Hello guys,

I have arrived to Canada and started my studt at UofT in Janauary 2007 and I have applied - Buffalo, July, 2007 and got AOR - Aug 09, 2007. Then, on AUG 14, I recived a letter requesting the Englist profieciany test IELTS.
On Oct 23, they sent me another letter requesting RCMP check based on fingrprint.

I have some questions here:
1-Should I make this RCMP check for me and my wife? They didn´t mention anything about her in the letter but I guess she has the same situation as me.
2-By sending this letter to me, does it mean that they started a "real" processing or assessment of my application? I mean by real that gives me points upon my application not just checking if somthing missing.

Note : I have applied before completing 6 months in Canada

Thank you in advance

Ahmed

Nope, you submitted an incomplete application No Ielts, No PCCs, they are being nice and not just returning the application.

Hi PMM
Thank you for your reply
However, I don't think that they are "being nice" because they mentioned in the guide that it is "recommended" to submit the test but they give another option of wirting a letter and supporting documents for my Eng prof.
In the application, there is a space to mention which method you use to show your Eng Prof.
Do you still think that I submitted incomplete application ??
Thank you again
Ahmed

Yes. Most offices, if not all insist on either IELTS or CELPIP for english as too many applicants wrote glowing letters about their english proficiency and how they used it, and then at interview, they required an interpreter. As the IO no longer makes the English assessment (or French for that matter) at interview, the test is the way to go. Also you didn't include all your PCCs as per the instructions.

Hi PMM
Thank you again for your reply.
I am really happy to find such a proffisional answers as quick as this.
If you mean police certificate by "PPC", I already have sent them my Egyptian and Japanese police certificates which are all countries that I have stayed for more than 6-month period. For Canada, I have applied before completing 6 month here.
Hope that I am OK now ....lol
