Dear seniors and friends

On Friday I received letter from London Visa office (Dated 22 May 2012) from local post having four pages:

A: Letter 1: In order to continue your application, we required the additional documents marked below....: They marked and highlighted only right of permanent resident fee block. Have to send via bank draft and nothing about additional documents, medical etc....

B: Green Page: General points regarding immigration cost and fees (photocopied on a green color page)

C: Letter 2: The application you submitted to the CIO, NS Canada, included payment of the application fees in the form of a certified bank instrument in Canadian dollars. We have since been informed that your instrument has not cleared the bank. Your applications fee have thus not been paid. Your application for PR visa under federal skilled is therefore incomplete and cannot be processed until payment is received. Submit your fees to London visa office within 60 days otherwise................

D: Photo copy: of my bank draft which I sent to NS Canada in 2009 against application fee.

Pleas guide me what to do, as in December 2009 I had received my payment receipt number ,too, when CIC Canada first responded that you are eligible and directed to send complete documents to respective high commission. Moreover, I also attached a copy of that email regarding application fee when I submitted complete documents.

What does it mean that without any updated documents and medical they are requiring permanent residence fee along with application fee.

Really frustrating. Mystery still remains as after this issue they may respond by saying point numbers, JDs etc...

Need you guidance and responses for further actions.

Regards

Confirm from your bank the status of the original bank draft. If cleared, go ahead and pay the RPRF. If not, recall the draft and send in a new bank draft for all paymentrequired. Although most likely, the original cheque is now cleared and the letter is only just getting to you.

I have a dilemma, I got married in the philippines but my marriage certificate will not be released till end of july. I want to send my FSW application by july 1 because the quota for nurses gets filled up easily. Can I just send the certified true copy of our marriage contract that I have now?
Btw, I just want to ask..do I still need to change the name in my passport? Coz that will still be a lot of time wasted if I do change my name. Thanks a lot!

Hai seniors,

I am little bit tensed about my FSW application. I applied on 18/10/2012 and got PER on 12/01/2012. After that no news. I don’t know the status of my file whether to reached LVO or still with CIC .

When I checked my ECAS it is showing as IN PROCESS with a Line that we receive your application of 18/10/2011. This is showing since January 15 2012. While checking others Ecas in this blog they have some more lines before reaching to INPROCESS , we rcvd ur application on this date, we started processing ……..like that .

Pls share your views

Regards

Unni

Only PA needs IELTS.

Its wise to accompany her. After visa, PA can go alone and others can go afterwards before the visa expiry.

Can anybody help me out? I have quite a few questions regarding the FSW requirements
1. Do we need to have the photocopies of the documents notarized? Or certified? Or can we just send it like that
2. Regarding the education requirements needed? Are High school, college diploma and professional certificates enough? Or do we need to provide transcripts?
3. For the copies of the proof of relationship in canada, does it have to be notarized there in canada for it to be valid?
4. My marriage contract has not been released yet, is it ok to just send the certified true copy of my marriage certificate?
5. From the main checklist and guidelines, its not written that we have to include the visa office checklist specific to our country. Do we still need that because I cannot even find the link where to download the checklist, if ever we needed that.

I hope someone helps me out here. Pretty please....I want to be able to send it by july. Thanks!!

Hi!
I am filling out the Fd.Skilled Worker category application form and I have some confusion in the following pages:

1. Do I have to fill out ADDITIONAL FAMILY INFORMATION form for my Spouse? If yes then in Section A , while filling out my spouse and
her parent’s information do I have to mention my name as main Applicant name in here first? I am asking this because while I am filling
the form out for my Spouse then her Father and mother name may create confusion with mine. Any suggestion.
2. IN SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION – YOUR TRAVELS form in page 2 c) , d),e) I have nothing to mention so I selected the box do not
travel. Do I have to fill the tables with N/A or not applicable or just select the box and leave the table blank?
3. ADDITIONAL DEPENDANTS/DECLARATION FORM . I think this form is not applicable to people who are just applying husband and wife
with no kids or any one in family. Is It correct or I am wrong?
So , if this is not applicable then should I write N/A throughout the form or just do not tag this form with the application packet?
4. SCHEDULE 3 ECONOMIC CLASS-FEDERAL SKILLED WORKERS:
a. What is the good amount to show in my bank account. (for 2 people CD$ 14000)
b. When I have to show this amount? This bank document is to be submitted with the Application packet?
c. Do I have to show this amount by a letter from my Bank mentioning that this amount I have in my account?
d. Can I show a letter from my home country bank that shows I have a joint account with my father of $$$ amount of money
that I can use if required.
5. Do I have to submit all the forms even though those are not applicable for me? I did not write anything in them . If I have to
submit them as a packet then do I have to write not applicable in each line and then submit it?
6. FEE PAYMENT FORM- is it ok to pay by credit card this fee as there is a option there?
7. Finally, how to select the visa office address if I am in USA? Can I select the Canadian embassy in DC?

I appreciate any information that will help me.
Thanks!
