Dear All,

My application has been received on 25th June 2013. Should I start preparing to get my PCC from India as I am working in Saudi Arabia? I feel this process may take time. Also, can I go ahead directly to get India PCC from Saudi Arabia or I need some letter from Embassy?

Please suggest.

Raj

Re: Please Help Me! thank you

Thanks for this wonderful tips, BH!

well, the FBI website indicates the current processing time is 5-6 weeks.

I think FBI have shortern the processing time recently I remember around few month ago I checked on its website it said take around 10 weeks, does anybody know this?

Can anyone share their past FBI clearance time in here?

Dear Kevin-FSW
First I would like to congrats you from bottom of my heart for your Medical Request.

I would like to suggest you that please send the application to FBI along the request letter and attach the requirement letter from CHC that you have to complete the formalities within 60 days. This would certainly (as I think) would expedite the process.

I am afraid to say No as I don't have any idea about FBI clearance process but I fill personally for you that request letter would be sufficient along with the proof from CHC that you are required to complete the documentation within 60 days.

This will also mean, the keep a record of which NOC one had applied this year and they cant lie next year coming back with new NOC.

Ofcourse one can apply for new NOC next year. What if in the interim one year you have worked in a different field/industry. For any NOC CIC demands only 1 year of experience.

Friends who are closely monitoring the spreadsheet, can you please give me some estimate according to below details.

NOC: 2174
Date of Application received : 11th July
No of Applications returned from forum till now : 4
No of Applications charged by CIC: 120
No of Application charged from forum: 56
Applications received till 11th July from forum: 153
Estimated % of forum Charges: 47%

Can anyone calculate exaclty by subtracting estimated returned applications from total global applications for 11th July?

Will I fall under 300 cap? My fingers are crossed.

Will appreciate your answer.

There is no definite answer to your question.

Considering the scenario where all the applicants who applied from May 24th are all registered on the forum, there is a good chance that you fall in cap as there are another 180 slots left for NOC 2174. Of course this is an extreme positive scenario.
You may also consider a extreme negative scenario where there are 180 applications (all correct and acceptable) on May 24th and none of them are on the forum. In this scenario there is no chance for even 25th May applications also.
We just need to keep our fingers crossed and look for further updates from CIC and forum members getting their CC/DD charged.

In conclusion, we can't just conclude anything from the available data as its just random data of the members who applied for FSW.
I am hopeful that applicants till July mid have a good chance to be in the cap.

I mentioned name, noc, date of birth, address, passport number and names of family members on the application. I also put phone number and e mail on letter in case they want to get in touch but I doubt they will. We can only hope for the best now. Did you sent your original separately already?

Thanks for details...

Not yet sent originals. I am sending it now, only wanted to make sure Cover has enough info to identify my app (which will be reaching tomorrow).

Some News on PAFSO....It seems they are prepared to stretch this long.. no sign of resolution in near term.

31 July 2013 - PAFSO Files Bad-Faith Bargaining Complaint against the Government of Canada
In the wake of Treasury Board President Tony Clement’s refusal on July 26 to enter into binding arbitration to resolve its labour dispute with the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers, PAFSO this morning filed a bad-faith bargaining complaint against the Government of Canada with the Public Service Labour Relations Board (PSLRB).

In its complaint, PAFSO asserts that the Treasury Board “knowingly and intentionally demanded conditions for binding arbitration that could not reasonably be accepted”. These conditions “would, if accepted, have pre-determined the arbitration decision” in Treasury Board’s favour. In doing so, the Government violated the duty to bargain in good faith prescribed by the Public Service Labour Relations Act.

In light of the severe and mounting losses this labour dispute is inflicting on the Canadian economy, PAFSO is asking the PSLRB to hear our case as quickly as possible. We are also asking the PSLRB to order both sides to enter into binding arbitration.

“Our 1,350 members are profoundly disappointed with the Government’s refusal to take the responsible way out of this dispute,” said PAFSO President Tim Edwards. “By rejecting our offer of arbitration, they seem intent on prolonging this strike – at enormous cost to Canadian tourism companies, educational institutions, airlines, and agricultural producers. Their course of action defies reason and common sense.”

“PAFSO has made every reasonable effort to resolve this situation, including accepting three of the six preconditions Minister Clement sought to impose on free arbitration,” said Mr. Edwards. “The Government has not done the same. We can only conclude that Treasury Board is acting with prejudicial intent toward Canada’s Foreign Service – behaviour that should be of serious concern to all Canadians. We are seeking judicial intervention to compel the Government to negotiate in good faith.”

PAFSO’s complaint was filed pursuant to Section 190(1)(b) of the Public Service Labour Relations Act (Failure to comply with Section 106: Duty to bargain in good faith). The PSLRB is an independent quasi-judicial tribunal responsible for administering collective bargaining and grievance adjudication in the federal public service and in Parliament.
