[abhihappy]

Hi Abhi, Can you please share your interview experience with us...if you already done somewhere else please tell me the thread....

Thanks
Ritu

I posted this last week, hope it will help...
I did my interview in Abu Dhabi, The letter they send was only for me and asked me to bring all the document, My wife just tagged along. When we reached there the VO asked if my wife was there and could she join.. and appologised that this was not included in the letter,The interview was a breeze. following tips for interview though
1. Know your educational certificates forward and backward, including subjects and marks
2.Have justifications ready for all the educational decisions in your life and how they have lead to where you are now and how they will help you going forward.
3. Know the places you have studied down to address of street level.
4. Know your job discription current and all else by heart.
5. Have a good and logical plan about what will you do once you land in canada , like study and know about any certification required for your job role and tell them you are working.
6. Dont and dont make any contraversial statement about your country of residence , citizenship against any race , religion or nationality.
7. Have all the document handy and clearly market
8. Bank statement

and then keep a smile on face and try to strike up conversation with VO about things in your persoanl life , tell him how you got married or, how you met your wife or what your child does which you love.....

Belive me they will write down every thing you say on your file, i found out when i got my capis note after the interview, everything i said was in there....spooky but true,

And dont be afraid to ask questions, remeber canada also equally needs you to fill its skills and pupulation gap..... so this is equal partnership...


Cheers

Hi Guys,

I hope you could help.

My VO is Sydney , Australia.

When i applied under FSW in March 2011 ,my spouce and I were on a Bridging VISA here is Australia.

In May 2011 my spouce's Permanent Risidency (for Australia) was refused becasue the ex employer gave wrong answers on the phone but there was no misrepresentation.

The reason given by the VO was " Not statisfied by your claim of having worked for XYZ" and we were given a chance to appeal but we didnt because we had already applied for Canada FSW.

After this I applied for Temporary Residency in Australia and it was approved. We are still in Australia.

I am awaiting PPR from Canada, " Medical Results have been received" line was added some 6.5 weeks ago.

I have just realised that we didnt update Canada of this Australian VISA refusal which happened after applying for the former.

What if VO would checked with their Australian counterparts and found out that we have been refused PR by Australia hence cause concerns in security clearance ?

We are worried because it has been more that 3 months since we took the medicals and there is still no sign of PPR.

I have holidayed in 8 countries in my life though.

What do you think is going on behind the scene ? Do they check only security at this stage or are they also going to check whether we have any rejected Visas ?

Or could they have already checked visa refusals etc before the medicals.

Thanks in advance

Normal Back Ground check do not necessary involve any Human Contact, but focus more on the International Data bases for known illegal entities or people wanted for some crime. Having said that Law in Canada is very clear which says that even if you have obtained PR and later it comes out that you had previously hidden Material information pertaining to your application , then your PR can be cancelled. You my friend are in a Perfect Catch 22 situation ,1st Option - If you decide to inform CHC now , CHC might consider that you have hidden the information and cancel your application, or might consider your point and decide to further investigate, which might drastically delay your application.
2nd - Option , You do not tell CHC about this now , but the underlying risk is that CHC might find out on its own and may cancel your application, or CHC does not find it now issues PR and Finds out later and then cancels your PR , or nothing happens and you get your Citizenship in due course.
It is going to be a very difficult decision for you to make

Are you nuts??? What exactly are you telling???? Listen chc has nothing to do with any other immigration applied what so ever..so you don't really need to tell them that your Australian immigration is cancelled what so ever.. And you are under no risk of any thing.. Believe me I know what I am saying... They guy who I am replying is simply making up things and they way he is putting it is wrong..

If i rememebr it correctly , you would have to mention in the application form that have you ever been denied citizenship /PR or visa by any country, so if you have been then you are legally required to mention it, PLease google to find out cases where PR were cancelled at alater date for providing wrong information /with holding information on the PR application. And what is this about being Nuts..., Language and decency.. if you disagree with me then you can just say so ,

Hahha dude growup...let me tell you the form doesn't asks for permanent resident visas applied,it simply asks for visa denials where you were denier because of some other reasons rather then point based system which in reality is not a denial at all in terms of chc..I was in the same situation and at my interview at chc they officer told me that they have nothing to do with what ever you have applied elsewhere etc so quite simply you are wrong in every aspect..and since you are putting a lot of weight on misrepresenting...where exactly is misrepresentaction?he was not denied when he filled those forms and at a later date chc do no care about such issues so technically no mis representation..... Kindly don't Harass potential immigrants with such replies in future..

On a second though, the Australian PR was refused 3 months after applying for FSW, so ideally at the point of signing the background declaration i was correct in saying that we have not been refused VISA/ Entry into a country if you know what i mean.

Moreover, when the VO sent us AOR and 2nd AOR, it was not mentioned in any of the two letters that we need to update them for visa refusals.

All they mentioned in the letters was update us if there is an adition/deletion in the family, change of job, address ect.

Will the unwritten law of commn sense prevail here ?

Is it implied that we should have notfied our VO of a visa refusal by Australia ?

Honestly, we just didnt remember to update them.

Will this be treated as withholding Material info and go against us ?

Your thoughts....

Thanks in advance
