FSW 2014 August Applicants

[harpawan]

Hello Augustians

I have been following this forum from last 3 months and i have observed a lot of cases and replies from different forums

1) For all those who have been charged, 99% u guys are in (May be the officer missed to send you the mail or ur consultant)......try n get your UCI no. from Nova Scotia, thru call or mail. You will find ur status.

2) For those who have not been charged...looks a bit difficult from here but not to loose hopes.....there are still chances....Because of the Express Entry, the speed of processing of FSW 2014 has become slow (heard from other forums)....But you guys must write to CIC to obtain a revert on your application.....Revert may take time...but its better then hanging in there.

I wish all my Augustian friends all the best......And i hope everyone of us sail thru this........After all two things connect us.....1) Canada and 2) August.....Good Luck

Hello,

My application has been rejected and CIC has sent my documents back to the address which was mentioned in the application.

But since I have recently moved back to India the courier was sent back to CIC and they sent me a mail asking me to provide me a valid address.

I have sent the address to them but there is no response from them after that.

I have multiple mails,called the CIC customer care,submitted a case investigation but there is no response.

Can u please tell me what can I do further.

My original IELTS,WES are with them and due to this I cannot apply again also

Hello Vam37,

Sorry to hear that.

Didn't they sent any NER email before ? What reason for rejection they gave?

Hi Gentleiphy,
Congrats on PER buddy! I've been following your posts
yes your post does give me some hope that I may still get a PER...I need the hope!
My application was also received by CIO on 27 August 2014. As per the bank, my DD was encashed on 10 December 2014 (but I'm not sure how reliable is this info).
I received an email from CIO on 12 December, containing my UCI and Application numbers. The email however didn't mention anything about eligibility determination on my application. It asked me to update them if I have changes in my marital, employment status etc.
My E-cas shows "In Process" and when I click on it "We received your application on 27 August 2014".
May God help us all.

That is your PER mail brother....that is your PER.....Congrats..so we both are waiting for MR...

 

[gentleiphy]

First of all congratulations buddy. All the very best for your future processing. I am still waiting for the CC to be charged. My application was received on 28 August. What I see from the posts here is that the processing is very random. I know one case, where five people from same company with same experience applied. While one person applied one week early, the rest of them applied one week later. All the four got PER while this one person (same country, same NOC, same experience, same company) was still waiting. So the biggest hope for people is that they have yet not received rejection email. This is also mentioned here http://www.fsw2014.info/faq-after-submission/.

So all the best for people and God bless!!

You are very very right Sunoarun....the spirit here is to have hope and be patient...my PER took me 140 days from date of CIC receipt which is 27th August...so lets keep hanging on with our hopes and patience

I have to mention that I have a UCI number from a previous FSW application in year 2008. This one got returned due to the visa officer not being satisfied that my duties described in the job reference letters match the requirement described in Canada's National Occupation Classification.

In the last 5 years, I worked in a new company which provided a reference letter containing most of the job duties described in Canada's NOC for my profession of accountant. Also my working visa and labor contract mention my designation is Accountant.

Please let me know what you think.
Does anyone have a similar case as mine?

@sSY81....PLEASE CHECK BELOW PER MAIL I GOT AND COMPARE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE...from what i see..i think its not the PER mail yet but check..

@ ayanami2281....please for the sake of clarification can you do us a favour and publish the two different e mails you received here...both the PER mail and the other one you received last week.

Hi Ayanami2281 and Gentleiphy, thank you for trying to shed some light on my situation.
I'm afraid the email I got is not the PER message. It does not contain information about the eligibility determination or a receipt number for my DD payment.

The bank said the DD was cashed but the info they gave me is somewhat confusing - first they said it was cleared in end of Nov'14 and then on 10 Dec'14

I wonder if the immigration officer has decided my document submission is an update of my old application from July 2008. But that one was returned to me in September 2009 and with this the file should have been closed ??? May be the fact that had an old application delayed my new one..

I sent an email to CIO 2 weeks ago to inform them that my employment status has changed and inquired about the status of my application as well. I assume I can do nothing else except wait 50-60 days for their reply & meanwhile check my Ecas and email inbox...



I pray to the Almighty to help us all.

@ ssy81... please don't lose hope yet....lets be positive on this as we don't know yet what has happened or is happening at the moment otherwise the reason i asked ayananmi2281 to share his two mails he received....yea i too having looked at yours and mine i discovered that there was no receipt number and no positive determination line..because receipt number means DD was encashed...and for signing off ..it must have an initial of who signed off as the processing agent and yours didn't have that...but like you rightly said we only have to wait for the reply to the mail you sent to CIO and until that time we have to keep hoping and praying good news will come .

Any August applicant got MR yet?

Before I received my PER, I sent an email to CIC to enquire about my status and got a reply today that my application is in my visa office. Does it mean they started processing my application? In the online status checker, it say "IN PROCESS" though.

I have the same case here, I received PER on 11/12/2014, and got reply from CIC on 15/12/2014 for previous email which I sent in October 24th that my file has been transferred to London Visa Office. Since then my ecas has one line, "In Process" "we received your application on 25/8/2014".

38 Days since receiving the PER and waiting for the first communication from LVO.
