Dear all,

I am an actuary which was internally transferred by company from Hong Kong office to Toronto office. I am currently holding a work permit. I landed at Toronto and started working in Dec 2012. I have a full time, permanent job offer (open end, no contract end date, contract only mentioned it is contingent on maintaining a valid SIN and work permit.)

I am quite sure my work experience is a skill type 0 (managerial occupations) or skill level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades). And I have more than 5 years working experience in the same field before working in Toronto.

I would like to know:

1. If I am considered having a valid offer of arranged employment
2. my eligibility for FSW
3. FSW vs CEC - If I am eligible for FSW, should I apply it at once? Or shall I wait for 1 year and then apply through CEC?
4. FSW vs CEC - which one is easier to get approved? I am afraid if I failed FSW, it will waste my time as I wont apply CEC and FSW at the same time.
5. My wife is accompanying me in Toronto and has a spouse work permit. If I apply through FSW/CEC, can I apply as principal applicant and her as dependant so we can be granted PR at the same time?

Many thanks for your opinion and help!

1. No, your employer has to give you a letter stating that once you are a PR they will employ you fill time.
2. Don't know until FSW opens on May/13
3. Your choice.
4. CEC
5. Yes
