Hi Vicor Papa,
I am preparing to send my application to CIO as I have been nominated by MPNP on July 24th, 2015. Now, I am gathering all necessary papers according to the check list for provincial nomination program. However, the CIC didn't ask to submit Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Japan ( I lived there for 5 years). Rather CIC said, for PCC from Japan they will ask later to submit. I have already applied for PCC from Japan and it will take another 2.5 months. But I would like to submit my application to CIO by the first week of next month as by that time I will get all documents in my hand, except PCC from Japan. I have few specific query to know from you:
1. Should I submit an explanation letter along with my application to CIO about the PCC from Japan?
2. My IELTS will expire on October, 20, 2015. My occupation is NOC 2148, other professional engineers. Do they ask me to resubmit IELTS?
3. Which courier service will be the best to send my applicatoin to CIO, NS. Currently I am living in Beijing, China?
4. Which point should I check before submitting my application so that there may not any missing information?
Sorry to bother you by asking too many questions. Waiting for your valuable advices/comments. Wish you a very pleasant moment.
Best regards,
Eusufzai
Hello my friend,
1) As I know, it is not necessary to submit explanation letter about your Japan PCC and they will ask for it in the further steps.
2) NO, I think they won't ask you for a new valid IELTS.
3) It is not really important because all of the couriers will deliver your package to CIO correctly at the end but there are some minor issues like delay delivery and incorrect online tracking system with some of them. As I heard UPS and FEDEX are better than others for CIO delivery. If they are not available there, as I said it is not important and you can choose every one is available in your area.
4) DO these:
- Follow PNP checklist and read their instruction carefully:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EP7TOC.asp
- Download latest version of forms and fill them(don't use old version of forms).
- Fill "N/A" in empty fields inside your form as they mentioned in their instructions.
- It is really important to double check any names,dates and signatures inside your forms because if there will be any missing signature in one form, they will easily return back your whole application to you and it will take a long time to resend them again.
- Another important item is your application processing Fees. I suggest you to pay your fees online and then send payment receipt with your application because if you send payment form with credit card payment method, if there will be any problem en-cashing the fee, they will return your application to you and it will cause further delays.
- If you are going to send your package with a courier, use this street address instead of their PO BOX address:
Citizenship & Immigration Canada
Provincial Nominee Program
Centralized Intake Office
49 Dorchester Street
Sydney, NS B1P 5Z2
Canada
Good Luck.
