2014 FSW-Arranged employment-Lets update here

[chris5678]

Hey rimi,
I got the mail from ciip,, remember ? We got it on sep19,, I got it again last week,, that's indicating they have started my security checks,, I may get ppr by early jab or before,, this is because of medical survellance ,, now it's cleared ,,

 

[rimi3008]

I really wish they send it before jan as it will be a good christmas gift for u. It feels so unfair that they hold your ppr and sent for rest of us, though we all were on almost same track. I really wish they send it next week as ndvo said they will start sending ppr in end of nov. I wish they go with this plan.

Hello All, I have few queries, please help..

I am currently in Canada on a Spousal Open Work Permit. I'm working as a QA Analyst here which, I believe, falls under NOC 22XX category which is not among the 50 eligible occupations of FSW 2014.

I would like to apply for PR under FSW 2014 but my eligible experience is under the category 2173.

So my queries are:

1) Can I apply for FSW with NOC 2173 as primary category and show my job offer in Canada, which is under another NOC, as Arranged Employment?
2) Does my employer have to show LMO as I am currently working under an LMO exempted category (Spousal Open Work Permit and my spouse works for a job which is in NOC A)?
3) Till what date has the applications for FSW 2014 under arranged employment been taken till now?

Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello Kareem,

Based on what I have read on the cic website, you can apply under FSW 2014 under arranged employment as
Long as you have "A valid job offer has to be for permanent, full-time and not seasonal work in an NOC 0, A or B occupation" source cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp?expand=arranged#arranged

You fall under an LMO/LMIA exempt category, and therefore, you do not require one to qualify. Source cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit.asp

It is still unclear when the last date of application receipt for FSW 2014 will be. However, based on a recent statement by CIC, "All eligible applications received before January 1st will be considered for processing based on current guidelines." Suggests that December 31, 2014 will be the end of it. source cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-how.asp

So if you have 1 or more year experience as a qa analyst (NOC 2171), and you will score 67 or more points based on the grid(cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp) you should definitely apply before December 31, 2014.

I hope this helps, and if anyone has differing or additional information, please post so that we can all learn from each other.

Btw I applied on November 5, 2014 under arranged employment, NOC 1221, awaiting a response from CIC.

Best of luck to you Kareem. And to us all.

Cheers!!!!!

I just want to correct you under a MAJOR THING: he has to apply for a lmia if he wants to apply for arranged employment. The excemption applies only if "the worker is on an LMO-exempt work permit that does fall under an international or federal-provincial agreement" quoted from cic website.

*You currently work in Canada in a job that is exempt from the LMIA requirement under:

an international agreement (such as, the North American Free Trade Agreement) or
a federal-provincial agreement.

Quick question; when you click on "exempt from the LMIA requirement"; the cic goes into further details about the persons who are LMIA Exempt, and spouses are listed there, kindly explain this for me. Thanks

Additionally, Kareem I think you should explore the option of The Canadian Experience Class, as long as you have completed the 12 months required.

Hi Doubles, that link explains the broad definition of LMIA exempt but doesn't mean it applies to arranged employment requirement. That's why they put that specific category under:
•an international agreement (such as, the North American Free Trade Agreement) or
•a federal-provincial agreement.

This is my understanding, just sharing my thoughts.

Hi Ms.Reannox

Thanks.

If his job is falling under noc a b or o then he is good to go for cec. Though
Lmia is required for fsw.
