Hi all, I have been working in Canada for 1 year now and was planning to apply for PR under CEC. I have already cleared CELPIP and have PCC. But my employer won't provide a reference letter with job details which I understand is a crucial document for success of CEC PR application. So now I am planning to apply under FSWC on NOC 2174. But from the previous posts, I understand that it might be too late to apply for this year now due to the limited cap. I need to do my ECA also which will take even more time. But I was wondering if still go ahead and apply, will it be considered for next year in case current year vacancies become full. Also does scoring higher points mean a better chance of success. And would a normal employment letter stating only the starting and ending date of employment and position held along with paystubs and visa petition document (which describes my duties here) suffice to score the additional 10 points on adaptability in case I want to show my Canadian experience. Would greatly appreciate any feedback and assistance on the same.

You can still apply before April 2014, since you work in canadian currently. You can apply even with the cap filled. Best of luck!

I have no clue where I am going wrong. The moment I say, I am calling to know about the status of my FSW application, they say that they are sorry as they have no access to the files in the processing office and they promptly take my email address and send this useless information to me.

All DDs in India are valid for 3 months only no matter what. This rule has been enforced by RBI since April 2012.

But SBI is offering DD's valid for 6 months

Hi Sinestra,

Try using the following script I used this and got my UCI. however, there isnt much that the UCI signifies except that they opened your application.


" Hello Alex, My name is Sinestra. 10 weeks ago, I applied for FSW 2013. I was wondering if i cud get my Client Id, since i havent heard from the CIC as yet. Thank you. "
she will ask you for your name , DOB, etc and giv you the ID
Good luck

 

[faroquex]

quote from CIC website - You can check "the status of your application online" after the visa office has received it from CIC and started processing.

That's why, like few others, I was not able to access online to check status although I got PER week before.

Hi NRK

few Questions on your post

1. This year those who got their application returned, have red tick marks on their application forms ( like RAJ)
so last year , Was your package also marked with such tick marks ?

2. Did you write in your envelope "NOC category XXXX" when you sent the application last year
If that has not been the case I guess , they would have still opened your package, even if the application has reached after the cap limit , because then they could think you of arranged employment category and later realized that you were not so , included explanation letter ?

3. How long does it took for your application package to reach you? I meant approximate date, if you remember ?

1. They underlined few lines with red color on letter. Underlined lines are "We have now completed the assessment of ur application and have determined that you are not eligible for processing in this category for the following reasons." then there are number of reasons mentioned in the letter but they have underlined two reason, one is "application was received after global Cap of 10,000" and another is you did not have an arranged employment offer."

2. Yes, my consultant had mentioned NOC code over the envelope.

3. It took exact 88 days for application package to reach me.

 

[fsw2174]

That's gr8

Yes need to check with bank , face 2 face! Or ask them to forward the email response they got from jp morgan

it written JP MORGAN CHASE BANK at toronto canada
I will go to bank for that also

I called cic. A nice lady gave me Client ID. I checked it online but found no information. Then I checked it over the phone. I got reply that my application was received in 2008. . I remembered that it was my first application that I sent to cic. I called again at the same number and told the agent that I need some information for my current application which was received by cic on may 31st, 2013. He took my information, checked in the system and told me that he cannot find any information for my application for this year and advised me to send cic an email and wait for their reply.

My NOC is 2147.

Hi Mr. Shoaibuc, did your first application in 2008 haven't cancelled yet? Didn't your receive any refunds from your 2008 application that is why it is still in there system?
