Dear IAK 2001,

Could you please describe the location of the CA solicitor's office? I want to apply as well.

Thanks

note: i didn't get the exact address according your description next to Ramada...etc

Hi Pasaway! Ask ko lang if u r from Qatar and what category u applied. I am planning to get my husband from qatar as my dependent (under Family Class), I checked their website and Family Class will be processed in Abu Dabi, Pwede mo ba akong bigyan ng tips in regards sa processing and documents needed? Matagal ba ang processing nila at mahigpit din bang tulad sa pinas, nagsi-CI din ba sila ng mga documents sa pinas? Please reply. thank you very much and happy new year!

...I also applied same time. I couriered all my documents to UK in Dec 09. They requested original mark-sheets in Jun 10 and I couriered it. Since then no news. Let me know if you have heard anything from them. Thanks unpatel at g mail

approx.. hundred thousand.. pesos... hey... i'm in canada now... too much arab here already it's like i'm in qatar or middle east... arabo, indiano, pakistan, afga, etc...

basically same as middle east just different weather and cost of living...

HI Paradox does anyone know how much the consultant charges??

Don't go to canada they have troops in afghanistan and drink the blood of muslims.

India, or Pakistan, or Afghanistan, or Iraq, or Syria, or Jordon,,,try Egypt, or Kuwait,,,perhaps Saudi Arabia even,,,,

why Canada??

Good Info .. thanks

the reply will depend on the docuemnts that you had submitted and if correct then it can take 6-8 months after submission.Call me at 4383880

Does anybody have an idea of how much time does it take for completing the process.

I applied for immigration in August 2007. In Dec. 2009, I got intimation from Canadian embassy in UK to provide all documents within four months. I did that in March 2010. How long does it take from here to actually get called for medical/interview and then getting landing papers? Can anybody having gone through this experience let me know please.

Too much data. Very confusing.

well i'm first time on this as it was referred to me by a friend of mine...i read your comments in regards to Canada Migration...well i myself am a Advisor/Consultant doing this business in Qatar for the last 6 years..I use to work for law firms earlier and then been doing this business on my own for the last 2 yrs..I read most of the comments on this forum..many are right few are just writing in to write...but my point is does scoring 67 points really get you qualified? i say there are other important criteria s also...

hi Paradox.

i can get 71 points as per your chart,

but as per latest list my professional post is not matching as I m Project Engineer Civil as in list it is Construction Manager.

so pls can u suggest me..

hi!please PM me as well, thanks so much!

Such kind of recruiters are there in every third world country.

The points that paradox3696 was very thoughtful! As a Canadian, I appreciate all the hard work and effort with people trying to get into Canada legally.

One important thing to note as an addition, be very careful of recruiters asking you for a fee. The Canadian companies looking for skilled workers would pay for you to be there. If recruiters ask money from you, it's probably not a good idea to work with them. Canadian companies come with an understanding that there is no double dipping from recruiters.

This may not apply to you, but I have been aware of many Filipino agencies stationed in the Philippines asking for fees. The Canadian government can't do anything about this. The Canadian employer would only learn of this after the person is employed.

Good luck in your quest!

got a Filipino friend who submitted an application

for immigration to Canada.. i think the agency is called F&K..

cheers,

hi, ive read one of ur comments regarding canada immigration, u seem to have some sound avice. can u also give me advice as i am also interested? thanks!

gone are the days where you could apply, pretend that you are living in Canada and then come straight back to the Middle East. I know some people who have applied and have the necessary points but their case has either been denied or is still pending. Plus some people who obtained landed immigrant status, had their residency revoked when they went to renew as they had not lived in the country long enough or paid any taxes....

i think you must read this:

http://www.qatarliving.com/node/221508

your application as you said was filed just 4 months ago, so you might be affected of this new law

My question regarding the process time because I already apply to UK immigration office from 4 month ago and somebody told me that it take only three month to get the file number and contacted my bank and they told me that the draft cheque which I sent with the application form paid to general receiver of Canada before 5 weeks and till now am waiting for the file number

As long as you have met the min required points at 67 or more plus u can provide all the necessary documents, I have NOT heard of single case where it has been declined.  

There could be cases where criminal records could have an effect on your chances.  But if you are clean, why bother to spend on thousands for the agent fee?

Listen, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to fill up the forms and submit the necessary documents to the authority.

Please proof to em otherwise. Thanks 

you miss the MAIN point, bro..

to EVALUATE your CHANCES is not a problem! I just want you to understand that the fact of having enough points DOESN'T make you a canadian permanent resident automatically! It is still very long and sometimes very painful process! The fact of having enough points makes you eligible for APPLYING for the immigration, but not for the IMMIGRATION itself! see the difference?Evaluation of the chances is maybe 1% of all immigration process, if not less…

******* [img_assist|nid=94788|title=*******|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0] ... "SUN" is not the mother's child, but our Galaxy's STAR!...

Thats loads of information Paradox. Thanks

Thanks all for the  info.

Will make my moves soon.

just to add one more point. U dont need to apply in qatar.  u can apply in your home country.

add up the total numberof points and if u can ccumulate up to 67 points u are definitely qualify to be TAXED to death in canada as an new immigrant of canada.

So I hope this one will help you to convince that u dont need a consult to do that for you.

Best of lcuk!

Your work experience must be in the category of Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B on the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC). See below for instructions on determining the NOC category for your work experience.

You must have had this experience within the last 10 years.

The NOC is a classification system for jobs in the Canadian economy. It describes duties, skills, talents and work settings for occupations in Canada.

Determining Your NOC Category

To determine how many points you can earn for your work experience, go to the Descriptions of Occupations page on the NOC website. You will find a link to the NOC site in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page. Follow the instructions to find the NOC category that matches your work experience.

If the initial description and list of main duties match what you did at your last job(s), you can use this experience to earn points under the selection factors when you apply as a skilled worker.

If the description does not match your work experience, then you might not have the experience you need to apply as a skilled worker. Look through the NOC list to see if another occupation matches your experience. Check all the jobs you had in the past 10 years to see if you have at least one continuous year of work experience in a job that will qualify you as a skilled worker.

You do not meet the minimum requirements if:

none of your work experience is on the NOC list or

your experience did not occur in the 10 years before you applied.

If you do not meet the minimum work experience requirements, your application as a skilled worker will be refused.Experience Maximum 21 points

Dunno about the consultants.  Watched a special on the Canadian news last summer where under-cover reporters paid surprise visits to immigration "consultants" in Toronto with questions.  I forget the number, but the majority were scam artists.  They were mostly Chinese preying on other Chinese though, so you might not encounter so many in that specialisation  here.

As some of you have suggested, to apply for permanent residency in Canada is pretty straight forward o majority of the cases.  The Green Card is only referring to permanent resident of the States, not Canada.  Also, the color of the card for permanent resident card has been changed to white color many yaers ago though most people still refer to green card.

To qualify for Canadian permanent resident visa, you  need to accumulate a total of 67 points (used to be 75 points) which are based on your age, education level, profession, employment status, english proficiency, suitability, and among others. 

Just go to the official canadian immigration website as stated above and u will get all the info.

 God luck~!

Thanks for all your valuable comments.

I agree with Qatari sun. We as individuals do not know whom to contact.I guess they will not entertain in the embassy/ consulate..

In case of agents, they will be representing our case and acting on your behalf.

Yes, at a high price though

But I am still thinking !!!

it's not really doing nothing.. yes, if everything is going smooth, then it's ok, not much work to do.. but if there is some issue on the way... then people just get lost and start making mistakes... and sometimes it's irrevocable..

I recommend you do it yourself. Consultants take too much money for doing nothing.

can you copy furnish it to me? as i'm planning too... Thanks...

Immigration is processing by the Canadian Embassy in UK. Abu Dhabi deals only with visitors/tourists visas . You do NOT HAVE TO do the immigration through the lawyer or representative. But it always helps. I will PM you later, check your Inbox.

... "SUN" is not the mother's child, but our Galaxy's STAR!...

just go to the web site www.cic.gc.ca; whatever u want u will find it there. if u want i read some promotions in gulftimes about consultants; but i don't recommend any.

contact canadian embassy in abu dhabi and ask for reference. you need to have valid agent for this thing, too many crooks going on. be carefull and hope you can get your green card.

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
