Hi ,
considering the quota on pr applications,what would be the lead time for processing for the application applied for 1122 profession between 8th and10th of oct 2010.
hi Dinesh
Now as per the new rule the Total precess time will be less if the quota of the profession ur applying is not closed,- then it talkes only 6-8 months for total process time, coz in the old FSW, there was a time of 120 days to submit the full documents to our VO. In new tht 120 days are saved
So Good luck buddy ........ cheers :D

Ok well I have done my points assessment and it is 61. The guide states that if you score less than 67 you can write a letter asking them to consider other factors. Has anyone had any success with this? I am planning on applying for the PR as a Licensed vocational nurse hopefully by October. I am worried about the points though.

Hello,

I'm preparing my application under the Federal Skilled Worker Programe. I would appreciate if you asnwer to the following questions:

1- I'm payment with VISA method. Once I can't find a way to pay it online, the only think I have to do regarding payment is to fill the FEE PAYMENT FORM and sign it?

2- The translation of my employment contracts are already notorized but the certification of copies of my employment contracts are in Portuguese. Do you also need this translation notorized or can just be a simple translation?

3- Should I send the ORIGINAL or the COPY of my Birth Certificate? (in my VO specific instrutions they don't mention that)

Thanks so much for your cooperation.

Best Regards,
Raquel Genio

Hi There,
I am new to this forum. Put couple of posts here.
I m in the process of gathering my documents and planning to put my application in a week or two.


1.Which courier is fast and prominent...
I heard of many couriers delivering documents at some other places in CANADA and then re-routing it to NS, Sydney thus more time-consuming..
Also how much is the charge rate for courier to NS, Sydney?

2.Also how did you get so many documents notarized? and how many days does it take to do so many pages notarized?
Did you pay per copy notarized? or in lumpsum?

3.How does a notarized copy seem??? Is it same at True Copy or with a red seal of Notary?

4.Regarding my spouse' transcripts, she has studied in an affiliated college of GUjarat University. NOw when she went to university for transcripts, they firstly denied about it saying that she has not studied direclty in any of the faculty of gujarat university in ahmedabad, Then one officer agreed to do it and he just handed over to her the computerised typed summary mentioning "Transcripts" where she need to go to her college and get the college seal and sign from authority.

But the transcript was having heading "Application for Admission in Education Institution in UK, USA, Canada.
Will this be accepted as transcripts?
5. WHat mode you selected for Fees Payment--> DD, Bankers Cheque or Credit Card?
6. Have anyone here have hired a consultant?

Thanks in advance for your replies..

Dear All,

This was posted by SAMRAO 2004 Thread ... Please read & post your comments

This is the information I got from a very reliable source regarding processing time lines.



To a question about the concerns on timelines this is what the minister replied on 16/17 Sept 2010 before his departure from Manila: The present time line in excess of 6 years for FSW processing will be brought down to 4 – 5 years in the current year. The range of time lines is given in 4 categories in the CIC international website ie under 30% 50% 70% and 80%. Soon the 30% of cases will be completed in 4years and 80% cases done in 5 years. The visa posts running high inventory will get assistance to meet the challenges by drawing resources from other visa posts or inducting extra human resources.



My conclusion from the above reply of the minister is as follows:



The present time line CHC Delhi posted as 90 months is because of the fact Dec 2003 is still going on.
The purpose why CIC is posting timelines as 30% 50% 70% 80% could imply the complexity each application may pose while processing. While the cases that come under 30% category could be because of the simplicity the application facts contain. Imagine the applicant is a bachelor/spinster or a person married, with family size 1 to 3 children, the applicant lived in the same place for his entire life till application or in multiple locations mostly in India with an occasional travel abroad a period for not more than 6 months each time how many ever trips he/she may have undertaken. Now imagine the same person living abroad for once away from India which could be under 50% and several spells of different job contracts each time for 1 or 2 years maximum in different countries etc. The complexity keeps increasing, taking marriage and other situations upward requiring of several background checks. The most complex would even go beyond 80% timeline under extraordinary circumstances.
The thinking in Canadian policy makers is undergoing a major metamorphosis and CIC is already showing signs of its implementation. The result of the thinking is the latest ministerial instruction and 29 category announcement. Once the backlog is exhausted, immigration will be only through student migration. Remember the popular saying, ’Catch them Young’. In a few years from now the immigration could possibly be through Student Migration route. Even in the present ministerial tour this was evident. Where ever the minister went he was encouraging students to come to Canada for higher studies. Immigration will be linked and restricted to the international students because their integration into Canadian society will become much easier and readily possible. For this the future Governments should have the same vision and willingness to carry forward this thinking.
The point of our immediate concern is if CIC will truly reduce timelines as above, then the tail enders stand to benefit the most. Dec 2007 along with Feb 2008 may possibly get through by 2012 is my estimation.I want to stress again that the 2004 Jan - Dec will be decided in the current year - before June 2011 itself.

Hi Bhavik,
Nice to see a gujarati here.
Well, I have done my documents with second option only (8-10 Rs). I went to Judicial court where you can find number of notaries sitting there.
I paid Rs. 9 per documents, but then you can negotiate with some of notary to get a good bargain.

btw, when did you put your application? under which NOC?
Keep in touch buddy.

I have sent my application to CIO along with all the required documents as per new rules and which was as per website of Fedex was delivered to CIO on 18-8-2010.

But I have not received any response for delivery of my application to CIO by CIO even after passage of at least one Month.
Is there any one who had submitted his application after 26-06-2010 and also has received any response for delivery of application from CIO.

Is there any other way to confirm that my application is under process in CIO.

Hello friend,

Even I followed the same way. Please keep me posted on this about your AOR. It seems they take 1M+ for AOR.
