1) Problem with getting my bachelors evaluated
Well, my university back in India wouldn't send the transcripts directly to WES. Also it would involve a lot legwork, getting the documents first attested by Registrar, which seems to take almost a month. Not really convenient for me as I do not reside in India any more. On the other hand, Lancaster University, where I have my MSc degree from, has a straightforward process, taking much lesser time to have my degree documents sent to WES directly. I just have to make a request to them online.

Another point is that my chosen code is closely related to MSc than my Bachelors degree. However, I'm not sure what the idea behind getting ECA is - a) To get all of your degrees evaluated or just the highest/closely related ones ??

Anyway I came across this link on CIC website where they have detailed the process out. And somewhere down you will notice they have given this example

If Deng studied outside of Canada and obtained a foreign educational credential at the Master's level
Then he would submit proof of his completed foreign educational credential and an original ECA report indicating that it is equivalent to a completed Canadian educational credential at the Master's level or lower.

Check this www[dot]cic[dot]gc[dot]ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC[dot]asp

Still confused though...

2) Are you 100% sure? Since Jayesh Amin replied I would never get a refund

3) I'm in Dubai, UAE and there is no visa processing offices here. Does that mean I can apply to Morocco since it takes just 3 months to process, have a look here.. www[dot]cic[dot]gc[dot]ca/english/information/times/perm/skilled-fed[dot]asp

To be more clear You will not get refund from WES for ECA but you will surely get refund for your application to canada from CIC.

Dear Friends,

Question:1
I have letter from employer in the month of July 2013 which is as per the structure mentioned in FSW guidelines. The only problem is that the issuer person resigned last month. I am afraid what kind of way out i should adopt. Do i need to put note in my cover letter and need to provide another contact detail of the employer contact person? As issuing another letter is as big as asking kidney from someone in my company .


Question: 2
i have received my bank balance certificate dated 28 march 2014. I am planning to send my application by mid May. Will it be ok to send march end month bank certificate ? :-[

Question: 3
i have sent my application to nova scotia NSNP but no email from other end. Do i need to mentioned the same in my cover letter ?


pl help guys.

I dont know if you can use a old bank certificate. It will be safer to be within 3 days of your posting the application... Some contries reject statements older then 3 4 days, not mentioned anywhere for Cananda. But it will be safer to have statement as near as possible.

Friends..

I have sent the package.. But just wanted to know one thing..

I was not able to keep all docs in 9 * 12 envelop (specified by cic), so i have used somewhat larger envelop.

I hope it will not create any problem. are they that much rigid in envelop size specifications???

It will reach there on 8th May. fingers crossed..

Someone kindly resolve my below 2 queries:-

1) My passport and all other documents only have 'First Name' and no 'Last Name' but few of my reference letters have 'Last Name' also. Should I need to mention it in Generic Form for field 'Known by other name'?
And should I also need to provide some affidavit to support it?

2) cic checklist says that you should have roles and responsibilities of each position title. The problem here is that my designation changes due to some alignment but roles and responsibilities does not and the letter that I have has the last designation only what can be done here?

Yes, your money will be refunded if your application gets there after the cap is reached. My Canadian Dollar draft was returned together with my application last year after the cap was reached. You can repurchase your draft at your bank. If you are using your credit card, it won't be charged.

How does showing proof-of-funds work?

Do I have make sure the required amount CAD$12,000 are maintained in my account over a period of time, say 3 months or 6 months? Because my account doesn't have that much money, however it can be inflated to reflect that amount. Can I show show bank one month statement that would clearly show deposits made to reach the CAD$12,000 or they will reject my application?

Well from what I understand even a bank account certificate showing sufficient funds is acceptable to the CIC. But here the experts recommend sending a bank statement of 3 or 6 months. In short, account certificate is acceptable but account statement of 3 or 6 months is better.

@ binuky why is ur profile showing NOC code 7252 when u filed for 1112. Just asking out of curiosity.

my spouse is the primary applicant

 

[binuky]

I too agree to what you said... Its not the date when you send its the date they received.... Which is on or after 1st May... Its perfect till the time file reached CIC on or after 1st May canadian time... so not to worry friend...

you are right

 

[fresher_2013]

Last year the spreadsheet was 20% accurate.
I can say that as when the spreadsheet had reached 60 applications (as per spreadsheet), the cap of 300 was full.

This was true for NOC 1112. Can others on the forum from last year comment on their experience about the spreadsheet accuracy.

I also agree that there are a number of people on this forum, who do not include the data in the spread sheet. Let's contribute max for the benefit of the members in general.

I will add mine soon....good luck to All...
