Hi Friends!

Please let me know how many points are allocated for Bachelors in Dental Sciences?


Thank you

If that degree is a requirement for getting a license to practice dentistry, you will get 23 points for it. Otherwise it is a bachelors and worth 21.

Check CIC's page on ECAs, because you may need a specialized organization to evaluate it.

I noticed in the spreadsheet that a lot of applicants dont go back and update their entries. They are starting charging May 13th applicants. So I am assuming everything prior to that should be charged by now.

Not true. In fact someone from the 8th was charged just a few days ago when we were already getting reports about 12th charges. Sometimes for unknown reasons there are delays on a few apps.

Hi ananjay! i have also a query about POF. i also have a property like a house name under my name but its still under houseloan. should it be included also in POF? and a bannk certificate less than the required amount of $14,800. would that be fine?

POF
-house title
-Bank cert worth $8,000

or should i have atleast the $14,800 required amount.

thank you so much.

You can't show property as a settlement fund.You can show your property as a assets..only liquid cash can be shown as a settlement fund like saving bNk Account, FDR etc...
You have to disclose your loan as a liability.. Pls don't misrepresent any information....

Pls visit cic website for settlement fund requirement

I am worried after reading this as I have also done the same wid my application, i was sure that my PGDM in finance would not be recognized by WES so i only claimed points till bachelors degree. I mentioned in my supplementary sheet (not in d cover letter) that I only want to claim points till bachelors as I am not sure if my PGDM is recognized. Bachelors degree WES ECA report was attached but I had also enclosed copies of educational certificates from PGDM to HSC. But if CIC is rejecting on this basis should I get my pgdm evaluated by WES now and send it to CIC separately. I have sent my application early july so might have some time before they open the package..plz suggest.

Don't worry. If you made it clear you are claiming points for your bachelors only, they won't reject you for not having ECA for other certificates. But you won't get points for them either, even if you could theoretically have got points for them.

Dear tknova,

I am 8th May applicant. I applied for PR with the help of consultant. I used DD as mode of payment. But I am unable to know whether my DD has been cashed or not.

Is there any out there by which I can verify the status of application? What are the chances that I am still in race?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dev

If you have a UCI you can check ECAS. If not, the only way is to wait for PER (hopefully) or you can send them an e-mail but the response time is 30-40 days.

Dear members,

I am disappointed with my IELTS speaking result. Got 5.5 against 6.

Pl suggest what should be done.
Will I be too late to apply under FSW, because the next available exam date is 20th Sep.
All other required documents are in place.
NOC applied :2133

Thanks in Advance.

 

[future_canadian]

i did enclose WES positive ECA report in original for my bachelors degree and mentioned that i only intend to claim points only till bachelors. I never mentioned to wes about my PGDM and nor did fill details about my PGDM. I had to mention PGDM in my CIC application as otherwise there would be gap plus i would be giving incorrect details to them. and i have enclosed copies of all my education certificates from PGDM to HSC. U think it will be ok or to be sure i send them my PGDM evaluated copy from WES which for sure will not be recognized by them.

You're fine.

@ BLUE JAY

You have 2 options for ECA

1. Medical ECA (must if u r applying for Doctor specific NOC), which is done by a professional body with stringent documentation requirements and having longer process i.e. around 3-4 months minimum. FOr further details

http://mcc.ca/repository/educational-credential-assessment/

2. Regular ECA (also acceptable if u r applying for any NOC other than Doctor specific) u have option of 2 ECA agencies (i don't think 3rd i.e. WES will evaluate it) the process will take 8-10 weeks.

If you go with option 1: ur degree will be assessed as "Professional" and you will get 23 points

Option 2: will get you 21 points

Trade off: Time vs points

I didn't know you could do option #2. Great information for the poster. +1!

Dear Friends & seniors,

Urgent suggestions needed.

My application was reached at CIC on 20th May 2014.
yesterday I found that there was date mistake in the employer reference letter. So, yesterday I sent reference letter again, by stating the reason why I am sending it again.

How they consider my application now, I will be fall under 20th May 2014 applicant or 14th Aug 2014 applicant (expected delivery date of my reference letter).

I am worried, please advise.

Regard,
Shaik

If CIC does match that new letter up with your original application, you will become a 14th Aug applicant.

CIC says

All prospective applicants to the FSWP should first determine whether they meet the new minimum language threshold: Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 in all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing).

Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/DEPARTMENT/media/backgrounders/2013/2013-04-18.asp
Link for conversion from CLB to Bands: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp

I am sorry but you will have to sit for a new IELTS test and get >=CLB 7 in all modules. This is a minimum requirement.

Regards

Dear friends,

I had a doubt, pls clarify.

I am spouse of PA. in POF we are able to show required funds from PA accounts itself (jointly in Salary-Savings and PPF A/c).

I have a home loan going on with a 20k emi. Do we necessarily need to show this!? It's not on PA name! Also we need not show statements of my account as we have required funds in PA account itself, so, pls advise!

Does showing a loan impact negatively on the application?

If you have a loan that you or your spouse are responsible for paying, you MUST disclose it as a liability. (You can also disclose the value of the home in your assets, if it belongs to you.)

The form requires you to disclose all assets and liabilities, not only show that you have sufficient settlement funds in an account. Your local VO may ask for updated information or contact the bank later. Do you want to take the risk that they find out you omitted information you were supposed to disclose? That will be an automatic rejection and ban from Canada for 2 years or longer.

Showing a loan does not normally negatively impact on your application. So long as you have the required settlement funds, in most cases you are ok. However, reviewers do have discretion to evaluate whether you can establish yourself economically in Canada and in VERY RARE cases applicants who make the pass mark have been rejected due to their financial situation. This type of case is called "negative substituted evaluation" and must be approved by additional CIC staff beyond the person who is reviewing your application. It's not something you should worry about for a routine home loan. Rejections for misrepresentation (such as not disclosing items the forms require you to disclose) are much more common--so play it safe.
