Oohhhh that's interesting! Let me check mine ;D

How can you find out the UCI for visitor visa...i know they send a letter when they request your passports...i dont have that letter any more. Is there any other way you can find that UCI...may be on passport?
 
Great idea!

@ all Senior guys

I have quick doubt about the language eligibility and mark distribution according to IELTS results


No where it is mentioned that applicant should get points separately for each language ability

the table only says

if CLB level 7 then 4 points for each ability i think which means ( 4+ 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 )

else if CLB level 8 then 5 points for each ability i think which means ( 5+ 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 )

else CLB level 9 then 6 points for each ability i think which means ( 6+ 6 + 6 + 6 = 24 )


Please clarify ??/

Dear Friends,

I've just received today my "Enquiry on results" from IELTS (06 of April, 2013). It took 9 weeks. Anyway in the meantime I sat an IELTS again I'v got positive results - overall 7.

My mark from writing has been increased a whole 1 band! From 5.5 to 6.5.

My point is...I am thinking to have my next exam remarked too. However, I sent an original results from that test in my application to CIC. I wonder if there may be any interrupting with results. Lets say, CIC wants to check me and will encounter some difficulties related to remarking. For example, in Cambridge they will remove my results from database until they will provide new ones.

My point is, if CIC resent my app to me (from any reason), next year I would have not enough points to apply. Having positively remarked that test I wouldn't have to sit IELTS again.
What do you advice? Go for this remarking?

hi, i need some suggestion from senior members like jigzyy,marta,islandbabe.when should i contact to my bank for checking draft encashment.file sent on 15th may. my bank is ready to provide me the status of my draft.
 
Experts, I have a question here.
My application was file 8th May 2013. But still no payment process from CIC or no rejection as of yet... I had a previous visitor visa and work permit for canada..I had stayed there for a year..
Does CIC checkes anything based on previous visitor visa or work permit ..because i suspect this is the reason its taking time..but experts opinion will help here..

I have a UCI from prev work permit but i could not locate any current information from cic for it.
thx
 
@ Manish
check your inbox .
Ideally they will check if you had work permit, every information is captured in their global data base . But your previous experience should be a plus point.
BTW which NOC have you applied this time ? and what does the previos occupation mentioned on your work , does it match with the current eligible occupation ?
I hope this information might shed some light on it !

NO THERE IS NOT ANY CONNECTION WITH RESPECT TO YOUR OVERSEAS TEAVEL OR VISA RELATED THINGS AT THE FIRST STAGE OF CIC.
ONE OF MY FRIEND'S FILE IS ACCEPTED THOUGH HIS PAST FILE WAS REJECTED AND THE SAME THING HE MENTIONED IN GENERIC FORM TOO.
I THINK YOU NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMETIME..HOPE FOR THE BEST.

It is clearly mentioned on check list..you need to get job letter with all detals like duration of work , duties,full/part time ext
and paystubs optional doc.
thats it

For a newbie with the FSW process, this forum is invaluable.
For job experience, what documentation is required?
 
dont know how people define seniors!! anyway..you can check with your bank..it will be more easy for you to get status if you have taken draft from private foreign exchange service like thomas cook..thats the reason for immigration purpose we should always choose thomas cook..they are good in service.
here in your case you bank should also give you status of the draft..
