UPS is fastest to CIO. None of them are even close when delivering it to Sydney.

To all CPC-Ottawa applicants from USA:
Use DHL online account. Its 35$ for next day delivery. The cheapest and best option. I have used twice already for sending fbi report and other docs.

@ Amitraj1978

Congratulations! +1 for the update

If i remember correctly, the earlier (reversed) reason for rejection was mistake on CIC behalf as they allocated u 20 instead of 21 language points.

Kindly confirm, if they sent it back (or mentioned that ur app has been returned)? As they usually return it, seemingly now they will use the file in their record for processing ur app.

hi shah,

yes its was 21 points in ielts test but they calculated 20 points.i send them ielts test copy,rejection letter and recalculation table through courier....
it reaches cic on 21 aug 14 and today i got email from same cic officer abt PER(disregard earlier email)..

no they didnt return anything(they clealry mention that all documents they will keep in their record and fees also be a part of their process)

now with this PER email i got recipt of payment of 550C$ also.

That is sweet. Happy for you.

I assume CIC just reverted back to your original application and gave you PER based on the clarification letter you sent. Your second application (if you sent that too) was not needed in this case though.

If they made an error like that, they had to rectify it. Especially when they reject certain applications on minor errors.

I remember you saying it multiple times that 'all is lost now'. This serves as a motivation and lesson for all of us that keeping clam, and trying a little harder can make all the difference.

Regards

You role looks more of a Tester than Business Analyst. and first two lines are copied from 2171 job duties it seems.

Yes you are correct, i work as a quality assurance analyst that come under 2171 (information system analyst)

and yes 1st two lines are copied from it.

Where i can get the correct one and what should i include in my duties so that application is not returned again..

Wow!! Congrats bro, this shows if you never lose hope and never give up on your dreams, they do come true!! Congrats again!!

 

[hellen119119]

LOL - I think they got it now. Plus you will be fine if you are already fine in Belgium ;D

I am tracking the 2013 applications processed in Paris office. It seems Paris does not send RB at all.
All the other 4 applications received visa between 3 and 4.5 months after PER, but only one is still suspending where interview was marked waived. I am not sure if the guy just forgot updating or turned out really a bad luck guy. Hope I am in the 80%

One guy marked CORP 11/26/2013 in the column of VISA , what means CORP?

Thx!
