So my friend got an ITA but she doesn't have her police certificate of character from the FBI yet and they take three months. She wasn't expecting the ITA so soon since her score was 481 and the previous lowest score was over 700. I'm guessing the CIC doesn't give extensions on the 60 day deadline so I'm guessing it would be best to decline the ITA until she can get the PCC from the FBI. Anyone have any suggestions or experience in this situation?

No please do not decline the ITA, tell her to attach documentation where she already applied for such PCC "Letter of Explanation" , where she tell CIC she applied already etc etc.. make sure she support all with evidence, it should be fine and CIC will understand.
All the Best

Hi everyone,

Can anyone tell me if once you get an ITA there is a processing fee to pay CIC? Not that we have an ITA as yet, but just good to know about any future costs we would need to find (fingers crossed!).

Also, the part of the ranking system where you score maximum for having worked 6 out of the last 10 years in your profession, does anyone know if you are required to then provide CIC with letters going back the last 6 years or all 10 once you have an ITA?

Thanks! ;D

I have been in Canada since May'2013. For the police clearance, do I need the one which includes fingerprint scans ( issued by the RCMP) or a PCC issued by the local police good enough?


I have another PCC from India, that would be submitted separately. Just unclear about what PCC is required from Canadian authorities.

 

[pgupta8]

no they don't require your 10th and 12th. Please check the FAQ list for India, on the Wes website. It explains which documents you would need for your university.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it

ITA is the Invitation to Apply.
You will need the following documents:
1. Travel Documents and Passports
2. Work Experience
--> Work Reference Letter from your employer/employers
3. ECA Report
--> education assessment from authorized institution - like WES or University of Toronto (i forgot the other one)
--> include your spouse/common-law
4. IELTS English Proficiency
--> include your spouse/common-law
5. Proof of Identities
Birth Certificate
6. Proof of Common-Law/Marital Status
--> Marriage Certificate if married
--> for Common Law
IMM 5409 Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union
Copies of Joint Bank Account Statements
Copies of Leases

7. Proof of Funds

Hope this helps.

You may refer to this link for detailed instructions from CIC website

Can some seniors from India in this forum guide on how to get work reference in the format from major IT companies like Infosys, etc. The experience certificate that they have provided do not mention the roles and responsibilities but just the designation and time period. Do they easily provide this customized work experience letters, or can affidavits work (like in Australia)??

I looked at the Express Entry FSW route about two months ago but thought there was no way I’d ever get one because the points would always be above 600 with employers sponsoring staff to stay on after their Working holiday visa expired. Shocked only 3,247 appear to have been sponsored initially in the first 4 rounds.

I wonder is it a case of
a) employers don’t want the hassle/expense of sponsoring and then having to inevitably pay higher wages to a now permanent visa holder, when they have cheaper labour coming through on WH visas, or
b) it’s still early doors for the new system and the majority haven’t got their Express Entry applications finalised yet, meaning points could go back up (especially when word gets around that scores are below 600 now), or
c) a lot of people have simply had enough after say the 2-year WH visa and want to return home

I suspect it’s a combination of the above. I’ve now applied to WES for my qualifications to be assessed and IELTS to do the English test. Work references being sorted too.

My score worked out at 463, depending on how my qualifications are scored and how well the IELTS goes. So hopefully I’d get an offer later this year. Not planning to go til next year so in no panic.

Please can you let us know how possible it was for you to determined your score of 463 without doing the English test?

Assumptions A & B definitely seem to be true, not sure about C as most of the information on net has put a rosy picture of living in Canada
I too have applied for WES and taking the IELTS on 31st May. Scoring between 475-481 depending on IELTS. My only concern area is work references. Don't know how easy will it be to get the detailed work details from Indian companies like Infosys. Any pointers anyone?

That's easy, you can take a reference of how well your English is as compared to people around you who have given IELTS. Or a sample test can also give a decent idea.
