hear hear.... 31 July DD Applicant
After gaining a lot from this forum... I think now its time to contribute...
I was having a serious anxiety problem (fear of NER/returned application)... Was treating it for the last couple of days...
Received PER e-mail from CIO about 4-5 hours ago (just checked my inbox) just when I got over my anxiety problem...
DD encashed on 12 November...
Few points from my experience: -
1) If you are from Pakistan, issuance of birth certificate from NADRA is a piece of cake... just go to the relevant municipality/union council and you can get it in a couple of days... Birth Certificates are very important...
2) My National Id Card (CNIC) and Child Registration Certificate (CRC) were not in english... I got them translated by an oath commisioner himself... Got photocopies and translations notarized... Also, I submitted one affidavit for each translated document... I think NADRA Smart Card and FRC can be used in place of CNIC and CRC respectively...
3) Wrote a detailed cover letter explaining every little bit that could be wrongly interpreted e.g. I provided proof of funds in PKR/USD, converted them to CAD according to rate mentioned on Bank of Canada website on the day of writing cover letter and explained it to them in the cover letter.
My VO is London... don't think they will send AOR... should I update my status as PER received or processing started?
Oh... who am I kidding... I don't even know how to update SS... Will try to figure it out first...
