Hi Seniors,
Thanks for giving all the information which has been so much helping.
I want to apply for the Canadian FSWC category : 2171 Information systems analysts and consultants ...I would actually be following one visa consultant and will pay a huge fees infact , nevertheless I think I am too late to fill anything now as it has already been 1 month since the caps had been opened .
Is it still safe to apply for one ? or is it a total waste of money , time and a lot more things ..
Please let me know till what date I have time to actually apply for it ..
Thanks for your patience..
Hi arijitwarm.
There is a lot of discussion about when CAP´s will be reached, but in fact only CIC can answer that.
I won´t give you any guess, but some facts.
Last year (FSW 2013):
IT NOCS: 2174
CAP: 300
CAP Reached: Around May30
This year (FSW 2014):
IT NOCS (2171, 2172, 2173, 2174)
CAP: 1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 1000 = 4000
Besides that you have to consider some other things:
Good ones:
1) CIC announced this huge cap just in last days of April, so I it was a big surprise to everyone.
2) Sure there are lot of people who sent there apps in the first days of May, but after that we may see these numbers lowering
Bad ones:
1) WES is taking around a month to complete the assessment (at least that is just happening to me right now)
2) You may won´t find IELTS tests before available August.
My opinion:
Don´t be afraid and hurry up. Schedule your IELTS and start preparing docs for WES as soon as possible! At least you may use those documents in the express entry next year! just don´t lose hope!
Obs: Check Toronto University for assessment. Maybe they are faster than WES
Good luck to us all!!!!!
