Hi mmiq

There are three categories under the Federal Skilled Worker Class:

Category 1 (FSW 1): For persons in an occupation which corresponds to the list of occupations identified in the Ministerial Instructions and have evidence of one year of continuous full-time (or full-time equivalent) experience in that occupation;

Category 2 (FSW 2): For persons who have arranged employment offer with a Canadian employer; or

Category 3 (FSW 3): For students or workers who are legally residing in Canada, and have done so for at least 12 months immediately before submitting their application.

I got this from another thread and felt it will be useful to us

Hey folks, I've read posts on this forum for the past year -- I landed in Canada two months ago, and moved here permanently last week (Victoria). I'm just writing to say that though there are many small irritations with things like opening a bank account, getting a driving license, getting a SIN number, waiting for the Permanent Resident card, and especially finding a place to live (I've chosen Victoria to try and set up my new life), none of them are really that bad, and having Permanent Resident status really does make things pretty simple. I've found everyone here to be polite and helpful, and when it comes to opening up a bank account or getting a library card before you have a fixed address, people are quite accommodating (just keep your passport and your confirmation of permanent residence receipt) -- for me the most useful thing has been a vest that has zipped pockets on it, that is absolutely essential for stumping around town with documents that Must Not Be Lost.

The other thing is that you have to remember the difference between the immediate term, the short term, and the long term. Things that are important in the long term -- like finding a good job -- will depress you if you let yourself worry about them in the short term. For myself, I divided them up like this:

Immediate term (first week): find a decent place to live for two weeks or a month, where I can relax, keep myself clean, and feel secure. Youth hostels are NOT good for more than a night or two. Also, find and apply for short-term survival jobs -- these are important to keep busy, and to limit how much one spends one's savings.

Short term (one week to three months): have interviews at short-term survival jobs, and eventually begin one. These aren't fun -- but their point is to let you keep the main part of your money in the bank. Also, three months might be a little arbitrary, I guess that's the point where I will start to worry if I'm not having any luck at all finding something better.

Long term: place to live that you want to stay in permanently, decent job.

Listen, it's easy to get very stressed, right away, if you think too much about the long term goals. Tell yourself, over and over -- "I've been in Canada for three days. I've been in Canada for three days. Just get a bank account opened, that's enough right now. Just find a place to live for the next three weeks. Just send in the application."

And it's funny, how once you land here, all the worry and stress of applying vanishes from your mind, and is replaced by the worry and stress of fitting in to a new, foreign home. Remind yourself once in a while how happy you are that you're not sitting around waiting for your visa -- it really is better, wearing out your shoes looking for work, and it's important to remember that.

So good luck, folks -- it's worth the wait.

My supervisor is reluctant to write the reference letter on company's letterhead, however he is saying he will write it on blank paper and mention all the details asked in reference letter, in addition to that he will write

"I am writing this reference letter on blank pages, because only HR Dept is authorised to give it on letterhead. however I can confirm that the contents I mentioned above are true and I have personally seen and experienced"

Or Alternatively seniors can suggest some wording. First of all my HR will not issue a detailed JD letter, 2ndly I dont want to infmr HR about any of my plans, since the lady is quite egoistic and it will certainly effect my increment (which is already over due for more than 1 year) and bonuses next year.

Hi Humsafar,

U r right, many companies here in Dubai dont issue a reference letter.

Do attach the business card of your supervisor along with the reference letter. As if required , the VO can directly give him a call for verification.

hi Humsafar

its always safe to have employment certi from Hr and on comp. letterhead. if u think its a great probs. u can keep the supervisor letter plus his visiting cards ur manager's visiting cards(do inform him) ur pay slips, ur appointment letter copy (the job title should be same as NOC). plus if u are gievn any job profile whn u join or in between u can include tht too. plus u need to write a covering letter in which u need to mention why u did all this and write it will affect ur incre etc etc.

is ur claim of points (4 yrs ) NOC is from the current job???

Good luck always buddy :D
