Hi all,
I sent my CEC application in September 2013 and recently it was returned back to me. CIC highlighted some fields in my application but I don't get what were the problems. I hope you can give me some hints.
At the time I submitted the application, I was in Canada 1.5 years as a postdoctoral fellow with a work permit. I'm filing the application for me and my wife who came with me from the beginning and also working as a postdoc.
CIC highlighted these places in my application
1. Cheque --> CIC can not accept personal cheque unless it is certified by a bank (I didn't know this, I included a cheque like I usually pay my rent)
2. In my generic application form, CIC highlighted the section for my wife and the answer "Yes" for question 11 "Will accompany principal applicant to Canada?" --> I don't get this. My wife is with me know. Should I answer "No" and say the reason is that she's already been here?
3. In my schedule 8 form, I checked the option that I has worked in Canada for 1 year or more. CIC highlighted these pointed. I believe this is a mistake, because postdoc fellow is considered as worker.
4. Also in schedule 8 form, the Language section, I chose English and provided the envelope containing my CELPIP test result. CIC highlighted these points too (?). Again, I believe there must be a mistake here. In the section "Your Work Experience in Canada", I checked the answer "No" for the question "Were you a full-time student during any of above listed periods?", CIC highlighted this too. I thought they consider postdoc as student (!?)
5. The translations of the birth certificate of my wife and me, and our marriage certificate are highlighted. They were translated by certified offices in our country. I don't know if CIC accept them or I have to have them translated here?
6. My CELPIP test result was opened, should I ask for a new envelope or just resubmit it?
I called to CIC call center and got no answer. The lady said they are not trained to answer to questions related to CEC program (?), what I should do is to follow the checklist and guide.
I would like to resubmit my application asap form but these problems are not clear to me. Hope you can help. Thanks a lot.
