Hi sye_canada!

Up to now waiting parin for snailmail PER, sana dumating na by end of November.
Good luck sa ating lahat!
Under CIC agency ako. ;D

Hi,
Snail mail na ba pinapadala ang PER ngayon and not thru email? Hinihintay ko din kase yun sakin.. Pero im expecting for an email.. Thank you

 

[cnd_2014]

Congrats CND! Finally, long wait is over. How inspiring...
Galing! no document request. Meaning very well prepared talaga application package mo.
Iba pa din talaga pag DIY.
I salute you bro!!!
Pagbutihin mo na lang medical exam.
Sana mahawa kami sa positive vibes.
Praise be to God...

Hello sarah, yes finally. grabe ang pag aantay. Patience talaga.hehe
Opo no doc requested. Only MR and RPRF.
Yes talagang grabe ang paghihirap sa DIY na yan, I cant imagine, but with the help of our good kabayans, they made the load lighter.

Yup bukas dapat medical na. Pa-appoint ng umaga. Sana pumayag hapon ang medical, otherwise tues na hehe
Praise to God talaga.
God bless on your apps. Next ka na

Hi if you included your correct email address sa application form, you will receive it in your email. Pag mali yun nalagay mo email or nakalimutan mo lagay dun sa form, you will get your PER thru snail mail that could take around 1.5-2 months ata before it reaches your home address. Goodluck!

Hi has anyone ever experience this?? I need help

I just emailed both MANILIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca and manil.immigration@international.gc.ca to send my RPRF receipt and other docs as attachments.

At first I got a confirmation receipt email saying:

"We confirm receipt of your email to the Manila Visa Office"

After around 1 minute, I got another mail saying:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
MANILIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca
"The recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now".

I've attached 4 docs and total size is 3.3MB (each file is below 2MB). Is there a limit on the total size?

I am worried if nareceive ba talaga nila or hindi yung email ko.

Is there a phone number I can call them just to confirm if they received it? What is your advise po.

Thank you! God bless

Hi!

Yes they received it on manil.immigration@international.gc.ca
Unfortunately, there are no nos. to call them. You just have to wait for their call. Magffollow up po yan si CEM in case wala pa silang narerecive na email from you. So chill... They got your email.

The MANILIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca is the one they use for sending out emails. But for replies and correspondence, you should be using manil.immigration and that will automatically give you auto replies that says they already received your email.

Hope this helps.
goodluck!!!

Hi Andy!

Very helpful indeed. I also suspect that they received it in manil.immigration but not in MANILIMMIGRATION since I didnt receive "Undeliverable Report" from manil.immigration but only from MANILIMMIGRATION.

First I've sent an email to MANILIMMIGRATION, and got "Undeliverable Report" from this email.

Second I've sent an email to manil.immigration and got an "Undeliverable Report" from MANILIMMIGRATION. Just weird hehe :

Thanks ulit! I hope they respond that they got the attachments. I will also be able to confirm that if my Home Address in ECAS has changed to the new home address since nasa email attachment yung new address ko.

Thanks Andy! God bless you!

3012 vs 3233 guide

I've been receiving lots of PMs from 3012 and 3233 aspirants. For the benefit of all, I am posting this guide to appease the minds of those who have submitted and to those who are planning to submit as 3233.
____________________________________________

Is it safe to apply as 3012 now?

IMHO, no. I am assuring you that if you submit as 3012 now, you will not have peace of mind because of the CAP. Current numbers for 3012 and 3233 are 561 and 39 respectively. Online predictions say that 3012 will fill up by December 2014 but I have huge doubts over it.

Take note of what happened to 2171 this week. It jumped from 500+ to Cap reached. Although the processing was somehow expedited due to the bulk of applications they are receiving from that NOC code. This could give you an idea of how 3012 will become.

It is the first time in the history of FSW that the nursing profession was divided into four categories: 3233 for the LPNS, 3012 for the generic nurses, 3011 for the head nurses and supervisors, and 0311 for the Chief Nurses/Directors of Nursing. Last 2011, the NOC code for nurses was just for 3012 (It was a different NOC code number though. I forgot.) and was only limited to 300 slots. Majority of nurses were surprised that the nursing profession came back to FSW this year. That's why in the first few months of the program, only few applicants were submitting. Now that 6 months have passed news has spread all over the world. For sure, lots of nurses have already prepared their ECA and IELTS and has already lodged. With this on hand, are you sure you want to gamble your chances with the CAP?

Why is 3233 parallel to 3012?

If you look at the HRSDC JD for 3233, there are lots of similarities with 3012 and 3233 especially for 3012 staff nurses with hospital experience.

http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=3233

Let's take a look:

Licensed practical nurses perform some or all of the following duties:

•Provide nursing services, within defined scope of practice, to patients based on patient assessment and care planning procedures
•Perform nursing interventions such as taking vital signs, applying aseptic techniques including sterile dressing, ensuring infection control, monitoring nutritional intake and conducting specimen collection
•Administer medication and observe and document therapeutic effects
•Provide pre-operative and post-operative personal and comfort care
•Monitor established respiratory therapy and intravenous therapy
•Monitor patients' progress, evaluate effectiveness of nursing interventions and consult with appropriate members of healthcare team
•Provide safety and health education to individuals and their families.

Operating room technicians perform some or all of the following duties:

•Prepare patients for surgery by washing, shaving and sterilizing the patients' operative areas
•Assist in surgery by laying out instruments, setting up equipment, assisting surgical teams with gowns and gloves and passing instruments to surgeons
•Clean and sterilize the operating room and instruments.

As you can see, those that are highlighted in bold are the usual JDs of 3012 applicants with hospital experience.

Can I apply as 3233 even if my job title is "Staff Nurse"?

Yes you can! The job title is not of much value to the IO unless of course your title is "Resident Physician" and your JD is for 3233. That's a different story. This has been discussed and considered a fact by lots of members of the international thread. A living example is Willow05 who is a 3233 applicant and has job title of "Staff Nurse" and already is in PER stage.

How can I create the perfect Job Description?

The JD will be reviewed by an IO who will use the JDs found on the HRSDC website. Think of it as an upper hand when it comes to creating your JD.

The IO is not a specialist. He/she is a generalist who will use common sense/logic in reviewing your JD. Avoid using heavy jargons with your JD.

50% match is what is usually suggested in the international thread but I think it's best to go for 70-80%.

Keywords and rephrasing are the key to creating the perfect JD along with fillers on the side to make it seem legit and not copied.

For example:

3233 HRSDC website official JD:

Administer medication and observe and document therapeutic effects.

Take note of keywords in this phrase highlighted in bold. Take these keywords and rephrase the whole thing to something like:

Administers medication to patients within his/her assigned unit and documents any effects on the patient's chart.

Rinse and repeat.

How can I make sure I have created the perfect JD for 3233?

Post it on the international thread and await for a response by a senior member.

E-mail your JD to noc-cnp @ workingincanada.gc.ca and noc @ workingincanada.gc.ca (remove spaces). They will respond in a few days with what they think your NOC code should be. The e-mail reply could be printed and submitted along with your application for more conviction.

You could start your letter with something like:

To Whom It May Concern,

I am planning to apply to Canada's FSW 2014 program and I would like to inquire

whether my job description applies to NOC code XXXX.

Hi meegoreng!

Kung DIY ka, via email mo marereceive PER mo and if kung under consultancy agency ka particularly CIC, there's a big chances na sa snailmail mo matatanggap after 30-40days from date of charging.

 

[#winterpeg]

#winterpeg, Goodluck po, most probably po darating na po yang sa inyo next week . CIC rin po ako (ano pong NOC nyo?)Sabi po sa processing dept ng CIC 1 month daw po thru snail mail. Di po ba nila nilalagay ang email natin sa mga application? And advise rin po pala nila once nareceive, send a scanned copy to your agent.

Thank you sye_canada! ;D
Anyway NOC 3012 ako. I have included my email address dun sa generic form pero according to CIC, all correspondence will be sent thru the representatives email account. Pero may mga kaforum mates tayo under CIC din nareceive nila PER thru snailmail, so im hoping na sana mareceive ko na yung sa akin by end of november. Don't lose hope, more prayers, more patience in waiting pa darating din yan. goodluck! Basta update ka lang sa forum pag may good news na sa application mo.

 

[manila_kbj]

@bosschips napakalaking tulong nito para sa ating mga kababayan. +1 for you.

 

[tingskie]

Finally, after almost a month of agony binigyan na kami ng CEM ng third line! 3 weeks din inaral ang case ng son ko and thanks God OK na and medical namin.

TY sa mga encouraging words nina nathan_drake28, mickeyboy at A-Cheng. I stay away from FB page and forum for a while dahil sa sobrang paranoia na naramadaman ko.

TY God!

Sa lahat, PRAYER and PATIENCE lang talaga.

Hi meegoreng!

Under CIC Consultancy din ako pero sa email ko nareceive PER ko.
I think yung mga affected heavily is yung batch ng June 16 or earlier.
June 25 applicant ako.
Sa mga later applicant I think wala ng issue, kasi sa ecas ko updated na din ang address to reflect CIC sa mailing address.
