FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[FutureImmi]

Hello,
I am applying for immigration under The Federal Skilled Workers Program and there are a few document issues I am worried about. Kindly, if possible, please clarify them up for me. I am from India and my questions pertain primarily to Indian document requirements.
1)In the generic application form(IMM0008ENU_2D) , it asks for national identity document. is it important to provide one. Can driving License be used as one if it has a slight error in name spelling. Can the form be filled without filling the NID column.
2) In additional family information form (IMM5406E), it asks for family information. Does one also have to enter information of family members not alive. My father is not alive, so I was wondering if his information is to be filled and how to fill his marital status information.
3)In India, we usually have no birth certificate, but our 10th standard certificate (matriculation) counts as date of birth record. Is it enough to submit that or should any additional document be submitted( like an affidavit) if birth certificate is not available.
4) How can one show proof of relationship of maternal uncle. My mom has her passport with fathers name and matriculation certificate. Will it suffice or do i also need something else.

I know it is a long message, but I hope i get replies and thanks in advance.

1. If you dont have, then dont provide one. It is not compulsory.
2. Yes, all the family members info shall be provided. You can type in status as Not Applicable. There is anothe form that asks for your parents information and date of death, if applicable.
3. You can easily get your birth certificate from local municipal office, depending on where you are from.
4. Provide whatever documents you can arrange for. your mom's passport, your uncles passport showing their parents names, any old ration card

In any case, I shall get the money back when I leave the job in India and move to Canada.

Asking 3rd time.

Deear Brother,

1. Yes ...

CIC has sent a reply to one of the returning applicant:

"We do accept Secondary school records that contain the following :

Applicant's Name
Date of Birth
Name of Parent/Parents

If you are not able to provide a Birth certificate with all 3 criteria, we require an affidavit stating all of this information or that a Birth certificate cannot be attained."

So 10th standard school certificate or an affidavit containing applicants name, date of birth and Parent/Parents name should be fine in lieu of a birth certificate. Also you must give reason in a cover letter why you were not able to provide birth certificate and that you are providing 10th standard school certificate / affidavit in lieu of birth certificate.


2. Please check below:

"Indian PCC:

@ Sinestra and Bharat - PCCs are provided by PSKs (under Ministry of External Affairs) not Police stations. I was of your thinking before actually going through the process which is why I asked 2 questions to an authorized person in PSK, ND. Read Q/A in the last.

I can tell you of the story in Delhi PSK; not sure if same applies to Mumbai and Gujarat.
An additional commissioner sits in the PSK who stamps and provides the PCC after doing some techno-geeky on a computer. Basically, from what I understand, he accesses the central repository of the police records and upon finding no adverse information provides the applicant with two stamped PCCs. The fee was also nominal; around INR 500 per applicant.

When I was about to leave the PSK, the window person on the exit stopped me and asked me for feedback on the service quality and provided me a feedback form. Of course, the experience was awesome and process quick. This is where I asked the fellow 2 questions, to which he replied very diligently.

Q1) Why was I given two PCCs?
A1) It is a standard procedure. We understand you need to submit one for visa purpose, so the other one you can keep for yourself.

Q2) I thought I would have to go to Police station for PCC after this stage, but I didn't?
A2) If there is any adverse information found against a personnel or some clarification required, the addl. commissioner will transfer your request to the Police station in your area. Then the person will need to visit the police station to get the things sorted out first. Upon sorting out, SHO will issue a letter of No Objection and after that you'll get the PCC from PSK. This process will take long time.

Q3) Anything else here?
A3) Nothing. You are done here.

Same thing must have happened with my wife but I don't know (neither did I bother to ask) because she applied 2 weeks after me and she got it in 2 hrs. Faster than mine. (ladies do have some advantages, after all!)

Following is the extract from my PCC;
"It is certified that there is no adverse information against Mr.XXX S/o Mr XXX, holder of Indian Passport No xxxxx, issued at xxxx, on dd/mm/yyyy which would render him or her ineligible for grant of travel facilities including visa for CANADA."

Follow this.
http://passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/locatePSK/locatePFC

a) Locate your respective PSKs. (Ahmedabad, Mumbai, etc)
b) Register for an account.
c) Login and apply for PCC. Do not forget to go through the 'Document Advisory'.
d) No need of appointment for PCC.
e) Go stand in the Queue before the PSK opens or u'll be delayed for the day.

Hope this helps."

Hi Dear Fellow Members,
I need your guidance.
I made a mistake in background declaration form. My application for PR (FSW) in 2013 was refused because I could not score 67 pass marks. I have applied again this year. In background declaration form I could not notice in question no 6 they ask about the refusal of previous PR application. I answered no. In actual I should answer yes. I have provided my UCI number in the generic form. But still I am worried.
Is there any solution for this problem. Kindly help me. Thanks

You will be fine......no issue.
Cheers

I have a query on which request all to advise. I have exactly 11 months and 15 days experience in Canada in a skilled NOC. Should I tick 'Yes' on question in Schedule-3 which asks whether a candidate has minimum 1 year skilled experience in Canada.

It is about 10 points which this question gives. The concern here is, whether 11.5 months be accepted as close to 1 year and hence points awarded. Pls. guide / share experiences.

Dear Buddy,

Please wait for more 15 days.....Bcoz this is the min requirement to have one yr work exp....Complete it first...
