All those planning to apply on July 01, 2012 (all NOC's).

[pharmacistfarhan]

Anyone have any idea...when the changes of 2012 will be published...????? what is the right time to apply / send the docs for the FSW 2012...????

Between Jun 25 to Jun 30 the new policy would be published on CIC web site - to the best of my apprehension. You should apply / dispatch your envelope on Jul 01, 2012.

News Release – Building a Fast and Flexible Economic Immigration System

London, April 17, 2012 — The Government of Canada is taking concrete steps to realize its vision of an immigration system that actively recruits talent rather than passively receives and processes all applications, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

“As the Prime Minister has stated, the Government of Canada is committed to making economic and labour force needs the central focus of our immigration efforts,” said Minister Jason Kenney. “We have already begun the groundwork and will be building on this foundation in the months ahead to ensure our long-term economic success.”

As outlined in the Government's Economic Action Plan 2012, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will work with provinces, territories, and employers to create a pool of skilled workers who are ready to begin employment in Canada.

“We are making transformational changes to Canada's immigration system,” said Minister Kenney. “We want a system that is faster, more flexible – a system that attracts younger people who can help grow our economy the minute they arrive in Canada.”

CIC has announced that it is already taking proactive steps towards building a fast and flexible immigration system that meets Canada’s economic needs. For example, the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) points system will be reformed to reflect the importance of younger immigrants with Canadian work experience and better official language skills. Furthermore, CIC will strengthen the assessment of educational credentials to ensure that immigrants are closer to being ready to work upon arrival in Canada. FSW applicants will have their foreign educational credentials assessed and verified abroad as a part of the application process.

Today, Minister Kenney announced two additional changes that will help transform Canada’s immigration system. One proposed change would help CIC ensure FSW applicants meet current labour market needs. It would allow new rules set out in Ministerial Instructions to apply to people who have already submitted an application. For example, instructions could place a priority on a specific occupation, such as doctors, and have existing applications from doctors processed first, regardless of where they are in the queue.

A similar change would allow new regulations, once approved, to apply retrospectively to people who have already submitted an application. These changes would help ensure that immigrants are chosen based on Canada’s current needs and priorities.

“Canada risks losing the global competition for talent as potential immigrants choose to take their skills to other countries with more responsive immigration systems, rather than remain in the queue for years to have their application processed here,” concluded Minister Kenney. “All of the changes we are exploring will make Canada more competitive with other similarly-placed countries and more attractive to the best and brightest from around the world, and will better match our immigration system with the best interests of the Canadian economy.”

Photo of Minister Kenney will be available later today.

farhan congrats buddy ,did u send three document separately.do we need to send 10th and 12th or just university.
Me too sending
Document soon

 

[foruaks]

I am an Architect and I would be applying for FSW 2012. Since my profession comes under regulated professions, my credentials may be needed to be assessed. I found out that the authority which assesses Architects credentials in Canada is CACB and the fees to assess the credentials is approximately $1600 CAD. This fee is quite higher. I am more concerned now because I am not sure if my profession will be there in next years list. If it doesn't come, then its a big money which I am risking. I also would like to know when will CIC publish new rules since most of the decisions are based on that? And also it takes quite a long time to assess credentials. Will that be a part of application process? If my application gets rejected at an earlier stage, then what is the use of assessing the credentials?

I would like to know any of your guys thoughts. Does it make sense to invest $1600 at this stage when things are very unclear?

As of now my lawyer has not informed me about this. He is also not sure how this will work.

 

[siddharth_pharma84]

i personally expect change of
Pointstoage,language~ lot of change especially for regulated profession,work experiencepoints decreased. Credentialassesment
Compulsary.THESE ARE MY OPINION

 

[pharmacistfarhan]

farhan congrats buddy ,did u send three document separately.do we need to send 10th and 12th or just university.
Me too sending
Document soon

I sent 1 envelop (containing application form and docs, other than transcript and licensing statement). The transcript (pharmacy) and licensing statement has already been by my university and Licensing body respectively.....
Answering to your question, we DO NOT need to send 10 th and 12 th grade documents to them...just B-Pharmacy...

Well, at this point in time, we need to take that much risk....means we need to get our credentials evaluated by regulatory authorities..This is very important that we do it now, as what I see, on Jul 01, 2012 we must have our credentials evaluated (see right now time is money, as if we loose this time and think that what if our profession will be no more there in up-date MI and we don't get our docs evaluated now we'll be no where. Think for example, if your profession will be there in up-date MI, but you don't get your docs evaluated now, when on Jul 01, 2012 CAP gets re-open and demands you to have ur credentials evaluated and u apply then for evaluation...by the time you will get your documents evaluation, the CAP reaches to full.........that would be much frustrating... so don't consider money, rather time should be considered right now..

Thanks Farhan ... Just one question, do I need to assess my credentials from regulatory authority or any other assessment authority will be fine?

 

[melaniejo]

Hi, I am hoping to apply for this date. Does anyone know if there is a company that check your application before you send it? The post office does this here for passport forms, to check you have everything necessary. Also, when you are putting in your NOC number, is it the one that is quoted on the NOC webpage? For example, I am a chef and I think my number is 6321. At the part in athe application when it asks you to list your NOC numbers, do i only use this number?? Thanks Mel
