Re: When should I submit the PCCs?

Hi Jatpunjabi,
How do you know that the PCC validity is for 3 months only?
I got my PCC from the consulate and it does not have any validity mentioned on it...


Jatpunjabi said:
friends,
I received my UCI and file no on 15/07/2013
I did not send PCC with my application.
Should i apply now for the PCC as it will take approx. 20days?
or should wait till visa office asks for it?
as validity of it is for three months only.

How long it took for you to come up with this remark? You even checked my score at the spreadsheet. Good boy. Keep trying. ;D
 
Re: IELTS score valadity

NOOO!!!!!. Your IELTS date is locked in to the date your application arrived at CIC....My IELTS results have now expired, but I still got my PER because it got to CIC before the expiration date and I will not have to re-sit the test.

Dear kunal999 for valadity i mean that PCC should not be older than three months when it reaches visa office.
It is mentioned in cic web-site's instruction guide for application package for FSW
 
I noticed even 3215 med technologist was 1 before and is 0 now like aerospace engineers.......the ones which were 1 before are 0 now and the ones which are nothing received are represented by a hyphen '-'

A SPECIAL POST FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PAID THROUGH DEMAND DRAFT.

Although Demand draft mode of payment is the most safest payment method, but it lacks some features that Credit card users enjoy.

While using the demand draft as a method of payment, we will have to see the considerable delay in hearing some news from CIO as we can't have any track over the clearing procedure.

I have seen many forum members including me getting panic when we don't hear where we stand ! !

Now consider the below mentioned scenario so that we can understand the procedure for the clearance as informed by my bank's forex department.
My bank forex department has explained me whole procedure along with the example which I am quoting below.
For e.g.
1. An applicant will approach a bank say ABC bank, forex department, Mumbai, India to purchase the demand draft of xxxx amount Canadian dollar.
2. ABC Bank will take the request and will draw a demand draft in payable a Canada on KKK bank, Toronto branch (or any other city branch where they have got their tie ups OR there own branch) and will intimate the KKK bank, Toronto branch about the xxxx amount the receiver's name as well as remitted by name.
3. Applicant will send that demand draft along with the application and after completing the completeness check CIO will initiate procedure for demand draft encashment.
4. Suppose CIO, has their account with XYZ Bank, Sydney Branch, NS. Now Demand draft of an applicant will be presented to XYZ Bank, Sydney branch.
5. XYZ Bank, Sydney branch will send this demand draft to the KKK bank, Toronto Branch for encashment PHYSICALLY. Once again I repeat instrument (demand draft) should be sent physically yo KKK Bank, Toronto Branch, in order to get it honored.
6. Upon receipt of the instrument at KKK bank, Toronto Branch, instrument will be verified for the authenticity and bank records will be checked and when bank officer is satisfied they will intimate the XYZ Bank, Sydney branch and will honor the instrument and transfer the payment to CIO account in XYZ Bank, Sydney Branch.
7. This is the point from where CIO account will be reflecting the successful payment received and file will be proceeded further for the PER generation.

Now comes the real calculation of the delays

Day 1 = CIO will present the instrument at their XYZ Bank, Sydney branch for getting the payment. XYZ Bank will further check whether where this instrument has to be sent for the clearing (in our e.g. KKK Bank, Toronto). XYZ Bank will send the instrument to Toronto for clearing. If XYZ bank uses normal post it will take around 4 days to reach Toronto. (As per Canada Post website) Hence,Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5. (Please exclude weekends)

Day 5 = Instrument will reach at KKK Bank, Toronto and will be verified with the records and will be given the clearance. Either on same day or next day i.e Day 6, XYZ Bank, Sydney branch will receive intimation for the clearance if given electronically. If given physically, we have to again wait for another 4 working days in transit. i.e. ( 6 + 4 = 10 days for physically intimation to XYZ bank Sydney branch)

Hence the people with payment mode of demand draft will experience the delays of 6-10 days as compared to people with CC.

I Hope this will clear the confusion.
 
Talking about being dumb...

We are all different here, some are smart ass, some are dumb, some are making jokes, some just don't get them, some are trying to make it fun, some keep hushing on others, some are stalking, some are contributing...

We all different, but we have a few things in common together.
Our pursuit for better future, our hopes, our anxiety, our community here.

So, lets try all of us to get together, no matter how different and annoying to each other we may seem.
That is what makes us a great community here. ;)
That is what makes a great society anywhere.

And who knows may be, for example, banana will be my good friend or neighbor very soon. Or may be, very soon some old grouchy member here will be genially hushing on my kids in the neighborhood somewhere in Toronto or Vancouver for making some noise while playing at the street.
I don't mind while I know he meant good. ;)

 
Hi,

I would like to ask if someone from this forum has been charged with application received in May 16????
