New Process

[GeorgeJoseph]

Hi All, just a quick question......

Previously, we had to send our initial application with initial fee payment alone to the CIO (nova scotia, canada) for initial screening. After successful screening, we use to send a new application filled once again with ALL THE SUPPORTING DOCS cum the second round of fees to the local visa office (say New Delhi visa office, india).

But now, looks like the process is completely changed. I heard that we need to first send the application with the FULL SUPPORTING DOCS, initial fees to the CIO (nova scotia, canada). Later after a successful validation/ screening, we need to send the new application (again filled freshly) with the second round of fees to Local Visa office (without any supporting docs). Hope i am rite. Please correct me, if i am wrong in any way....hope nothing else is changed in the process other than what i have mentioned over here.......Please help.

So in this case (new process), how does ALL SUPPORTING DOCS go to the Local Visa office (say New Delhi, India)........I am asking this question because, i assume that only the local visa office does all the type of checks.. background, education, work experience, etc etc ....etc.......and Nova Scotia office will just do an initial screening which spans for just 2-3 months time.....am i rite ?.......so, please throw some lite on this............Please advice..waiting for your reply very anxiously. Thanking you once again.

rgds, Geo

1- Now you ve to sent all forms mentioned in www.cic.gc.ca to CIO alongwith all supprting docs mentioned in your VO checklist except police clearance certificate which will be later requested by your visa office... hope it clarifies..

Thanks Haral!!

So, do you mean to say that there is no need for a second time/ round of application for the local visa office or a second round of fee payment ??? The initially Applicaiton & the Supporting docs sent to CIO (nova scotia, canada) will be transferred directly to the local visa office by themselves. ???? There is only one payment altogether ???

please help sir.

This is the first step.

1- Forms + all docs mentioned in your VO checklist except police certificates + processing fee (550 CAD per adult and 150 CAD per minor)

You get your AOR which means CIO has accepted your app and it falls under 1000 apps per classified occupation as well as 20000 apps per year (rule change on 26th june.. plz refer to www.cic.gc.ca for this) The letter includes next step which will probably be to submit police clearance certificates.

2- ViSA office gets your file from CIO......... they send additional doc request which can be police certificate of CIO`s letter does nt mention that.

3- VO sends medical request + RPRF (right of permanent residence fee (490 CAD per adult... fee for minors is waived off)

4- VO sends passport request.

5- VO sends back passport with Visa s and landing papers.

Hope it gives u better idea.

Thanks Haral!!
