yes undoubtedly this is huge mistake.. but probably they wil go through ur education certificates n wil know ur level of education...
or i think u wil b saved wid WES eca report.. so don't panic .. stay positive

Maina, thank you so much for replying. You see, I automatically continue with the same logic when they ask you for the highest level and you answer the total years of "the highest" My wife is really pissed off with me for committing this mistake but I was hoping the officers do review the whole application before they send it back, they are not machines (I hope).

By any chance do you know how it works @ CIO, do they process the cases one by one from the same pile of applications for Skilled, Self-employed etc or they are all worked on separately with different processing times?

Hello House! I just joined this forum and am very impressed with the quality of information this forum offers. I filed my application on the 29th of July and I got my CC charged on the 29th of Oct and PER on the 30th of Oct. Please update my status on line 391 of the Spreadsheet.

Updated

Hi everyone
I submitted the application in the end of August and according to the spreadsheet the CIO is working on August 16 applications. I have a couple of questions and would be glad to hear what you think.
1. I made a mistake in generic application form, where it was requested "the highest level of education" so I put it correctly there but the next question was "number of years of educations in total" here I only put higher education years of 7 (seven) I now realized that I had to put the total including elementary and secondary. So it must have been 17 instead of 7. In the other form "background declaration" I did everything correctly.
Is this a huge error that would cause application to be returned?

2. At CIO do they process applications "first come first served" from a single pile for all economic categories such as Skilled, Self-employed, Investor or those are separate piles?

Please help

1. Don't think it will be a problem. They evaluate you education eligibility based on WES credential evaluation, not on information that you provided in your application. Minor mistakes and discrepancies won't be a reason for rejection.
2. These are separate streams, and they have different plans for visas and cases being processed under each stream per year.

Hi idima

For self-employed the WEs is not required in the first application, neither the copies of diplomas but there is a separate form "background declaration" where I put all my years: secondary + 2 Universities.

why don't u make affidavit for her birth certificate if she is born before 1990..

affidavit is best n safest option

Hi maina.... you mean affidavit from parents and notarize it?? does it work??

 

[idima]

Hey idima, is it possible that u withdraw money swiping your credit card and then create a DD for it and send it to CIC?

It is better to use DD for applicants from India now. Because you pay upfront to the bank, which issues DD and CIC gets money from their international account, not yours.
So, no transfer or withdrawal limits can hurt your application.

Hi maina.... you mean affidavit from parents and notarize it?? does it work??

no i mean go to Notary..

they have some pattern for this affidavit

they wil only enter applicant name, place , parents name etc in that format..

and they wil stamp it and then u can use it anywhere as a replacement for birth certificate

I have also same query, regarding passport expiry...but by some research on this canadavisa.com i found that if your passport valid for (say for eg) 6 months ....they (visa office) issues visa validty of 6 months.
Moral is valid of passport or validity of visa , which ever is earlier is valid.

That what i found..
Please share ....more information..

I would strongly recommend you to get a new passport before moving to Canada. Besides it will be much faster and easier to do it in your home country, then abroad. This is your international travel document and you can get a lot of trouble when traveling with expired passport.
