ask your courier how long it will take to send the documents from here to nova scotia. usually, it's around 2-3 working days for DHL and 3-5 working days for LBC. you can send the documents next week before july 1 depending on which courier you'll use.
Hi EZ, thanks for the info.
What I'm trying to figure out is when is the best time to send my documents to NS?
If I send earlier than July 1, 2012, ie. June 29, would they consider the date when evaluating my papers? Because as per policy, they have cut offs and they will just start processing applications on or after every July 1st of the year...
As per the barcode issue, I think the date is also reflected there, so If I validate my papers before July 1, they might reject it even if they're going to receive it after July 1? Any idea about that scenario? thanks!

hmmm... if that's the case, it would be best to print, sign the forms, and submit the documents on july 1. i was under the impression that you can send it before july 1 as i've read in some posts that some people have already completed their forms and one immigration consultancy firm (forgot the name) suggested to send the documents earlier because of the quotas per occupation.

@experts
if someone knows, please confirm if the forms should be validated / signed on or after july 1?

Hi Ez,

You can validate,print and sign your papers even before july 1..CIO don't count your paper as to what is written on the file but rather on when they receive it..you just have to make sure that they receive it july 1 onwards..if they will receive it on june 30 or 31st...they will count is as to the previous processing and automatically send it back to you...

Now for when is the best time to send it...you have to weigh in some factors,if you send it before july 1..and you are pretty sure that it will arrive on july 1 exactly..at complete documents,points,job match etc...definitely pasok ka kahit kunyari 500 lang ang quota at 1000 kayong pumasa sa processing..kasi nga as per OP6..they count the applications as per date of receipt...however when on july 1 ka magsesend ng papers, you will fear na sa dami ng nagaaply at sa konti ng quota papasok ka ba??lalo na almost 4-5 days dumadating yung papers natin...sabihin man nilang 3-4 days..yung sa friend ko nga naligaw pa...lucky lang tlga sya kasi umabot pa sa last day pero ang good thing dito sa july 1 nagaanounce ang CIO ng bagong rules,terms at occupational list..so kung may bago silang hingin you can still add it on your application unlike kung intransit na ang papers mo...

Sorry kung hindi kita mabigyan ng definite answer..everything is a risk in everything we do..I just want you prepared..Goodluck..Ask lang kayong mga newbies how to apply sa mga seniors dito..very helpful sila..preparing your own application is already a step on preparing your self to the Canadian life..it comprises of, patience,perseverance,research and strong will to face any challenges...

@ sushicat
many thanks for the explanation. i guess need na lang namin maghintay for the new ministerial instructions before sending it. hopefully kasama pa rin yung NOC 1122 and walang additional requirements.

@ theatan
if the new ministerial instructions are announced earlier and the requirements / eligible occupations remain unchanged, maybe we can send out our applications by the 29th since june 30 and july 1 are weekends (some couriers i asked confirmed that they deliver only during weekdays / working days). i think it's best to use DHL or UPS since those are known internationally.

@ anyone
i'm not sure if there's a negative impact if the principal applicant is unemployed as of the moment. if someone knows, appreciate it if you can share.

@theatan
alam ko self-addressed mailing labels lang yung nakalagay sa checklist. and about sa NOC, list down mo lang yung occupations na may NOC code and rank it kung saan na NOC mo gusto ka iassess.
