[obryan20]

As per Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, golden PER email, golden PER email were out thou golden PER email ?

I doth refreshed my email all the time and still no PeR

Mikey, you were waxing lyrically here though man. Dwl.

 

[FaithNHope]

The sequence is:
Fee charge --> PER-->AOR --> medical request --> passport request for visa

AOR and everything afterwards takes place in the local visa office.

where does the interview fit in this process? is request for MR & PCC the last step for issuing PR (assuming the test results and PCC are fine)

Re: Singapore PCC

For all Singapore candidate, those who seek PCC / COC from Singapore, I have a info to share with you;

I have applied for COC on 15/09/2014 , even I don't get any requisition from CIC or from local VO! As per the CIC, PCC guidelines for Singapore we must required a requisition plus a COC appeal form from the respective embassy.

According to my experience, you can download the form their website and fill it before you go with relavant documents what they required but I dont have any requistion, instead I have submitted the PER email plus document check list where it clearly mentioned the required PCC from the stay after 18 years of your age.

I went down to COC Office located at Block D Police Cantonment Complex, #02-07/08, 391 New Bridge Road, Singapore 088762 around morning 11:00 with my family ( wife & kid) and took Que number. But I have noticed that same application form you can get it from there, as they diffrentiated the application form between Citizen and Non - citizen and you can find an additional form of "APPEAL" which you won't get it from Online. You have to fill it and submit along with other documents.

Upon on my turn I have submitted the documents to officer, he have reviewed my application and asked how long you staying in Singapore? I said going to be Five years and then he asked me can you tell me your and wife FIN number and he do some preliminary screening from the computer database. Then asked me how you want to pay, by CASH, NETS, VISA/MASTER? I said Master, S$ 55.00 per applicant and total of S$ 110.00 for both of us.

He told me the processing time is 15 working days (10 days in Website) and I can do COC self collection on the 15th day and he written on behind of the payment slip and ask me to wait for Finger print and I have waited for 20 minutes and they have taken almost 8 -10 different sort of finger prints (Both Right & Left)

I was really in dilemma, whether they will accept my application without any PCC requisition. I believe the requisition stated in CIC Wwebistite basically for Singapore citizen or PR, and moreover they send COC directly to CIC /VO for Citizen / PR (Only my perspective)

Best Regards

Nair

Thanks man....Cheers

My application was submitted to cic on September 02, 2014. I have applied under FSW category, NOC - 2133. Is there any possibility that my card gets charged for the fee with in a month's time? I have heard from some one in Canada, personally known to me, who told me that his card got charged in 15 days after he had applied online. I dont know how true is that..... is it really possible?

 

[Kaneddarescueme]

Hello All,

I email for status inquiry to CIC and confirmation on RPRF received, but they said they are still assessing my file. Can someone let me know what kind of assessment take place after submitting Medical and RPRF both? As per my knowledge JOB assessment take place before medical.

Please assist.

Darsh

After you have sent Medicals, The RMO (Regional Medical Office) will assess your results and determine if any further tests are required. You should have a "Medicals Received" update in your ecas after this step.

Simultaneously, you would now be placed in background clearance, i.e. they check against your name if you are wanted for any crime internationally or indulged in anything that can pose a danger to Canadian security. This check is run on some international crime database, I think.

I have a firm belief you have will cross this hurdle for sure

Cheers!

Seven Ways To Make Yourself More Employable In Canada

Source: http://www.cicnews.com/2014/09/ways-employable-canada-093855.html

Although the current Federal Skilled Worker Program allows candidates to make a Canadian permanent resident application without a job offer, obtaining a valid job offer in advance is an advantage for many people hoping to move to Canada.
With this in mind, it is beneficial to maximise your chances of finding employment in Canada. Success depends on your ability to discover what Canadian employers are looking for and reveal to them that you have the required skills, knowledge, and experience. Here is a list of seven ways you can make yourself more employable in Canada.

1. Build your Canadian resume
An effective resume is essentially a marketing document in which you are the product. It is your chance to make a strong first impression and show your potential value to an employer. Employers across Canada are accustomed to seeing personal information and work background being presented in a particular way, so it's important to format your resume in the Canadian style. If you cannot represent your skills in a way that employers expect, they are unlikely to believe that you have the ability to adapt to life in Canada. To achieve success, start building your Canadian resume today.
2. Update your professional social networking presence

If you are conducting your job search remotely rather than on the ground in Canada, it becomes more important to build and maintain your online presence. Professional social networking sites allow you to leverage common connections, connect with recruiters, and discuss issues with members of your growing network and in industry groups. Networking is a time-honoured method of communicating with and learning from other people in your field, and modern technology allows you to network remotely. This is another opportunity to make a strong first impression, so take it. Visit CanadaVisa on LinkedIn and learn more about this online networking tool.

3. Tailor applications to job positions
This is vital. Sending 20 identical applications for 20 different positions is not good practice, as employers can see that you didn't spend much time thinking about and working on your application. If this is how you are conducting your job search, it is likely to fail. It is far more beneficial to send fewer applications and spend a bit more time researching each position and making alterations to your resume and cover letter accordingly. Employers will appreciate the effort you have put in to make yourself stand out from the crowd, and therefore will be more likely to respond positively to your application. The CanadaVisa job search tool allows you to search for positions by location and occupation.

4. Know where the jobs are in your occupation
Knowledge is power. You might be an award-winning biologist or highly-skilled engineer with all the skills and experience possible, but knowing where those jobs are in Canada, and why those jobs are in those places, is background information that you can't afford to do without. For the biologist, does the region he or she wishes to move to have the kind of laboratories or research centres needed? For the engineer, are there major infrastructure projects in place or being planned? Are there regular networking events in your job field? What is the pay scale? What are the local and regional employment rates? Getting answers to these questions will allow you to make more targeted job applications, as well as give you a better idea of where in Canada your skills are most needed. See the CanadaVisa occupation profiles page for more information on your occupation.

5. Get accredited
Some occupations, such as nursing, teaching and certain trades, require converting your accreditations to Canadian equivalents and/or taking part in further training to gain necessary accreditation for working in Canada. You can work on getting this accreditation before you move to Canada, which will show employers that you are serious about moving and prepare you for the Canadian market.

6. Work on your language skills
If English is not your first language and you are moving to part of Canada except Quebec, you should make an increased and sustained effort to improve your English skills. Candidates wishing to work in Quebec should make an effort to improve their French skills. Clear communication is essential for any successful business.
Furthermore, if you are trying to immigrate to Canada under any of the permanent residency programs, you will need to pass an examination in either English or French.

7. Practice your interview techniques
In an increasingly globalised world, more and more employers are interviewing potential employees on the telephone or by Skype. This means that you could be asked to conduct an interview from outside Canada. Getting an interview simply means that you have provided yourself a platform to further demonstrate your suitability for the role. The hard work starts here, and confidence is key. Practice speaking out loud in front of friends, as this will allow you to become comfortable with the ideas you are presenting. More importantly, do some research on the company that has asked you to interview for a position. Moreover, arrange a short list of questions of your own that you can ask employers during an interview. Ensure that you come across as an inquisitive person with a sincere interest in how the company conducts its affairs. The Government of Canada supplies some useful resources on preparing for a job interview.
“Above all, maintaining a positive attitude throughout the job hunting process is key, as it is for the immigration process. It is natural to become frustrated if you are not getting immediate results, but finding a job is a continuous learning cycle,” says Attorney David Cohen. “For potential candidates for the Federal Skilled Worker Program, which remains open across 50 skilled occupations, making yourself more employable in Canada means they can land in Canada and hit the ground running.”
