NOC 2174 is Skill Level A, which does qualify. You need to work for 2 years before you can apply.

Changes appear to take effect January 1, 2012. You should be OK, a one-month transition period is described where Buffalo will forward applications to CIO Sydney... http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob368.asp

No, not for the past 10 years. The documents you need to provide are stated in the Document Checklist. There it states that for work experience in Canada, you need to provide Letters of Employment for the past 3 years .

OK, then, for the "part-time" equivalent of full-time work experience, you'll need to work 56 weeks / 13 months.

Do you mean in the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) program, or in the skilled worker stream under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)? Either way, all applications now go to CIO-Sydney, Nova Scotia. But this forum is for CEC applicants...

no, no idea. As far as I can tell, ANY travel outside your country of citizenship or residence in the past 10 years must be included...

As currently written, the issue is whether you have any education in Canada - not whether you are applying as a skilled worker or as a post-grad... and some skilled worker applicants do indeed have education in Canada. They will still need to supply transcripts...

read the new document checklist, and then you tell me :) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/cec.asp

If you've already applied, lucky you. If you are in the middle of preparing your application, Happy New Year - you need to carefully review all the instructions AGAIN to find out what has changed, and revise your application accordingly. So far, changes identified are - - All applications...

If your question is - does an employer have to describe job duties in a letter for someone who wants to apply for permanent residence, then, YES. The letter needs to describe main duties. If cooking is not her main duty, then she would not be able to apply as a "cook." It has to be truthful...

I would phrase it differently - it does not disqualify you, but it does mean that you will have to work longer than 24 months to qualify - At 35 hours per week, 24 months (104 weeks) only gives you 3640 hours. You must also meet the requirement of 3900 hours. An additional 260 hours...

No - the main title of occupations under 0111 is "Financial Managers." So you have to be in a managerial capacity to use that code. Unfortunately, if you are not at the manager level, this is your most likely NOC (1432), which is not classified as "skllled."...

We do not know the specifics of your situation, but CEC does NOT require a certain level of education. However, it does require 2 years of Canadian work experience in a SKILLED occupation (NOC Level O, A or B). There are a number of occupations classified as "skilled" that do not require...

This form has been required of other classes of applicants for some time now (which is why the form has an old date). I too am glad I did not need to complete it, what a nightmare. People who submitted their application before this new requirement are not retroactively required to fill it...

And as hard as it may be to believe, not everyone wants to stay and work here :) Some students want to go home, to their family, friends... A small number are required to do so.

Bottom left-hand corner of all of CIC's forms and guides show their issue/effective date - in this case, 01-2012

Interesting, thanks Molson!

Have to wait and see what other new instructions will be coming - it implies that Buffalo is no longer the main processing center for CEC applications, but don't know yet who will be doing the processing. Perhaps the CPP-Ottawa was so successful that most applications will go there, which would...
