- Thread starter rajkamalmohanram
- Start date
To apply under CEC, you need at least 1 year full time(at least 30 hours/week) or equivalent amount of part time experience in the past 3 years from the date of your application.bunty5 said:
To apply under FSW, you need at least 1 year of continuous, full-time work experience (at least 30 hours/week) or equivalent amount of part time experience in the past 10 years from the date of your application.
If you don't have either, then you cannot apply under these classes.
There is an option of extending the work permit using BOWP (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/prov/bridging.asp) but then, for this, you will have to have submitted a complete application to CIC.

Now, your best option is to ask your employer to apply for a LMIA or try to find an employer who is willing to apply for an LMIA.

Please advise.
1. Present CRS 412
NOC 2173 Software Engineer, Masters, Over 5 years experience, IELTS L 8.5 S 7.5 R 8 W 6.5
Spouse:
IELTS 14 points
Education 10 points for Masters
2. Today I got my fourth IELTS results
I have been repeating IELTS for four times to overcome 6.5 in writing, and improve my CRS.
If I am not good at writing, I will accept it with humility
BUT
The unethical practices of IELTS to generate revenue by assigning .5 less in writing is apparent.
I am confident of my writing abilities and can't imagine failing four times to get 7 in writing and getting 6.5.
Well, we cant go for remarking as IELTS will never accept their mistake. It's a prestige for them; Nobody can challenge their marking.
Don' t have the patience and trust in IELTS to appear for 5th time.
3. Got OPNP/PT
Preparing to send my application. Was holding on to get CLB 9 as my score would have jumped to 469 resulting in ITA.
Please advise:
1. Will it be a good decision to apply for OPNP and try IELTS once more
2. What are the rejection percent of OPNP. My application is pretty straight forward and documents are perfect according to the requirements.
3. Average time for OPNP from application receipt, AOR, Nomination, ITA ...Is it more than a year.
Reason for asking timeframe: I have to plan certain events for the next couple of years.
Always appreciate your quick advise.

I am sorry about what has happened to you!

Yes. Lodge your application and give IELTS a try one more time.
2. What are the rejection percent of OPNP. My application is pretty straight forward and documents are perfect according to the requirements.
Relatively less. Unless your NOC does not match roles or you don't have experience in the past 10 years (or you have any mistakes from your end), you are good to go!
3. Average time for OPNP from application receipt, AOR, Nomination, ITA ...Is it more than a year.
AOR times have increased recently. FSW applicants used to get AOR from OINP in about 6 - 8 weeks (now, look at my timeline and you will know that I have been waiting for over 3 months; still no AOR).
Reason for asking timeframe: I have to plan certain events for the next couple of years.
I'm using upper estimate values -
AOR - 12 weeks from the date of submission of application
Nomination - 7 weeks after AOR
ITA - 1 week
Submission - 2 weeks
Its 22 weeks till now. Almost 6 months.
Now 6 months from here till PPR, so yea, the estimate comes to 1 year - roughly!
Always appreciate your quick advise.
Thanks indeed Raj for interlacing your advise, comments.

I want to know when do they perform the job verification. There is a small change in my job description. Earlier I was a science teacher, now I have got an additional role of computer. I have already applied for OINP and waiting for AOR. My question does ontario province do the verfication and do I have to update my status with them and if yes how to update?
