[eagle2maple]

No try to add more points by including a new page....

Thanks again ashif_eee. I understand it shouldn't be as elaborate as the reference letter but it to be an excerpt from it

 

[jianada55]

IELTS valid-2yrs
PCC :

ur PCC submission validity is Three months. So when u want to submit ur PCC u should consider the date is not over three month from the issuing day.

Though PCC validity is One year but submission validity is Three months

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp#eg73

What if someone has never visited the country again? For example, one was lived in country X for 1 year and then never visited that country again but obtained PCC before leaving the country.
Now do we need to obtain PCC again? Isnt it ridiculous?

Hi,

I have 2 queries relating to Adaptability points & Work experience:

1) My wife's grandmother's real brother is a Canadian citizen for over 30 years. Is this relationship come under as "Uncle" to claim 5 points for Adaptability.

Also, my father's first cousin (sister) is a Canadian citizen for over 30 years. Can i claim 5 Adaptability points for this if relationship come under as "Aunt".

2) I am 70 points but afraid to get some point deduction on Work Experience side as I am unable to get reference letter from my employers , still trying. However, I have all other job related documents in place. Getting IELTS done by spouse could be very late as NOC 1112 is HOT i guess. So please review my eligibility and advise if its ok to apply:

A) Age: 31+ = 12 points
B) Qualification : 23 ( Awaiting WES report for MBA)
C) My IELTS : L 7.5, S 7, R 6.5, W 6, Overall 7: Points 20
D) Work Experience: 8.5 years - 15 points (if reference letters does't create an issue)
Job 1- 1 yr 6 M; Job 2 - 3 Y 4 M; Job 3: 1 Yr 5 M ; Job 4 ( Current)- 1 yr 10 M till now

Apologies for a long query, but i hope u can understand my situation :-\. Thanks for help

CIC tells:

"G. Relatives in Canada

You or, if applicable, your accompanying spouse or common-law partner has a relative, i.e. parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother/sister, aunt/uncle or niece/nephew, who is 18 years of age or older as of the date we receive your application, and who is a Canadian citizen of permanent resident residing in Canada."

So for :

1. U should not eligible for adaptability...I cant see u r having that relation.
2. Yes menioned points seems to be ok...

Good luck...

I want to apply under the federal skilled worker program but I haven't done the CELPIP or IELTS and I can't do it in the country I currently live in so i would have to buy a plane ticket to fly somewhere else to do the test. I'm scared that by the time I get the results that the cap will be filled for my NOC and I would have wasted tons of money. Does it even make sense to try since 1000's of people probably have all their documents ready to submit already? I probably won't be able to submit my application until May 30th

Where are you from?

I have a similar issue. I stayed in a country for 3 years. Now I am back to my home country.

Somebody pls clarify!

Age, IELTS is ok, But WES result defines your qual. points and all your Job letter should have the job responsibilities related to NOC with full time, salary confirmation. Otherwise those period will not be considered.

thanks Goalcanada. Appreciate if u can share your thoughts on point 1 as well.

Asheef...pls share your thoughts as well on my query

 

[ashif_eee]

I have a couple of questions regarding filling of forms.

1) Are we allowed to fill in the forms by hand ? I am talking about the Background Declaration and Economic Class (IMM0008_3e) and Background Declaration (IMM5669E). Some of the text cannot be filled by typing as it is too long for example my job title.

2) What do you do when you have extra information. For example in personal history I need one more row. Guide says print same page again and fill it but Background Declaration (IMM5669E) says add an additional page in the end, with your name and form number and question number. Little confusing.


Thanks guys for all your help here in the forum !!!

1. Yes u can write on ur pen for the form u mentioned.
2 In my case, I printed a newer blank page with the details....

 

[Goku]

No brother Goku u need not include ECA at all...Just submit ur post secondary course cert+trnscrpt/marksheet...

Please check Doc checklist @ point 13....U will get the same ans...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5612E.pdf

Yes I went through it but was little confused, and didn't wanted to take risk because without ECA report they will return application back. Thanks though.

Sorry I should have posted these details on my Canadian work experience earlier.

NOC 1112 - May 01/13 - May 31/13 (working as an intern and I was a full time student)
NOC B - June 06/13 - Present (post graduation).

I worked as an intern in May 2013 and I want to know if I can include that Canadian work experience. I worked on an authorized work permit so technically speaking I will have one year of full time work experience in May 06/14. With my Canadian education and work experience I'm currently scoring 72 points. Without the work experience I score 62 points, in which case I will have to submit an ECA report on my international education.

Any thoughts? Advise? Thanks!

No, it will not be considered. Min. 1 year exp is required under full time paid worker.

There is a lot of confusion on schedule 3 form. 12a asks for one of your occupations that you intend to apply for ( this must be one from list of 50) and expeirence under this occupation will be used to assign points.

12b asks for list of occupations that you have worked so far ( one of occupation in this list must be 12a).It is not mabdatory that all occupations in the list must be from 50 NOC list.


Please correct me if iam wrong.

Also in generic form there is question for current occupation and intended occupation. Current is the NOC u r working currently and inrended is the one for which you wish to apply.

No can2174 brother,....It need to have on the declared NOC...

And for the 2nd query: Yes...

Here is a post i submitted earlier:

[size=10pt]Schedule-3 Form Confusion Clarence[/size]

Say some one is holding the position as Service Engineer under NOC 2132 (Mech engineer).


He did another Job five years back with another NOC 2133 (Electrical Engg). He worked as Production Engineer. By this NOC experience he want to apply.

So for

12 -a: "Identify the primary occupation and corresponding four-digit NOC 2011 code that will be used to assess whether your application meets the minimum program requirements:

Occupation : Production Engineer NOC : 2133

12 -b: Starting with your current occupation, list all of the occupations that you have had in the 10 years preceding the date of your application.

First occupation : Service Engineer NOC : 2132

Second Occupation : Production Engineer NOC : 2133


Here is the CIC guidelines for Schedule-3:

Question 12
Your work experience

a) Identify the primary occupation and corresponding four-digit NOC 2011 code that will be used to assess whether your application meets the minimum program requirements. Choose one occupation from the list you provide in your answer to 12b).

b) Starting with your current occupation, list all of the occupations that you have had in the 10 years preceding the date of your application. For each occupation:



I hope u can now clear by reading this post.

I would like to know more about "Reference letters". I have only the offer letters and relieving letters from my previous employers. Other than that two of the companies I've worked for had given me service certificates indicating the role and the duration I worked there. Can you guys explain me whether this will do for the FSW application ? I'm bit worried that didn't have any reference letter sort of things...

 

[sanyasi]

Thank you very much.. I was counting only 16 points

YOu are really doing a nice job brother!

 

[ashif_eee]
