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!

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.

Hello all,

hope we get MR news today from NDVO.

Brother, there are two things in your query:
1. Not providing letter head
2. affidavit of experiences

For issue 1, simple cover letter should be good enough; if possible, get some e-mail communication that that letter head cannot be be used.

For issue 2, I am not sure, who will be the signatory in your case. Note that from the day I join this forum, I am highly discouraging self-attested job duties. So, in case, HR don't want to provide it, get it from your in plain paper (if letterhead cannot be used):
1. Department head
2. immediate supervisor
3. From some senior from your department who know your jobs
4. from colleagues who know your jobs
5. from senior of other division who know your jobs
6. from colleague of other division who know your jobs
Note that the lower option you choose, the less acceptable is your reference letter

Also add the business card of the signatory (specially for option 3 to 6), give promotion letter, increment letter, pay slips, appreciation letter, etc etc to make the case stronger. If the signatory want to make affidavit, no issue on this.

Thanks

Thanks Century for great explaination!!1

I want to ask about the affidavit of job duties. Do we need to dubmit separate affidavit for all experience where company has not provided on its letterhead? or only one affidavit will sufficient for various experiences?
