India in a honest manner. Good Luck everybody.<<<<<<<<<<<

saaaaaaad...but very true. I really regret not applying earlier in the old rules. I
never anticipated such a big change in requirements. When I read the proposed changes
- it seemed to me that the rules would suit me better w.r.t educational, spouse
education and experience requirements. But, I see sony's point.

Transcripts- for someone who did graduation 11 years ago and post grad 7 years(in
another state), and now living in another country- its almost impossible to get
transcripts in a sealed envelope. The registrars of the Universities are busy enough-
I would have to take a month off and go personally back to India.

Up to date references from past employers AND business card of referer.- I always
took a letter of reference from past employers...but to ask them to give it now,
after 5 years ( i don't know if the same people still work there!) with me working
in another part of the world.?? I think for me its time to say goodbye to hopes of
living in Canada...or maybe wait for some relaxation of rules.

I scored 82 in the assessment ...(of course that is MY assessment)- i guess the IELTS
is a teeny weeny hurdle..its a sureshot- you will know the results soon, and the
Police Clearance too.. but the document requirements are another matter.

any bright ideas? is there an OR clause in Point 6 of the document checklist
(appendix A)(any one of the docs??)
