Dear forum members,
Throughout the last week, I've been researching the eligibility criteria for Australian and NewZeland FSW immigration. The reason is very obvious, JK has said in recent speech that CIC would like to adopt Australian or NZ immigration system. Here I just bring forward those facts which are the salient features of Australian / NZ FSW immigration program:
1- on-line Expression Of Interest (called EOI) with some basic sort of information and fee (for NZ it is 440 NZ $).
2-for Australia, minimum English threshold is 7 bands (at 6 bands, Australia gives 0 points, thus application gets dis-qualified automatically). Although for NZ, it is 6.5 for PA. But both Australia & NZ require the spouse to meet with minimum proficiency (for spouse in NZ it is 5 bands - for Australia it is 6).
3- Credentials assessment is must for both, Australia and NZ. For assessment of regulated professions, they require the assessment be made by the professional regulatory body.
4- Age: for Australia, maximum age points are granted till age of 35, while for NZ maximum age points are granted till 30. Till age of 39 (for both Australia & NZ), they grant 15 points. So we can expect the same scenario for Canada as well.

In the light of above research, I suggest that we should ask and prepare the spouses to write IELTS with 6.5 band score or higher. You cannot do with your age now, what you can do, simply try to get as much maximum points as possible in your language proficiency by targeting 8 band score in IELTS (we all have got a lot of time, prepare and re-write IELTS for at least 7.5 or 8 bands).

Last but not the least, do not get disappointed now - use the best use of time and make your way.

Hi Farhan,

Good point.

I think one of the things that we should definitely do is get our spouses to take IELTS exam.
and have a score of 7+

Regards,
Arjun

For all those who are waiting for document evaluation,

It is just a matter of time, Indian B.Pharm is valid here and you will get approval letter within 4-6 weeks.

My personal advice, (if someone do not like it, please ignore)

If your final dream is to work as community/hospital pharmacist, Please prepare for PEBC from now, they are making it harder and harder.
If it is also possible to get visitor visa for this exam, the letter of evaluation will mention it.
Also if you want to work as a pharmacy technician after coming here until you pass all PEBC exam, you can give qualifying exam for technician based on this result. (Technician exam will be very easy and registered technician earn between $20-$30/hour).

This is little bit confusing.

This all profile information is about my fiance.
She is a Pharmacist from India, and she did a PG diploma in Pharmacy technician in Canada.

She is working as a Pharmacy Technician and now and she got a Permanent job offer from her employer. Pharmacy Technician is NOC level B job, so we are applying for PR on that basis.

I am also a Pharmacist from India, but right now I am doing PhD in Canada and we both just wrote PEBC EE in July 2012.
