HELLO THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON THIS FORUM. I HAVE BENEFITED A LOT FROM THIS FORUM AS A SILENT VIEWER. I CAME ACROSS THIS FORUM IN MAY 2010 WHEN I WAS INTERVIEWED FOR MY FSW IMMIGRATION VISA AT LONDON (CANADIAN HIGH COMMISSION). I SHOULD GIVE MY TIME LINE BEFORE I CONTINUE. APPLIED FOR FSW VISA IN MAY 2007 FROM LONDON ENGLAND AS SAP, GOT AOR IN JULY 2007. RECEIVED UPDATE LETTER IN JUNE 2009.. SUBMITTED MY DOCUMENTS ALONG WITH IELTS RESULTS IN OCTOBER 2009. RECEIVED INTERVIEW THROUGH EMAIL IN APRIL 2010 FOR MAY. I HAD A DETAILED INTERVIEW WHERE THE VISA OFFICER PROBED EVERYTHING FROM MY EDUCATION TOWARDS MY JOB EXPERIENCE. VO WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING, COURTEOUS YET STICKING TO THE JOB DUTIES BY BEING VERY ASSERTIVE IN AWARDING POINTS.
AFTER A DETAILED INTERVIEW WHERE SHE NEEDED SOME CLARIFICATION ABOUT MY MARRIAGE, EDUCATION AND WORK EXPERIENCE SHE DECLARED THAT I HAVE PASSED THE INTERVIEW AND HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH POINTS FOR IMMIGRATION. SHE SAID TO ME YOU HAVE TO UNDERGO SOME SECURITY CHECKS AND ONCE YOU ARE THROUGH WE WILL SEND YOU MEDICAL REQUESTS. I WAS A BIT CONFUSED AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW WHEN THE VO ASKED ME AND MY WIFE SEVERAL TIMES WHAT WILL YOU DO IF I DONT GIVE YOU VISA, BECAUSE SCOTLAND IS ALSO A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN. ONCE THE INTERVIEW WAS OVER WE HAD A BRIEF INFORMAL CHAT FOR 10 MINS IN WHICH SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT ANYONE WHO ENTERS CANADA HAS ELIGIBILITY AND WE ARE VERY CAREFUL IN AWARDING POINTS AND WE STRICTLY FOLLOW GUIDELINES AS A CASE OFFICER. BY THAT TIME I WAS ALSO WORKING FOR THE UK GOVERNMENT AND I ALSO HAD TO FOLLOW STRICT GUIDELINES BY THE GOVERNMENT. I THEN CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE AND READ ABOUT QORAX'S THREAD ABOUT BACKGROUND CHECK.
MONTHS PASSED BY AND I WAS A BIT PERPLEXED WHETHER I WILL GET MY MEDICAL REQUEST OR NOT IN TIME AS MY UK VISA (TIER 1) WAS COMING TO AN END. BUT I STILL KEPT MY HOPES HIGH AND TRUSTED MY ALLAH AND KEPT PRAYING. HOPEFULLY I GOT MY MR REQUEST IN APRIL 2011 A WEEK BEFORE EATER HOLIDAYS. WENT THROUGH MY MEDICALS IN MAY 2011 AND LEFT UK IN JUNE 2011 AFTER INFORMING LONDON VO THAT I AM LEAVING UK FOR GOOD. RECEIVED MY PPR1 IN PAKISTAN IN AUGUST 2011AND FINALLY GETTING MY PPR2 IN OCTOBER 2011. BY THE WAY LONDON OFFICE FORGOT TO INFORM ME ABOUT MY PPR2. I WAS AGAIN WAITING PATIENTLY FOR MY PPR2 WAS ASKED MY ISLAMABAD OFFICE IN JANUARY 2012 THAT MY COPR IS WITH THEM SINCE OCT 2011 AND I NEED TO SEND MY PASSPORTS. UPON WHICH I SENT AN EMAIL AND APPRISED THEM I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT PPR2 BY LONDON VO. NEXT DAY I RECEIVED AN APOLOGY EMAIL FROM LONDON VO THAT MY PROGRAM MANAGER WAS ON HOLIDAYS AND HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN TO MAKE ME AWARE ABOUT MY PPR2.
FINALLY ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL I WAS GIVEN VISA FOR CANADA ALONG WITH MY FAMILY IN FEB 2012 AND WE LANDED IN APRIL 2012. THE REASON I AM WRITING IS TO CLEAR SOME MISCONCEPTIONS AMONG MANY FORUM MEMBERS WHO THINK THAT SOME VO HAS WRONGLY REFUSED THEIR CASES BEING BIASED AND PREJUDICED BECAUSE OF THEIR NATIONALITY. I MYSELF IS A PAKISTANI AND HAVE WITNESSED MANY PAKISTANI GETTING THROUGH LONDON VISA OFFICE. SOMETIMES WE HAVE NOT WORKED PROPERLY IN OUR DOCUMENTATION OR PERHAPS ALLAH HAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT I OUR FATE. TRUST ME THE CREATOR HAS SOMETHING BETTER FOR YOU. I HAD APPLIED FOR CANADIAN STUDENT VISA FOR HIGHER EDUCATION IN 2004 WHICH WAS REFUSED. I THEN CAME TO UK FOR MY MASTERS AND GOT IMMIGRATION FOR CANADA. NOW I REALIZE GOD HAS SOMETHING BETTER FOR ME. TRUST ME THE WHOLEWORLD IS FAR OPEN FOR US. MANY PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN HAVE IMMIGRATED TO AUSTRALIA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD AND THEY ARE DOING MUCH BETTER. SO MY REQUEST FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN REFUSED IS TO STOP MOANING AND GRUMBLING AND INSTEAD LOOK FOR OTHER WAYS AND DOORS.IF GOD HAD CLOSED ONE DOOR FORYOU, TRUST ME HE HAD OPENED OTHER DOORS FOR YOU. CANADA MAY NOT BE THE GOOD ONE FOR YOU OTHER PLACE MIGHT BE BETTER FOR YOU.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE AT THIS FORUM ESPECIALLY QORAX. I MIGHT NOT BE ALONE IN GAINING A LOT OF INFORMATION WATCHING SILENTLY AND READING EVERY POSTS CAREFULLY. NOW I AM IN CANADA I HAVE TO EMBARK UPON ANOTHER JOURNEYBY LANDING MYSELF INTO A "JOB". THOUGH TOUGH WORK. THANK YOU GUYS......
