Hello Seniors,

Here is my worry. I sent the old forms of "Main Application" (Mar 2014) & "Document Checklist" (Mar 2014) in the package; however, "Schedule 3" (August 2013) was up-to-date at the time of submission.

Though, it seems from the posts and in the past posts as well that the packages were returned mainly due to the old "Schedule 3" forms. Is this correct? Have we had any returned application this time due to old forms mentioned above?

Regards,
SK

Dear,

For your info, Schedule 3 form was updated on 20 Aug 2014.
 
Hi,

hi
i had applied my case under the category of federal skilled workers of NOC code 2263 in may 29 2014 . since then i was waiting for CIC contact but i couldn't get any notification. then I checked the status of my DD.. through bank they gave the information. it has been charged on 21st Oct.. i was so happy that i got it and will get the email from CIC section soon. unfortunately i still didn't get any response. Yesterday my whole application package came back without demand draft, no notification, no objection from CIC. I am so surprised that if my DD was charged then i should get any notification from CIC office.
but the application came back with out any objection is indicating what????? that some of my requirement were missing or what???? now where should i ask about reimbursement of my DD. I am so worried and really want your expertise. please guide me in this regard. I mean how is this possible that DD is charged and app came bak without any notification. i have tracked it on Fedex D. Stephonson has signed to accept it. my app was stamped with CIC Sydeny, C/O Mail Room. and on envelop the sender adress is following

Very sad to hear this. Minimum you can do is to send inquiry email to Cic sydney. At least they should send you NER mail

This sounds like what will happen in 2015 express entry applications. No passing marks no NOC. Anyone can apply but no guarantee of response

Very sad for u. It's very strange that cic didn't include any letter with it. By the way, is it your first application to cic? If you applied earlier or returned due to cap etc ? If yes than may be information mismatched and they rejected right way. What do you think ?
 
Hi, I would require the same as my mother's name is different in various documents!
if you can send me the formats. My id is ekta_5balva@rediffmail.com.
Thanks in advance.

You just need to provide a sworned affidavit for " both name belongs to the same person and that person is xxxxxxx(Your correct spelling)". Go to a lawyer who prepares this kind of affidavit's they will have a standard format. I had the same case, i have got the format if you need than send me your email id in my inbox, il forward it to you. Thanks and Good luck.

You don't need sign the fee payment form if your mode of payment used was DD but must be signed if it was CC.
Please check your mode of payment.
Good luck

Suggestions + A Question

Dear all,

As a person who have been rejected twice, my previous experience tells me to be as detailed in your work letters as possible. At least in the PhD FSW category, the visa officers are very careful to ensure that your work experience is (1) continuous and (2) 1560 hours in total. For the latter, my experience tells me to state explicitly how many hours you worked per week, as the word "full-time" may mean different things in different country. If you change from one job to another, ensure that the breaks between jobs are BOTH anticipated AND short (see Operational Bulletin 173: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2010/ob173.asp). I would think, for example, a contract letter for the second job that was signed while you are still in the first job is enough evidence for 'anticipated'. When you write your job duties, look at the corresponding job duty description in the NOC website and paraphrased it. Be sure to paraphase, as much as you can, both the lead statement AND the job duties under the job code. Do not copy them.

I am applying for the third time (and it is not very fun to do this so many times :( ). I have two questions.

(1) For CONTINUOUS requirement of my employment, do you think that I can write as follow: "XX has been employed continuously as (the position) from XX to present"?

(2) I cannot apply for the letter saying that it is for immigration. Therefore, I told my company that I am applying for the visa application. As a result, the company writes something like "Your positive evaluation of her visa application is appreciated." Will it negatively affect my application?

(3) I do not understand why in Schedule 3 page 3 (Your Work Experience), the application does not have options that an experience is less than one year. True, for the primary occupation it has to be one-year full-time continuous experience. However, for non-primary occupations that are used simply to calculate points for the selection criteria, the experience does NOT need to be continuous or over one-year. Please correct me if I am wrong.

(4) In my understanding, for FSW NOC category, your primary occupation needs to be continuous AND fulfill the hour requirement of 1560 (i.e., equivalent to one-year of experience) in order for your application to be eligible for processing. For calculating the points for work experience, however, my experience is that they count work experiences that are NOT continuous and LESS THAN ONE YEAR. Please correct me if I am incorrect.

(5) For my work experience that does NOT belong to my primary occupation, can I list more than one NOC code for them if they may fall into other category? I heard that people cannot list more than one occupation for a work experience. However, I am not very sure.

I would appreciate if you may answer one or more of my above questions. I have been rejected twice and thus I do not want to re-apply repeatedly. Thank you!

Why do you need to paraphrase job duties as much as possible?
 
In my experience with the visa officer, they love to do things quick, for example, rejecting a letter because it does not match lead statement and/or main duties. For Research and Teaching Assistant post, they may reject the letter because you do not have things like "assist professors to ...", which is in the lead statement of the corresponding occupation in NOC website.
