Thanks.
I've applied for a skilled immigrant visa. My travel history is pretty extensive. I've lived in the U.A.E, U.K & am a sea farer now & posses a U.S. --- C1 D visa. My Ielts scores were somewhere around 9. Overall points were just above the minimum requirement. I do not have any family members in Canada.
I did my process through an agent which I wouldn't recommend at all. They absolutely didn't care to submit my application or follow up on its progress. I was unable to view my application status on the cic website & sent a mail to them regarding the same & then after a couple of months I could view my status & thankfully received the letter for medicals. Since i have an appointed representative, all intimation comes through them.
I sent this email to both the london & delhi address out of desperation. London replied in about 4 days while dehli took over a month to reply.
