Hi Everybody..

Here comes the notification for 2014-15 FSW. My current employer is telling he cannot give REFERENCE letter for immigration which i am trying for my own. Is it mandatory to have REFERENCE letter? or our Offer letter and hike letters will be enough? Please guide me.

Hello guys,

I have a doubt regaridng FSW2014. We have two recent news regaring Express entry and FSW2014.

My concern is whether both of them are separate program or same? If same, what is the max cap for FSW2014 in each category?

Also please guide me about the fund required. We are a couple planning to apply for FSW. what are the criteria for fund required?

Regards.

they are two different programs. Currently, there is no data regarding Express Entry. However, FSWP 2014. has 50 occupations and each one has 1000 CAP. And total stream has 25,000 CAP
Fund depends on number of family; check this link www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

no

I think CAP is not narrow, so waiting is better than risky quick

If I were you, I will do it.
NB: You need to send original IELTS certificate in both applications

As you already applied for NSNP, it is your own decision to apply for FSWP or not
NB: FSWP takes around 70-80 days to reply by PER, so you will know your result max after 3 months from apply. On the other hand NSNP gives you 6 months after nomination to apply for CIC. You can manage time wisely
