GOD BLESS YOU.<br /><br />Actually I have a same case, but there is a slight difference from others. Below you may find my case details and please advise accordingly.<br /><br />- Applicaiton Date: 26-04-2010 and received on 30-04-2010<br /><br />After that i came to know that there is a typo mistake in my application then i wrote a letter with correction page. which was received on 20-05-2010 and after that again i found that there is a mistake in a form and finally i submitted a correction copy of that particular page support with a letter on June 28, 2010.<br /><br />When i submitted my question my profession was in line with the requirement but as per latest notification my profession is out of the list.<br /><br />I have a question, that weather they will accept my application or not becasue I had submitted two amendments these were just amendments not complete applications. If they will accept my application then there should reply with in 2 months but still there is no reply from their side. <br /><br />Please advise! should i contact them or wait because latest revision was just received last month.<br /><br />Shahzad KhanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660350356064169325[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269891892371979667.post-75475618630329542832010-07-19T05:59:17.309-07:002010-07-19T05:59:17.309-07:00Dear Rajwinder and others who experienced delay in...Dear Rajwinder and others who experienced delay in your receipt of assessment from CIO.

This I came to know when I checked Canadamail. So now, it has been 2 months already from their receipt of our application and still there is no response. I know that it may take awhile now since so many have been applying and I think that ensued a backlog already. My questions are: (1) Do you think the period for the CIO Office to reply to us is dependent on the type of Occupation we have represented in our application? (2) How long, so far, among your clients, is the waiting period for the CIO to reply? (3) Does CIO still email their reply?<br /><br />I hope you will generously answer my questions. <br /><br />Thanks you and Congratulations to your success as an Immigration Agent. I find you the most reliable source of information re migration to Canada. Of course, next to the gc.canada website. :)<br /><br />Thanks,Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591099342627046173[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269891892371979667.post-50766997189334574942010-06-03T08:26:22.101-07:002010-06-03T08:26:22.101-07:00Dear Jay, I sent my application by normal post fr...Dear Jay,<br /><br />I sent my application by normal post from Australia.

Upon reading the posts here it...Sir Jay,<br /><br />Good day! Upon reading the posts here it seemed that everyone has their own different problems but in some ways they have similarities too.<br />My agency submitted my application for FSW Nov 6 of last year 2009. Until now I still don&#39;t have any reply from CIO. I am currently here in Ontario on a working permit which will be expiring Oct of this year. When I called Citizenship Immigration Canada they checked if I have a data there but there wasn&#39;t. So I tried their online services. And I saw my file, but what shocked me is the date that they received my application. They received it March 5, 2010. I was informed by my agency that it would take 8-12 weeks for them give a positive or negative assessment. That&#39;s why I was already expecting a reply from them starting January to February. And I found out that my papers were received by CIO-Sydney by March. So I waited in vain at that time because they haven&#39;t actually received my papers yet. Do you have any idea what happened? I don&#39;t want to doubt the integrity of my agency all I just wanted to know, why did it took 4 months for my papers to reach CIO? so on top of my 4 months wait. I need to wait again for another 8-12 weeks starting March for their positive reply? Am I right Sir Jay? Actually Citizenship Immigration Canada said to me it only take 10 weeks for the reply to be sent. And they are now processing March 2010 applications. Pls give me advice on what to do, coz I fear that things will screw up again. Because I hurried in saving the money for filing fee and the downpayment for the agency and gathering my documents coz I don&#39;t want to waste time. That&#39;s why I was upset when I found out that CIO only received my file March 2010 considering my agency told me that they submitted it Nov 6, 2009. Any idea what happened sir Jay?<br />I will be waiting for your reply sir.<br /><br />Thank You!<br /><br />AndrewUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560057387494093463[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269891892371979667.post-37059943514148703552010-03-22T15:58:36.950-07:002010-03-22T15:58:36.950-07:00Dear Ratwinder, There are cases where the CIO or...Dear Ratwinder, <br /><br />There are cases where the CIO or the Visa office handling your application has misplaced the reply that was supposed to be for you. <br /><br />It you applied last July 22, it may already be too late. <br /><br />You will be given a letter of non - compliance. But your filing fee will be refunded. Although, you should give your current address to the Visa office that is supposed to process or handle the evaluation of your full application package on the second stage. <br /><br />What you should do is to ask for a copy of the application you sent to the CIO from your Consultant, and take a look if the address is correct. <br /><br />Then write a letter to the Visa office that is supposed to handle your application informing them that you have not received any correspondence from them. <br /><br />Regards, <br /><br />Jay AranetaJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824414655385186106[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269891892371979667.post-49537822158656265472010-03-22T03:14:30.607-07:002010-03-22T03:14:30.607-07:00Dear Richard, Thank you for the email.
