Hey Guys,

Happy to share the good news that finally, finally, finally, I have received the much elusive

PER !!!!!

Thanks to all the forum members for the confidence bestowed upon me. Your support really helped me go through the difficult times. Will not name anyone as the list is endless and do not want to miss anyone. ;D ;D

Will update the SS shortly

My timelines :
NOC : 1114
Application receipt date at CIC as per courier : 2nd Sept
Application receipt date at CIC as per CIC : 20th Oct
DD encashment date as per CIC : 23rd Dec
DD encashment date as per bank : 29th Dec
ECAS update went live : 16th Jan
PER date : 20th Jan

Don't really think I had missed out on any docs in the initial application, though i must admit that :
1. My Birth Certificate wasn't submitted as I didn't have one at the time of application submission. Had submitted an affidavit and a 10th passing certificate in which DOB was mentioned.
2. Didn't submit legal marriage certificate as I did not have one at the time of application submission. In lieu of this, I had submitted marriage certificate issued by religious priest and passport copies where spouse name was updated. Also Childs BC was provided where parents name was updated.

Have got both these certificate issued from respective government offices now, to be on the safer side. Don't recall any other discrepancy.

Thanks once again for all the support.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! You really deserve,, you were and still very helpful to all the forum members... +1 to you CanOl wish you a very smooth and successful processing of your application in the next steps..

You only get money back if your application is deemed incomplete at the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, NS. Once your file gets transferred to a visa office, your fees are nonrefundable, whether you get PER or NER.

But if it is a NER does the file even gets transferred to visa office. As, I understand PER is sent by Sydney office and after which it is sent to LO.
So, if it is NER at Sydney only money should be refunded.

Update: PPR + RPRF RECEIVED

This is what I am feeling right now /\ /\ /\ /\.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS Goku ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

All the best in your next steps!! +1 to you friend..

Canadian Immigration Processing Still Has “High Error Rate”

Guys / Gals - this is a very interesting article by David Cohen - Immigration Lawyer; thought I should share with you all.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has taken recent steps to improve and expedite immigration applications. The new Express Entry immigration selection system, which was introduced two weeks ago, aims to process submitted applications within six months, and several new Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams have also come into operation. Additionally, applications are increasingly being processed online, with the aim of reducing errors and processing times.
While the future of Canadian immigration appears promising, there are several imperfections that have recently come to light. Internal government documents have revealed a high level of human error by CIC staff in Canadian immigration processing on applications for permanent residence, temporary work permits, and refugee status.
“Quality management” reviews, which were obtained by the Toronto Star newspaper earlier this month, provide a glimpse into the extent of these official errors. The documents reveal that, among other issues, staff have failed to use correct form letters, address missing documents, and provide accurate timelines. This could create unnecessary backlogs and delays, or even cost individual applicants a chance to live and work in Canada.
Some resourceful applicants have been able to correct errors, reapply, and correct problems before those problems cost them their chance of immigrating to Canada. Others were not as fortunate. Applicants have cited inconsistencies and a perceived lack of procedural fairness and clarity in the application processing by government of Canada officials.
In other instances, applicants who had submitted applications to CIC may not have been fully aware that errors had been made on their applications, leading to frustration and disappointment.
According to a review of 996 files handled at the Vegreville Case Processing Centre in Alberta, which deals with permanent residence applications, between November 1 and December 6, 2014, the quality management team found that of the 617 request letters sent to applicants:
13 per cent did not address all missing items;
23 per cent had either no timeline, an incomplete timeline, or did not mention the consequences of failing to reply to the request; and
six per cent were either “not professional” or chose the incorrect template form.
Of 426 files that received a second review, decisions were still pending on 149 owing to errors made at an earlier stage.
Some individuals, including spokespersons from the Canada Employment and Immigration Union which represents a large number of CIC staff, have attributed the high error rate to part-time staff, who may not have the necessary training and experience needed in order to perform their duties to the highest possible standard.
The reaction
“It is unfortunate to hear about immigration cases that, with some expert guidance, should have been relatively straightforward, but were delayed or rejected due to human error. People's hopes and dreams are at stake here,” says Attorney David Cohen.
“In spite of this news, I would encourage potential immigrants to Canada to maintain a positive outlook about Canada — both the country itself and its immigration process. Canada continues to have one of the highest per capita rates of immigration in the world, a fact that is highly unlikely to change over the coming years.
“Very often, the problems faced by applicants when dealing with immigration officials can be dealt with, provided that the applicant has access to good information about his or her case and rights. For an applicant, retaining the services of an experienced immigration lawyer to represent him or her in an application for Canadian immigration could make the difference between huge disappointment on the one hand, and a new life in Canada on the other.”

Many Thanks for sharing this Article..

Hi All December Applicants,
Please note the following stats for your information, as per the updates by november applicants on the forum
3rd Nov,2014 Applicant CC charged on 7th Jan 2015
26th Nov,2014 Applicant CC charged on 21st Jan 2015
Days from 3rd Nov till 26th Nov = 23-days of applications
Days from 7th Jan till 21st Jan = 15-days of CIO
So CIO is finishing completeness check at the rate of Appx.1.53-days of applications per working day.
With this rate the appications received on or before 15th December 2014 would have been charged prior to 3rd Feb,2015.
Similarly all the applications received till 31st December, 2014 would have been charged prior to 13th of Feb 2015.

Regards,George,
Doha,Qatar

Hi our file was received by CIC on 12 th Aug and we had high hopes, however received a rejection letter from cic on 28th Dec saying the the spouse's family information form was not sent. However it was already sent...and the most frustrating the rejection letter was sent by CIC in Oct(last week of Oct between 20-25). And we got the post only on 27th Dec by then we could not reapply also cap was reached by then.. can we appeal???

 

[cincikid]

Sorry to hear that. If you appeal, how will you prove the form was indeed included in your package?

 

[mireisdorfer]

Hi guys
I did my medicals on Dec 18, the doctor sent them to CIC on Jan 7. So far I heard nothing from CIC, nor my third line on ECAS was updated. Should I be worried? How much time does it take to receive the passport request? Thanks
