Thanks for all the kind words, guys! I too am impressed with how fast my processing has been, lol... I've got you all in my prayers!

 

[dmac11]

dmac thanks for asking. I tried calling. I would have called at least 6 times but every time they say that they cannot provide any information. Then I sent them an email at the start of December 2014. Still waiting for their reply.

My application was received there on 28 August 2014. Nothing after that. Not sure, how they are processing the applications.

The only thing I can do is wait patiently since another forum says that if I have still not received NER, it simply means that the processing is taking time. In any case this is the only thing I can do.

Lets hope for the best

I guess the agent you had talked to were the not so generous ones.. Anyways, always hope for the best brother. Atleast you have sent the email to CIC. Expect the response probably mid Feb and hope it will be positive.

All the best

All the best

Just to share with you guys, some info's to absorb..

WHICH CITY TO LAND? -for FSW without AEO & friends/relatives

My opinion: TORONTO.
-It has a bigger job basket, for any occupation. Thus, the share is bigger -so the opportunities are larger.
-Weather wise, it is not that bad. Perfectly manageable even in winters or summers.
-Cost of living wise, quite Ok too -quite compititive vis-a-vis the other deciding factors.
-The higest minority populace. Ppl are extremely tolerant to race, color, creed, faith etc.
-Land there first, take a 'survival job', which'll be easier here & move to any city after getting the choice job.
-Important: It's not the profession of a newcomer, but the initial survival that'd be the decider for a city.

VANCOUVER:
Very aptly said by others before on this forum. It's the best city weather wise & has a charmed beauty. Quite nice minority populace, yes -Indians rock here. But, better avoided.
-No or minimal jobs today for any field. (note: the winter olympics thing is temp)
-The costliest city to settle down.
-Housing costs are sky rocketting.
-Not at all a good choice for a newcomer, w/out AOE or friends/relatives support.
-What's the point of all that beauty, if u do not have money in ur pocket?

CALGARY-EDMONTON CORRIDOR:
Very nicely coming-up. Weather is cold, but adjustable [Edmonton needs adaptation though]. Has the 'rockies' to enhance its beauty. A perfect alternative to Vancouver. But:
-Newcomers should take it as a 2nd choice to Toronto. Due to the factors I said under Toronto.
-Damn good for establishing a business. (no provincial tax)
-Essentially a befitting place for Oil & Gas sector, which also makes other jobs available in their HOs.
-But remember again: For newcomer jobs, take Toronto as POE.

There is nothing wrong in other Canadian cities. But this post is meant for newcomers, looking for instant jobs, not for business; and for those who do not have an AOE or freinds/relatives to initially assist. Else, any other city has its own merits/demerits.

Ps: I have visited all the above cities. But my views are based on limited info. The actual residents, who are on this forum, might have a better opinion.

To add something here. There is a government agency in Saskatchewan: www.isans.ca

They help you get a job in Saskatchewan, as soon as you get the PR and intend to settle down there. Cool I am sure there will be other agencies for other provinces, who help the new comers.

i done that call but and the CIC agent told me that i should have UCI code otherwise nothing will happened

 

[dmac11]

i done that call but and the CIC agent told me that i should have UCI code otherwise nothing will happened

You mean the agent told you that you need to have the UCI? or the automated phone? What i did was i just politely asked for my UCI number stating that i applied last August for FSW and i have yet to hear anything from CIC. Furthermore, telling the lady agent that it is my 1st time application so is it possible you can provide me my UCI no.?

Maybe i just got really lucky on that day. There were several also were lucky enough. Though several as well were not. Maybe you can keep trying and hopefully your luck will turn out one day.

All the best
