If I understand correctly, you have already sent the necessary documents to ICAI Kanpur to inform them that you want to change your course and start pursuing the CS Executive course instead of the course you initially indicated in Form 112 for articleship. However, ICAI Kanpur is delaying the process, and you're concerned because the last date to join the CS Executive course is approaching.
Here’s what you can consider doing in this situation:
1. **Follow Up with ICAI Kanpur:** - Continue to follow up with ICAI Kanpur regarding the status of your request. You can call them, send emails, or visit their office if possible (considering COVID-19 restrictions). - Politely explain your situation and the urgency due to the approaching deadline for joining the CS Executive course.
2. **Document Communication:** - Keep records of all communication with ICAI Kanpur, including emails, letters, and any responses you receive from them. This documentation will be important for reference and proof of your attempts to expedite the process.
3. **Consider Alternative Communication Channels:** - If phone calls and emails are not getting a response, try contacting them through alternative channels such as social media (if they have an official presence) or reaching out to a higher authority within ICAI for assistance.
4. **Seek Assistance from Local ICAI Branch or Chapter:** - Contact your local ICAI branch or chapter for guidance and support. They may be able to advocate on your behalf or provide insights into the usual processing times for such requests.
5. **Consider Starting the CS Executive Course:** - Given the urgency of the situation and the approaching deadline (28th February), if you have already informed ICAI Kanpur about your intention to change courses and have not received a response, you might consider starting the CS Executive course. - Document your communication with ICAI Kanpur indicating your intention to start the CS Executive course based on their delay in processing your request.
6. **Consult with a Professional:** - If you continue to face delays and are unsure about how to proceed, consider consulting with a professional advisor or mentor who is familiar with ICAI processes. They may provide further insights and guidance based on their experience.
It's essential to act promptly and keep all communications and actions documented to protect yourself in case of any future inquiries or audits. Balancing compliance with ICAI requirements and the urgency of your educational pursuits is crucial, so thorough documentation and clear communication are key in navigating this situation.
