Hello all,

1. Did anyone e-mail CIC (Sydney, Nova Scotia) and get a real response (not just an autorespone)? If so, what e-mail address did you use and how many days did it take them to respond? I only got an autoresponse via CIO‑Sydney‑Search‑Enquiry@cic.gc.ca and FSW-Centralized_Intake-Office@cic.gc.ca, stating that my e-mail permanently failed. This happened twice.
2. Aside from 1-613-944-4000 and 1-888-242-2100, do you know of other CIC phone numbers for their Sydney, Nova Scotia office?
3. Aside from (63-2) 857-9000, do you know of other CEM numbers? I've read before that CEM also uses a Globe number. Can somebody please share it?
4. Aside from my police certificate, what other documents should I prepare that CEM could possibly request?
5. What does AOR stand for?

Thanks a lot!

Hello!!! I'm just waiting for my WES report scheduled to be completed on nov 12,2014. I am worried that NOC 3012 might reach the cap by the time my application reach the CIO. Is there any other NOC i can apply for to be safe?

Hello everyone! I have a question. For those who used BPI as their credit card, do i have to call and Inform them about a possible charging from cic? Or will BPI automatically charge the credit without informing the client as long as it doesn't exceed the limit? Thank you!

hello dcatolos, i used BPI cc. i suggest that you call and inform them that you are expecting an international transaction from CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION FSW SY CA and request them to allow it. better to be safe. ako, tumawag and nagemail at the same time para sure. so far nacharged naman cc ko.

goodluck sayo and God bless...

Good morning sa lahat! Another exciting week, hopefully lahat ng hinihintay ninyo ay mareceive na. :)

Share ko lang:

1. Got my 2nd line in ECAS last Saturday afternoon (Friday morning ko nareceive ang MR).

2. Nareceive ko na yung reply ng CIO nung nag-inquire ako sa kanila about the status of my application (using CIO-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca). I sent the inquiry last August 31 (take note: I got charged - September 11, PER - September 18) so hindi ko na inexpect ang reply nila. Hindi ko pa kasi alam tong forum that time kaya clueless ako sa timeline ng process. Kung alam ko lang nun, hinintay ko na lang din sana yung CC charge hehe. Got their reply last October 18: "Your file was reviewed by our office and an email was sent to you on 18 Sept 2014. Your file has been transferred to the visa office in Manila. Please direct further enquiries to that office." So meaning magrereply pa din sila kahit anong mangyari. Kaya sa mga naghihintay ng reply from CIO, konting abang lang po. :) Pansin ko lang na medyo tumagal sila magreply kasi halos 1 1/2 months na yun.

Newbie in this forum... Bakit late ko ng nalaman yung ganitong forum... anyway, hopefully someone can help me out on my concerns....

I applied under NOC 1111 (Financial Auditors & Accountants) last May 29, 2014. Due to busy schedule as an Accountant, I hired a consultant. Obviously I know that nothing beats "DIY" work on your own application and after reading the posts from the forums.

However, until now my DD has not been charged yet as of September 15, 2014. By the way, BPI is very helpful in updating me if my DD has been charged. Hopefully by next week they will have a result on my DD as of September 30 or later date.

Also, I already emailed CIC several times and the reply may take at least another 30 days. I even tried the CAIPS immigration File check but I will get the results by November.

What makes me skeptical on my consultant is that I was informed that all of their submitted FSW applications have no UCI yet. Obviously, when I checked this forum, there's a trending of PERs.

Question: I want to do DIY on my application, I'm planning to re-submit before December 31 (it's another shot to take but better try), how can I get a duplicate copy of my TRF (IELTS)? They don't issue another one unless you apply to the likes of CIC, but what documentary proof should I present to them? I also read a posts that an attested copy will do and just tell CIC that I already sent the original IELTS earler? Is it ok to re-submit while waiting for the first one?

Hopefully I can still get a PER from Canada. Australia has been easier for me to immigrate but I pray that I also can get positive results from Canada...
Hello Gabbana, IDP ka ba nag-ielts? Kasi ang ginawa ko is I printed the "Documents Checklist" for FSW kasi diba nakaindicate dun na they need the original copy of IELTS result. Tapos yun yung sinubmit ko as proof together with the application form for a duplicate copy. It's better kung magrequest ka ng duplicate copy at isama sa application package to be sure. Madali naman kumuha ulit. :)

If your police certificate is still valid, you just need to send them the original, kasi that's one of the requirements. Valid pa naman, right? Yan lang ang kailangan malamang :)
Hi ppmom, thank you sa laging pagsagot, +1 for you hehe. Congrats ngapala sa PPR! :) Wala kasing nakalagay sa PCC ng validity date. Ang meron lang is yung kinuha siya last November 18 (18 pala not 13), 2013. Kaya we're wondering kung ano ang validity nya, not sure kasi kung lahat ba ng PCC is may standard na 1 year validity. Alanganin ang date pag nagkataon. Nagsend na lang ako sa CEM ng email (manil.immigration@international.gc.ca - tama diba?)to clarify kung pwede na yun. Pero if ever they need a new one, sabi ko I have to ask for extension kasi it will take longer processing time. Sana maawa at wag na kami pakuhanin ng bago since mukhang nagmamadali na sila hahaha! :)

Anyone here who knows the validity of Australia PCC? Nakita ko kasi sa websites ng mga AU (Western AU and Victoria) Police:
Q: How long is a National Police Certificate valid?
A National Police Certificate is current as of the date of issue therefore WA Police imposes no period of validity; it is up to employers and organisations to determine the currency of a National Police Certificate that they will accept.

So it's up to CEM ang validity. I would like to believe na ok na yun para hindi na kami kumuha ng bago. Thank you. :)
