There you go, buddy. Congrats. Update the spreadsheet, please. Also, have you done any research towards getting your P.Eng licencing from whichever province you plan to go?

Don't worry. As your mode of payment is DD, the clearing of the payment lags the credit card charging by about a week. I am a December 12th applicant, and my CC was charged on Feb 5th. I would think 18th-20th would be about the time for your DD to be cashed. Good luck to you.

To be honest, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this query. For example, if it is just a couple, and no kids, it might be better for both of you to go and get settled in together. If you have kids, you have to look at the start of school year, etc. Even though Canadian schools have to enrol...

I thought the whole point of CIC pitching the FSW NOCs was that there was a shortage of skilled professionals in those particular NOCs. If there are already Canadian engineers to take up the jobs, why on earth do they want more of us to immigrate there?

Oh, India is plenty corrupt, my friend. As a small businessman in India, I end up paying most of what I earn in either taxes or bribes. Even if I wanted to complain, I'd probably have to bribe people to take the complaint. That's one of the main reasons I am thinking of emigrating.

I'm a director in a construction company as well as partner in a structural design firm. As such, I can continue the design work in Canada also, while my partner manages the administration of the design firm here in India. So I would not really be quitting my job here. I would be continuing it...

My app received date was 12th December. My card was charged on 5th Feb. Don't worry. Our NOC will get capped, and I'm sure the overall FSW will also not get capped. If everything else is ok, you are sure to get your PR.

It is certainly my intention to start a business after 3-4 years of working in Canada. In a field like mine (Civil and structural engineering), the national codes/ regulations vary from country to country. It's not like the software industry where standards are global. So I would need 3-4 years...

India is no longer exactly "third world". I have a pretty good life here now. I was thinking things might be better in Canada, considering all the hype being created about a large part of the workforce retiring, which have to be replaced with skilled immigrants. But going through the thread...

Make sure you inform CIC of any such changes. When they do a background check/ physical check at your old workplace, it should not come as a surprise to them.

Are these stats only for NOC 2172, or all?

As per CIC, the threshold is 4.5 it is 4.5 - 5 = 4 5 - 5.5 = 5 5.5 - 6 = 6 6 - 7.5 = 7 7.5 - 8 = 8 8 - 8.5 = 9 Above 8.5 = 10

Thank you, sir.

Folks, OK. I have been charged the processing fee (1250 CAD). Now what? When do I get the UCI? Will they send me a mail, or do I have to call them, or what? Guidance in further steps appreciated. Thanks in advance. Rahul.

You need IELTS 7.5 to get CLB 8. From 6 to 7.5 (IELTS) is equivalent to CLB 7, ie. 6,6.5 and 7.

Well then, Maybe I should just stay in India.

Then what is the point of Canada having programs like the FSW, etc. They advertise saying there's a huge dearth of professionals in certain skills and professions, and so they want people to immigrate and fill those vacancies. And apparently, corporate Canada does not agree with Canadian...
