Hi,

Please answer, How much time does CIO take to acknowledge the submission of Initial application ? I submitted my application a week back and didn't hear anything yet !!
And, what documents need to be notarized and what documents need to be submitted as a photocopy ? Can any one specify to me. As the Guide says all documents needs to be notarized. I was wondering...if the a photocopy of the Date of Birth needs to be nortarized also ?????????/ :-\
Shall I start gathering my all documents or should wait for 1-2 months ?

If I am unable to provide Letter of Reference from all my Employer's what reason needs to be stated.. I have a writi it in a Blank sheet and sign it or it has to attested also ?

Thanks,
Aries

Regarding FSW Application....???

Hi, :-\

If everything turns out fine...I will submit my all documents to the Buffalo Office directly. I called the Buffalo Office and they have an Automated Message System and No real person to answer.

I have applied mainly under 4131 Category. Also, I am unable to obtain the Reference Letters from my Previous employer's I send them an Email, but no replies. So what should I write incase in a letter ...so that it sounds convincing ?

Thanks,

If it's your initial application you must send to nova scotia (NS) not Buffalo.

On the issue of reference letter, I would advise that you seek out your previous or present employers to obtain it. It is far better. That way you will remove doubts from IO/VO mind.

My 2 cents
