Hi Che, my e-Cas status says --

We received your application for permanent residence on April 15, 2009.

We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on May 27, 2009. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

That's all it says. I've submitted full application to Buffalo only on 6/4/09.

Hi Che! My current status in E-cas i- " Application Received ". I havent heard anything from them yet, still waiting.
My understanding is that my lawyer submitted my full application to CIC-MANILA around first week of April. Almost 2 months now and have not heard from them yet.

 

[jtob]

reydon,
don't worry, your AOR is coming anytime soon.
the manila office takes more than a month to open the documents we send.
i sent my full application march 27. they acknowledged receipt on may 14 and took another week for the AOR to arrive to my address.

Until now I didn't receive any letter for my application since my job list was under skilled B of there 38 occupational list.

I noticed that those applied march -november 2008( before the list came out) and was considered in the 38 list. We were requested to submit our updated documents with letter dated JAN 12. Are we in batched? My ecass is still "In Process" since I received my AOR.

To all!!! Do I need to take IELTS?

Thank you!!!!!!!

Hello Jhun, instructions are quite specific that non-native English speakers take the IELTS. I suggest you take it. There is a thread on trackitt.com regarding an applicant who did not submit IELTS and was assigned 0 points for language ability. The applicant was just a few points short of 67 and since he got zero for language, his application was denied. I just cannot find the thread anymore but that thread was very compelling. It's totally up to you, but if I were you, take it. Unless of course you are able to calculate that even with 0 for language, you will score at least 67.

Good luck to you.
