see the second entry in the following topic,
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/common-questions-t13225.0.html

you could look at that and decide whether you qualify for FSW category 1.

Rupesh :

How long will it take to process from India? will it be same band 6-12 months?

Bcoz older process took ~18months if you apply from US & ~7 years if you apply from India, so is this distinction still there? or flat 6-12months? for fsw1

Any1 who applied with new process with fsw1 got approval from sydney office?

i got approval from sydney as other have too.

We are not sure whether the average will be between 6 to 12 months or everyone will be between 6 to 12 months (by everyone, i mean like 80% of the people). I think it is the former, where the average all over the world will be between 6 to 12 months. Places like New Delhi will probably get the highest improvement, but I doubt that it will come down to 6 to 12 months. I am purely guessing all this. Of course, there is no statistics yet to back anything up.

I just read a post by BCGuy who said it should be 6 to 12 months for everyone so thats good news for those in New Delhi.
