Your congratulations have made this exceptional moment even more memorable! It's been almost 4 months since the app arrived to CIO, and about 6 months from the moment I started preparing documents for submission! Without this thread and our awesome community it would be very difficult to endure the psychological pressure of Sydney stage. Thank you, and +1 to everyone when karma allowed.
SS updated
And a few details:
1) Used outdated May, 2014 forms
2) Blue ink signatures
3) Very basic description of job duties for primary NOC (two lines maybe)
4) No cover letter
5) Used notarized color copies + copies of translations and affidavits (original documents were in Russian)
6) Submitted expired PCCs
7) Provided a LOT of non-required documents (tax returns, property evaluation, language certificates other than IELTS)
Most importantly at the time of submission I lived in Russia, and when I moved to Canada I sent an addendum requesting address change (for CPC-O processing). The addendum was matched and CAS shows amended address. Used UCI from previous applications to access CAS. It let me in the very same day I received AOR (PER).
