I am an FSW2 applicant as well and surprised to see your timeline .. your application seems to be moving really really quick.

I recently received my medical forms and the request to pay the RPRF in October. They did not ask me to fill out any additional documents and I believe it is not uncommon and should not be of concern.

As someone rightly pointed out, since you have an offer of arranged employment, you do not need to show any proof of funds. And owning a house here will definitely stand you in good stead.

I don't believe you have any cause for concern. Looks like you would be getting your PR pretty soon !

Still can't believe the timeline of your application .. was it under any special category or something ? usually the CIC takes around 15 months on an average to process an application under the FSW2, hence wondering :)
Maybe because he's already in Canada

The timelines caught my attention too...but I said to myself that in every act of randomness there is always room for the grace of God, or luck as some will prefer to say.

Hello Guys,
Can I get a working number to call Ottawa from USA? I stated on this platform that I had submitted a cancellation of rep request to Ottawa back in September 2013 and they did not effect the changes. They then communicated to my rep in October about medicals and RPRF. I resent a request to Ottawa on 10/25/2013 and a second reminder on 10/29/2013 with their aut0mated response as evidence. Still no one has responded to me and they have not changed the address on ecas either. I am afraid they will send further communication to the rep and they will sit on it. Since I told my rep that I am cancelling them, they have not sent the complete communication from CIC to me. So I have not seen my medicals request and waiver notice yet. But I will go ahead and make use of e-medicals since I was told the doctor could locate me and my family on e-medicals. I have my UCI number and application number as well.
Any help on how to get in touch with Ottawa since I can't afford to risk further communication going to the rep
Thanks
Lawis

I don't think one can contact CIC by phone. There is a call centre number but it is automated and you must 'choose one of the first five recorded options' before you can speak with an agent.

Today I received a mail from CPP-Ottawa saying that they are refusing my application as I did not meet requirements, specifically mentioned that I didnot provide substantial proof for duties mentioed in NOC.

I sent all these proof of experience 2 years back, I am actually working in managerial role and similar to duties mentioned in NOC.

so now my question is, Can I sent a request for consideration providing more accurate proof of experience showing my job job duties etc. OR is decision is already made and I cannot send request for reconsideration.

They didnot mention anything like that I have to provide more proofs for my experience or even didnot mention that they are going to refund my fee.

This is so disappointing after 2 years, what should I do now? can any one give me CPP contact number / call-center number as well?

Two questions

Hello all,

I have two questions:

1) After receiving the passport with a visa stamp on it, how much time do we have to land?
2) After landing, and before receiving the PR card, would it be possible to leave Canada?

I would deeply appreciate your comments on my questions.

Best
A.

P.S.
Just to contribute to the list of the group, I would like to add that my time line:

In your case I would run to an experienced immigration lawyer, pay him/her lots of money, but make her/him fight for my case.

1. Usually 1 year after medical exam, but varied case to case.
2. Yes, if you have a visa to enter the country again, it takes 50 days now to get the card.

this is exact mail I received..

DEAR xxxxxxx

I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the federal skilled worker class. I have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

Subsection 12(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of the economic class on the basis of their ability to become economically established in Canada. Subsection 75(1) of the regulations prescribes the federal skilled worker class as a class of persons who are skilled workers and who may become permanent residents on the basis of their ability to become economically established in Canada. Pursuant to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, 2002, skilled worker applicants are assessed on the basis of the criteria set out in subsection 76(1). The assessment of these criteria determines whether a skilled worker will be able to become economically established in Canada. The criteria are age, education, knowledge of Canada’s official languages, experience, arranged employment and adaptability.


Your application was assessed based on the occupation(s) in which you requested assessment: PROFESSIONAL OCCUPATIONS IN BUSINESS SERVICES TO MANAGEMENT (NOC 1122). The table below sets out the points assessed:


You have not obtained the minimum number of points, currently 67, required for a permanent resident visa. You received 0 points for experience. The work reference letters you provided did not do not allow me to determine whether or not you performed the lead statement or a substantial number of the duties described under this NOC. You did not provide substantial proof that you provide services such as analysing the operations, managerial methods or functions of xxxxxxxx in order to propose, plan and implement improvements.

Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or for any other document required by the regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act. Subsection 2(2) specifies that unless otherwise indicated, references in the Act to “this Act” include regulations made under it.

Following an examination of your application, I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Act and the regulations for the reasons explained above. I am therefore refusing your application.

Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.


Sincerely,

Case officer XXXXXX (number)
