When have you been called for an interview? Can you please let us know your exact timeline. During the interview you will be asked to verify the information you have provided in your application especially about your work experience. Take all the original documents with you.
Do you have your CAIPS notes? If not you should order CAIPS notes. Please remember it takes almost 4-6 weeks to get the notes. If you dont have time to order the notes its Ok. The notes can give you a good idea why you have been called for an interview. Visit www.caipsnotes.com to get more info.
I do not understand how can Indian consulate issue a PCC for Saudi Arabia? Please keep us posted. It is nice we can all just ask our respective consulate (especially if you know someone which I do) to issue us PCC for any country we lived inskriyaz said:Now I am living in Texas, Can you please suggest me, How can I get PCC for/from Saudi Arabia?
I think you should make sure if it will accepted if you get PCC for Saudi Arabia from Indian consulate..

You are right, we don't know if the PCC for Saudi Arabia issued by the Indian Embassy will be accepted, but then again it is issued by an Embassy. When an Embassy issues a PCC it gets in touch with its couterpart (i.e Indian Embassy at Saudi Arabia) who makes the necessary inquiries and then advises the Embassy in Chicago if it is ok to issue the PCC. The Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia will not serve you directly. I did approach them, it was they who told me to contact the Chicago Embassy.
The Embassies have the authority to issue PCC.
I am relatively new to this CA forum and am planning to apply for CA GC down the line (my US gc is going nowhere).
- Where can I get the PCC in India? I thought I will as well get it as I am visiting India soon. Does it have to be in a particular format (stamp paper etc)?
- Are the medicals for US GC and CA GC different?
- I have read many people saying that they are applying as a back to their US gc. In what ways would do you expect it to help you? If there has been a discussion on this topic before, kindly point me to that. I am trying to make myself more aware on the possibilities.
thanks in advance.

Excellent idea to go for IELTS. It definitely helps the case per my experience. A good thing is to not delay your application by waiting for the IELTS results. You can submit your application and then give the exam - that way you get your process started.
On your other questions.
1) In your covering letter be honest and let them know you are including old experience letters and that the companies do not exist any more. If you have an old W2 from that time or old pay stubs include that also.
2) No need for Canadian evaluation. I think the US evaluation may help. Didnt face the scenario as I have US degrees.
3)Yes, please do fingerprint and medical later. It is a waste of time and money to submit now because they are both only valid for 1 yr and Consulate will ask you to get both done again anyway.
4)Application fee in US dollars is fine. Doesnt matter if it is one money order/Cashiers checlk or 2. For latest rates refer to Buffalo consulate website under the fees section.
5) Bank letter is fine but it is better than that to provide bank statements for last 3-4 months, that way they know you have track record and that you have not borrowed someone else's money only for a few days to show a high balance.
Hope this helps.

Canadian PR - PLEASE ADVICE
Hi experts,
I urgently need advice on my Candian PR case.
My wife and I applied for Canadian PR in Jan 2004. Last week, our attorney informed us that interview waiver has been granted and we need to go for medicals. They are asking us for $700 (as per our agreement) and then they will forward medicals instructions to us.
Now, we were also simultaneous applicants for US GC. Yesterday, after 2 years of waiting, my wife's I-485 (primary EB applicant) was approved. My (derivative) I-485 is still pending, I am hoping it will be approved soon. Both of us hold jobs in California.
DO YOU FOLKS THINK IN LIGHT OF GETTING US GC APPROVED, IS IT STILL WORTH SPENDING MONEY AND PURSUING CANADIAN PR?
Thank you very much for your responses!

I believe Texancanadian has answered your questions accurately. But just wanted to add that Buffalo has very recently changed there requirement regarding FBI clearance. Now you are required to submit clearance alongwith the application. Check the following link for additional details:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E37048.pdf
Buffalo sends medical forms to applicants after the initial assessment is done (i.e. approx. 9-12 months after sending the application to Buffalo). So you cant get medicals done now.

Guys - texancanadian, kenny04,
Thanks so much for detailed responses....
I already checked with Buffalo regarding fees etc .... it still remains the same - police clearance and fingerprinting & medicals should be done after they mail instructions to do so.
I just hope that in the next 15 months I can get as close as I can to PR.
God bless
