Thank you Asivad Anac

Hello, Asivad!
So, I got my PPR letter, which is just awesome!
However, the part of the letter with passport submission instruction where presumably my home address is indicated looks strange:

"[My name]
[Apartment number] - n/a [Street name]
[postal index]
[Name of city]
Russia"

So, the apartment number is stated, but not the number of the house (block of flats). A letter with this kind of address is not getting anywhere in Russia. As far as I remember, I didn't mess up the address section when filling in the forms, but judging by the way it's presented, it's quite messed up in their database. Or am I wrong and it's some kind of peculiar address representation, CIC way?
The letter says I should "review my mailing address above and advise them of any updates". Should I do this? How?

Hi Asivad...
Could you please help in getting confirm that is SGSITS, Indore in MP, India and autonomous college or not? As per WES documents link (ugc.ac.in/page/Autonomous-Colleges.aspx) my university is not listed as the list is updated in 2009.

But i found another list updated in 2011 on same webpage (ugc.ac.in/oldpdf/colleges/374autocolleges_april11.pdf) where my unversity is listed and my college is shown as autonomus.

I am confused from where to get transcripts - my college of Study or University which issues degree?

There have been multiple instances where people did not find their university/institution listed on WES and still got a positive ECA from them after applying and sending over documentation. I'm not sure where you should apply for the transcripts - the best people to answer that would be your college/University.

Congratulations!

Doesn't really matter how the address shows up on MyCIC or on that letter (both of which derive from the same back-end database). The letter would inform you of next steps to submit your passport. When you do that, ensure that you provide the accurate address when you show up at VFS Global in Russia. No real need to update your address now in MyCIC.

dear asivad,

do you order GCMS for ppl ? or do you provide any such service?

dear asivad,

Unfortunately no. But if you don't know anyone who is already in Canada and can do this on your behalf, there are other agencies who can order these notes for you - search the forum for some leads.

Hi Asivad Anac,

It has been 3 month and two weeks since AOR. I ordered GCMS notes from CIC website (I am inlander) last week but forgot to attach supporting documents (Right of Access). A few days ago, I ordered another one and I submitted my study permit which has my address in Canada on it! I was not asked to pay $5 fee this time nor the first time! Am I missing something?!

Thanks,

Appears comprehensive - proof of status in Canada, signed consent (IMM 5744) and payment is pretty much what is required.

I never ended up paying! What is wrong?!

Oh, also, do I need to fill in consent form?! Why? I am not requesting on behalf of someone else!

Also, I found this:

4.
Application fee, if submitting your request under the Access to Information Act
• There is a $5.00 application fee for requests made under the Access to Information Act. (There are no fees under the Privacy Act).
• Pay your fees online
and print and attach a copy of your receipt with your request as proof of payment. You can also pay your fee by cheque or money order (made payable to the Receiver General for Canada).

My bad.

The $5 fees would apply to an outland applicant asking for GCMS notes under Information Act. If you're applying from inside Canada, no fees required as it comes under the purview of Privacy Act and no consent required as you're doing it for yourself.

Please help me with this question too:

Which one should I choose here?

a) What type of record would you like to request?
- Permanent Residence
- Express Entry Profile
- Verification of status or replacement of an immigration document

I would imagine EE profile.

 

[Han]

I would imagine EE profile.

Well, I chose EE profile first. Then I got this message that if I have already created EE and received ITA, I should choose permanent residency. I hope I chose the correct one.
Thanks anyways.
