Dear friends,

If I apply for PR and claim points for my spouse education, and if she is comming with me to Canada, than why is it necessary to transfer my wife's money to my account for proof of funds? If CIC accept her points for eligibility, than why wouldn't they accept her money as well? We are married right? Isn't this enough proof of joint relationship?

Seniors, please clarify this in detail if possible?

I can't find this in the instructions guide, where it says that money should be on principal's applicant name only.

I would't worry if I were you. My wife is the principal applicant and the funds were in my account, still we got PER. Just waiting for medicals now.

Proposed Changes on Canada FSW points system - what you should do
Posted: 19 Apr 2012 04:36 AM PDT
For some time now, Canada has been using points system to determine an applicants chances of qualifying in their FSW Points system(clicking on this link will show you current points system).

A year ago, Citizenship and Immigration Canada Proposed Changes to Canada's FSW Points System. There is a great chance that changes in the Points System will be implemented this coming July 2012, when the Ministerial Instruction 5, or new changes on the regulation will be put in place.

So what are the proposed changes to Canada's FSW Points System?


Since February 2008, when Canada introduced the changes in the Federal Skilled Worker Program - FSW, skilled or trades Workers such as Welders, Plumbers, Electricians, Pipefitters, Cooks and the like are having a difficult time qualifying because the current points system placed great emphasis on an applicants college education and high English test result (IELTS) requirement.

The proposed changes on the FSW Points system, now aims to correct this by adjusting certain criterias to give consideration on Skilled workers.

1. Requiring a minimum level of language proficiency
The maximum points awarded for proficiency in the first official language may be increased from 16 to 20 points, and a more flexible IELTS requirement may be introduced, based on the applicants occupational skill level. In a nutshell, it will give Tradespeople a better chance to meet the requirement.

Do to the current rule that IELTS test is a must, getting better scores in the English exam that gauges your skill in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening English will improve your chances in passing the assessment. The goodnews is, IELTS content is everyday ordinary English, meaning the more you practice it the better your results will get.

To read more about IELTS please click on the following link:

IELTS TEST

2. Placing greater emphasis on younger workers
A maximum of 10 points is awarded to applicants within the 21-49 years old brachet, in the current points system. The proposal is to award a maximum of 12 points until age 35, with diminishing points awarded until age 49. No age points would be awarded after age 50.

3. Making the program more accessible to skilled tradespeople
Other than changes in the IELTS, reducing the number of years of education required to claim points for a trade or other non-university credential would help trades or skilled people. This proposed change would help improve access for skilled tradespeople, technicians and apprentices who did not finish Bachelors Degree courses in college. There are many skilled and experienced Filipino welders but won't qualify under the current points system due to Education factor. Not many welders, if not most, have a University degree.

4. Redirecting points from work experience to other Criterias
The present criteria awards a total of 21 points for Work experience, the proposal is to set it to 15.

5. Reducing the potential for fraudulent job offers
The proposed changes will put emphasis in finding out if a Job offer is real or not and might require employers to sign a document attesting their intention to hire the immigrant. They could also include restrictions for employers who don't comply with this intention.

I just would like to stress that these are proposals based on the previous publications of the Canadian Government. Knowing them now will help you get ready for your time when your time to apply comes.

The current program on the FSW requires applicants to submit the full application package or the complete set of documents at the beggining of the application. It also puts a restriction on the time an applicant can send an application, and a quota on the number of applicants who can apply. Moreover, there is a list of eligible occupations who can apply. The said list is published every July 1, the effectivity is also July 1.

Which means that only those ready at the time their occupations are called in the priority list will have the chance of getting a permanent residents Visa. The game plan is to be ready at all times. The documentary requirements for almost all of the Permanent Residents Visa programs for Canada is almost the same. Being ready all the time or completing the application requirements, means you are making yourself eligible to apply for the different programs of Canada.

Not starting on your application plan for Canada would on the other hand mean, that you will miss out every time there is a program applicable to you because you did not plan your application properly.

Act now, and make sure that you do not keep on missing the chance to get a Permanent Residents Visa. Start with your application right now!

I'm a Registered Nurse. Where should my credentials be assessed? Is it here? http://www.cicic.ca/415/credential-assessment-services.canada

I'm so confused.

The answer to your question may be as under:

Information for foreign-trained registered nurses

(3012) Verified: 2011 10 17
Information on requirements to practise

All nursing professions are regulated in Canada. This means that you must be registered with one of the provincial or territorial regulatory bodies to be authorized to practise as a nurse in Canada. When you know where you will settle and work in Canada, you should contact the appropriate provincial/territorial regulatory body (see list below) for more specific information.

In order to obtain the designation Registered Nurse (RN), candidates must apply for registration, have their credentials assessed, and pass the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) or, for Quebec, l'examen professionnel de l'Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec. The provincial/territorial regulatory bodies register the applicants in their jurisdiction who meet their professional criteria and standards of practice. These regulatory bodies, with the exception of the College of Nurses in Ontario and the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec, are member bodies of the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA). The CNA does not regulate individual nurses. However, there is information, tools and resources accessible from the CNA website that may be of assistance to internationally educated nurses seeking to be registered and practise in Canada.
CNA Certification

The CNA, in collaboration with specialist nursing associations, offers voluntary certification in several nursing specialties or areas of nursing practice. Each of these nursing specialties or areas of nursing practice has its own national professional association.

For more information on membership, specialization, and certification, you can contact the CNA at

Canadian Nurses Association (CNA)
50 The Driveway
Ottawa ON K2P 1E2 Canada
Phone : 613-237-2133

Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurses

Psychiatric nursing is regulated as a distinct profession in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Please consult our occupational profile for registered psychiatric nurses for specific information.
Information on assessment of qualifications

The regulatory body for nursing in each province and territory handles the assessment of qualifications for internationally educated nurses and the scheduling of nurses to write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination. With special permission, candidates may write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination in a Canadian province or territory other than the one in which they reside. However, candidates cannot write the exam outside Canada.

Even if you are already licensed to practise a regulated occupation in Canada, employers may request that you provide them with a formal assessment of your academic credentials.

If that is the case, or if you wish to have your credentials assessed for a purpose other than practising a regulated occupation in Canada, you may consult our Fact Sheet No. 2, "Assessment and recognition of credentials for the purpose of employment in Canada" and contact an academic credential evaluation service. Although evaluation services offer expert advice on how qualifications obtained abroad compare with academic credentials obtained in Canada, their evaluations are advisory only and do not guarantee recognition of your qualifications for employment or certification purposes in Canada. Please note that evaluation services charge a fee for their assessments.

Other relevant information

The Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) accredits university and college nursing programs at the baccalaureate level in Canada, but is not responsible for requirements for entry to practise of this occupation (RN or RPN). It is the nursing regulatory bodies that set the standards for entry to practice and the schools of nursing prepare the learners to graduate nursing with these competencies. For more information on member schools, nursing programs, CASN databases on nursing education and research, CASN standing committees and task forces, standards of excellence for nursing education, you can contact the association through inquire@casn.ca.

Hi,

Can anyone please provide clarity on the following 2 points:

1.The process of licencing and credential assessment is required only after we get the PR visa right under Skilled Federal Program right?.It is not required as part of the application process right?

2. Are Transcripts necessary to be shown for educational qualifications or are certificates enough for that purpose?

Thanks

Although at this point in time, credential assessment is not mandatory.... nevertheless, it is being strongly apprehended (as on Apr 17, 2012 Minister Jesson Kenny has said) that on Jul 01 (when CAP would get re-open) CIC would impose credential assessment for all regulated professions at the time of application.

Answering to your second question, transcripts are necessary to be shown...........
