FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[namaste]

Hi,

This is my first post in this forum.

Application Received Date: 18th Aug
NOC: 2171

I am currently working in Canada, and hence have a UCI.
Up until Dec 2nd, ecas was unable to find me. On Dec 3rd, I saw my first ecas line "Your application for PR has been received on 18th August".
ECAS Status is "IN PROCESS"

I have 1 week for my current WP to expire and have been looking forward to my PER, so I could apply for a Bridge Open WP.


Qn1: Have any 18th Aug applicants reported having received PER?
Qn2: Can an IN PROCESS status imply that a PER is on the way?
Qn3: Has anyone here applied for a BOWP? If yes, how many days did it take for the application to be approved?

I am hoping that I get the BOWP before the holidays, so I can leave Canada in time to spend Christmas with my wife and kid.

Prayers for one and all - may all your Canadian dreams come true.

In process means PER is on its way soon. I don't know much about BOWP but my understanding is that, in order to apply for it, you need to have a valid work permit (that is it should not have expired) at the time you apply for it. So, your timeline looks really tight if that's the case. Go through this link to learn about this process:

No frn! Write down if u r a member of professional organization volunteer or paid, like teachers association, that does not work fr political achievement, but on enhencing professionalism.

You know I was dubious about the issue because every company has its structure, though could be seen as an organization. Thank you very much for your answer. (+1)

I believe the latest per received is of august 16, one of my physiotherapist frn got it. If anybody knows later than that date?

16th and 17th August were weekend. The next PER after 15th is 18th

My agent advised us that only main applcant should submit ..??? So does this mean that file wont go through completeness check .? Feeling tensed now . I am october applicant and our completeness check would be finished already.

Did you fill out the form 5562E? This is the travel information form. It has separate questions for you and your spouse's travel history. Both should be filled out.

Yes we filled out a seperate travel history form but then that stupid agent said its just for the main applicant . Will this lead to a rejection or will they give us a chance ?

Hey ratingcrady,

Let me disagree with you on a couple of points:

1. I always ask members to update the SS, and I'll keep doing it. There are a lot of old entries on the SS, and a lot of members don't update their info. Others just mention "admin, please update the SS", as if the admins had all the time in the world to read the thread and do it.
We all benefit from the SS and it a constant reminder is good.

2. Although I don't like distrusting people, there has been several fake posts, and even several fake SS entries. Charges way ahead of what they should have been, charges several days after a NOC is capped to give others hope.. I don't get why somebody would do it, but I've seen it happen a few times. So a little distrust is necessary unfortunately.

6. Number 6 burns me up too! I've seen several Brazilians do it and post things in Portuguese! Even if the contents are harmless, it is still unrespectful to the others. Please only post contents in English.

8. While I agree with you that this is not the place for EE, a lot of us won't get PER before the first draw of EE (myself included), so I think it's natural a lot of us are interested. This thread is where most of things are happening on this forum, so it's natural it draws a lot of attention. So I partially agree with you on this one .

Completely agree with you.

Thank you namaste! My situation is mighty tight.
My employer has applied for WP extension in late October as well. But that seems to be progressing at a snail's pace now.

 

[Cool Canada]

any one knows what is the latest dd cc charge date?

Depends how you filled out the part for your spouse. If you left it empty then it might be considered incomplete. If you wrote N/A, then it won't be incomplete. BUT, if you wrote N/A and the spouse did have travel history, then it would be misrepresentation. In this case, the form should be updated and sent to CIC.

Also, I don't understand why your agent would tell you it's not required for the spouse when there is a question specifically for your spouse in the form. If it was not required, why would they ask for it? Just so you are clear, spouse does not need to fill out a separate form. It is just one form for the principal applicant who needs to fill out travel history for both.

If that's the case, then you can only apply for your BOWP when your renewed work permit is within 4 months of expiration.

 

[libraprateek]

Is completeness check for october applicants completed..??
If yes, when to expect CC charging?
I am a 20th october applicant

Do you have a copy of the form with you? If so, can you check how you filled it?

hey,

first point was basically members asking to update ss but instead i wrote something else. Apologies. Intent is that every1 should update Ss on their own
