FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[Deleted member 549667]

Thanks a lot buddy for the guidance.

Hi Ankush,

1) If the clinic for meds is an eClinic, then it will be uploaded by them directly. They will give you an ack and receipt of payment. While not necessary, you can share a copy of your ack along. (No Attestation needed)

2) Fill in the blank spots in the RPRF receipt and share. No attestation needed.

3) For India, you just need one PCC. The one you get from Patiala should be enough.

4) Share normal passport bio pages copies.

Also attach along your MR, RPRF email where these specifics were asked for.

Use Bluedart. Better than Indian post, at later stage you can also get a proof of delivery from them. If they have issues with the PO BOX mentioned in the address, you can skip that line and sent it to VO.

All the best !!

Hey Kanu just filled the form and send it through your email. Your consultant will be notified for these changes. But they cant harm your application.

Thanks buddy +1 for you

I ordered GCMS earlier and observed that after the physical file moves to a certain department, it takes almost a month for it to get picked and a few days for them to close and forward further.
I would be hopeful that you should have DM/PPR by next 30 days.

You could also raise GCMS to know file status.

Thanks for reply.

Hello all,

I and my wife finally landed in Canada a few weeks back. We want to share a few details about our landing and Canadian experience so far. Hope it's of use to our members.

1) Immigration process

Was pretty much straightforward. The immigration officer did ask us for proof of funds. SO, MAKE SURE YOU BRING LIQUID ASSETS (CASH, TRAVELLER'S CHEQUES, BANK DRAFT, ETC) THAT ARE AT LEAST EQUAL OR ABOVE WHAT'S REQUIRED BY CANADIAN IMMIGRATION. I've seen a few questions on this forum asking whether bank statements will work. Here's the link from CIC regarding proof of funds:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

There's no mention of bank statements in there. Hence, it is best if you bring assets in the forms described in the link.

2) Customs

The customs experience can be a 10-minute experience or a 2 –hour experience. It depends on HOW ORGANIZED YOU ARE. When you come to Canada make sure you bring TWO LISTS OF ITEMS THAT YOU'RE BRINGING IN WITH YOU AND ANOTHER TWO LISTS OF ITEMS TO FOLLOW. There was a migrant in front us who didn't bring the list and it was a very long process for her.

IT IS BEST IF YOU TYPE THE LISTS. CANADIAN CUSTOMS INSTRUCTS THAT YOU PROVIDE AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THE ITEMS THAT YOU BRING IN. These include:

1) Quantity
2) Item description: a) make b) model (example Sony Vaio computer)
3) Serial number if it has one
4) Value in CDN dollars

See following link for further details:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/before-border.asp

The relevant custom document is B 4:

http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/b4-eng.pdf

On top of creating these lists, we also colour coded a separate list - the colour coded list was for our use. For example, items were coloured in 8 different colours. Why? Because, if the customs officer wanted to check a particular item, we knew which exact bag to open. For example, if the customs officer wanted to see the camera that we were bringing, then just by looking at the colour code of that item – light blue- we would know that it's in my wife's third bag.

3) Health Card

Don't know about other provinces, but Ontario's health coverage doesn't begin for three months after you arrive. SO YOU NEED HEALTH INSURANCE IN THE INTERMEDIATE TIME. PLEASE BUY YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE BEFORE YOU MOVE TO CANADA. SOME INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE A 48-HR WAITING PERIOD IF YOU BUY INSURANCE AFTER YOU LAND IN CANADA. Google to find health insurance companies. There are plenty of them. It's best if you use an online insurance comparison shopper site, as it'll give you an easy one-stop comparison of the different plans that are available and their costs.

Also note that when you go to apply for provincial insurance, they ask for proof of residence. Proof of residence cannot be any document. It has to be mailed in document with your name (telephone bill, bank statement, etc) or something like a lease document or a driver's license

See list number 2:

http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/GetFileAttach/014-9998E-82~1/$File/9998-82E.pdf


4) WINTERS IN CANADA ARE BRUTALLY COLD

Nothing can prepare you for how cold it can get in Canada. Trust us, if you don't have the proper winter clothing, even a 5-minute walk can cause frost bite. I think we were really smart not to buy winter clothes locally. We shopped for winter clothes in US Amazon and Ebay. We specifically bought clothes, gloves, boots, etc that were manufactured in Canada and the US for extreme winters. These clothes have helped us a lot!

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WITH EVERYTHING!

Congratulations on your landing!!! And thank you so much for sharing your experience! Loved the coded color list!!!

Hi Friends,

I got the GCMS notes yesterday night. Can any one tell me what is the meaning of Location: ECU-EDO?

Also I can see the due date in application assessment corner as 30-04-2015. Does that mean that they will open my file on 30-April only or they will open it before that date also? If 30-04-2015 is the case then it is too late from their side. My third line was updated on 13-10-2014 and I can see that the RFV check was completed on 3-11-2014 with below comments.

Also I can see that till 10-02-2015 the criminality and security checks were not started at all.

Can any one predict the future :-\

Regards,
Amar
