My views to add:

Note some of those who got "faster" processing did come from Backlog Pilot programs. We should factor this in.

Another will be having been into the "system" previously - i.e. history of travel to other countries or resided/worked in the country - thus pre-assessment of the applicant has been started. If you only have one criminality check (NBI) - then only one base from which to make an assessment - you leave the criminality/security assessment to the VO and it becomes a 50-50 chance with the determination of the VO to rely on the country's PCC.

If you have NBI + RCMP records (no PCCs from other countries) and both of them are clear/no record - then you raise the odds of security/criminality check to positively in your favor (makes the decision easier). Plus - a record of having previously assimilated into the Canadian society bodes well for suitability.

And another - political mood in the country. During election times, immigration comes up as a topic; politicians vie for votes from large immigrant populations. You may have noticed that when this government came into power, there was a large wave of approvals for medical professionals in Manitoba and Alberta a few years back. Election time is coming again folks...

/all the best....

tnx ragluf for posting...

Hi guys, im new here, kindly help naman po. we sent our application sa CIC nova scotia last march 6,2013, and sad to say bumalik and documents namin ngayon april 24, 2013, due to lack of documents on behalf of my spouse. ask ko lang sana kailangan ba namin baguhin lahat un application namin kasi puro check at highlightened na un previous application namin. kapag po ba pinasa namin ulit ung bago application, dina ba kasama un dati application namin? pano un, wala na kami green sticker for PNP? Thanks, hope to hear a reply from u guys, god bless.

hi daverhin26,

ganun din ang nangyari sa application ko noon, exactly the same as yours. what i did is fill out a new application form, minding the check marks and the highlightened area. and about the green sticker, it doesn't really matter if you don't have the green stickers anymore. just send your fresh, new set of application back to CIC as soon as your ready. and base on my experience, everything will be fine.

good luck and GOD BLESS.....

@daverhin26-yun sa amin napabalik din last month, ang advice ni sir ragluf sa akin na consider daw na new application ulit ang gagawin.. ang ginawa ko nagprint ulit ako ng bago generic form and yun ibang forms as in bago na lahat pati yun mga documents kasi may butas na ng puncher and may red check din and nakasulat yun mga minor errors at nakahighlight yun mali sa apps namin.. ang hindi ko lang binago yun NBI namin..ang mali naman sa apps namin yun payment kaya binago ko din yun fee payment form..

kapag naman ipapass nyo na ulit hindi na isasama yun luma if nagprint ka ng bago forms and docs.. mag start ka ulit sa umpisa kung ano yun mga dapat ipass sa CIC, at this time itatama mo na yun mga correction and idadagdag mo na yun kulang.. nung binalik ko isinama ko yun letter nila kung bakit napabalik.. idouble check mo lang ulit yun date at signature baka makalimutan mo if magprint ka ng bago.. check mo mabuti yun checklist para wala ka ng makalimutan.. huwag mo din kalimutan lagay yun UCI #.. yun green sticker, ang ginawa ko bumili ako ng neon sticker then nagprint ako "Manitoba Provincial NOMINEE" nilagyan ko na para madali nila makita baka kasi maligaw pag wala.. and btw, kelan ba expiration ng LOA nyo?

may ibang case naman na walang correction at may red check lang, yun ulit daw ang sinubmit nila.. like sa fb page meron nagsubmit, ang binago lang nya na forms yun may correction the rest yun luma na since wala naman daw mali, ngayon meron na siya AOR..

so far waiting ako ngayon sa AOR. mar 25 nila nareceive.. good luck...

[ragluf]

yun green sticker, ang ginawa ko bumili ako ng neon sticker then nagprint ako "Manitoba Provincial NOMINEE" nilagyan ko na para madali nila makita baka kasi maligaw pag wala..

+1 If ever makikita ang isa sa mga katangian na maganda sa Pinoy - yan ang tinatawag ko na "diskarte". ;D ;D ;D Made my day!

Kung wala naman kakaiba sa sticker (walang seal, security id or notifications on tampering), masasabing ang intention naman ng sticker is para i-highlight na MPNP galing ang application.

/all the best!

Question lang po mga ma'am/sirs,

I lived in Jakarta for more than a year, pero on and off po, meaning, the first period was 5 months, tapos ilang days, tapos 3 months, and so on. Wala pong lumampas ng 6 months consecutively kasi napapadpad din po ako sa ibang countries. Ngayon po nasa pinas na ulit ako. I submitted my application to CIC last month, NBI lang natin ang pinasa ko.

Do you think they'll require me to submit a police clearance from Jakarta?

I will value your opinions/answers. Maraming salamat po!

Hi,
The operative term is "lived" or technically - you are deemed a resident of the country.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp - does state 6mos or more. The reason is more related to residency with respect to tax reporting. Typically, in most countries, a foreigner/visitor staying more than 6 months at a time is deemed not a visitor, but a resident (for tax purposes). Reason why also in some countries tourists/visit are allowed to stay up to 6months but not exceeding that.

With respect to your stays, it depends on the nature of your visits, and the period when you did the visits. If you were there as a business visitor, and during your stay used hotels/company provided housing, and had no ties (bank accounts, government-issued IDs, leases, work permits, etc.) to the country, then you are not a resident, and should not be required to provide a PCC. Even if you made successive trips that in total exceeded 6months, as long as the nature of those visits are temporary/business and did not exceed 6months for a single stay - you are not deemed as having lived in the country.

But there must be a valid reason for successive trips to a country, as this may become a 'red flag' into inquiring more to the nature of those visits, and thus a PCC may be asked of you. In your Supplementary Information - Your Travels form - what did you put as purpose for the trips to Jakarta? That will provide the VO a view into whether you will be required a PCC or not, if added information to clarify is needed, you may be asked to explain in writing in lieu of a PCC.

Jakarta - nice place. Travelled there a few times after coming from Bandung and also enroute to Batam and Palembang. A progressive capital, and population is actually young and dynamic.

Thank you so much ragluf for your explanation, it did help!

In my travels form, the reasons i wrote for my trips there were mostly meetings and trainings (because they were). Then, for my last two trips there, one for 4 months and the other for 3 mos.(total of 7 mos), I wrote "work" because by then the office decided that they needed me there and so they gave me a temporary work permit (which is why I'm worried). The gap between the total 7 mos was Christmas break which was about a month which I spent in Manila.

But I do hope you are right, and that they'll just ask for a written explanation as I have since resigned from that job. It will be additional cost and effort to secure the PC. I'm choosing to think positive and hope that everything will work out well.

Yes, Jakarta is nice. I had fun while I was there, lots of fond memories.

Thanks again for your help! God bless!

Nice meeting you Ate Liyapot and Olansky

Para sa mga hindi p nakaka attend, I am encouraging you to join kasi tulad ng sinasabi ng lahat very informative talaga at makakapag start kna mag plan careerwise bago k p magmigrate.

Action Plan includes your short term and long term goals and how to achieve it using the resources. CIIP will serve as your path to success.

They have so much to offer and remember, it is for free. We were also given certificates of completion. Not to mention, the free of charge overflowing coffee and biscuits. All you need to do is REGISTER, ATTEND & LEARN.
