I agree with you guys too...try to make life easy for the CIC officers by following the instructions will definitely make them happy! I have done a few things in my application that i would like to share:

1. I printed a separate barcode page and put it on top of my application (My form also had its barcode page included...so this means i printed 2 barcode pages)

2. I also organized my supporting documents according to the checklist but one thing I did in addition to that is I used post-it flags to flag each supporting document and named it...for example on the birth certificate copies I placed a flag on each and named it as "birth cert applicant" or "birth cert spouse"...and yes i did this for every piece of supporting document! :o :o(i know you guys think i'm crazy ??? ???...but trust me it helps!!!...as i can picture myself in their shoes!! ;D ;D

By doing this...i have eliminated the need for the CIC officer to look at a document and wonder what this document is...or look through a manual and identify what type of document it is! I mean if we take the example of the birth certificate alone...can you imagine how many different types and forms and colors of birth certificates there are in this world?

thanks :D

Hi Sonia.

Thanks for your valuable post. I did EXACTLY the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean come on, think of this poor CIO officer who has to sift through hundreds of different documents daily, day-in day-out. So repetitive and a huge responsibility to shoulder.

They *censored word*ing punched holes in my IELTS and PPC. All other documents are easy to get as I have multiple copies of everything.

What do you suggest I do? Is the hole maybe used for filing? Or to say that they are already invalid? Can I request to send another IELTS result in my old university (I have a friend there)?
ya they write uci on gneric form do they mention the title UCI and is it hand written.did u manage to get any information from call center before this refusal letter.

You can use same IELTS report for future applications but you should proactively provide reason of that HOLE, If you use it for canada immigration/student visaa..
 
FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Query regarding New Generic Application Form

Dear members,
I have a query regarding my friend.He had applied under NOC 2132 and his file was received on 12th August by Dexter.Now the issue is that he used old Generic application form (IMM 0008 (04-2013)E) instead of using new Generic application form (IMM 0008 (07-2013)E) which was updated in july.Although there is a minor change in footer of new Generic application form still he wants to send new one to be on safer side.What should he do i.e to use cover letter mentioning his personal details etc or write details outside envelop so that CIC people would be able to attach new generic application form with his application. Urgent feedback is awaited.

well as per CIC they are not handling such kind of additinal docs. IF not ask by them... But this year many applicant has sent docs after sending their file and with surprise they got PER too...

So in my view your friend have to send that upgraded form with detail cover letter with other detials...
 
Re: FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Query regarding New Generic Application Form

No need to send it again. They have just added the form name in the footer. No extra information has been asked for. This query was asked before also. Please check the pages of this forum.

Well as per past forum experience (marta's case)...old generic form was rejected....so I would suggest thats he/she send an updated generic form with cover explanation...and if your friend has a past UCI then please ask him/her to mention it in the cover letter as it will be easier for them to identify the applicant...if not...well then still try and send it without UCI....as there is nothing to lose here except courier charges!

Hope it helps

I'm sorry Prince...but i think you should keep your "PERSONAL" fight with someone out of the way of other applicants who are here with REAL QUERIES and PROBLEMS!!! and giving answers like this wont help them!!!

Sorry No offense meant!!

Hi Ulasad,

If you have mentioned an email address in the Contact Information of the Generic Application Form (IMM0008)...then you have declared that "all correspondence including personal information will be sent to that email address"!

So if you provided email address...they will send all forms of communication via that email address!

Only if you did not provide them with an email address...only then they will communicate via regular mail!

Hope this helps :D
 
I am 3rd June applicant, have got UCI on phone but no other information regarding file processing available on phone and have mail CIC for information which will take time of 20 working days to reply, CC is not charged yet and NOC is 3142.
