I had a similar situation during the Second draw, I raised a CSE in Feb asking why received in FSW. Then I received the response from CIC in 4 days which states that "The order of precedence will be followed like FSW, CEC, PNP, FSTP if you qualify for more than one in the sequence, However, you are under no obligation to accept this invitation and you may be invited for the next one in the order".

So after few days they reviewed my invitation and found that I am ineligible for FSW coz of the fact that I do not have the ECA done but due to the system error, I received the invitation. So, I received an email from CIC asking your invitation is sent out of system error however, we do see that you qualify under CEC and you may receive the Invitation shortly. After 10 mins I got the new invitation under CEC, thru which I am a PR now.

As our friends said you may decline this and may receive under CEC. But I would suggest you to send a case specific enquiry and ask them will you get an invitation under CEC if you decline the FSW one or do you have to wait until next draw and should cross the threshold to receive the new ITA under CEC? This is a big decision if you decline now and if you are not able to make over the threshold in the next draws, then you will regret for the decision. So, send a CSE and check with them.

Thanks for the info; that does make a lot of sense. I did send a CSE and now I am waiting for a response.

If your degree from back home was assessed as equivalent to Canadian Bachelors then yes it is the right way.

Yes I do have an assessment from WES stating that I have a Canadian equivalent bachelor's of 3 years.

Hi everyone... congrats DoubleS

I'm an outlander FSW and got ppr on 19th August. I sent them and email to tell me which Visa Office I should take my passport but still there's no answer. Also there is a 4th line added to my ecas with this message,

We sent you a letter on August19, 2015 . Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

So does anybody know what this mail is about? is it same as the ppr letter or it's an instruction... As I think the mail will take more than 1 months to be delivered should I give cic a call?

Pls note ** I have also created a separate thread for this information. But just wanted to share on this thread as i have shared all my progress updates here before: PR landing completed last week.
----------------------

we (me and my wife) went for my PR landing at Carway Border, alberta last week and officer put us in waiting room after being aggressive enough and stating that " this is NOT my job to immigrate you guys! Why didnt you take appointment from CIC why are you coming to border like this using a loophole in the system" take a seat and i will see what i can do whether today or tomorrow, I dont know. how much I will need. My job is to protect border, NOT to immigrate people like you who are not Legit travelers."
( What he meant was, we just hit U.S border and comeback and we are not an actual travel who is truly coming from U.S to canada to immigrate.

either ways, he warned us to tell all our friends AND anyone we know " DOnt come to carway border for you PR landing unless you are legal traveler crossing border. Ask people to go to coutts (24hrs) or cic offices for immigration"

So i just wanted to let you know. pls make a note of this.

We finally got the PR formalities done after 1 hour of questioning by the officer on duty.

Please let me know, if anyone of you need any info on this.

Thanks

If it wasnt his job, he wouldnt have done it. He was having a bad day and just spoke to you like that. Unfortunately, once people have a certain amount of power in any situation, you are subject to how bad or good their day is. Thanks for sharing your experience.

It's Monday morning in India right now, was driving to office, checked my mail at a traffic signal and what do I see? A PPR!
What a blockbuster Monday, how on earth did CIC send this on Sunday evening is beyond me, but a PPR it is nevertheless!

yes, hopefully ..it was a case of a bad day! but i just wanted to share my experience.
But the officer also took our mobile phones and took them away for 30 mins and we could figure out the our mails and messages have been checked.
So I am not sure, if he had a doubt about something but I am a normal CEC applicant. But whole thing was pretty scary!
