My eCAS changed to Medical Results received today, only 7 days after they were done.

Hoping everyone else's are received just as quickly. :)
Great ta2. Off to PPR for you. I got emedical done too, but was told it may take ~10 days. Hope it gets done faster.

shahid_iet, I urge you to get stronger wording from your employer such as one of these:

"We plan to continue employing <name> on a full-time permanent basis upon <name> recieving Permanent Residence."
"We plan to employ <name> on a full-time permanent basis if he receives Permanent Residence."

You should explain to your employer that this document is not a binding contract, it is just a letter expressing their current intentions.

The visa office obviously has concerns, and you should do your very best to make sure that the documents that you send to them are very strongly worded in your favour.
Thanks, I have asked my Manager to write this line "We plan to continue employing <name> on a full-time permanent basis upon <name> receiving Permanent Residence." . I hope he will add this line in my letter today so i can send my letter today to Ottawa office

Yep, I'd agree with something along these lines.

In the instruction guide for applying for FSW-2, one of the criteria is clearly stated:

"Your current employer has made an offer to give you a permanent full-time job if your application is successful."

As I said, they might accept an updated copy without any issue. Or they might reject it based on the wording, as they were quite clear in what they asked for.

It's your call on this one. My advice would be to get the wording changed. Doesn't state a need to mention anything about temporary, just what they're offering you full time, permanent employment if the application is successful. I don't think your letter states that. In fact, your letter states you are permanent just now, which while in theory is true, does go against the rules of a TWP. How can you have a permanent job if your work permit if for a finite amount of time? When they issued your TWP, one of the things they generally ask/check is that you understand your job is not permanent based on your current WP, as you'd need to leave the country at the end of it (and any extensions). It's perfectly acceptable to apply for PR and intend to stay permanently, but it's still on the basis that's only if your application is successful, as otherwise you'd have to leave the country and your current job would therefore not be 'permanent' as circumstances outside the employer's control would mean you'd have to leave your job.

Sorry this isn't what you want to hear, but that's just our opinion based on what they asked for and their own guidelines. Perhaps there won't be any issue at all, but my advice would be to get it changed.

Graham.
Thanks bro i agree with you :)

I think that's good enough. Make sure the letter fulfills the othe requirements (letter headed, job description, salary, benefits, etc).

Yep, it certainly seems to give what they've asked for.

Like ta2 said though, make sure all the other requirements are fulfilled. I think they were given in the document checklist (i.e. the points ta2 mentioned).

Yea, I'm not getting my hopes up. It'll happen when it happens. But of course seeing anything, even if it's just the next line, would be a great Christmas present! We can hope!

Graham.
