Guys just to share how I was able to contact CIC for free. I downloaded magicjack application. You can call US or Canada for free. That is what I used when I got my UCI no.
 
To call CIC or listen to IVR just dial (613) 944-4000. Then follow the voice prompt.

Hope this will help to save money for call cards or phone bills. :)
 
anyone else who has no feedback or PER from the CIC. who's application were received on june 17 with DD.. Is their any email address of CIC for inqury purposes...Thanks...
 
God AOR Please!!!
 
Hi Admins,

Though my details were updated last week by one of the admins I can't find them in the spreadsheet now. Can you please include these again.

Thanks

Im a 2174 applicant from may 14. My fee was encashed on july 16. A month ago, due to the lacks of news, i wrote an email to cic asking for the status of my application. Today they finally answered back with:

"Your file is with our office and is awaiting completion of initial processing. You will be contacted in due course."

I don't know what to think(am i in the cap?..what exactly is initial processing after encashing fee?)

What do you guys think?
 
Hi All Well Wishers

Got the AOR email yesterday afternoon from NDVO. What a great relief. The entire waiting process is really very sterssful and hard to believe.

So on an average, its been approx 2 months to get the PER from the date of application received and approx 2 months to get AOR.

Hoping the same trend continues and will get the Medical, PPC request email in next 2 months.

All the best..
 
What are the usual questions asked by Back ground verification agency for employment history verification at the resident country?

HR folks pls share the common questions so our references and our self are well informed.

I found couple of links that threw some light,

http://jobsearch.about.com/od/backgroundcheck/g/employment-history-verification.htm
http://www.howcast.com/videos/418148-How-to-Check-Someones-Employment-History


Based on above links, following are common verification questions

1. Name of companies you have worked for (Where-Location & when)
2. your job titles and duties
3. the dates of employment (Overall start and end, Title wise start and end date)
4. the salary earned at each of your jobs (How frequently paid, in what form the payment is)
5. reasons for leaving (Might not apply as CIC is not an employer)
6. residence (Might not apply as CIC is not an employer)

:) Please add more details to BV process... Awaiting your inputs
