Hi Everyone,

By the grace of god, we received our 'ready for visa'/passport request last night via email. We applied to CPC-Ottawa under 2132 a few months back, so CPC seems to be doing an excellent job in terms of processing speed.

We have a few questions regarding next steps:

- Does anyone have an idea of the average processing time CPC takes to issue visas? Is it 10 days or several months? We may need to travel in the next 2 months, so can't have our passports locked up at CIC if it takes several months.

- We live in the USA - does anyone know how to send our passports/receive them back? Is Canada Post self addressed mailing label the best option?

- Regarding mailing label, I read somewhere that CIC does not like the "From" address on the mailing label to say CIC for security/privacy purposes (to minimize chances of the passport getting stolen/lost in transit). What else do we put in the 'From' address then? (our own address?)

Good luck to everyone, and may your dreams come true!

Congratulations!

HAVE YOU SEEN MY POST FROM YESTERDAY ON THIS TOPIC?

New Schedule 3:
Guys there is new version of schdule 3 and it has one changing. The experience column in q 12-b now does not mention experience below 1 year...so now what to do with experience of 6 months?? Should i write in 1 year column? Or combine that experience with other experience in the same NOC?? Confused !!

See my previous posts on this same topic..Yes, tick the first box for your 6-month experience.

Don't be stressed about old version vs new version in this case!

They aligned the form with the eligibility chart...No box to tick not only if you have less than 1 year of experience but also if you have more than 3 but less than 4 years of experience or more than 5 but less than 6 years of experience!.. My gut feel is that the form was revised to make it easier for 'grading' and does not materially change how the number of points are calculated based on number of years of experience. All the other revised forms in August are to reflect the change in law for the age of dependents going down from 21 to 19. Again, no new information requested. So, I wouldn't worry if you used old versions of these forms (assuming you have no dependents between the ages of 19 and 21 of course!) and sent your application in August. Just make sure you use the new forms going forward....

If the description and list of main duties match what you did at your last job(s), you can count this experience for points.
Use this chart to find the number of points based on your number of years of experience.

Experience Maximum 15 points
1 year 9
2-3 years 11
4-5 years 13
6 or more years 15

Thanks! I guess then there is no harm in using the old form!

If you are now sending your application, of course use the updated versions. If you've already sent your application in August, don't worry about it...

Your application will get to CIC in September then. It wouldn't take more than half an hour to revise your application and use the August versions of the three forms. If I were you, I would definitely send the August versions. After all, they specifically tell you to check the website before sending your application and use the most up-to-date versions of the forms.
