Dear Sir,
Sorry to disturb you again but matter is of utmost urgency for me.I have just got an e mail from CIC New Delhi gist of which is as follows.
*****************
Dear Sir/Madam,
In order to continue the assessment of the application you submitted to this office, you must submit the following information:
We are in the process of reviewing your application for permanent residence in Canada as a Skilled Worker under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
The Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations require that applicants provide all information and documents required for the assessment of their applications. The selection criteria are clearly defined and your eligibility as a Skilled Worker will be assessed on the basis of the evidence provided by you. Please submit the following documents and information to our office in order for us to assess your application:
LIST OF DOCUMENTS REQUIRED:
1- IRPA Application Forms:
Please provide an updated application form (IMM0008), Schedules 1 and 3, and Additional Family Information form (IMM5406) for you, your spouse, and all family members who are 18 years old or older. If you are using the services of a paid representative, you must also provide a signed Use of Representative form (IMM 5476). You can obtain these forms on the following website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/application-regular.asp
All the questions must be answered. If a question is not applicable, you should write "not applicable" in the appropriate space. Leave no gaps in your personal history and address history as you must list all details from your 18th birthday onwards.
2- Proof of Experience:
IMPORTANT: In order to determine if you meet the minimal requirements for continued processing, documents and information provided by you must demonstrate that you have at least one year of continuous, full-time employment experience, or the equivalent in continuous, part-time employment, in one or more occupations that are listed in Skill Type O management occupations or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification matrix (see http://www23.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/2001/e/generic/matrix.pdf). Pursuant to subsection 75(3) of the IRPA Regulations, if you fail to meet this minimum requirement, your application shall be refused and no further processing is required.
Please provide original, updated experience and/or employment letters which clearly describe your job duties for all occupations in which you wish to be assessed. Your employer should provide specific, work-related examples of these duties. Job contracts and reference letters are important, but must include a detailed description of all duties and responsibilities that you perform and have performed in the occupation(s) in which you wish to be assessed. Proof of your self-employment: Provide copies of business/company registration documents proof of
business conducted with clients (such as invoices/bills, client references), balance sheets, income tax returns, and/or proof of your license to practice (if you are a private practitioner)
Other examples of documentation that you can provide are pay stubs (salary slips) and/or income tax documents. You may provide all documentation which you think will demonstrate your employment and experience. All employment and experience documents must be originals.
At this office, applications are often refused because applicants fail to provide sufficient information to establish their eligibility. You are therefore requested to provide a complete, detailed, and accurate description of your duties. A personal interview is not required in order to assess your application, nor will we convoke you to interview in order to collect additional information for the purpose of assessing whether you meet the criteria established for Skilled Workers. The onus is on you to provide sufficient documentary evidence to demonstrate that you meet the requirements.
3- Relative in Canada:
Please provide certified copies of educational documents which show parents? names, birth certificates, passports, etc. that prove your (or your accompanying spouse?s) relationship with your (or your accompanying spouse?s) relative in Canada. Affidavits and statutory declarations are not satisfactory proof of relationship.
Please provide certified copies of official documents which show that your (or your accompanying spouse?s) relative in Canada is either a Permanent Resident or Canadian Citizen.
Please provide copies of documents which show that your (or your accompanying spouse?s) relative is residing in Canada. These can include documents such as income tax information, latest pay slips, credit card statements etc. Affidavits and statutory declarations are not satisfactory proof of residence in Canada.
4- Proof of Education:
If you have completed additional study or training programs since you first applied for admission to Canada, please provide marks cards for all years that you attended school, and a graduation diploma issued on the completion of the program of study or training. All documents must be certified.
5- Language Skills:
Officers no longer assess language proficiency at interview. Language proficiency is assessed on the basis of a test done by an approved testing organization or evaluation by the officer of written evidence of proficiency submitted by the applicant.
If you are claiming English language skills, and English is not your native language, we strongly recommend that you take the IELTS language test. Conclusive proof of your language ability is required. For more information, refer to Citizenship and Immigration Canada?s Language Proficiency web page at www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/qual-3.html. For more information on IELTS, please consult http://www.ielts.org/. You must submit the original Test Report Form, not a photocopy. Do not alter or laminate the form.
If you are claiming French language Skills and you take the TEF (Test d??valuation du fran?ais) please provide the results including Speaking and Writing (two optional tests which have to be requested when you apply to take the test).
Language proficiency may be assessed, as noted above, by an officer based on other evidence in writing submitted in support of the application. Documentation comprising "written evidence" in lieu of a language test may not successfully demonstrate language proficiency. Under no circumstance will an officer conduct an interview to assess language proficiency. Completing the IELTS and TEF tests is the best way to have your language proficiency evaluated and clearly assessed by an officer.
6- Spouse/Common-law Partner:
If your spouse will be accompanying you to Canada, you must pay the processing fee to add your spouse to your application. Please note that, if your spouse has completed post-secondary education or has studied or worked in Canada, you can be awarded additional points for adaptability. These points will be awarded only if your spouse is accompanying you to Canada, provided the processing fee for your spouse has been paid. In addition to paying the fee to include your spouse in your application, you must provide certified documents to support your spouse?s education, work, or study.
7- Other Documents:
You must provide a police certificate or clearance or record of no information indicating any record or the absence of a criminal record for yourself, your spouse or common-law partner, and all of your dependent children aged 18 and over. You must obtain certificates or clearances from every country that you, your spouse or common-law partner, and your dependent children over 18 have lived in for more than six months since reaching 18 years of age. Consult our Web site at www.cic.gc.ca/english/police-cert for specific information on how to obtain police certificates from different countries.

Proof of available and transferable funds that you can take to Canada;
Photocopies of all the pages of your (and your spouse?s and accompanying dependants?) previous and/or current passports;
Travel history form for you, your spouse, and your accompanying dependants 18 and over (as per the attached form)

they want current information. if you are in the process of divorce, it is lying to say otherwise and yes... your estranged wife will not be eligible for immigration. Either she is your wife, or she isn´t. At this moment, should you say all is well with your wife so she can get her PR, you would be lying and if found out - you would BOTH be stripped of your PR. Don´t be tempted.
