solomonwis:



Let us be objective and realistic like the guys in CIC.....

For some reasons (one of which was stated above),there might be circumstances where an applicant is not able to secure a work reference...The reasons are so numerous and genuine that any sane mind will understand with a letter stating the reason(s).

Having said the above,it was stated on the checklist that should situation arise where any document is not available a letter should be included to explain the reason(s). To give this "letter" a little legal backing,it is always better to state the reason under oath (affidavit) and produce as much information as available that will cover for the work reference...such as the employment letter,confirmation of appointment letter,promotion letter,annual leave letter,payslip/pay stub and any correspondence affirming your work experience at the time...sometimes,it is better to approach an ex-colleague (a senior colleague at the time) to include his contact details and confirming that he/she was your line head or supervisor and you carried out the main duties as stated at the time.... The onus is on the applicant to prove beyond doubt that indeed he/she worked in a company....

Again,all of your employers (if you worked in different places) are not expected to be reluctant in issuing you work reference else you will succeed in raising suspicion which will cast aspersion on your application and it might be rejected if care if not taken.

Some of the employers might have a policy of issuing a work reference letter in the company's standard format which may not include all the details as expected by CIC. In this case,include all of the aforementioned documents with particular attention to the document that show the details of your main duties..

Even with people who provided work reference from their employers,some of them had their applications returned because it did not include the main duties that align with their eligible occupation...

There is no cause for alarm if all I's are dotted and all T's crossed with self attested work reference....Bottom line is,include all the information that is expected in the work reference and confirming that you indeed worked with an employer....

loriaidah: Pls am new and I need some informations. Nurses are not applying or they don't want to share?I read that RN/RM were been evaluated as hospital study and training.so which NOC can you apply for. Urgent pls

bees74:
Nurses are applying o.yes that is how RN is evaluated by wes but as i learnt also on this thread write the noc code that matches your present duties regardless of the evaluation.the equivalent of what your diploma can do in canada is left to the licensing body of the province you are planning to work.therefore you can go ahead and write RN.JUST make sure your duties match their RN.hope this helps.other experts can advice

Meritl:


Thanks for that reply Oga Solo. Based on the generation of suspicion that you said in your post above, I'm a bit worried that I will not be submitting a letter of reference for a place I worked previously. Although I am safe with my points (same as Benedictegbon) even when I don't include the reference letter for that period of work.

Please just say something.

solomonwis:

No point including a self attested work reference when you are sure you already meet the minimum score point of 67.The self attested work reference is basically for people who for one genuine reason or the other are not able to provide work place reference which will impact on their application with CIC.

Ekpekus:
Go to the www.mcc.ca website or www.physicianapply.ca. There you will be requested to pay a certain amount of money to register. Then proceed to do your verification. i must say at this juncture, reading carefully through the site will help a lot. if you are having difficulty, with navigating the site, be free to ask question here as personal correspondence is been discouraged so that others can learn facing similar challenges.

Meritl:

Muchas Gracais!!!!!!!!
Thanks.
Been busy with things for 2 these days. It delayed my submission for tomorrow Saturday. We dey shoot concerning wifey things sha. CIC nor disturb us.

@Merit aka Sharpshooter. Just to encourage you to try and your app as soon as u can, of course after rigorous double checking. Remember its a queue, first come first served. All the best brother.

beaurydoc:

Thanks I ve gotten to the point where they demanded for money ,just want to be double sure someone has gone through the same route before I pay,thanks,but is that all dt is to be paid,how mush is the total sum for the verifications.

DoubleBam2X: Hi dudes,
does anyone know whether or not CIC requests another copy of education evaluation from WES? If yes, what is the applicant's commitment in this?
Thanks for responding as always.

damkollins:
CIC only have an online portal with all the evaluation bodies through which they can confirm the authenticity of the evaluations without necessarily obtaining another original copy .The only commitment applicants have is to send his or her original ECA evaluation with the application package at the submission stage.....nothing more.
Cheers.

DoubleBam2X: Thanks @damkollins,
Do I need to make another payment to WES for CIC to access this online portal? I am asking because I got a message from WES which suggests something like that and I've not heard anybody talk about this.
Thanks

tayoamos:
are u a medical doctor, if so, u will pay almost 500 Canadian dollars, 260 for registration , 145 for each doc verification, 95 for eca..... All these u will pay with either a MasterCard or visa card. Are u clear?

damkollins:
[b]From the look of your request ,it seems to me that you did not pick the FSW ECA ( http://www.wes.org/ca/fswp/index.asp) for your evaluation with respect to the link involved ........maybe you used this link(https://www.wes.org/ca/apply/createaccount.asp?loc=onlineapp) of basic Canadian evaluation to process your documents .The FSW package stores your evaluation details online for CIC to check and confirm while CIC does not have the capacity to view any details with basic evaluation.
FSW package is called FSWP online application evaluation package while the basic evaluation is known as Standard online application evaluation package which i think is what you did.I want to believe you have submitted your application package to CIC already and they are already doing initial assessment of your documents which is why CIC have contacted WES to view your evaluation and subsequently ,WES contacted youth upgrade to FSW P online application evaluation package to make it visible to CIC.
In doing this ,you have to shoulder the cost to make it visible online to CIC since you were not careful enough during WES application to pick the right evaluation package for what you needed.
Please kindly respond affirmatively to WES email to you so that your application package will pass the initial assessment positively with CIC .........pay the cash via your account as soon as possible.
Cheers.[/b]

damkollins:
How dis you submit your transcript ?
Did you follow WES directives ?
When your documents get cancelled ,it simply means the document received is not acceptable because it does not meet WES document requirements. You must resubmit the required document(s) as specified. Please review the document requirements as it applies to your person.
How did you submit ?
Cheers.
