What if it was deemed incomplete. i have not received my documents till now. is it mandatory to write uci number?

No it is not mandatory, when officer gonna to issue new UCI, he will find you UCI and he will write it manually in its field. BTW, I prefer to add clarification letter explaining why you didn't write your UCI and left it blank

Thank You for the assistance. It is much appreciated. I will fill in the form accordingly.

Hi Faithful100,

SMALL CORRECTION

please look out for the underlined "Country of Nationality" in your husband's details below

I am sorry to say that this is very weird. Without legal status, How can he run his own business in the country other than his nationality? Anyways, I don't want probe this further and I make an assumption that your husband on some 'X' visa in SouthAfrica. That present 'X' visa is issued on some "XXXX" date and expiring on some XXX-XX-XX" date and Since he is doing this own bussiness, I presume, he is not on the payrolls of any company as such, Which makes your husband is not working in Southafrica (Ofcourse your husband work-ex does not matter as you are the principal applicant.

Also, i am assuming your husband is in south-africa for more than a year.

So, This is what you need to do for husband's details when filling up the form.

On the IMM008 Forms, where you need to declare your husband's(dependent) "country of residence" details Start Date and End Date:
Fill Start Date as the date of the Work Permit/Bussiness Permit that had gotten when he entered South-Africa for the first time.
Fill End date as the date of the expiry of current legal status(that he is currently on Visa 'X' assumption above.
In the type of visa in the drop down, you need to mention "Other"

OK, now the National Identification Field. In your case, Your husband has to provide the Identification from his country of NATIONALITY, like National ID, SSN, SIN, Driving license etc..In this field DO NOT put your husband's current Visa "X" details.

Expiry date of National Identification Field: Keep the expiry date of National ID/ SSN/ SIN/ Driving license that you selected. In this field DO NOT mentioned about south africa visa(either expired Bussiness Visa or the current Visa 'X')

---------------------------

So, This is what you need to do for yourself when filling up the form.

On the IMM008 Forms, under principle applicant "country of residence" details Start Date and End Date:
Fill Start Date as the date of the Work Permit/Business Permit that had gotten when YOU entered South-Africa for the first time.
Fill End date as the date of the expiry of current legal status(that is your current work permit start/end dates).
In the type of visa in the drop down, you need to mention "Work Permit"

OK, now the National Identification Field - You safely give your current south Africa work permit start date and end date.

Good to hear that you have IELTS and WES is on the way.

Now, You can choose southafrica VO as LVO(local visa office-not sure which city in southafrica has VO may be JoBurg) for processing since you were in southafrica legally for more than 1 year/your existing work permit is valid for 1 year. Even then, If you have worked in other country other than southafrica, like your country of residence or any other country, then you have to fill those work experience details as well which will fetch you more points. Your husband's work experience is entirely irrelevant, since you are primary applicant. Only his IELTS score counts.
With one-year experince, unless you relatives in canada, I dont think you will hit the cut of 67 points.
Btw, How many points you are getting when do self calculation?
If it less than 67, Then no use.
Let me know, if you require more information.

Even if it was incomplete before or dont have UCI.... they will accept this as a fresh application. So chill.

Dont think too much on this issue... Its all good with your app.

Hey guys,

I posted this question before as well, but since there were no replies I am posting it again. I noticed on the FSW 2013 spreadsheet that there are several people for whom their VO has waived interviews. That to me seemed a bit unusual to me because even to get a visitor visa, most embassies request people to come in-person for an interview. Why do you think visas for several people in FSW '13 got waived?

Thanks

Most embassies do but not the Canadian Embassies.

Interview (especially in FSWP) is just for clarification and verification where need be that is why the emphasis is on sending the right application forms and documents.

FYI,Canadian embassies worldwide hardly conduct interview except in exceptional cases.

Well dont take me wrong but what do you think if they believe the application looks genuine with all the docs attached and dont want to go for interview then what wrong with that?? ??? ???

If they dont want interview then why are you so fussy and putting this post again and again even if no one replied before.

[randev]

@ Achiever99 Mate, I really didn't like the tone of your reply. The reason why I asked is because I have visited several countries and even for transit of several hours Embassies ask people to show up for in-person interviews. As I just found out from another member that not requiring interviews is not unusual at Canadian embassies.FYI, there isn't a single word of fabrication on my application.

i think they call in for an interview only people who seem "suspicious", or they want to double check their references, their english knowledge etc. i know at least 6-7 families from my country who left through this program in past several years, and no one was called in for an interview. however, i , myself, have been traveling in the past fairly frequently, and have been always called in for an interview for tourist and business visa. so, there are no rules! i guess it depends of the mood of an imm officer
