FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[who1074]

dear i have degrees in Human resources and further MBA and only 1.3 years experience in occupational health and safety and remaining in Human resource management though my HR experience also include some duties of health and safety,I am bit worried as do they consider education should be relevant to experience as in my country HR people do the job of occupational health and safety plz give ur comments

In printable version of NOC 2011 you will see a heading of "Employment Requirements". In this head educational requirements for a given occupation are detailed together with other things. Many think that it is mandatory to meet those requirements in order to qualify which in my opinion is not the complete story.

My opinion is based on the statement mentioned in the below manual which goes like this, on page 12

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op06c-eng.pdf

In addition, during that period of employment, the applicant must have:
 performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC [R75(2)(b)]; and
 performed a substantial number of the main duties, including all of the essential duties, of the occupation as set out in the occupational description of the NOC [R75(2)(c)].
Note: The “Employment Requirements” listed in the NOC description for each occupation are not applicable.

Having said that, of course one cannot perform the duties of a Mechanical Engineer after obtaining a degree in Medicine.

Now, to me your case seems fine but at the end of the day its the case officer who is going to decide. There is no technical glitch stopping you from having a positive review.

Best of luck.

Pls, to which email address did you send the mail: CIO-Sydney-Search-Enquiry @ cic.gc.ca OR FSW-Sydney-Search-Enquiry @ cic.gc.ca? I want to know because I sent a mail to the former I think on the 28th Dec and again to the latter this morning just to enquire about the status of my application but no response yet?
I am Nov 1st applicant, NOC 2263

Fellow forum mates, please don't forget that CIC clearly states that you should send enquiry mail only 10 weeks after your application has been received. If you try to follow the trend on the spreadsheet (which is not necessarily totally representative but somewhat as it may represent only about 25% of total applications to CIC in FSW 2013 category), you can estimate somewhat when you will hear from CIC according to dates your application was received.

Our patience is being tried in the process.

I personally, have taken it as a learning process for me for I am indeed an impatient person but this process has humbled me as I can do absolutely nothing but wait


I wish you all the best in the application process.

Does any one know how long they may take after the cc charged for the application for FSW? I got mine charged on December-10/13 and haven't got PER yet. I am NOC 3211 applicant but not a member of the forum. Please do reply asap since I have been waiting for long time.

Well it can take a month or even more. The only cause of a negative review after CC charged is less than 67 points as calculated by CIO. In either case you should get a response any time soon based on the date you have mentioned for your CC charge.
You should inquire about the status of your application from CIO at following email.

Do mention complete details of your application like,
Full name
Date of birth
NOC
Passport no
Date on which credit card was charge

Any LVO news? Is anyone waiting for GCMS notes from LVO? I mean, anyone who was applied recently?

Hi. I applied for my GCMS note about 2 weeks ago. So, I am expecting response from them before the end of this month and will definitely keep forum members updated. Cheers.

"The only cause of a negative review after CC charged is less than 67 points as calculated by CIO". Your source of info. for the above line sir ?

"The only cause of a negative review after CC charged is less than 67 points as calculated by CIO". Your source of info. for the above line sir ?

Ageed. This is completely incorrect. There are many reasons why a person can be refused after the CC is charged (failed medical, failed background check, failed security check, forged documents, and on and on).

CIO will calculate your points after charging your CC. If they are greater than 67 you will get PER, Otherwise application will be rejected with out refund (NER).

For example I have 6 years of experience, but I only provided job duties/evidence for 3 of those 6, I may be awarded points only for 3 years. In such a case my points calculation differ from those of CIO and I may end up with less than 67.

Another fact is that points are awarded only for skill level 0, A, B. So if I have 6 years of experience 3 of which are not in skill level 0/A/B, I will only get points for 3 years. To understand this, one can use the matrix available on hrsdc webpage. To sum up in order to obtain points for work experience CIO should be satisfied that all those years were spent in skill level 0, A or B.

On most other selection factors like age, language, education points calculation is really straight. On adaptability, I may claim points for relative in canada but CIO may not award those as I did not provide the right or adequate evidence. Points calculation can some times get tricky but this is very rare.

After PER my application can be rejected for reasons mentioned by scylla.

Thanks for the explaination, btw have you ever encountered any case wherein an applicant received PER from CIO, but went on to get rejected at local Visa Office ?

You are most welcome. Yes this has happened but is not that common, rather for May 04 onwards it will be rare.
