[shahid_iet]

Hi Guys i have one problem need you help . i have applied in category FSW with permanent job offer letter . currently i am on post graduation work permit and doing job . I got a letter from my employer stating that i am permanent employee of company but it didn't state employer intend to have me as permanent employee if i got permanent residence .. will it create a problem for my application ?

CIC is very particular on the format and content of letter and it is very important for the employer to show the intent to hire you permanently. But at the same time, your employer hasn't mentioned that the offer is temporary. It might just work for you but even if CIC is not 'happy' with the letter, they will reach out to you for clarification. good luck

Thanks . yeah my employer has mentioned me as permanent employee of company in letter .. i can ask my manger for letter stating they intend to have me as permanent employee upon getting my permanent residence . but i think now i can not send this letter till i get PER ?

Yea if I were you, I wouldn't send anything till I hear from CIC. They look at the overall application and decide, so if everything else is good, they might just let this one thing slide.

I read in the forum in different threads about not having real birth certificates, I didn't supply one either, but I supplied explanation for the substitution and they didn't cause me any trouble. My school certificates were accepted as evidence of DOB.

For the most part, I think CIC is very reasonable for genuine cases.

Please get another letter from your manager stating that they intent to keep you on the job after the PR application is approved and send it to CIC with a cover letter explaining him the reason of this additional letter and ofcource your application/UCI number on it.
Dont ever take a chance when it comes to immigration matters.

Hi shahid_iet,

I'm thinking of you...
If you already decided what to do for solving your problem, please skip this post. Otherwise, please know that this is just an opinion of someone who has negative attitude... because I'm just a poor applicant.

Basically, I don't think that the permanent job offer letter which you sent will create a problem for your application.
I think that nobody can offer a permanent job to temporary residence. Because your manager wrote that you are "a permanent employee", I believe that CIC officers understand that it means "Your employer intends to have you permanently if you get PR, and your employer also wants you to become a permanent resident".

However, I firmly feel that it's better that get an additional letter as other friends said so.
If you plan to send your local visa office the additional letter, you shall wait to get your application number (= file number) that must be shown in your PER. (They informed that "Make sure that you include your name, file number, date of birth and Unique Client Identifier (UCI) to help us identify your application.")
If you plan to send that letter to CIO-Sydney as soon as possible, you shall let them know your UCI in a cover letter.

Another aspect of this issue is that you sent your documents this November... do you mind about if your application will return from CIO?
I worry that if CIO returns your documents 2 months later then you might need to do all over again because FSW's eligibility will be changed in next January.
CIC informs us that if you want to send Ottawa additional documents except Police Certificate, you should scan the documents and send them via an e-mail. (Ref : Case Processing Pilot: Ottawa, Ontario - Frequently asked questions #6)
Therefore, I think that you are able to scan the additional letter as well as take its photocopy, send CIO-Sydney original of the letter soon, and then send Ottawa the file through an e-mail after you get PER.

Btw, my manager didn't write so many things, just wrote "mysteaka will be a permanent employee."
I got a PER.
Best of luck for you, God bless you (and us)!

Urgent:

I have a question for all who can reply and give some help.

I have a friend, who wants to attend a Language Course in Vancouver. He made a payment for that course including homestay family for one month, but wants to know what kind of documents he needs to submit in order to have more chances to get the visa. Does he need to prove that he has property in his country and that he has a job so he is not going to stay there (Vancouver) after he finishes the course. His visa office is Vienna.

Any additional information would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
