Hi Gullu & Chandraday

Thanks for putting an excellent effort to bring all the 2004 applicants in a platform.I had applied at 2004 and got File no at Feb 2005. I am also located at Delhi.

Heard from some agents that HRDC approved job offer can expedite the process.Does any body have any clear idea about that. Mr Gullu , you mentioned that you had applied through agent.If you do not have any obligation , can you let us know which agent did you hire?
some agents play some unethical games.So every body in this board can be aware also who is good or bad.People can share there personal experiences.

Regards

Rajarshi

Hi PMA - I don't know how this 5 Year thing came up in this thread (probably somebody was referring this as the normal waiting period), I have applied only last year. Yes, I did submitted by IELTS test results

Rajarshi, I haven't hired any agent. I have applied on my own. Don't see a point paying 50-60K just for filling up the forms when I can do that myself. Yes, I too heard that HRDC approved job offer can really help but the problem is how to get it?

1. Better earning prospects.
2. Ability to save more.
3. Better standard of living.
4. Safe and secure future.
hows this for starters?

* The info given on CHC, New Delhi may be right at this moment
* There are lots of info on various forums of "Canadian Desi".
* There is no value addition to your application by going thru' a consultant. It is waste your money..!
* Getting the HRDC approved job offer is difficult. There are lots of cheats around, be careful.
* Do not wait for your Canadian immigration & waste your time. Work normally as if you have not applied for immigration.
* Start acting only when you get the medicals may be after few years(If you still think that you have to immigrate to Canada).

This info is based on my personal experience & of few friends of mine, as I have been waiting since March 2002.....

Thanks Mr Gullu and Procan for their inputs.
Procan , you had mentioned there are cheats who offer HRDC validated jobs. Did you come across any body? How they make people fool.
Some agents in Delhi are offering HRDC jobs.Would it be wise to go with them if I want to hasten the PR visa process.What should be in our check lists while dealing with them.

Seeking advice from all across the board.

Regards
Rajarshi
