application submitted mar 26Singalingali said:Sorry about your case. When did you submit your application? Did you apply under fswp or cec? Are you already in Canada? What country did you work in? Answers to these question might give further insight as to how to move forward.
I think you are right... I did use the organization address in Atlanta and not the one in Egypt but the reason I did that is because I wasn't an employee of Egypt office. My payroll was from USA directly to my bank account in Egypt. Maybe that's the mistake I made, I should have put a note that this was a home base position... but seriously with all the documents and information I have provided including a letter from this employer and letter says I was based in Cairo, Egypt. My 10 years travel history indicates how many times I was in and out the states for short visits!!!shakashaka said:You are still not answering the question. What address did you use for this Organization? I would assume that you put the local address in the country you were working in. i.e Mumbai, India and not Atlanta, USA. If you put that you worked/still working for this company but address shows USA, then I wont be surprised the system assuming you have been in the USA
So if I get you correct is - NGO is based in Egypt (Cairo I assume), then you worked in your home Country in Egypt. But for some reason you put a USA address really!!! You are suppose to put Egypt Address.. They must have Egypt office and address.AAlhadka said:application submitted mar 26
I applied under CEC
I'm already in Canada since 2013 with a closed work permit
I was working with a US NGO based in my home country in Egypt - home based position. So technically I had nothing to do with their office in Egypt. I was employed by the US organization.
I know this is an unusual situation, but here is the history. this organization is a US based Organization, I used to work in Egypt Office then moved to a position in the HQ (Atlanta, GA). My contract with Egypt office has been ended and I have the HR letter stated my employment term with Egypt during the period I worked there.shakashaka said:So if I get you correct is - NGO is based in Egypt (Cairo I assume), then you worked in your home Country in Egypt.

I will give you an example, Canada has international companies from all over the world i.e Shell is headquartered in The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands. But there is Shell Canada, Shell USA etc. If you are employed by Shell Canada and are living in Canada You put the address of Shell Canada where you are employed and not headquarters Holland!!!
I have checked my print out and I have included company name care USA and country Egypt not USA since I wasn't physically working in the USprofK said:If you work history is like this:
Work history
From To Job Title Four digit NOC code Employer/company name Country
xxx xxx xxxx NOC xxxx XXXX USA
Surely the systems will ask you for PCC for USA if the employment period is more than six months. Nowhere from above does it say you were based in Egypt
I think you put the address where you performed the Job.AAlhadka said:I know this is an unusual situation, but here is the history. this organization is a US based Organization, I used to work in Egypt Office then moved to a position in the HQ (Atlanta, GA).

I have been hired by the HQ in the US for a position that is not require the employee to relocate to the state because it was a global position to based "anywhere", but all my HR administration was with the US. I have put the US address while I guess I should have put either my home address or egypt address despite that fact that I wasn't employed by that office.
I would add to this make sure you provide explanation to any situation you feel it might be confusing to CIC. Just like in my case, I believe they were confused about my company base and my work base giving that I had a home base positionButterflyChemist said:Situations like this underscore the importance of taking your time. People are rushing to get into the pool and in their haste make mistakes in their profiles that sometimes lead to them having to decline their ITAs etc. You only have 60 days to submit a complete application. There's no sense joining the pool and getting an ITA if you cannot make the 60 day deadline. Take your time and get your things in order.
Police certificate is requested for six or more months in a row.... that's what my CIC letter says. I've never visited for 6 months, short visits never exceeded 2 weeks.shakashaka said:I think you put the address where you performed the Job.
Also am Curious about your short visits to the USA. Do this short visit add up to more than 6 months, i.e one time you come for a month, next maybe two or 3, then over 10 years period when you add it comes to more than 6 months?
For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country.
Its actually six monthsAnya654 said:Three months prior to the submission? Are you serious? I thought they changed the rules?
They did. It's good for six months in the country you live in, and indefinitely for any country where you obtained the PCC after you left.Anya654 said:Three months prior to the submission? Are you serious? I thought they changed the rules?
This says 3 monthsButterflyChemist said:Its actually six months
