hi. CIO has notified us of our FSW approval. We received the notice last june 02. We are currently working on the completion of our docs. We learned of the changes imposed by CIC and has found a new set of doc checklist as we complete. Advice pls: do we use the "old" doc checklist (sept 2009) or we abide by the "new" doc checklist (june 2010)?

reply pls. advice will be appreciated. thanks

Do not be confused. Read the instructions carefully. It says for FSW program now Academic Ielts shall be submitted only and below that they have the mentioned NOC's.

Now you can interpret yourself.
Sorry, but I need to confirm this. My wife is a doctor in our country, and we are applying for FSW under 3112. Which IELTS should my wife take, Academic or General?

Hi, im also interested to know. I have gathered all my docs as well...transcript, birth cert, work reference letters, bank certificate..not sure if these has to be submitted to CIO in original forms or photocopy or certified true copies. The document checklist says COPY of VO specific requirements, but VO specific instruction said send the requirements to CIO.

Hi,

Send notarized photocopies to CIO and if you get approval then send original or notarized to local visa office. But PCC or IELTS might have to be submit in original form check the guide again
