FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

Hi, I noticed that you used DD for payment. May I ask you how you did this in Brazil? I could not find any bank that has this type of transaction. I used CC because I had no option.

Hi, Luiz

I'm retaining the consulting services of the Campbell Cohen law offices (they are the owners of this domain, by the way), and they provided a link that allowed me to pay them the fee via CC (plus a 4% credit card fee and CAD$ 12 for the bank fees). I then sent my application to them instead of directly to CIO, and besides checking my application for mistakes, they enclosed a Canadian DD as well as the correct fee payment form.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the reply.

Praah ji,

How badly is one s.... depends on how harshd is the VO ;D

Is your BC translated done by a "Certified Translator" (cum Notary) ? The seal which they put on the translated document .. states something sort of an affidavit as they are Notaries themselves.

Also, if your 10th/12th Cert has Parent/s name also mentioned on it then acceptable for BC.

So, how badly is one screwed if the translated birth certificate doesn't include affidavit from the translator? ;D My docs are with my friend in Canada, waiting for WES report to complete the file (in a day or two). But I had only sent notarized English translation of my birth certificate (plus a photocopy of original), but no affidavit. Although my 10th & 12th grade certificate does have birth date on it. So, any suggestions? 8)

Did you mean to say that Banks in Brazil don't issue Banker's check/ Draft in Foreign currency at all to anybody ?? :-\

Also, suggest you to check / ensure if your CC is valid for Innterational transaction and set your limit such that it exceed the CIO fees

Whatever no. of Apps you send, at some stage only One of your Application will go for Processing. Sooner or later you'll have to choose between one of them for VO. < fyi >

Yes, we are applying seperately in 2 seperate applications. This will as well include 2 seperate fees for CIC and seperate copies of WES and IELTS. I believe applying independently in 2 NOC's seperately is possible if we make 2 seperate complete application packages. I hope I am right...Seniors please correct me if wrong.

Actually if I ask for a Demand Draft in a bank here, they do not even know what I am talking about. I have been calling my bank obsessively asking them not to block my card. But I know it is risky.

I have an extra translation copy with me, checked it, it has that "certified to be a true translation from punjabi/hindi/urdu to english blah blah blah" stamp with notary sign on it. I suppose it will be sufficient. If not, screw it, not going to scratch my head any further with this stuff. Will ask my friend to send it as it is. With all the "kutte bhakai" for all these docs, photocopies, banks, courier, I'm done with it. ;D

Yes, neel-here, I think the banking system here in Brazil doesn't isue any of these. At most, banks can make wire transfers, and most of them need some form of proof that you need to send money away from the country. And, of course, the wire transfers must have a target account with bank, branch and account information, which CIC does not provide. Oh, and the fee for a wire transfer is at least US$ 50.

Your suggestion to luizfper is valid, but I believe that he already checked for that. I would advise, on top of your advice, that he calls the CC company and warns them of an impending transaction from Canada and its value, so that it doesn't get denied when CIC charges it.

@roys,

how can you expect VO to interpret your name format ABC. Unless the SSC Cert explicitly mention Parent/s name- (CCC AAA, in your case), I doubt it will be accepted .

For Date of Birth, I do not have my birth certificate, so would be attaching my SSC certificate with a cover letter.
The name on my SSC certificate is AAA BBB CCC, where AAA is my surname(family name), BBB is given name and CCC is my fathers name. My date of birth is also mentioned.

Will this work as an alternative to a birth certificate. There is no special column which says fathers name.

 

[S4F]

The name on my passport and basically every other documents is 'Syed Farooq Mehmood'.
But the name on my university degree and on ECA report is 'Farooq Mehmood'.

Will this be a problem for CIC?

 

[S4F]

I don't have a birth certificate. It was never made and was never a practice in the village I was born. I don't think anyone would issue me one now. Will CIC accept any other document or documents in lieu of a birth certificate?

@neel-here

Its simple, he will not interpret it. You have already done the interpretation for him, by entering in different forms. All he needs to do is match the sequence doesn't matter if its in first name last name format or last name first name format.

Even in BC name formats are usually not provided.

@ roys,

Hi i need help on what are my options

I sent my application package to CIC and it was delivered today but I realised I made a mistake in Economic CLasses form Question 6. I chose yes which was a mistake since I never studied in canada! I have attached my Original WES report but did not attach the copy of my degree certificates along with it.

Do you guys feel this would be a strong case for denial, if so what are my options

1. Should I try sending another package with all the documents OR
2. Should I just send the corrected form with the missed out copy of my certificates? Please help!!

Thanks

when can one expect PER email (positive or negative) from the day of CC charged ? Seniors members please comment
