FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[ravin]

Hi Jigzyy,

Many thanks for the good work that you are doing with the excel sheet. Its very much appreciated.

Just wanted to ask you, Is there a way we can see application count by date sheet NOC wise. Everybody must be interested in their own NOC only so that way it could be more relevant. Dont mind if we cant do that way just a suggestion.

Thanks!

I have removed those entries which were still preparing for documents or waiting ECA. Please provide the information when you send the application.

Stats now exactly shows how many applications sent / received at CIO now. With those who were still preparing or in the process of waiting ECA / IELTS was making it unrealistic.

Sorry if this offended you.

Well said..I really appreciate this post.
We all are anxious and curious but have to be patient! This forum is a common platform for all of the applicants, to support and help each other. If somebody is fooling us we should simply ignore it to defeat the purpose.

Guys, a request to you! We are simply trolling on a topic by a guy who just ignited a little flare and now has become a silent spectator of the fireworks. Grow up you guys. You are mature enough to believe your conscience and patient enough to wait for an evidence by those who pretend to have achieved something well ahead of the rest of the world. And mature why not? You are applying for PR to a country outside of yours and start a new phase of life for greater good, ain't you?

I'm equally excited about all that is happening and seek the same answers as you do but do I believe in myself and my Karma. Leave rest to the god and you will be good for entire life. My file hasn't arrived in NS but that doesn't mean I'll asking forum guys when will it arrive. There's nothing you can answer on that; it's the courier company who does.

Just a request, please post only relevant and useful answers because there are many new-comers and first-timers whom we do not want to mislead/depress.

Good luck to all.

Spouse or Common-Law partner educational docs are required. Refer Document Checklist Point 13 - Proof of Education/Training/Qualification. Only ECA is not required for Spouse or Common-Law partner.

Dear friends,
Let me finish this debate of spouse's educational documents requirement once for all. It was in fact a fault of CIC. They updated the Document Checklist "TWICE", yes I'm right twice.

The first time they updated only the date at the bottom of the checklist as "IMM 5612 (05-2013) E" as well as some portion of "Educational Documents Requirements" section in which they added the requirement of ECA at the top but forgot to remove the spouse's educational documents requirement from the bottom which of course has now been replaced with spouse's IELTS under the new rules. Furthermore, the PhD Stream requirements as well as Arranged Employment Offer requirements remained the same as in the old Document Checklist "IMM 5612 (05-2012) E".

Perhaps only after receiving applications and noticing plenty of them with the redundant educational documents of spouse (with some even with ECA done) did they first realize this and found the checklist to be blameworthy. They then modified and updated the Document Checklist a second time which has exactly "IMM 5612 (05-2013) E" at the footer again but includes the complete changes to PhD Stream requirements, Arranged Employment Offer requirements as well as the Educational Documents Requirements. Now the heading "Proof of Education/Training/Qualifications" has been replaced with "Proof of Education" only.

If anyone of you has still doubts about it, check the latest Document Checklist at:
cic(dot)gc(dot)ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5612E.pdf

And of course if you want the old Document Checklist with exactly "IMM 5612 (05-2013) E" at the bottom, check it at:
webhostlead(dot)com/IMM5612E.pdf

I've to replace the "." with "(dot)" because the system does not allow me to post links.

Thanks and regards...

I really don't think the 5% or whatever percent is relevant to all NOCs, I believe it may vary. 2174 may become more this year other NOCs may be less. I don't know, just thoughts, what do you think

I agree.. My estimate earlier was that 2174 will be ~20%

Thanks so much for this - you are a genius hah hah! Btw you have any ideas when they updated the new form? I guessed very recently only. Very disappointed with the way a Gov agency like CIC operates.

I do agree on this.

international DD are with 6 month validity, today I enquire again with my bank and they assure that they will stamp expire date of 6 month on DD. I told them to issue the same today.

Really.... I tried every Bank in New Delhi and no one agreed to this.... As per them RBI does not allow them to do so..

Which bank has agreed to put a stamp of 6 months.. Please let us know and it'll help others as well from India..

Ah great. Do you know exactly when they updated the file? This is ridiculously stupid

 

[shehzad865]

Any idea on which date the checklist was updated?

I checked this on the last weekend (probably 25th or 26th May) when I was checking the documents sent with my application which was received on the 21st of May just to be sure that I didn't miss anything. And I was shocked to see that I had missed the educational documents of my wife! I couldn't believe my eyes staring at the Document Checklist. How could this happen?

Months before the new FSWP even opened, my wife and I had been visiting CIC and other websites just to be aware of the proposed changes. And it was mentioned everywhere that spouse's education will be replaced with spouse's IELTS.

It was only for this reason that I was sure the New Document Checklist with 05-2013 as the date could never ask for spouse educational documents and so I just made sure that my ECA and my educational documents were included in the application. I never bothered about even thinking of my wife's documents.

But a few days ago when I panicked on this issue, my wife went to the checklist's URL as a last ditch resort and we both couldn't believe our eyes that it was no longer there (the document had been changed a second time). That was a great sigh of relief for the both of us.

Yes you're right. This is completely unacceptable.

Yes you're right.

 

[balkanada]

Ah great. Do you know exactly when they updated the file? This is ridiculously stupid

At 4/25 I downloaded the version with the 'code' at the bottom of first page: "IMM 5612 (05-2012) E", size: 240KB
Looks like the same I downloaded at 4/30 too.

At 5/5 I downloaded the one that I'm using right now and that I think is still on website.

Hmm, well - I have just checked. looks like that the one currently at the website was made at 5/17, if document stats are not lying.

Anyway - there are 3 sizes for that doc: 240KB, then the one with 246KB appeared and then the latest with 244KB
