38 Job Occupation list will change from 1 May 2010

[ok1]

Hi .

About the NOC changes, I think its pure speculation. Until the consultations are over (April 16th )and the immigration ministry/advisory boards sits to discuss the needs of the economy, nobody can tell for sure what will happen. For what we know, there may or may not be any changes !
Best to wait and watch and even better is to rush your application to CIO, if you think you qualify now .

About the IELTS, lot of mis-interpretations going around.
The media relase does say that the applicant will have to prove his language ability at the first instance of application and will not be given a chance later.

You can either read it as CIO or at the time of full document transfer to Visa Office. In the past, after receiving the documents at VISA OFFICE, they have requested some applicants to provide proof of language, may be this practise will stop.

Again, to be safe, I sent a copy of my IELTS to CIO . No harm, although it says in bold in the gudielines not to send proof of language to CIO
I did mention in the covering letter, that due to the confusion over language requirements since April 10th, I have enclosed the test results.

Hi, Maran, it appears that you have recently sent your app to CIO?? If yes then, do you mind sharing your timelines. Thanks.

Yes they will change it but it will take some time before all Analasys paralasys is done on the each occupation and skill shortages in different provinces. My guess is they will not change health care related occupations at all.

Seniors and others,

If changes indeed come, people who already got AOR from CIO and now preparing to send additional papers will be safe, arent they?

Every Application gets treatment according to the rules and procedures which exist at the time it was registered. so nothing to worry about.

I applied unedr same NOC i.e. 0111. Sent all the docs as you mentioned above including copy of IELTS. I dont know if its a coincidence, I mentioned `applied for` iagainst the space provided for family passport details. Attached separate sheets for describing job resp. etc.

No need to worry, your application is already locked with old rules

Ankit,

the Problem is if CIC announces anything that could be retroactive.
else, We are locked as you said ! )

 

[ankit_20]

Jnathan as far as I know, none of the past announcements effected applicants who were already locked in.

So relax and enjoy the journey of paper work for immigration

Last time they announced changes in November 2008 but made them applicable from Feb 2008. This could happen time as well. I think it is best to wait till there is clarification on the new NOC List. Then one could apply according to the new rules and new NOC.

Just my opinion... what do you all say.
