Hi whatisinthename,

Although there is nothing in the name, but everything is in an NOC's name. I just mean that your NOC might be filling fast, so the quickest route is one that of multi-tasking.

You need to

-get IELTS test result report (sooner the better)
-get your highest degree assessed, make arrangements to send asap, and get ECA report
-get documents like Work Experience (very critical) and birth, marriage certificates etc ready
-fill the forms carefully (shouldn't take much time, but keep doing and ask specifics here)
-see if have enough settlement funds, or make arrangement for the same

-getting Police certificate is not mandatory at initial stage, but if possible, request for it now too.

All these things are mentioned in the following application guide in gory details. For the rest and less-understood, come back here. We all are learning by sharing and experience.

Guide : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp
Forms : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp
ECA : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp
PCC : http://www.cic.gc.ca/englisH/information/security/police-cert/index.asp
Funds : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

Regards

PS: A law firm will also ask you to arrange all these documents, but will take care that the application is complete and error-free. It should be your choice depending on the time (and extra money) you have for them. Filling an application is not a complicated task, but one has to be fully aware of all the instructions (as in the links above). This forum, being a mix of people with varied experiences will always have an answer, or educated guess for any type of concern that you might have. On top of it, it makes the application procedure a fun-journey that you might remember forever. It is apparent when you see people who discussed their applications in the past, eventually landed in Canada, and are still here helping the newbies out.

+1 for your detailed answer in helping out a fellow forum member!

Brother,

Usually CIC (before PER) dont check for POF....But Local VO does (randomly)....

And they check POF as per current day currency conversion rate...Very logical...Lets say giving an example...


10,0000 BD taka = 8000 CAD

after devaluation of BD taka :

10, 000 BD Taka = 7000 CAD


But u will have to bring settlement fund for 8000 CAD for one person (as an example)....

For this case u will have to deplete the account with required local money on ur account....

will they ignore small fluctuations or want right upto mark figures...
say if about 100$ is short of amount mentioned by CIC...will it be considered?
Thanks for reply...

 

[om999]

Add some cash to your CC, it should work out.

Did you really replied to my question? or confused it with someone's else...

PCC is issued once you have cleared a police verification. Passport office has clear record now. For getting PCC for canada, just visit Passport sewa kendra and pay 500 rs, you will get it for Canada immediately on the spot.

I am travelling to Canada tonight. But the problem is Next appointment to get PCC for canada only in july. How Long will it take to get Indian PCC for canada when I apply from canada.

 

[Anil Ch]

Thank gaurav jaswal. What will be the procedure then. They will do physical verification at home & work place

 

[snowboy]

From where I need to apply pcc. For pcc whether the police verification will be done at home & work place. What is the procedure?

Hi Anil,

pasting my previous post on PCC. Hope it helps.

Trying to answer few questions that I have seen people asking about PCC in India

1. Where to Apply?

Apply for PCC at a near by PSK (Passport Seva Kendra). You need to fill the application online on passportindia portal and then take a print out of the application (don't need appointment for this) and reach the PSK at 8.30 am in the morning. You can walk in for PCC.

2. When will I get ?

If your passport was issued within the last year and if your address in passport is same as your residential address and if police verification was done at the time of issuing the passport (either before issuing or after issuing) you will get the PCC immediately (mostly in 2 or 3 hours and definitely within the same day)

3. What If am not residing at the address in my passport ?

If no Police Verification was done prior to this application on this address (regardless of the state you live in), PSK will initiate a Police verification request with your zone's police commissioner office and generally it will be done in 3 weeks time (at least in Chennai and Hyderabad). Someone from the Police Station would visit your house and ask for certain proof for residence like Voter Id, Bank Statement, Gas Connection receipts etc.. I have seen this generally varies from city to city. In Chennai they asked for all the documents that I listed above whereas in Hyd they just asked for Voter Id Card / Aadhar Card.

In this case, post this step, police will send a Clear report to PSK and after this, PSK will send a mail / SMS to you and will ask you to collect the PCC. you can then visit them with a copy of the acknowledgement which you got on the day of application and get the PCC.

4. How much does it cost.
INR 500 at the PSK

5. Can I use PCC taken for different country?
No. For every country you need to get a PCC separately. It is a letter that states that Government does not have any issues with you applying for that specific country for immigration.

 

[rohan85]

they are refusing "to whom so ever it may concern".
they want specific name or department along with the address.

You may write this:

'To The Officer,
Centralized Intake Office,
Citizenship and Immigration Canada,
Sydney, Nova Scotia,
Canada'

Can anyone please provide me affidavit format for Birth proof?
I do not have birth certificate, hence I am attaching my SSC certificate and a affidavit. Is any one received PER, having affidavit for birth proof? Please advice friends.

 

[rohan85]

True. Just sharing my experience, there are not many opportunities in Canada for IT folks compared to US.
I lived in US for almst 6 years and now moved to Canada due to family and I did face a lot of issues hunting a good IT job.
Once you land in Canada, don't expect job opportunities same as US.
Good luck!

Is the job market for IT really that slow? My folks who have been to Canada and worked in IT say that the job market is pretty good :-\

Sorry, but what exactly is your issue? I don't get it from what you wrote. So, you live in a country other than Philippines, but you should have chosen Manila as your VO?

Yes.

I found recently from CIC webpage that VO from the country I am living (South Korea) in has been moved to Malina.

I am planning to apply for FSW under NOC 2133. Self-calculated points are 67+ depending on what I get in my IELTS. I've a couple of questions.
1) The first step is to get the ECA done by WES. Will WES assess my credentials and send it directly to CIC or should I do it?
2) Booked my IELTS general next month (too bad they don't take IELTS academic). Should I send the original TRF to CIC or ask IELTS to send a report directly?
3) What else do I need before I can apply for FSW 2014? PCC? Medicals? Proof of Funds?
4) Do the work experience letters have to be current or just certified copies of the originals?
5) What is this PER thing I keep reading about? What happens once I lodge an application with CIC? When are the application fees deducted and how much?
6) What's the current processing time for NOC 2133 applicants?
7) If I get a PR how long will I have before I activate it?

Sorry for the long list of novice questions but I am bit confused about the whole process.

Longgggggg queryy

1) The first step is to get the ECA done by WES. Will WES assess my credentials and send it directly to CIC or should I do it?-----U will send u an original WES report (out of 2 given by WES to ur home).


2) Booked my IELTS general next month (too bad they don't take IELTS academic). Should I send the original TRF to CIC or ask IELTS to send a report directly?-----U should send the original copy.


3) What else do I need before I can apply for FSW 2014? PCC? Medicals? Proof of Funds?----Proof of fund is must with ur application ...PCC is optional....Medical will be requested on later stage.


4) Do the work experience letters have to be current or just certified copies of the originals? ----Copyyyy



5) What is this PER thing I keep reading about? What happens once I lodge an application with CIC? When are the application fees deducted and how much? ----Positive eligibility review---This ensure ur seat on the CAP and u will be assigned an app number


6) What's the current processing time for NOC 2133 applicants? ----Its not depending on NOC...Its the local visa office

7) If I get a PR how long will I have before I activate it? -*-------Usually Visa validity is given for one yr


Sorry for the long list of novice questions but I am bit confused about the whole process
