Hello All, I know that, as of Aug-23, 2013, 116 applications submitted with NOC 2147 (Computer Engineers) have been acknowledged as "received" by CIC. I am just wondering whether it is too late to apply under that NOC this year. Thanks.

Currently, according to the CIC website, they have accepted only 38 applications for processing sent by those who applied for NOC-2147. Does it mean there is a long queue of more NOC-2147 application envelopes that are piled up at CIC desks that CIC officers have not opened yet?

the list is updated every week.

Anybody? Or, is it a forbidden question to ask?

Hello Everyone, Here is a bit of history from 2008. If you remember, in 2008, a reduced set of accepted occupations was introduced by CIC for the first time and ever since that the trend has continued till now, resulting in a new set of occupations pretty much every year. The list introduced...

Hi All, I am the principal applicant. So, is it necessary for both me and my spouse to prove proficiency in French? Will the immigrant officer also ask my spouse questions in French? Thanks.

Hi Leon, LMO exemption still holds for certain IT workers who wish to work in Quebec and BC. Upon the request made by Quebec and BC, the extemption period was extended till Sep 30, 2011. For Quebec, it remains as LMO-free as before whereas for BC one or two Gov't bodies have to be notified...

thanks. but until september30 2011, there are 7 categories of software professionals for whom LMO is not required in Quebec. Only CAQ will suffice. Rgirish applied under one of those 7 categories. That's why I was wondering why LMO was needed in this case.

hi rgirish, Wow, so neat and clean your case was! But, if LMO is not required then why did your employer submit LMO application?

Hi. Wouldn't anyone like to share comments?

(Before I begin, I would be happy to be proven wrong.) With tight requirements (i.e. job offer) on all other provincial nomination options, the Quebec option seems to favour a lot of us who are willing to learn French up to a practical level. But, this option, I am afraid, may tempt even those...

Hi, Anybody care to reply to my post above regarding an example scenario for education? I am sure that would help others who have similar confusions. Thanks. mcgyver

Hi, I would like to have one thing clarified regarding education. As I understand, the education criterion has 3 sub-criteria under it. 1. level of education 2. area of training 3. Quebec diploma If someone graduated from the University of Ottawa with a bachelor's degree in Computer...

Hi All, I was surfing the Post Graduation Work Permit Program pages on CIC. The pages indicate that a student, having successfully completed his/her program of study, has 90 days to apply for a post graduation work permit which requires no job offer. Please consider this scenario: A student...

Thanks Essat. In fact, I came back to delete my post and then saw your post. Yes, I re-checked with the CIC website and found out that I had confused the international student sections of respectively CEC and FSW. I have removed my previous message just now. In fact, I am so happy to have found...

One can enjoy the best of what Canada offers, given that he/she has enough money. It is not wise to slip into the traps of loans set by financial institutes in Canada.

josinyc, have you ever lived in canada on a student/work permit? if so, then the client id of your permit may be used to check your status of your new application. pls try.

I heard of a revised list too. I mean it is theorecital that in the month of November every year a new list will come up. That's yet to be seen since last November was the month that the new rules just came up. So, we will have to see if it is indeed true that every November will bring a new list.

Try marrying an immigration officer; all problems resolved.
