A friend of mine had applied under FSW -Early childhood care and education category in 2014. Her field inquiry happened last friday. Her school was closed that day because of examination break. Neither the Principal nor the teachers were present in the school that day. A team of four people requested to come in to the school for inquiry. The inquiry team members were greeted by a school maid and Principal's son (who is lives on the floor above). The inquiry team was informed that there was no one in the school but the inquiry team insisted to enter the school.
They showed the teacher's pic (my friend/ Primary Applicant) to the maid (The maid is under 18 and illiterate) and asked her if the person in the picture worked there.
The maid confirmed that the lady in picture was a teacher at the school. The inquiry group went on and asked for further questions on the number of years the teacher had been working there and the timings. The maid replied back stating that the teacher (primary applicant) was working in the school for last one year and she usually came late to school. Originally, my friend has been in that school for around 5 yrs and she goes to school daily as per school timings. She has mentioned the same in her Referral/experience letter as well. One of the inquiry group members took notes based on what the maid said.They went ahead and looked at the classroom and office of the school and date sheet of the exams. No one from the CIC has tried to reach the Principal or the primary applicant after this incident.
My friend is really concerned about this whole inquiry as the primary person (the maid) who was interviewed for the teacher's information did not reply back with accurate information. It would be fair to believe that inquiry can and will impact the final outcome of my friend's application. I have discussed the same with few people and they have suggested me to raise a CSE. I have seen mixed reviews on CSE. I have seen that the CIC has replied back to some of the CSE's on time whereas some of the applicants never heard from CIC on their CSEs. I am not sure if the
Do you guys think that it would be a good idea to reach out to the local Canadian Embassy via phone/email by the Principal of the school informing that the information collected during the inquiry was not accurate?
I would really appreciate if any of members from the group could come out and share if they had any such experience and a possible solution to fix this issue.
Thanks In Advance.
