FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[terki]

Hello, Friends
A query - My passport was going to expire in may 2015....so I applied for reissue of passport. My old passport was in ECNR category (emigration check not required). But by mistake on the part of the passport authorities I have been issued a passport with ECR status.
As per this link
http://moia.gov.in/services.aspx?ID1=111&id=m7&idp=104&mainid=73
Canada is a country where EC is not required but i don't know if High Commission will allow ECR passport.
I am confused Should I ask for a ECNR passport to passport authorities OR there won't be any problem in immigrating to Canada with ECR passport.
Did any one faced similar problem?
Plz advise

ECNR can be cancelled same day at passport offices - carry copy of 10th and degree marks sheet original

Buddy, again these are the references of personal experiences and not based on actual written facts i.e. written rules and regulations. I would have seconded the opinion of carrying whole funds right away when this was discussed if my consultant (again who is a Canadian lawyer) hadn't told me clearly that I don't have to carry these funds by law. He never suggested anyone to carry whole funds and the people who took his advise were through with no problem at all. So let's close this matter. When you go, carry whole funds and I'll carry funds as suggested by my consultant

Good luck to you! Wish you a speedy process and quick settlement..

Regards

Hi Guys,

I am a FSW 2014 applicant whos been requested to submit Medicals and PCC's within 45 days.

PROBLEM: I have already sent my FBI request last week & i don't expect the report to be in for another 7-8 weeks (according to latest updates)

QUESTION: Does NDVO extend the deadline if requested in a cover letter ? I can show proof of submission to FBI (Fedex senders slip).. If anyone of you has faced a similar situation,, please please guide.

My forum ( FSW2014 timeline ) is clueless as none of us have experience in this.Please help me out

Okay guys I have one quick question.

My medicals are done and reached.
I have paid Landing fee as well and I checked with my bank, the DD has been en-cashed.

So my question is when they en-cash payments, after checking everything with medicals?
OR
Then get paid in any case? Means they charge no matter how medicals reports would be?

And how much time they take after this? (for passport request)

Thanks in advance.

LANDING EXPERIENCE


Hello Folks!

I am back from Canada. It has been quite a while since my last post. I was busy with some travel and the Canada landing. Here is my landing experience.


I landed in Canada on 26 August 2014. I was already in UK for a trip, so I took a flight from London to Toronto. The flight was via Montreal. My destination in Canada as per my application was Calgary.

I landed in Montreal and was done with my immigration /landing formalities in a short while. The wait in the queue took an hour ..the immigration formalities itself took 15 minutes. I had nothing with me, just a small bag and no funds , no list of items to follow.

Immi Officer: How much funds are you carrying funds with you?
Me: Zero. Only cards.

Immi Officer: Okay. So how much money do you have at your disposal to be transferred to canada for your settlement?
Me: 30,000 CAD

Immi: Any goods to declare?
Me: Nothing.

Immi: ( Looking at my bag) Is that all you luggage ?
Me : Yes.

Immi: Any goods to follow?
Me: May be some items. My wife will landed later so she will get them

Immi: Address in Canada?
Me: ( my sisters address)

And that was it. He gave me the welcome to canada look and the book
Next day I rented a car and went to Service Ontario office. Got my SIN in 5 minutes. Checked a few banks for accounts,CC, etc.
Stayed in Canada for 7 days as a tourist. And returned. My sister will send me the PR card by post later.


If anybody has any queries regarding landing, feel free to drop me a line.

Good luck to all.

Regards

This is good to read the details of your landing experience bro.
I am little curious about the FUNDS.
Is it necessary to keep all funds with you, whatever you have shown?
I read you had no funds at the time of landing but you does mentioned about $30000 CAD.

Secondly I am waiting for passport request, how much time it takes after landing fee en-cashed? Medicals are already reached.

This is a clear evidence that we don't need to carry any POF with us in the form of Cash / DD / TC but carrying only Debit cards / bank statement will suffice provided we convince the officer that we have minimum funds at our disposal which can be transferred to Canada.

No Proof required. Just say the amount that you have. You say; the officer writes. End of the story. No one will ask for your bank statement or your wallet. ;D But whatever question is asked, please say the truth only. No need to be dodgy for anything. Even if something is not inline with the requirements, mention the truth ONLY. And you will be fine. They are very considerate. DO NOT MISREPRESENT even a slight bit. They trust whatever you say. if any false information is found in a an audit later on, then that is trouble.

Good luck

[FSWapplicant123]

I can't insert all the job responsibilities in "main duties" box of work experience section in Schedule 3.
- Is that ok if I write "See the next page" and attach a page with detailed job description?
- Can my job responsibilities be exactly the same as in my reference letters?

Please let me know. Thanks!
