What's your NOC raging bull?

Re: Chinese Friends in Here Ashief---eee, Thanks for bringing up some very valid points. What you said made me very curious and I Googled to see if I could find average IELTS performances by countries. And I came across this link...

Re: Chinese Friends in Here The Chinese applicants are the great unknown! Chinese population is about 1/4th of the world and as you may expect China is likely to send the greatest number of applicants to the FSW program. Yet, there are only a few Chinese applicants on the forum and only a few...

@ Abhi and Oscar After reading your answers, I gave some thought why the spreadsheet says August 21 was when the cap was reached for those occupations. Who ever entered that on the spreadsheet was not misleading. What I think happened was that was when CIC let everyone know that the cap was...

I was just looking at the FSW '13 spreadsheet and according to the sheet NOC stats, the cap for the very hot NOC 1112 and 2174 occupations closed on the 21st of August last year. IS THIS CORRECT? I thought those two occupations got filled very quickly, especially since there was a quota of just...

Thanks for that very clear answer. And best of luck with your application.

I've been perusing the FSW 2013 spreadsheet. I noted that a few members from last year have the acronym COPR under the visa issued column. What does COPR stand for and under what circumstances is it issued instead of a visa?

I know there will be a provincial expression of entry. Will there be a federal expression of entry as well?

I've noted some people opining on this forum that it will take more time for NOC 1112 to fill up as many other finance related categories have opened up this year. I disagree! While many finance related categories have indeed opened up the jobs are very different and job duties hardly overlap...

I have been busy with work and have not gotten a chance to visit this website frequently. So, CIC has posited the first update on the number of applications it has received. Am I right in reading the information correctly that it had received 43 applicants for NOC 1112 on the first day itself...

One more thing not having a job offer will also have no bearing on your application. Notice that almost all on the FSW spreadsheet have no job offer

I just checked last year's spreadsheet for your occupation (Civil Engineers). The cap for 2131 was reached last year, but only in November. Since each occupation's cap has been increased to a 1000 this year, hopefully, your application will reach before the cap. Here is last year's...

IELTS maybe full until the 10th of July in India, but there could be available spaces in neighboring countries. Try calling British Council in places such as Malaysia and Sri Lanka. They may not be full for the test dates in June

@ Ohai To be eligible for this year's program your occupation has to be one of the 50. On January 1st 2015 Canada will switch to a new immigration system where you can express your interest in migrating to one of Canada's provinces and if your job and skills are in demand they might give you a...

Despite the appeal of so many members on this forum, many silent visitors have decided, for whatever reason, not to enter their details on the global spreadsheet and are only now starting to emerge out of the woodwork! So much for the spirit of helping each other and sharing whatever we know!

@ ravi 12 Based on your comments on this forum, it appears that you have regularly visited this forum. Yet, I don't see your name on the FSW spreadsheet. Out of curiosity, may I know why you didn't enter your info on the spreadsheet?

@ Shah2014, rakeshtk, and Can2174 Thank you very much guys for all those reasons. I just talked to my friend and mentioned the reasons you guys said. She has calmed down a lot now and is now optimistic again. Again, thank you for your replies.

Hello all, A girl who works with me applied under NOC 1112 this year. I introduced her to this website and spreadsheet and showed her member forum posts about CCs getting charged. She went into full-blown panic when she found out that a member who had submitted after her in her category had...

@ blindvia I noted the Bib passages that you have on your profile and looked them up. Thank you for sharing them - they gave me strength.
