your banker's draft, depending on which method of payment you chose.

If your payment is unsuccessful your entire application will be returned to you by regular post with a covering letter. You will not get an email notification from CIO.

3) CIO Sydney – Eligibility review
CIO then perform a complete eligibility review on your application, based on the information you have provided on your forms and they will examine your supporting documents to ensure it backs up the claims you have made.

For FSW1, they will be looking that the descriptions of your duties match the description of the NOC/s under which you are applying and will want to be satisfied that you have at least 1 year's continuous employment in at least one of the 50 in demand occupations.

For FSW2, they will need to see an AOE (Arranged Employment Opinion) or positive LMO (Labour Market Opinion) with a TWP and this must be for a job in Skill Levels 0 (Managerial) or A or B on the NOC list.

For both categories they will also assess your application against the selection criteria – age, education, work experience, adaptability, job offer and language skills etc., to ensure you have 67 points. They will use your supporting documents to convince themselves that there is sufficient proof to BACK UP the claims you have made on your forms in these areas.

If your eligibility review is unsuccessful you will receive an email stating the reasons and your entire application will be returned to you. Since CIO has already taken payment by this point they will initiate a refund of your fees, which will likely take several months to get to you. Please note this is the last point at which you will receive a refund if your application is unsuccessful.

At this stage your ECAS status should now read “CIO eligibility review complete”.

UPDATE 18-Apr-2011: Please note that several people have been told that you do not get your application back AT ALL if your application is failed at the eligibility review stage, all you will receive is a refund for your processing fee.

4) CIO Sydney – PER issued and FILE TRANSFERRED
If your eligibility review is successful, CIO will send you a confirmation of positive final eligibility review. This will be by email if you specified an email on your application; otherwise they will send a letter by regular post. They will then transfer your file to the CHC/VO (Canadian High Commission/VISA Office) for further processing.

Once the file gets to the visa office (which usually takes 2 to 4 weeks) your ECAS status will read “Received by visa office”.

5) 2nd AOR from VISA office
Once your application arrives at the visa office, they will sit on it for a while. When they are in a position to process it most visa offices will send you a 2nd AOR. Also some offices send by email, and others send by snail mail. There is still no need to do anything at this stage. A few visa offices, most notably London, will not send a 2nd AOR at all but will skip this and go straight to medicals, or ask for further documentation.

6) Processing begins – document BACKGROUND CHECKS
Once the visa office begins processing your file they will commence with document BACKGROUND CHECKS .

At this stage your ECAS status should now read “In Process” with the extra line in the detail “Your application was reviewed and we started processing on <Date>”.

This document background check will include ascertaining the authenticity of your documents, and since they use some third party companies for this it could take a varying level of time depending on your visa office, the complexity of your case, and even the speed of the individual visa officer looking at your case. They may also perform employment verification checks which will involve telephoning both you (whilst at work) and your employer to ensure you give the same answers on their questions about your employment. Only a small percentage of applicants are likely to receive employment verification. Only if they are unconvinced by any of the work experience documents you sent, or if your application is one of the random spot-checks they do to prevent fraud, will they actually perform the verification.

Visa office may request further documentation from you during the processing phase, which can come by email or snail mail. They may also ask for a few things (PCCs or fresh forms) at the same time as medicals (see below)

7) Medical requests and RPRF fee request
Once the document BACKGROUND CHECKS are completed satisfactorily, the visa office will write to you (usually by snail mail) requesting you to complete medicals and also requests RPRF (Right of Permanent Residents Fee). They may also ask for updated documents such as PCCs and fresh forms at this stage. Please note that New Delhi visa office will also request passports at this stage. Most other visa offices will not request passports until they are about to finalise the application.

This will basically involve your booking medical appointments at one of the approved DMPs (Designated Medical Practitioner) throughout the country.

RPRF at this time (18-Apr-2011) is CAD $490 for the principal applicant and also for accompanying spouse. So PA + spouse in total is CAD $980.

8.) PPR - Passport Request. Once your ECAS changed to Medical results have been received, just wait for 1-2 weeks for your PPR and once you submitted your passport it will take 3 weeks for your returned passports with visa on it.

Thankew so much for helping us with process!!.

What about the file number? When it will be issued? And is it true that if we have one we will be treated as PR?

Hi October Applicants!!

My application was received by the CIC on 2nd October 2014. As per my estimation I feel that the credit card charge will be done anywhere between December 2014 and January 2015 (provided that my application and documents are in order and the NOC 1111 category and the overall limit are not capped).

Any views on my estimation?

Too optimistic to my taste.
There's always this holiday mood around the end of the year...people hardly work.
Late January is more likely

You'll get file number only when you get PER email/document. As i said... it takes 90-120 days to hear about application acceptance (in form of PER) or rejection for any reason. PER is not a guarantee to visa. It'll be assessed by your VO for eligibility etc. Read above as there is complete lengthy post describing the steps involved in whole process.

Now he is telling me to do IELTS with minimum 6.0 bands to score points and police certificate also, for submission he told me give him 200 CAD again, now I am very much confused what to do sometimes I feel he is a fake sometimes not that's why I am asking you guys please help me.

Again and again he is telling me that FWP and FSWP both are different programs is that true or not.

 

[zakir_ullah]

Hello All,

Is PCC is compulsory while sending application form?

Regards

No but 'you are strongly encouraged to submit your police certificate with your application to CIO'. For confirmation, please, see page number 6 of the following document:

I think you better be careful. No one from the CIC is gonna contact you or your agent at this early stage. Your IELTS should be submitted along with your application, which is mandatory. As per my knowledge a number will be provided to you only after reviewing the completeness of your application and after charging your credit card.
