same

I also have the same question..

Applied to Buffalo = 15 apr 2002
Got file no. on 30 sep 2002

Wondering what to do about IELTS/TEF? Should I wait till I hear from CIC or go ahead and give exam and send them results.?

Thanks.
 
Kudos for starting this thread. I have been struggling to get some answers on the same question
Folks, where is it mentioned on the CIC website that one MUST take this test? The website clearly states that -

"If you are claiming language skills on your application, you must provide conclusive proof of your language skills. You must choose one of two options to do this. You can:
1. take a language test by an approved organization; or
2. provide other written documentation that supports your claim."

Is option 2 not valid anymore?

thanks
 
Still waiting

sent my application on dec 4th 2001

Got the file number on January 28th 2002

No news after that
 
Question for g_m111

hi g_m111


how come you haven't receive your assessment... i was thinking you should have received yours last february just like imutaban...
check the buffalo tracker...


where did u apply?
 
Hi All

Applied April 2002
AOR received September 2002. the letter stated that my application will be procesed within 30 weeks (we will see :mad:)
Still waiting for initial assesment

Regarding the English language proficiency, I went with option 2 that maximo mentioned above and wrote them a letter stating that I have been living, studying and working in USA for more than five years and I did acquire the language skills that will enable me to settle successfully in canada. I hope it will work..
I just can't immagine that someone who lived in the US, or other English speaking country for that long will have language problems when moving to canada.
All the best

Let us wait and see

Hi All,

I don't think we need to take English proficiency tests...
anyways, i have been checking cic site hoping that they speed up their process of assessment...

currently, they're still in Dec applications therefore those who applied in April(like me) will have to wait ...

initial assessment for April applications might be done only by June or July...
 
Hi annies

I applied to buffalo from the US, on Dec 4th. Then gave me my file no. on 28th Jan 2002. They said I have to wait for 40 weeks.

That was the last correspondence from them. What is the initial assessment stage, what do they send to the applicant.

How can I check the buffalo tracker, is the same as the e-client Online status.

Reply me back
Thanks

Hi g_m111

the buffalo tracker is just another thread here.... just look at the thread title "Buffalo Tracker (pls add)"... this will help you compare your application with the rest of the applicants...


if it says 40 weeks, you should have received yours by Nov but since there is a huge backlog at buffalo then you might received yours by March(hopefully since you didn't receive it by Feb just like imutaban)...


what did the e-client status tell you?
 
hi g_m111

hi g_m111


i added you to the buffalo tracker, let us know as soon as possible if u receive any feedback from them.


it's been pretty slow...
 
Hi Guys,
Could you tell me from which place you guys are applying from canadian immigration ? (is it india or US or Canada)
As I understand that this requirement is different for different country.
I did apply from US, I was not required to submit anything related to language ability in english.
By the way now I am a landed immigrant.
Thanks
