The Canada forum seems to have become a tool for free advertising, misplaced posts and spam. Is it no longer moderated?

You do realise this is a forum for people wishing to move to Canada?

Hmm. This is a weird one. Perhaps the 'decision made' was a mistake.

Your cousin can apply for her CAIPS notes via the CIC website to see what has been going on. These will give you details of all the activity carried out on her application by CHC.

As long as you have the required number of years experience in your field, the fact that you are unemployed now should not make a difference.

You need to have proof of the funds required when you apply, and also when you land to activate your visa.

Sounds like it is not acceptable: "IELTS has two options for the reading and writing tests: “General Trainingâ€

It would appear that people in the 'old queue' (pre 27 Feb 2008 applications) who are asking CHC why they have gone over the estimated processing time and have not been processed yet are getting this letter: ---- Dear Sir/Madam, This is in response to your enquiry For Federal Skilled Worker applican...

There are some April 2007 applicants in the London visa office who have not yet heard anything, but there are also some Nov 2007 applicants who are being processed - it seems to be pot luck with this office. Published processing times for 2007 applicants through London is now 49 months. You can upda...

The published processing times for the London visa office, for 2007 applicants has recently been changed to 49 months. There are a lot of Nov 2007 applicants still waiting. While your immigration company was perhaps a little over optimistic with their estimated time frame (when you applied the publi...

Must admit I don't know because I didn't have to send one. Check the visa office specific instructions document - got a feeling I have seen somwhere you have to send the original. If in doubt, you could always send original and keep notarised copy.

You take your certificates to a public notary and the notary makes a copy and puts a seal on each document and notarises it as a true copy, they also attempt to contact the educational establishments as far as possible to ascertain that the certificates are genuine. This is what you send to CIC. Som...

It's easier to take on som...

Good luck with your application.

I would suggest you apply now and get in the queue for next year's quota, but I would check with your lawyer, after all, you are paying him for this type of advice.

You must take the IELTS.

You can live wherever you like - apart from Queubec. You can land wherever you like, but if you land in Quebec you will have to satisfy the immigration officer that you will be residing in another province.

You will be asked if you have applied for a visa before and the details of this refusal will be looked at. Impact on your new application will depend entirely on the reasons you were refused a visa the first time round.

'CAIPS is short for 'Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System'. It is the computer system used by Citizenship & Immigration Canada to process visa applications, and holds all the information on the current status of every immigration application being processed by overseas offices (i.e. thos...

It's too early to get worried. This is not an unusual amount of time to wait at this stage - also take into account the staff holiday period has started and things tend to slow down at this time. As for ECAS, mine (and many others) showed 'in process' from the date of application and changed straigh...
