I just realized a couple of mistakes that i have made by looking at your comments.

- Did not included the details of my parents in the generic application form.
- Did not included the background declaration form of my spouse
- Did not included the additional information form of my spouse
- i have mentioned the assets value of 18500$ in my economic form and since i don't have any liabilities i have not mentioned anything in settlement funds and liabilities.

I am sending the updated generic application form, background declaration form and additional information. Do you think i should send the updated economic form? Also, just wanted to seek your advice, will they accept the updated forms because my file reached CIC office on 13th august and i still have lot of time before they evaluate my application.

I will also be sending a cover letter explaining my situation and hope they should accept it. pls advice
Dude, you made so many mistakes. Are you sure that those are the only mistakes you made? If I were you, I would just send a new application but only after making absolutely sure everything is correct and complete.

Seniors,

I have given my Citibank Credit card details when I sent the application. Yesterday I got an email from Citibank that OTP will be mandatory. Also a line is included which says it may not be applicable to certain international merchants.

This should not be any problem for CIC to charge my credit card right??? Please advise me on this.

Hi Experienced guys and Seniors,
Please shed some light on PCC in India. Few questions from my understanding

1. I have once got PCC for Newzealand and it doesn't have any local address specified. Now I dont know about it. So will it have address mentioned in it?

2. There are lot of queries regarding the address in the passport and current address being different. The processing time also differs for both. According to passport office, if current address is same as of passport it will be issued in the same day and if the current add is different from passport address it will be issued once it is verified by the local police(in current city) which obviously takes some time(2 to 4 weeks as they say). If PCC is only thing required by VO then one can apply with the passport address and get the things done quickly right ?

3. After PER what is the next process and when will they ask for PCC?

Thanks in advance

You have problems with 4 of the forms. Any one of those problems alone can cause rejection. So I am not sure if CIC will be kind to you if you send only the replacement forms. So I think the safest thing to do would be to send an entirely new application packet.

Hi there,

Few weeks back I wrote an email to CIC asking about the status of my application. Today they have replied stating that it has been returned because it was deemed incomplete. It also says that a letter of explanation is with the package which is sent via ordinary mail. They sent the package on 4th Jul. I haven't received the package yet. Any idea how much time does it take to reach back to India (Pune)?

Thanks,
Sorry to hear this brother..I think you should have received it by now. It should not take more than 45 days if it is Pune. Please check with the local mail office. Based on the current trends, I guess there is time to shoot for 2281, 2172 or worst case 2171. But, yes you need to know what went wrong, so you can correct and send. All the best.

Folks, Countrymen, Comrades, Russians, and my dear fellow Indians,

CIC finally charged my credit card yesterday, 22nd September. This was the second attempt. The transaction was declined on 20th September in first attempt. I am 4th June applicant for NOC 2174.

Few points to note concerning my application:

1. CC transaction is always risky. As far as possible please avoid it. Mine was ICICI bank CC with sufficient international credit limit and my CC was active for international transaction. I kept informing the bank that I am expecting $1100 CAD transaction and the customer care officer kept assuring me that everything is fine. However on the D Day ( In fact now the D-1 th Day) of 20th September the transaction was declined. I made 10-12 frenetic calls and was told that the transaction was declined on suspicion of fraudulent transaction. SO much for all the precautions I took earlier. Then I directed them to add this merchant (that is the mighty GOD CIC :D) in the "Normalized" list. Apparently this was not done. So should you still go ahead with CC, please make sure:
a. Your card is active for international transaction
b. you have sufficient international credit limit ( this is different from domestic limit)
c. and most important, CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION FSW SY CA is in the banks Normalized ( Trust) list.

2. I have not submitted birth certificate. Instead, mine was Xth class certificate with my DoB and my father's name ( not mother's name)

3. In my PoF, 90% of the amount was through Stock and Mutual Fund and only 10% through traditional instruments such as Saving bank, PPF/PF etc.

Hello Friend i have submitted my application with Citibank Credit Card, I got PER too, CIC doesn't require any OTP, U need to fill ur form with UR Credit card details including CVV number.Once u send ur application u call to Citibank and inform them about these coming transaction for ur safer side. Because some time they used to reject big amounts transaction. Thats why u need to inform bank regarding the transaction which is going to happen soon, then they will add note.Please ensure that when u fill form for CC, double check account number, cvv, name expiry date, etc..other wise one number can spoil ur hopes

True. Many companies don't provide... but try to get the maximum information regarding you job and try to get the roles and responsibilities in company letter head. This is very important... Don't neglect this...
