i think i know why CIO has stopped sending PER's the past week.
I received a forwarded email from CIO today stating that i need to pass a General Training test report of my IELTS. Here's the content of the letter:
This refers to your application for permanent residence to Canada which was received at this office on AUG 18 2010. On DEC 08 2010, correspondence was sent to you via E-MAIL to inform you that your application had received a positive final determination of eligibility for processing, and was being forwarded to the visa office for further processing. This is to inform you that your application has not been forwarded to the visa office, and is being held at CIO Sydney, pending the receipt of additional required information as outlined below.
At the initial assessment of your application, we have determined that you have included an Academic IELTS test result with your application. However, only the General Training IELTS test results are acceptable for immigration to Canada. For additional information, please check our website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp
In order to continue the assessment of your applications, you must submit the following document:
IELTS test original results – GENERAL TRAINING option (not Academic option)
You have 120 days from the date of this letter to submit an original “General Training” IELTS test result. Your application will be assessed based on the information submitted.
Failure to submit the General Training IELTS test result within the next 120 days may result in your application being refused.
Please send a copy of this letter with the General language test result, to:
