Dear Mankaran,

THanks for the quick reply. I tried the steps you have mentioned, reached to the call center agent but she replied saying that they do not have any information regarding FSW applications. Is there any other alternative telephone number.

Any help will be of great help. I wonder how others have got the UCI Number by calling to CIC.

Rightly said, afterall we are going to work together in the same country in future...

An Appeal

Dear Members,

I have seen normal human tendency that once one work is done and completed successfully, member would vanish from the forum without sharing his experience and updates.

I think this is the worst condition as we all are here to help each other so regardless of your position in getting your case process I feel we should help each other with our views and experience we have gone through during the process of immigration and this is what the forum is made for.

I hope no member would take this appeal personally but its an open request to all to kindly contribute to forum so other members can be benefited.

why donot you try writing "space" ......... i am sure it will work

Dear frns,

Urgent!!!

I'm not able to validate generic form of one of mine friend as he has only single word name means no Last name or family name, in that case Family Name field is blank in generic form and therefore it could not validate. If we write Not Applicable it appears "Not Applicable,H." on top left corner of other rest pages. This year, I hired consultant for my case and he knows the trick to validate the form by leaving the field blank but he refused to help me in this case as this is pertained to my frien. kindly explain if anybody knows the trick to validate.

Mention First Name in Family Name and leave the First name blank.... Your form will get validated...

This is the procedure given on CIC website help section.. Can't remember the link but this is the correct way in this scenario

Friend i told u already that u need to keep on trying. I got my UCI in the 4th attempt. first three attempts, i got the same response that dont have any information, that i need to call up CIO at Nova Scotia. But in the 4th attempt they asked a few questions like my country, DOB, Last name & First name & then they gave me the UCI number. Keep trying man, you will get it for sure if they have already opened your file. If they are yet to open your file, you will have to wait for a while then....

[size=10pt]Some interesting Reading....[/size]


Jason Kenney, for five years Canada's minister for immigration and multiculturalism, has moved on. He is now the minister for employment and social development after Prime Minister Stephen Harper reshuffled his cabinet on 15th July 2013. Mr Kenney will retain control of the multiculturalism brief.

Mr Kenney was a divisive figure. He became a popular figure with first generation Canadians and was dubbed 'the minister for curry in a hurry' by some commentators because he so frequently attended functions among minority ethnic communities.

But he was extremely unpopular with some left-wing commentators who considered him to have changed Canada's immigration system for the worse.

Kenney accused of 'anti-Muslim bigotry'

After news of the reshuffle broke, Heather Mallick of the Toronto Star accused him of 'cutting back madly on immigration'. Haroon Siddiqi, also writing in the Toronto Star, accused him of making 'immigration into a tool of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim bigotry' and Bernie Farber of the Globe and Mail wrote that Kenney had turned Canada from being a 'welcoming place for the stateless' into 'a place of refusal'.

But writing in The National Post, columnist Chris Selley wrote that, while Mr Kenney was certainly abrasive and could cause offence, claims that he was anti-Arab, anti-Muslim or against immigration were false. She said;
◦Mr Kenney did not cut immigration levels. She points out that, in 2012, Canada issued 257,515 new permanent resident visas. This equates to about 738 per 100,000 of the existing population; the same rate as for the last 25 years
◦Mr Kenney did not discriminate against Arabs or Muslims. Selley points out that 7.4% of new permanent residents in 2005, when the previous Liberal government was last in power, were Arabic speaking. In 2011, when Mr Kenney was minister, 9.2% of new permanent residents were Arabic speakers. More Arabic speakers have come to Canada under Mr Harper's Conservatives than came under the previous Liberal government
◦Mr Kenney has not cut Canada's humanitarian immigration program although he has made it slightly harder for people who claim asylum having lived in an intermediate, safe country to gain Canadian permanent residence.

Federal Skilled Worker Program

From workpermit.com's perspective, Mr Kenney's most notable actions were connected to the reform of Canada's skilled immigration programs.

Perhaps the most controversial change was his decision in 2012, to terminate some 400,000 applications made under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). This program was and remains Canada's main skilled immigration program but it had become overloaded with applications. By 2012, over 600,000 people were waiting for their applications to be processed and many applicants had been waiting for eight years.

Mr Kenney took the decision to terminate all applications made before March 2008 and to return the application fees. This led to a legal challenge in the Canadian Federal Court. Mr Kenney won the initial case though the possibility of an appeal remains.

Workpermit.com feels this was very unfair. Many people had waited patiently in line for years, dreaming of a new life in Canada only to have their hopes dashed by a stroke of Mr Kenney's pen.

FSWP backlog to be cleared by 2014

Having said that, there can be no doubt that, since the action was taken, Citizenship and Immigration Canada has since made great progress in dealing with the remaining backlog and Mr Kenney has said that he expects it to be cleared completely by 2014.

Mr Kenney also introduced the Canadian Experience Class which allows people with one year's work experience in a skilled position in Canada to apply for a Canadian permanent resident visa. About 10,000 CEC visas are issued each year.

Mr Kenney is replaced at CIC by Chris Alexander, a former Canadian ambassador to Afghanistan.
