I have got RPRF and PPR on 16 November. I made the payment by 21 st and submitted my passport on 23 Nov. at VFS office. What are the next procedures? Could any one help me to know?

First of all congratulations on your PR!

There is nothing much left to do now other than start preparing for flying out to the new world that awaits you!

On a serious note, you will get your passport back stamped with the visa for your landing into Canada. You have to land in Canada within that visa limit. And yes, in your COPR confirmation there will be a link to attend some seminars conducted by CIIP for new immigrants. These are held free of cost at major cities and you need to register for it. I would strongly advice to attend that one! It's really insightful and helpful.

Good luck

1.Bachelor's degree( 3 or more year program)
2.Two , more certificate, diplomas, one must be for a program of three or more years?

Which of these above two fit in my case?

Have you got your ECA for the degree from India? based on that you should fill out your EE profile.

Hi all,

Help required,

I have got my reference letter from current employer, however I have worked for 7 years and been promoted twice during this tenure last promotion was October 2013.
however my reference letter (on company letterhead given by manager) only mentions current roles and responsibilities as a manager do I require reference letter from all positions or current roles and responsibilities can work, I can provide all promotion letter and pay stubs as I have all the documents available online. each and every change is documented so not too worried on that.

They have said that letter with all details of all years is not possible only current will be provided.

Any help would be really grateful

Hello,
1. I have 1 year masters which WES evaluated as postgraduate diploma. so there are 2 questions in the EE profile form, first slot asks level of educ? second asks what is the canadian evaluation of it?
For the first answer I chose Masters.
For the second answer I chose 'One year program at a university,college , trade or technical school.
Am I correct?

2. The date of test results of IELTS, is it the date beside the IELTS TRF number?

3. The question about appointing a representative to do business with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on their behalf. I am applying on my own so the answer is no, right?

4. After graduating in Jan 2009, I started working from Oct,2009 - June 2010. Left the job. Took up my current job from Oct 2010. My NOC is based on my current job. So in work history should I put in info from the first job as well?

5. I took 2 leaves from work, once a 3month leave & another 6months leave, I work as a university lecturer so thats almost 1year leave, when I calculate my total work period do I subtract this period ? Even after subtracting I have 6 yrs.

6. I have read that since spouse's work history wont add any points better not to add anything, so in profile should I check 'No' for spouse work experience ?

Thanks

Correct.

Correct.

Correct.

Since the 2nd job gives you 7 years of work experience it gives you maximum points. So leave out the first job in employment history. You will only have to mention it in personal history Post-ITA.

5. I took 2 leaves from work, once a 3month leave & another 6months leave, I work as a university lecturer so thats almost 1year leave, when I calculate my total work period do I subtract this period ? Even after subtracting I have 6 yrs.

No, you don't. They will never know you were on leave. In any case as long as you are employed you are gaining experience, so the fact that you were on leave or not is irrelevant. Therefore you can claim points for 7 years of experience.

6. I have read that since spouse's work history wont add any points better not to add anything, so in profile should I check 'No' for spouse work experience ?

Yes, you should.

Thanks

See answers in red.

Hi,

You would need to provide details of all 3 roles. This can be in one letter or in separate letters.

Hi all,

What is the validity of PCC (Police Clearance Certificate) ?

Hi,

"

• For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
• For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country."

Read through this:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/nail-the-challenge-of-getting-reference-letter-from-current-employer-t397796.0.html

If you are unable the reference in the required format, I would suggest you get whatever you can and then ask your immediate superior to write a reference letter giving all the required details and then get it notarised to add legal validity. Submit both documents and also include you contract of employment and payslips if available. There is no guarantee that the officer will accept this so do everything in your power to get the reference letter that meets CIC requirements.

"a reference or experience letter from the employer, which

• should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
• should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits;"
