but It only has one line .."we received ur app "..nothing more..
Why are they not updating it? the per letter date..the file transfer..etc..

jijitipie ...try to manage without touching your POF. As possie said you will need them at the time of landing.

Hi, alain. You should be getting your MR in no time.

I've only had one employer in the NOC (Registered Nurse) I used for my application. My other jobs before were completely unrelated to 3152 and are not even in the 29 listed occupations. The main reason I could think of why they're looking for my GSI records: Could it be because I took up nursing as a second course? Perhaps they are thinking I might have been a "volunteer" nurse (even though I provided my employment certificate with compensation) . If that's the case, then I will provide them my Government Service Insurance records and contributions as requested.

My friend who was scheduled for an interview in January was also asked to bring her Social Security records (self-employed)to the CEM. She took up nursing as a second course, too. I don't know if that has anything to do with the requisition SS/GSI records.

Regards to everyone.

Hmm Ok. I don't think it has anything to do with nursing being your second course. With the context that you provided, I now understand why CEM has asked for more evidence of full-time employment. Since you only have a single employer for your qualifying NOC, they understandably have to be thorough in the conduct of verification checks to make sure you are in fact eligible. Because of the oversupply situation in the country, I think it has become common practice for inexperienced nurses to claim FSW eligibility by passing-off their volunteer experience as paid full-time work experience. CEM is proceeding on the side of caution.

You don't have a problem. You should be able to simply sail through any further verification checks, including the interview, with your GSIS records. To be on the safe side, bring along any other evidence of employment such as payslips, personnel action memos (like change in shift schedules, commendation letters), etc.

Good luck. Don't worry. You are not the only late-term career-shifter in the applicant list. My aunt studied nursing as a second course when she was >45. She made it to Canada.

just want to share this experience of my neighbor.

he applied under aeo, works for a beach resort (although just recently but he claimed meeting no. of years required). he had an interview via mobile phone and was asked if he has an sss (since he was employed privately). he was not able to give an sss no, since he has none. so he replied he doesnt have an sss. then he was told how come he didnt have one if he is employed? ending...he got denied...

this is one of the reasons y cem requires such documents/evidences: to prove employment. to determine the points they will give u for the required no. of yrs of work experience.

Right, westpoint.

A private employer who does not collect and remit SSS contributions is not a legitimate company. It is also in violation of labor law.

Hi there
On a forum from qorax it states that you must have proof of funds to support yourself and family when you land in Canada, so it seems you will still need this money or prove you have it in a canadian bank account for your landing interview.

Hope this helps

hello there.. Im single.. so Its just me who'll go there.. thanks for the advice.. you have a point.. The immigration officer might ask us any documents (including bank account) upon landing in Canada.. :)

Everybody please post your CAS status & CAS status details here for the spreadsheet.

Thanks.

CAS status shows in process, inside it shows "We received your permanent resident application on August 3rd".
 
Today I called CIO asking for my application the answer was:

Your Application was returned in 28/November/2011

but she did not mention what's the reason of returning as she said there is a cover letter sent with your application.

Good luck to all guys especially for other pharmacists.

Is the 3 months bank statement a requirement in the FSW application? What I know is that bank certficate will be just OK (no bank statement was mentioned in the EG7 guide). I did not included the bank statement in my application. ... Just asking :)

Hi my friend,
What I sent was a bank certificate stating the amount i have and for how long I have had it which i think it was enough cause I got PER.
Also, i have my bank statements with me so if they ask there is no problem to proove it.Hope it helps. Good luck.!!!!
