FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[future_canadian]

NDVO has asked me to re-submit SCHEDULE A form. What Option should I pursue to send it:

1. Update Schedule A and submit an unsigned PDF as attachment via CSE ?
2. Update Schedule A, take a print, date and sign it, get it scanned and submit the scanned+signed and original unsigned PDF as attachment to CSE ?

Option 2 sounds favorable to me but I would still like to seek experts' opinion.

Is there another way to submit documents to NDVO apart from CSE ?

Please help

Yes option 2

Dear Seniors:
i have a question,
My App received at Nov 24< CC charged at 19th Jan, No PER yet, I got the UCI from CIC and it shows in Process.
What does this means ?
And what is done between CC charging and PER ?
they communicate the company or they just match the JD with the NOC ?

You may rent a fully furnished condo/house for a week and search for suitable accommodation during that period.

airbnb.ca is a good site for booking furnished condo / house before you land.

If you are landing in Toronto then the following page may be useful
https://www.facebook.com/groups/torontoroomrentals/

Also try Kjiji.ca

Beware...do not pay any dollars in advance if you find an accommodation through Kijiji.ca...you might also be cheated...so don't pay any cash in advance if they insist.

Friends

I have read in the forum people saying my ECAS went live on xxxx date. Can someone please tell me where to see the XXXX date in ECAS status ?

I Can see in Process and when I click it says app recd on xxx date but I can't see when did the ECAS status went live

Am I missing something here... Any help will be much appreciated !

Regards
Amar

Nopes, you have got what you need my friend. We don't need to bother when the ECAS went live. We just need to check and make sure that the date you see in " We received your application on ....." is the correct date of your submission.

To all the lovely applicants

I read so many posts, some happy for PER, some frustrated with the wait and some over the moon for getting a PPR

Feels so happy to see many elated applicants, they have waited for this day hoping to change many things in life, probably had been mocked over many things by people around but they still were patient for this day.
Many would have cried in happiness after such a long wait and finally it has paid off!
Wish you guys handle every other situation in life with such patience and achieve what you always wanted to - GOOD LUCK!

To all who are still waiting
To be practical, this is life! Things you never wanted actually, you get them at ease and you dont realise its importance.
If it takes long, tests your patience, has given you sleepless nights, made you not to get to work during this time, then just imagine of THE day when you get a PPR and THE day when your FACEBOOK status is going to change to MOVED TO CANADA .. .. ..yes thats what am talking about! Just hang in there, its not by your choice you are waiting so let it be what it is, let that end result be of matter and think of that day when you'll forget of this wait that kept you anticipating for that eternal thing - PR

Thank you for these inspiring and positive words. We all should have this perspective and being focused in the final prize

It seems you didnt get my question. I wanted to know if there is any Medical Certificate we have to submit to NDVO along with the passport of child ?

No, I don't think so.

Hello All,

need advice, it has been more than a month i have got the MR received in ECAS so i was thinking whether it is a good move to block the Flight Tickets for the month April last week with an open option to postpone the ticket with a new date if required.

As we have the max time for processing as 12 month worst case i will get it in the month of July 2015... whats your opinion on the same ?

Courier tracking ID is the only way.
Keep an eye on your mailbox for any mails upto a week.
Post a week, check is you DD got encashed. Once encashed, all is sorted.

Congratulations to all PPR/Visa recipients

Here is the list of Documents you need at the time of landing
Without these documents (with translation, if not in English/French), you will not be allowed into Canada.
• Visa (if applicable) and CoPR
• Two (2) copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you are bringing with you showing the value, make, model and serial number, if the item has one. Divide the list into two sections: the goods you are bringing with you and the goods to follow.
• Two (2) copies of a list of items that are arriving later and their money value
Do not pack these documents in your luggage. Keep them with you at all times.
Present this list to the border services officer on your first point of arrival in Canada, even if you are not bringing in any goods at that time.
The above mentioned lists are called B4 form, to download a copy of the Form B4, http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/ b4-eng[DOT]pdf


As b4 form has only 8 item list, remaining items can be mentioned in form b4a, while showing sum of all items in b4a form as 8th line in B4 form

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/b4a[DOT]pdf

Disclosure of funds
If you are carrying more than CDN $10,000 (Cash and/or bonds, DD, Travler's Check, etc), you need to disclose them using this form http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e677.pdfb

As this disclosure is a proof of ur funds in Canada, fill it even if less than said amount. This disclosure is other than proof of funds, which can be provided as bank statement (not recommended) as acceptance if entirely dependent on the officer (especially not accepted from banks of third world). Therefore, preferably u shud be carrying Cash/DD/TC etc of value equal to PoF requirement for all the family members, even if initially P.A is landing. No PoF required, if family follows P.A at some later date.

In Canada, immunization or vaccination records are required for children to enroll in school. However, if possible, take ur own immunization record.

Other documents you may need:
• Birth,Adoption & Marriage certificates or baptismal certificates
• School records, diplomas or degrees for each family member traveling with you
• Trade or professional certificates and licences
• Letters of reference from former employers
• A list of your educational and professional qualifications and job experience (for your résumé)
• Driver's licence, including an International Driver's Permit and a reference from your auto insurance company
• Photocopies of all essential and important documents, in case the originals get lost (be sure to keep the photocopies in a separate place from the originals)
• Car registration documents (if you are importing a motor vehicle into Canada)

Customs declaration card
Fill the following Customer Declaration card, the actual card to fill the info will be provided on plane but u can look at following sample to have idea of wht info is required.
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/e311-eng.pdf
