Hii

Anyone sent their package through DHL? If you did, where you able to track it until it reached CIC? Im reading on the forums that dhl doe not directly deliver to Sydney.
Any one with a similar experience,please advise

Thanks

At the DHL invoice, you must find a tracking number. Go to the website of DHL, then go to Tracking, input your tracking number, and you will find the tracking details.

FSWP 2013 => Program started - 04 May, 2013, My App submitted - 26 June, 2013, Missed the caps by a big margin. Disappointed like hell.
FSWP 2014 => This time i am ready. Be smart but not over-smart. Wait till 01 May, maybe the forms get changed for 2014. Also, change the NOC from 2174 to 2173. Most would apply with the same old forms and NOC. But NOC 2173 is new. Quota would be open for late.
01 May, 2014 - Program started
01 May, 2014 - App completed. But could not post (Sunday!)
02 May, 2014 - Prepared to post the app. But instant plan made for a 1000 km bike trip to Ooty at 5 am in morning. Courierd app from Mysore (takes 5 days, app goes to Bangalore first) on way, instead of Bangalore
02 May, 2014 - App posted to CIC.
07 May, 2014, 01:57 p.m. - App delivered to CIC, received by Mike.
20 May, 2014 - The black news comes. The bank(ICICI) replaced all the Credit cards due to some RBI guidelines. The card whose information was given on form will now be cancelled by 20 June, 2014 (30 days). Card Cancelled = Payment rejected = another year wasted (more importantly the last FSWP).

I joined this forum last year just with an intention to ask a couple of doubts. I know most of the stuff and hence I do not visit this forum often. But all this time, it has been overwhelming to see the support.

I still have a question though. Do they evaluate at an upper level before charging the money or it is done after the processing only ?

NIKONIKO has a very valid point! Just because something incorrect worked one time, does not by any means imply it is the way to go; or it might even work next time. Instructions are given to be followed. People who don't follow it, run the risk. As simple as that!

We are here to guide / help others, but certainly not at the cost of giving wrong hopes. Sometimes it is better to be direct, and call a spade a spade. Cheers!

The person in question submitted a notarized copy of translation. Whats your take? I think it should be fine.

Thanks century, i know that but some people are saying that dhl does not deliver directly to NS , they handed to 3rd party Loomis express, and this company delivers to cic, so im afraid to loose track of my package once its with the 3rd party.

Any idea about this?

Hi
I sent my application through DHL on 6th June. From 10th June the status is Forwarded for delivery. I called DHL and it says beyond that we do not have any tracking as it has been handed over to third party ? Anybody had a same experience ?
Second i can see other fellows are writing their package has been received and then a by a person name ? How did they get it , Is it through Courier tracking or got any confirmation mail

Thanks

I am facing same problem. Sent my application by DHL on 10th Jun. It is showing "Departed Facility in ONTARIO SERVICE AREA - CANADA". May be DHL process become slow after that stage. I even called and got the same response to wait till Monday.

Congratulation.

CIC charge after checking completed application: means you supplied all documents and forms and properly filled up. See section 8.1 at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op06c-eng.pdf .

Then there will be assessment against ministerial instruction. See section 9.

Hello, everyone. I am a Ukrainian citizen who have lived in US for the last 19 years as an immigrant (immigrated with my parents as a minor). I have been an entrepreneur my whole life and never went to college to get a degree. I have reached my success in business working with Best Buy (purchasing their store returns, refurbishing them and re-selling them). I have since moved back to Ukraine and married a Russian girl. Since all the turmoil started in Ukraine, I am now looking to immigrate to another country (always loved Canada with over 100 visits there) but after checking my eligibility, the Canadian immigration site says I am not eligible. I answered the questions honestly, including no college degree and no current job offer in Canada. Which of those two affected my application? Or is it the fact that I have a US Green Card, and have Ukrainian citizenship? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

It is unfortunate that Canada no longer considers a refugee status for couples like me and my wife who are hated in my country for marrying a Russian girl, and in her country because I am Ukrainian...

Regards,
Max.

If your self-employment or entrepreneurial career includes experience under one of the elgiible NOCs and you meet the other minimum requirements you can still apply under FSW. You may be eligible to apply under other programs.

What are the steps after PER?
A. The first thing that will happen after your PER is that CIO will transfer your electronic file and paper based file to your designated Visa Office mentioned in the IMM 0008 Generic Form. The Visa Office may or may not inform you about this activity, for example, London Visa Office will not inform about this activity, while Beijing or New Delhi may send Acknowledgement. At this stage, your ecas status will remain “In Process”.

After the file has been transferred, it waits in the queue to be reviewed by Visa Officer. A Visa Officer will review your file and will determine the eligibility of your application for further processing. IF the visa officer decides that everything that you have provided is genuine and inline with what is required, he/she will put your file in actual “process”. You will see a new line added in your ecas as “We have started processing your application on mm-dd-yyyy”. Your status will remain “In Process”. The worse scenario is that Visa Officer will overrule the previous PER decision and may reject the application before starting the process, in this case, you will see “Decision Made” in your ecas. *For FSWP 2013, we are hoping that this may not happen as everything has already been screened at CIO.

From here on, everything will be verified and cross-referenced. This includes and not limited to your experience letters, salary stubs, visiting cards, employment offices, relative documents [if applicable], passport verification, IELTS verification, national identity cards verification [if applicable], your educational documents, marksheets, your background declaration, security checks and so on. They may or not may not visit, call or email your current / previous employers. It’s totally up to them.

At this stage, the visa officer MAY call for a face to face interview at your local visa office. In case of remote visa office, the RVO will inform you about the due date and time and the location. Visa officer will clearly mention in the email about the reason of the interview so that you can gather required documents to back your original case. You will not be informed about the outcome of the interview on the spot but the next step will let you know how well you performed. NOTE: Visa Officer will not judge your English Language ability in the interview.

IF everything goes well, you will receive a Medical Call. IF an interview goes well and you managed to satisfy the visa officer, you will get the same result. At this stage, your ecas will still read “In Process”.

IN CASE something goes wrong with or without interview, you will get “Decision Made” at your ECAS which means youre no more eligible for PR processing and you will get a rejection with a letter mentioning the reasons.

After you receive Medical Call, you will have to undergo Medical Examination at your local DMP [Find your local DMP HERE]. You and your dependents have to satisfy the visa officer that you are medically fit to be admissible to Canada. Once your results have been received by the Visa Office, your ecas will read, “We have received your medical results on mm-dd-yyyy” and the status will remain “In Process”.

You or one of your dependent may get a re-medical exam if there’s a doubt about something that they think need to be reverified.

The next step would be [and not limited to] Passport Request, any additional or updated documents, new Police Clearance Certificate etc and Right of Permanent Resident fee [RPRF] which is $490 for each Principal Applicant and Spouse [if applicable]. You do not have to pay RPRF for your children.

Once everything is done and your payment cashed, your status will be changed to “Decision Made” and the address will be updated with a Canadian address & you will receive your Passports & Confirmation of Permanent Residence [COPR].

Hi Folks,
I have a question in General Application. I have put Wife and Child as dependents. For Kid I have selected Type A Dependent . For Wife what should I select ?
Appreciate your response .

Spouses don't have a "dependant type." Just leave it.

Hey Ashif,

I have lived at my native place since my birth. However since last 2 years i have been living in different cities because of my job.

My job location keeps on changing. Can I give my native place address in residential address in generic form IMM008?

Thanks

No, you have to list all the addresses where you have lived. If you are really "homeless" in the sense that you have to move so often you don't even have a postal address anywhere else but your native place, you should at least explain this.
