Hi all,

Pretty displeased at the moment as just got my PR application sent back to me months after I submitted telling me that all gaps of 3 months or more must be 'explained'. It makes no mention of this stipulation on the form, only in the Personal History section does it say no gaps, so I made sure and entered that I was travelling during those periods... Grrrrrr if only they'd actually read the whole application.

So what now? I just submit the same documents with a letter pointing out the info the already had and take my place right at the back of the line!? Anyone know any tricks to get their attention drawn to this stuff?

This is the latest in a long line of frustrations with Canadian immigration, starting to wonder if it's all worth it....

Sorry to hear this, but they are very precise about it - even a blank space where you should have written 'N/A' will result in an application being returned. If you are worried about resubmitting, you could always pay a consultant to check the forms over (usually costs around £500).

Not a lot you can do I'm afraid other than reapply. What NOC code are you applying under, is it one of the ones likely to fill quickly?

Good luck second time around!

I have a question about N/A. On the form IMM1344 where it asks about a co-signer. I do not have one, so my question is, do I need to write NA in every box that refers to questions about the co-signer?

Sorry to hear about your delay, it must be frustrating. Im applying for PR through spousal sponsorship and in any questions regarding the co signer I put N/A in Question 1 and left the others in that section blank, assuming this was obvious to them I didnt have a co signer. Im sending my app in a few days so would be interested to see what others did. I suppose when immigration are concerned you should assume nothing, good luck sending it this time!

Right, you would think that is enough. Hopefully someone else answers this question.
