One of my email Subscibers asked me a favor, which he thought I will decline. Here's what he wrote.
"Hi Ben,Reading his email has made me realize that throughout my blogging, on FSW Canada, I had helped and touched a person's life.
I have been asking you so many questions and you have been so helpful all the times.
I am not sure you will be able to help me this time. Can we meet one day to check my application package? I don't mind if you say "No" because you have been guiding me all the way until I am ready to submit the application of Canada.
If you can, I can come to your convenient location such as restaurant/Cafe. " T.A.
I am very glad and honored that someone trusts me and believing my advises even though we are fiber-optically apart.
Where Did We Meet?
Finally, after exchanging few emails, we came up with time and place to meet. We planned meeting at a convenient place where there should be a wide table to lay down the documents. The wider the table, the better.
My job in Singapore and overseas is communicating with customers through online and offline, so it's not a problem for me to interact with strangers.
We met at a hawker station and have a little conversation before we begun to check his Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Canada application.
During the review, we came across few things that were needed to be revised and learned some lessons as well. So here are some list of the issues.
The 4 Important Tips
1. The order of the work experience or any dates should be arranged from present (top) to past (bottom).
2. Bringing the complete supporting documents and forms helps a lot in filing.
3. Have 3 hours alloted for the document review.
4. Fill up the forms using a pencil first, so it's easy to edit it during the review and it would be faster to fill it in the PDF forms later.
Due to time constraints, we were forced to transfer to a new venue, from the Hawker station to the 24-hour McDonald outlet. Although it's a good venue but it has a small table to lay down the documents.
We've done the review for about 3 hours, including few discussions on other issues.
What Happened After the Meet-Up?
Few days had past since our last meet-up, he gladly emailed me that his application was already submitted to Nova Scotia, Canada. I was so happy to hear that.
The best words that he said was thanking me and he should have a difficulty in filing the application without my help.
For me, the statement was pretty strong. It made me realize that I have a purpose to blog more and meet people that needs help.
Now, I am hoping for the success of T.A's application and hope that he will update me soon. If he does, I will definitely post it here.
My Idea for MM2C
There's nothing more exciting than meeting my blog readers in person. This way, we can do these activities:
- See each other, eat snacks and chat all we want
- Share knowledge about the FSW Canada application
- Ask questions to other MM2C Subscribers about FSW matters.
