Applications after 26/6 in any NOC CONNECT HERE TO GET THE STATUS

[queencougar]

The reason why many people are not eligible with the new tool is the IELTS.

If you apply in a profession that requires a university degree, you are expected to have a high proficiency in all categories of the IELTS while crane operators etc do not.

This is part of the review done earlier in the year to judge different professions by different standards in order to attract more people from the lower/ non academic categories.

That might be true for a small minority of people,not "many" ( if you look at the relative numbers of applications on the Cat 1 list that require high level of education, they far outnumber those from the 'trades')
Even if this is true, it still does not explain why applicants who are currently eligible and are being processed as such come up on the new tool as ineligible.

It is an error.

Were we to apply for Cat 2 again right now, according to the points calculator and the FSW application advice, we would still be eligible, but the tool says we would not. I entered all our data, including High proficiency in all First Official language categorie(as scored by my husband in the actual test) and obviously entered all the other data as requested which we used to apply initially for our FSW Cat2 and yet we came out as being ineligible.
There has been no change in allocation of points which would have changed our points score from the time we originally applied to present day, the required score hasn't changed and our job offer situation as Cat 2 is still a viable route now.

There is a whole list of applicants on the British Expats Immigration forum; some Cat 1 and some Cat 2, all native English speakers and whose proficiency in the Official language of English is high who have all been accepted as eligible recently for FSW have tried the new tool and come out as ineligible. IELTS score has no part these people's situation at all.

The new tool is not working in that it is not correctly advising potential applicants on their eligibility for immigration as FSW and so, until it is fixed, I would advise people to use the points calculator and the FSW information pages to assess their eligibility instead.
It would be very sad if someone who was eligible was told otherwise by this tool and was put off from making an application.
I am sure that they will iron out these problems in a little while and then it will be fine. I noticed that there were problems with some of the PNP links and also the page to post comments on the tool were not accessible when I tried (repeatedly ) to use it. Maybe once thy sort that out, the feedback will alert them to the issues.

seems true.

My total points are 87.....which includes AEO, Relative in Canada......still it shows i am not eligible.

In my opinion, it's better to let VO's do their work and do not send queries at all. They process applications at their own pace and already have loads of work. On top of that, if they have to respond to queries, it'll further delay the processing. I am as restless and impatient as any of us but am restraining myself from sending the case specific queires. I know sending a query will not solve the purpose and I'll simply receive a standard email from the VO that your file is under process and you'll be contacted as and when required.

Wishing everybody good luck

I would agree in almost all cases,
In only quite rare cases do some people have issues regarding change of circumstances or problems which do need to be dealt with via CSE-mail and if the majority of applicants refrained from queries which are purely prompted by impatience, then Immigration Officers would be able to get on with processing and also would be able to look into the legitimate queries and everything would proceed much faster.

Things I started doing from the day I received AOR:

1. Check Ecas as soon as i log on to the Computer.

2. Check my mobile AND home tel. to be sure that i havent missed any call from NDVO

3. Check with my office regarding call from NDVO

4. Check My email AND SPAM Folder for mail from NDVO

5. Check with my Post Office for mail from NDVO

6. Check with my Employer in Canada for any verification call from NDVO

My days look like your.

Cheers

Viktoria

Dear fellow forum members,

Just a quick update

Received an email from London Visa Office, they have given me 60 days to submit updated forms

1. New Application for Permanent Residence IMM0008 form for the principal applicant
2. New Schedule A/Background Declaration form for yourself and each family member over the age of 18

and updated police certificates (although I had already submitted with the original application).

My guess is that since I told them about my change of employer and new residency in another country in April 2011, they want to have the most updated information.

Your thoughts please ?

I reckon that your guessing is true. I also have observed that with other applicants who have updated the VO with new information during processing.

Are you in Canada?
If not, then you cannot telephone CIC.
What is it that you need to enquire about? Someone might be able to enlighten you from their experience.
