Despite the title 'Software Engineer' these requirements better fit 'Software Analyst' or 'Software Designer' as I consider an 'Software Engineer' to be all of these things plus actually writing, testing, modifying code. The NOC 2173 description also indicates that you should hold a Master's...

Correct. They more than tripled it. My bad. :D

If you can qualify then use 2173 as it has a higher barrier of entry due to the job description requirements. 2174 is more likely to reach it's cap sooner than 2173.

Lucky they doubled the cap or I wouldn't make it this year.

You need to wait roughly 3 weeks to have your payment taken. Mine arrived June 9th so I need to wait about 4 weeks.

I hadn't seriously considered Ottawa as I was mainly focused on Toronto/Vancouver but after reading it makes sense to take it into consideration. http://www.livingin-canada.com/living-in-ottawa.html

That's funny because on another thread I was told that my relationship to my wife doesn't count for anything. Our marriage wasn't a good enough 'compelling reason to return'.

Great post. Where's best for software jobs?

I recently had a TRV refused - my case is similar to yours except we've done some travelling in the EU. Does your wife work?

It won't worsen the application. If you mention them and are rejected with 'truthfulness' removed from the list then you'll know that's why. Have you addressed the insufficient funds?

I've wrote to the Canadian High Commission here in the UK to ask for clarification on 3 of the rejection points: * Your travel history * Your immigration status * Your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence I'd like to know if they only allow visas for people who have travelled...

That's what I thought. Thanks.

British citizens can visit visa free but I needed a visa for my wife. I intended to travel with my wife to Toronto this month and applied for a tourist visa for her to accompany myself. Her status in the UK is FLR(M) which entitles her to live and work here in the UK. I submitted a TRV visa...

Not 'official' figures though are they.

You can chance it and explain in a covering letter that you are separated and she does not intend to travel with you. Seek divorce in the meantime.

Caps don't rollover year-on-year so the answer is no. The cap might be reset but it's clear reading the comments in this thread is that nobody knows if FSW will reopen for 2014 in the next 2 weeks.

After reading the requirements for the FSW program I decided to run through the wizard to see if I qualify. The wizard says I do not but I do meet the FSW requirements. The wizard doesn't ask: If I have "at least one year of continuous and paid (full-time or an equal amount in part-time)...

Yes your wife can apply for a spouse visa, however there are requirements to meet: w_w_w.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/partners-families/citizens-settled/spouse-cp/can-you-apply/ Noticeable the financial requirements - You must have an income of at least £18,600. Good luck.
