CEC or FSW if you qualify for both...Please advice !!

[rg74]

Hi, In my Express Entry profile I qualify for both CEC and FSW category. I am working in Canada since Jan 2014 on an LMIA exempt Closed Work permit (ICT). So I have Canada experience for almost 3 years. I want to be invited as a CEC candidate.

I have read many post regarding CEC applicants are processed faster than FSW. Is there any way to get invited for only CEC and not FSW.

Would appreciate any input on it!! Thanks in advance.

If you have your funds less than 12,000 then you will be under CEC, usually you put something around 5000, else you will be eligible for both FSW and CEC and it will depend at the time of draw which one you would be selected under.

Thanks for the Info. Is there any drawback if I meet conditions for only CEC and not FSW if i reduce my funds.

i am still under the process of uploading document, i dont see any drawbacks, but advantage would be that you still need not have the show funds, but can show paystub and current bank statements.

You can put 0 as funds and you will get the invite under CEC assuming you qualify for CEC cutoff. I did it like that.

Don't have to change anything - CEC is now the default if you qualify for both.
