Hello guys,

I am temporary foreign worker in high skilled category here in Canada. I landed here with positive LMIA and then work permit sponsorship and a permanent job offer from employer.

My question is Should I file my application thru FSW(right away) program or CEC(wait and apply). I would be 1 yr experienced in Nov 2015 to apply thru CEC?

Please recommend.

With a LMIA approved permanent job offer, I don't see the point in waiting to qualify for CEC. As long as you have a minimum of 1 year continuous work experience in a skilled category (non canadian is fine), have taken and fulfilled minimum points in IELTS, and have assessed your foreign education, you will qualify and get an invitation immediately under FSW.
