Hello to everyone!

Today I received my PER and was really surprised as yeasterday I was trying to call CIC by myself and get UCI # however all attempts were unsuccessful as all representatives told that they don`t have any kind of access for FSW applications which were filled from abroad....

NOC 1113
App received - 13 August
CC charged - 17 November
PER received - 03 December

VO - Kyiv.

By the way have couple question and probably someone could help me out with them..

In sept 2014 I quit my job and till right now don`t have any official job.
Do I have to notify CIC about this? If yes, then it will be my local Visa Office (Kyiv) or Sydney NS?


Thank you and good luck to all applicants!

Congrats on your PER!

Hello everyone..

Coming back to the forum after a long time as I was waiting for my interview to happen. Perhaps it was not my day and may be destiny wants something better for me & my family

The Visa officer was an Indian guy and seem to be quite experienced. I closed the sliding door and sat in front of him. He asked me to get up and close the door again. This made me feel that he could be a tough guy.

First of all, he asked for all the passports and I handed over the same.

He pointed couple of Iranian visas in my passport and asked why I went to Iran. I explained that my company had invested in some projects there and I had to visit for that purpose. But he was more concerned and asked me if I would go again? I said I don't know, may be not.

I am getting a feel that from this point, a bad tone was set for the whole of the interview.

He asked me to explain my jobs and job duties starting from the present one. I listed the JDs as per my actual job profile (for present and past jobs).

He kept typing whatever I was saying and was also repeating the same for me.

He then read the lead statement slowly with the stress on below words in bold :

Financial and investment analysts collect and analyze financial information such as economic forecasts, trading volumes and the movement of capital, financial backgrounds of companies, historical performances and future trends of stocks, bonds and other investment instruments to provide financial and investment or financing advice for their company or their company's clients. Their studies and evaluations cover areas such as takeover bids, private placements, mergers or acquisitions.

VO: Do you think that you are doing any of the above duties?
Me: Yes, I am doing activities like financial forecasts, financial planning, cash flow planning and analysis, assessing financial background of the clients, risk management etc. but I am not into bonds/stocks, takeover/ merger kind of things as my employer's business area is different.

VO: Forget about financial analysis, are you involved anywhere in takeover bids, mergers and acquisitions ?
Me: No, because our company has never adopted a strategy to acquire or merge with any other company

VO : That's it. This kind of financial planning is done by a HOUSEWIFE too.(It was mentioned several times again in further discussions too)
Me: Sir, I am talking about my actual professional duties what I am doing for more than 10 years now.

VO : This NOC is for highly skilled people who decide at the top level on mergers, acquisitions, takeovers.
Me : Does it mean I have to be a VP or CEO to be able to apply under 1112

VO: That also doesn't mean that clerical people can apply under this NOC.
Me: I am in a middle management position and handling financial portfolio for my organisation.

VO : But you are not able to convince me that you are doing any of the duties mentioned in the lead statement of 1112. You have to meet both the lead statement as well as the main duties listed in the NOC.

I stressed to discuss the financial duties what I am doing but his focus was totally on investment analyst duties and the point that I do not meet lead statement criteria. As per him, this NOC is for guys like investment bankers and not just financial managers. So, it's a wrong NOC for me. I even asked so what is the correct NOC you would suggest but he said he cannot suggest on this.

I also tried to discuss that why my application was not refused at the CIO level only if it was the case. He said that initial acceptance doesn't mean that we have accepted your job duties. I maintained my stand throughout the interview that I am not an investment analyst but a financial analyst. But unfortunately, we couldn't come on a common ground.

I am not frustrated at all but I have only one grudge that why my duties were accepted by CIO and PER was issued if the VO is of the view that I am not doing even 1 duty from this NOC ? Another 7 months lost in this process (after I applied last year too) and I was waiting to hear this. Only GOD knows that why its good for me

Anyways, I am trying to get over this experience and focus now on other alternates in my career. If an MBA guy of more than 10 years experience and earning well here can be considered as doing the same financial duties of a housewife, then perhaps Canada is not meant for me.

I wish everyone all the best for their further process as I might not return back here frequently to share your joy with you. But I would always be available for any kind of help any of you guys want from me. (PM me for that)

Regards

Bro though you are a very positive person (+1 for that) but in case GOD forbid your application is if rejected, you file for an appeal through a good lawyer mentioning all what happened and the words/Attitude which was shown by VO, if I am not wrong the interviews are recorded and an appeal ensures a senior more experienced Visa officer's intervention who goes through the case!. With what you have told us, the case backfires on this inexperienced VO's face for dealing a potential case. I think You are still IN the game!

Hi,

My son who is a part of my application had applied to his University for a one year leave of absence, which was granted. This was done after I sent in my application for FSW. I have received PER so far. Should I send a letter advising of this or wait until I am contacted by the local VO. I would assume that the documents to my VO would be in-transit, if it would make sense to send this letter now.

Please give me you thoughts on this.

i don't think so, as this information is of no good to CIC or your local VO, you are the primary applicant therefore change of employment of any other status at your end makes a difference.

being the primary applicant you need to advise them of your financial status, job status, medical status, criminal record status or changes in family.

your son going to uni or not does not impact your application as he is the dependent, however medically or change in crimnal record of any family member can make a difference.

i dont think so... since it is not a logical date they would know that it a typing error and not a misstatement
