Hi Future Canadian,

My application on 2171 reached CIC on 5th August ( detail in the SS). Based on your prediction and estimation, am I still in the cap?

My predictions were:
1112: 700, real number 702
2174: 800, real number 778

So I wasn't far off.

2132, 2171 and 2173 are in the danger zone. Anyone in these NOCs who hasn't submitted, hurry up. Everyone else has time.

Hi guys,

My CC got charged today! ;D

NOC: 1123
App received: June 11
CC charged: September 30

What is a next step after PER?

How do I edit the spreadsheet? I didn't save my original link...

Thanks to everyone for help, support and continuous posts. I just have to tell you guys that Canada is awesome as I'm already here on a work visa but on Sunday my very expensive bike tire got stolen of my bike when I went to McDonalds for 5 minutes. It was very upsetting and don't expect this country to be perfect. It is great but still be cautious. This news that I got today totally makes up for it though.

Good luck to everyone!

Congratulation brother.

+1 for updating

Just sharing my experience -

App recd May 29
DD Sep 16 (cleared at overseas bank - Sep 22).
PER: Sep 30

Job letters -

Submitted 1 recent job ref letter with a 1 page bulleted list of job duties with my real experience but used keywords from the particular HRSDC job description.

Supplemented with job letters (but w/o detailed duties) for my past work exp.: Wherever applicable and wherever available, submitted offer letters+resignation letters+reference letters+last 2/3 payslips. For those, where I did not have a job duties letter, I got a self- affidavit / statutory declaration of job duties. These were ONLY used to supplement and reinforce the actual documentation. I submitted other documentation as well (for example, an extract from a company annual report that had my picture, name and title; an extract from a government document I had signed as a representative of the company that had my name and title, a letter of commendation, document showing my name and title participating in an industry conference). The key is to submit official documentation and supplement and reinforce it as much as possible. There is nothing called enough documentation and for those who have more than 5 years experience you got to be creative.

PCC: not submitted (no explanation letter attached)

Application Form:
Filled up the application forms using a lot of common sense

Spouse and I independently read the instructions (APPLICATION GUIDE) and the document checklist up and down. Noted our common understanding and went back to the guide and forum to confirm our understating. We used multiple sources to make sure what we have to do, but in the end relied on our judgement.

You have to be careful using the forum because many, especially the "newcomers" provide outright wrong information and some are downright arrogant. You should rely on the "old timers" and especially the posts from the early days - they contain a wealth of good and reliable information.

Memorised and created an excel with what is required and what we can provide and what was finally attached.

Spouse and I cross-checked independently:
a.documents required and attached and did so several times over a few days.
b. signatures
c. what finally went inside the courier package

We did not provide any explanation letters, cover letters or other prose. Just signed forms and documents.

Hope this was helpful.

Hi,

I made sure that at least 75% of the duties listed in NOC fitted my job description. You want to word it as close to the NOC but not copy and paste from it and stay true. What you have looks good to me but make sure covers as many NOC duties as possible. those are my 2 cents

Seniors!!!! Please help. I am reposting since there was no reply to my earlier post and I need to decide pretty soon under which NOC to apply.

I was reading through some of the very early posts on this thread regarding multiple NOC's and some of the folks had mentioned that having job duties matching to 2 NOC's in the employment letter could lead to rejection.
My situation is that my duties match with 2171 and 2281 since as part of my job I need to interact with client teams on a daily basis and also perform data backup, recovery and mangement of backup application software so my job duties would inherently match both NOC's.
So if someone with previous experience or similar situation, can please let me know if they had any issue applying under 2 NOC's ?

Also, can someone from the IT field confirm if Data Administrator and Database Analyst under 2172 are totally different job categories? I am asking since Data Administrator duties that are mentioned on the site relate to the data backup, recovery, and overall data administration which I believe would match with someone doing data backup/recovery administration.
The Database Analyst on the other hand lists totally different duties so I am a bit confused regarding this 2172 NOC.
