Hi friends,
Hope all are doing well. I am new to this forum and had couple of questions that I am hoping all you experienced people will be able to answer for me.
I applied for FSW back in August, 2014 under NOC 2171.My application was picked in Dec, 2014 and Medical/background check were requested in Jan, 2015. While I was able to get medical done within couple of weeks, background check took some time and I was only able to send it by Apr, 2015. As of May, 2015 I have been seeing the following status "A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision".
1. What does this statement mean? Does it relate to final decision? Are there any chances of getting reject from here?
2. Its already been almost 2.5 months since this statement was posted. How long before I receive the decision? Or does the time vary?
3. I am planning to get married in Nov this year and I want to add my would-be spouse to my application. I have already checked with my lawyer and he suggested couple of options:
a) Apply for her visitor visa right away and once I get my approval and land in Canada (provided everything goes through), she can visit Canada and we can submit an 'In-Canada' application. Processing time 2-4 months.
b) As per my lawyer, whenever I receive my approval (provided everything goes through), we normally get 6 months within which if there is any change of status (like my marital status) I can actually add her on my application. Again, the processing time is 2-4 months but that means I wait along with her.
c) I get my would-be spouse to apply to some college in Canada and get her into the country on student visa for Jan, 2016 intake. Again a viable option but intent could be questioned here.
d) Finally (and I am hoping it doesn't come to this), I end up with no option but to put a separate sponsorship for her processing time for which is 18 months.
My question is, does all these options sound familiar to you guys? Any suggestions would be welcome. Also, is anybody aware of genuineness of option (b). I want to make sure it is possible. And finally, would applying for her tourist visa create any problem towards our application under FSW (we are currently not related in any manner).
Any thoughts would be welcome and thank you for going through this long message. Cheers
Good day folks,
I am a bit concerned about the type of questions some of the forum members do ask. Even though some claim to be new members; I guess we still need to be matured and don't saturate this forum with unnecessary questions. I am only saying this to maintain the quality and integrity of the information that this forum has been providing since it started. If this continues, it may discourage people from posting and answering questions because it will be seen as another CARTOON GROUND. the following are my reasons:
(1) I don't understand why applicants will come to the forum to ask how much they need to take to Canada. This is explained/stated in the guidelines you used when applying for the FSW 2014. How come you childishly come and ask again on this forum. However, this has been explained severally on the forum. As a new member, I guess you are educated, read the thread before you come up with such questions.
(2) Some members will say "their friend" is applying and ..... Look, we are educated folks on this platform, if it is your friend that applied, why did you join this forum in the first place. We are here for real and not for "hide and seek."
(3) On the issue of some persons asking what FLU, SLU, TLU, FLU mean. Look, I can understand asking about First Line update. It becomes overbearing when you come here to ask about "Decision made" after TLU. It becomes more irritating because you have used eCAS and everything is explained on eCAS.
(4) I also don't think you should be asking when will I get the DM, PPR questions. I believe you should read the thread and infer from what has happened to others.
(5) It is also very selfish of many who refuse to update their timelines. Your timelines like that of others will guide new comers who don't want to read a lot of the thread.
Folks, don't consider me an angry guy, I am only irritated on the type of childish questions that people are asking on this " supposedly intelligence guiding forum."
Thank you for reading and hope we become more matured on this platform..
