Need urgent advice on CEC visa - (NOA and ENG test)

[Barryronan86]

Looking for help, your advice would be greatly appreciated,

I became eligible for the Experience Canada Class visa since January when they reduced the work experience to a year. It states however that I must apply within one year of leaving my job which was end of January 2012. Which means I only have this month to get it in. Which was possible only for the fact that i delayed doing the english test and now the soonest I can have that completed and have results back is early February, bringing me over the time.

Another thing that's killing me is the NOA for the taxes. I didn't file my taxes for 2011 stupidly, I only owe the tax office 200$ but it just slipped my mind. So even if I did my taxes now, it will take 6 months to get these back. And just reading other comments on this forum, I must file my taxes for January 2012, so maybe I could do 2011 and 2012 all together.

Do you think I can send my application off without these 2 things with an explanation letter stating I will send it in as soon as possible or am I pissing against the wind? Do you think they will process mine or will it just be a waste of time and money for me?

If I was better prepared, I wouldnt be having these issues, but unfortunately I not, I would love more than anything to head back to Canada so I may as well try and this visa is my best chance.

Please advise.

Thank you

you might be able to manage with the taxes, but CIC will not accept the application without the English test score report. It will be returned.

I don't know what to suggest, other than trying to find an alternative test date.

For any future hope of applying for PR in Canada, get your taxes filed ASAP. I would file the 2011 return immediately, don't wait for the 2012.

Thanks for repyling Jes. This may be a stupid question but it says I must apply within a year of leaving my job. Its unlikely they would accept it in 6 months time when I have my ENG test and NOA. I could get the ENG test by early Feb but the taxes is another story.

Kind Regards,

Barry

You will be fine without NOA... Just submit T4 then NOA when you have it.

Thank you, Thats good to know. Do you know anything about the time limits. If I apply a day over a year since leaving my job, is that me immediately disqualified. (all closest ENG tests are booked out)

Probably. That's generally how the rules are applied. Note that the relevant date is the date your application package is RECEIVED at CIO-Sydney, not the date you send it.

Phone ielts. That's what I did and I got on the next scheduled test that was booked up on the site. Hope for some cancellations!!
