Hi Vasyok,

Unfortunately, I don't have any news to share, I hope the other guys have something to share.

I've ordered GCMS notes, I'll share any useful data on it. Finger crossed that I provide updates about the passport request prior receiving the notes ..

Best Regards,

Hi Guys,

I need your help.

Number 8 in checklist is "proof of Admission".
1. Which types of documents should I put in my application for this section ( I am living in Canada)? Just certified copies of passport from ID pages, Canadian visa, and study permit?
2. what about the stamps? should I put the copy of entry stamps to Canada? What about other countries including home country's entry/exit stamps?
3. Should I get certified copies for stamps too or only copies would be enough?

Thank you.

Thanks but in the document checklist it does not mention that for example the passpot copy needs to be certified!! its the first time I am hearing this. And in case this is right, does this mean that alll copies like ECA (education creditials) + proof of relationship in Canada+proof of residency etc ect all should be notarized??

I have seen many students submitted application without a single copy notarized or certified.
As the cost is higher, people avoid it.

But the right procedure (according to CIC) that you submit notarized/certified copy of each and every document that is a photocopy of the original.

In the checklist they asked for "copies" for everything and "copies" means they have to be notarized or certified.
How you will submit, its totally up to you.

Hi, everyone
I mailed my application documents to Sydney on July 1st, but I have not received my file number yet. Is that normal?
I think normally people get application number around 1 month. Any suggestions?

You will need to wait at least 2 months. Check the FSW 2014 thread on this forum (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/fsw-2014-applicants-timeline-lets-network-here-t199004.0.html) - CIO is now working on mid-May applicants.

After 8-10 weeks you can ping CIO via email and ask about your application.

I mailed in September, received the first email in December. That's normal. Same thing happened to many other September, October applicants. I wouldn't worry about it. I also suggest you share your timeline and ask to be added to the tracker. So you can compare your timeline to others applied around the same time you did. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag-ASbHOIF93dDlLNjAtR1k4eGNtZ0xhSzkzYnBrVmc#gid=0

I have Q from those who applied for the 2nd or 3rd time.

For documents that we already submitted once in the first applcation, such as birth certificate, marriage certificate, transcripts, etc., should we submit documents again, or we can refer to the previous application where they presumably already have them?

Is there any expiry date for official translations? For example, is it OK to submit a birth certificate that was translated 4 years ago?
