Grimreaper & SmGrGe:

I have concluded the following from my experiences:

For any service to & from the Americas UPS & FEDEX are by far the best. This makes sense because both are American companies with extensive depots and sorting facilities all over North and South America.

DHL on the other hand, has excellent coverage in Europe as it is a subsidiary of Deutsche Post (Germany's national postal service). With DHL, you can get anything from Asia to Europe in a couple of days.

When it comes to shipping from Asia, or within Asian countries, all three are unacceptably slow due to their lack of frequent services between Asia and the west. However, within Asia or the Middle East you can get reasonable service from local players like TCS, TNT, Aramex etc.

That is a very correct observation... I agree..

Are we done gentlemen ? May I please request everybody to hold on to your seats and have patience.Go back to my old post and that still stands valid. This forum does not represent 100% of the applicants for 1122.

Not to mislead anybody here but I heard from my pal from South Africa that his credit card has been encashed. If I remember it correctly then his application was recd 3-4 days before mine. Mind you CC/BD encashment means NOTHING. You can get jettisoned at any point in the process. So please don't count your chickens before they are hatched. This was for those whose CC/BD were encashed.

So gentlemen, for those who don't know if their applications were complete or not and still hinging on the age old theory rounding here about 8th July cap, please pray that your apps are not on way back due to incompleteness. There is a very strong likelihood of this happening. And for rest my gut feel says that till July 20th-23rd the apps have made it to Cap. Time will tell us.

Till then can we have some lighter moments please !

Cheers

Hello Bin,
Why do you mean by Cheers? I thought your are against that!

Hi there, do you know what kind of communication exactly? I checked out the Canada Skilled worker site and it says by e-mail or by mail. What is nerve wracking is that it may go to your junk mail and you don't even realize it!

Dear Tracesg,
you need to add the two email IDs below to your contacts list, this way they will defenetly end up in your inbox or better yet in a folder that you specify.
CIO-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca
FSW-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca

 

[Big O]

Its all fake. When CIC return file they give file no. and the matter is also different in other formate.

Are you going to attack everyone who posts a reply on a returned app bc of Cap Reached! it won't change anything.

 

[Big O]

They never write:
FORMATE OF CAP REACHED LETTER IS LIKE THAT ,

INSERT LETTERHEAD
Our Ref.:
INSERT ADDRESS

LOL, good spirit

 

[Big O]

Guys,

Let's accept the fact for 1122 and try to move on...for all people who still have hope...can anyone tell me why cic stopped cc/bd charging for the last two weeks...its very clear...its over

The weird thing is that there is no news of ANY encashment at all, even from other NOCs. Did anyone hear about CC/DD encashed from other NOCs in other pages of the forum??

 

[Big O]

if the noc 1122 has reached the cap on 8th of July..then Its also possible that noc 3152 might reached the cap by july16-20? :'( :-X

Possible.

 

[Big O]

Okay, just to clarify, CIC didnt send me an email themselves. I sent them an email requesting them to update the status of my application since it has been more than 6 weeks. In reply they sent me an email stating that my application was returned due to cap.

Also just to clarify I am not trying to create any panic. I have been following this forum, and i was also scared when i saw that 8th july application was returned due to cap. I also prayed it was a mistake, but now that I received the email I know for sure.

The only reason I mentioned it in the forum is bcos like me, I figured others would want information since CIC is not providing it.

Also this is my 3rd attempt, first my application was returned due to missing spouse birth certificate, second time due to cap and now again due to cap. My consultant delayed it because she had to go out of station, otherwise i was ready to send it by 30th june. But due to selfish consultants like her I got screwed a third time.

thank you for sharing the information, you did the right thing. Never mind the day dreamers who refuse to see the truth until it hits them in the face.

I am sorry to hear your story, it is not fair that you chance of applying was taken from you due to your consultant stupidity. there should known better and you should get your money back.

 

[Big O]

If you have oppionted the consultant than how you can talk with cic directly ? If you appiont representative than on your behalf only representative can communicate with cic. And one more thing please don't mislead other on this forum. I know you get furstated b'coz you can make the cap on time but please don't make panic situation. ONLY REPRESENTATIVE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH CIC.
CIC NEVER REPLY THE MAILS WITH OUT THE FILE NUMBER. REPLY MEANS NEVER GIVE THE DICIUSSION ON MAIL OR CALL BEFORE FILE NO. COMES.

I think his/her consultant is making him/her a fool to avoid a refund . and he is living in fools paradise. he is always coming up with strange n stupid claims having no grounds. According to his claim that only consultant can contact then I think only consultant has the right to give you your Passport after it is stamped or even he can have your PR caz he has the right of everything about u.hahahaha LOL

Business leaders have been saying for years Newfoundland and Labrador is moving from having too many workers and not enough work to having too much work and not enough workers.
Now they have the numbers to prove it.
This province is expected to have 70,000 job openings in the next 10 years and will likely struggle to fill the majority of those positions.
These predictions come from the much anticipated release of the Newfoundland and Labrador Labour Market: Outlook 2020.
Darin King, minister of human resources and employment, called the outlook’s predictions a powerful tool for employers, labour and government.
“This kind of information is vital to better match job seekers with available job opportunities,” King told a group of community leaders and reporters Wednesday.
“It will help job seekers and students better prepare for their careers and opportunities available here in the province. And it will help ensure our employers have access to the skilled workforce they need to compete in a global marketplace,” he said.
The document paints a rosy picture for employment in Newfoundland and Labrador over the next decade, although with a few exceptions.
Job availability is expected to peak in 2015 and then start a decline as mega projects are completed.
Job opportunities in sectors such as health and the sciences are expected to remain strong through 2020.
Other sectors such as the fishery and most of the sectors related to the arts are expected to remain consistent or decline slightly in terms of available jobs.
The three sectors with the highest projected need for labour are utilities, health care and trades, followed closely by manufacturing, accommodations, food service, transportation and warehousing, and mining.
According to the outlook this province will need more workers of all skill and education levels over the course of the decade in order to keep up with workforce demand.
But meeting those demands will be a challenge.
According to the document the number of working age people (15-to 64 years old) in the province declined by 19.2 per cent in the first decade of the century. The same age group is expected to decline by another 19.4 per cent by 2020. The downward trend is expected to accelerate as the decade goes on.
King said the key to coping with the coming labour shortage will involve a combination of ideas. Such as encouraging older workers to stay in the workforce longer or start second careers, giving expatriate residents incentives to work in their home province, attracting newcomers from other provinces and immigration.
But first and foremost, the government’s priority is to make sure Newfoundland and Labrador residents get first crack at the opportunities associated with a high demand labour market.
“With such vast opportunity abounding the province, we see this as an era of great prosperity for our people and one that everyone must make an effort to seize,” said King.
But what is an opportunity for people in the job market is a challenge for employers.
Fortunately, most companies have been expecting a labour crunch for some time now, said Richard Alexander, executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Employers Council.
“It’s no surprise and it’s what we’ve been saying for many many years,” said Alexander.
He said what the outlook does for employers is give them solid projections on issues like what sectors will see the most growth and who will be hardest hit by retirements.
It’s valuable information for the companies the council represents, said Alexander.
“Employers can use that to make good strong strategic decisions about their business. So the challenge for us now is to make sure we can compete for these jobs across Canada. There’s work to be done on that and we’re going to be pushing government to do more and working with government to try and make us more competitive on our taxation environment,” said Alexander.
According to the outlook, wages in many sectors across the province are also likely to increase, something Lana Payne, president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Labour, said was essential to fixing the shortage.
“I think we have to sit down and realize that we have to be competitive on wages otherwise we won’t keep people here,” said Payne.
“We’re not just competing with employers in our own province we’re competing with employers in other parts of the country as well,” said Payne.
Alexander agrees.
“Wage inflation is going to be a significant challenge for employers in this province. We’re going to see wages going towards the Alberta situation. That’s going to present challenges for small, medium and even large employers,” he said.
But while some organizations seemed happy with the outlook numbers, opposition critic Marshall Dean said huge issues are facing the province.
In a news release, he stated, while the report predicts job growth the majority of those positions will be in the high paying health sector and the low paying service/retail sectors.
Dean also noted the outlook predicts only 7,700 of the 70,000 jobs will be new. About 89 per cent of the projected positions will be opened by retirements and attrition.
“It is expected that by 2020, just nine years from now, the number of people in our province who are 65 years of age or older will have grown by 45 per cent,” said Dean.
“That means fewer working age people in the workforce contributing taxes to pay for the huge increases in health costs that are coming and for the steep hikes in electricity rates due to Muskrat Falls,” he said.
