Hello Everyone

Is there anyone who received DM but not PPR email? I received my 4th Line update (DM) on 24th Feb but no PPR email till now. It has been more than 5 weeks now.
I have written email to NDVO and also raised CSE but no reply so far.
Is there any other way I can contact NDVO? Is it a matter of concern for me or should I wait patiently?

Regards
Yes there are others....contact Amzz.....

Looks like both PPR/ Stamping have slowed down at NDVO now...maybe the approaching Easter vacations :p

Agree with you. Raising CSE is not helping Yogi. NDVO categorically mentions that if the application is within suggestded timelines, applicants needs to assume work is in progress.
Raising GCMS is the only wat to keep a check on the stages of the file processing.
Yogi, feel sorry the delay mate. Hold strong. I pray that good news knocks your mailbox anyday soon.

arkscan said:
Hi yogi,

I think your case is really unfortunate as your file should have been cleared by now with Security/ Criminality checks completed...Medicals uploaded in November + Ur hospital confirmed in writing that no furtherance would be required...
I think some goof-up has happened somewhere...

I'd suggest avoid raising any more CSEs since I suspect they are giving a new Due Date for each CSE and pushing back ur file...Suggest u raise another GCMS Notes request and wait...If still after 30 days u see only Medicals pending in the new Notes, quote the GCMS and send an 'Urgent' email to them like forum-mate '24' sent...Beyond that I am unable to suggest anything else...

Diplo/ Canol/ Rvp pls respond if you have any additional suggestions...

THE PREGNANT DEER - such a beautiful story !

In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth.
She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river.
This seems a safe place.
Suddenly labour pains begin.

At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above & lightning starts a forest fire.
She looks to her left & sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her.
To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her.

What can the pregnant deer do?
She is in labour!

What will happen?
Will the deer survive?
Will she give birth to a fawn?
Will the fawn survive?
Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire?
Will she perish to the hunters' arrow?
Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry lion approaching her?

She is constrained by the fire on the one side & the flowing river on the other & boxed in by her natural predators.

What does she do?
She focuses on giving birth to a new life.

The sequence of events that follows are:

- Lightning strikes & blinds the hunter.
- He releases the arrow which zips past the deer & strikes the hungry lion.
- It starts to rain heavily, & the forest fire is slowly doused by the rain.
- The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.

In our life too, there are moments of choice when we are confronted on αll sides with negative thoughts and possibilities.

Some thoughts are so powerful that they overcome us & overwhelm us.

Maybe we can learn from the deer.
The priority of the deer, in that given moment, was simply to give birth to a baby.

The rest was not in her hands & any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster.

Ask yourself,
Where is your focus?
Where is your faith and hope?

In the midst of any storm, do keep faith on creator always. He will never ever dissapoint you. NEVER.

Remember, He neither slumbers nor sleeps...
One of the best I hav read....

SO NEVER LOSE YOUR HOPE... EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR THE GOOD.
+1 :)

It's not necessary to have online presence. However if you choose to have, make sure you data is updated and present.
Data Mining for details of applicants do happen.

Optimisticjp said:
is it necessary to have a LinkedIn account as I haven't have such account. many members are reporting their accounts are checked by CIC officers. do CIC depends on this kind of accounts for employment verification ?

Excluding Quebec, you can land anywhere and claim PR.
Post it you can work anywhere in Canada.
xneelx said:
Is there a clause attached to FSW2014 about the place of living?
I heard that the place mentioned in the application is where you need to land and work for the first 2 years but did not find any such information on the website?

In the form IMM0008ENU_2D in Question 6, they ask us :

Where do you intend to live in Canada?
From the list select the:
a. Province/Territory
b. City/Town


During my initial research I answered one thing but now if I wish to change the place, will I need to go through CIC or can I just land and work wherever I want to?



Latest is - I received PER on 15th March & awaiting AOR.

Does putting down papers(resigning) after you receive PPR makes sense , or there could be another surprise down the line?

PS: I am doing that in a couple of days.

Hi psicolala,

- It would make more sense to pick you bridging certification in Canada to pursue work in your field.

- It's human to err and Visa Office do not take the correction you ask for later against you. Fill the specific application form again, sign and scan and share it throught a CSE to you Visa office. Share that you had a lapse of judgement in understanding how the form was to be filled and now have shared the corrected one.

- Per me, you Internship does not require a mention, it's not a fulltime Job. HEnce you mentioning masters should suffice.

All the best with you application processing.

Hi forumites! Seniors Diplomatru, Goku, Canol, Deltario and everyone that could share some light!

I have been following this forum for a while and it has been of great help! I would like to thank everybody for finding the time to help each other!

I need some advise on my app. I decided to apply for the program on november 2014 and manage to send my app and thank God it reached CIC on the 24 dec. I got PER on march 22. Since I was running with everything and wasnt familiar with the process I now realize I made some mistakes and would love to hear your suggestions on how to make it right.
I was on a study permit during 2011-2014 in Spain while I was studying a master and couldnt work in my field. However I had my Psychologist degree validated in Spain by the Education Ministry, but havent registered in the school of psychologist yet because its a lot of money. I was waiting to find a job and register. Do you think I should register now? I am a registered psychologist in my home country

I got my permanent resident card for spain on sep 2014

I made a mistake while completing the background declaration form. I stated I was unemployed because Im not working on my field or in a company, and now it is clear that I should have. I had been working for 2 months at the time of the application. im working as an english tutor with 2 kids at their home but I have social security and a contract made by the parents. How should I notify CIC about this mistake?

And the last question is about my master: I declared the 3 years of my master. My master included a practical part not sure if I can call it an internship, but I worked during a year and a half in an university hospital under supervision for free to be able to have cases to discuss in my classes. Now the question is: Should I have declared it separate? or is fine just to have declared the master. Also in my Linked in I have the period I spent working on the hospital and wrote it as an internship for the master and now dont know if its ok?

Please share your thoughts on how I can comunicate this info to my VO. Im awaiting my AOR from Paris.
