FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[Maverick.Canajun]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question. Hope you guys could help. If I have 4 years experience in 2172 and 2 years experience in 2171. Do I still get a total of 15points for Work Experience? Or do I only get the points for the NOC which I will apply for? Please let me know. Thanks.

Points are for total work experience claimed, for ALL NOC 2011 occupations, regardless of which skill you are applying under for FSWP.

Regards,
Rick

Is it possible that they sent the app to the LVO even without sending the PER yet? I wonder what happened to PER on May 7 and some for May 6...

I think majority of May 7 and 6 applicants in this forum got rejected in some level of the first assessment.

I wanted to post my conversation with Thomas Cook representative for the sake of those applicants who needs a confirmation on the validity of Demand Drafts from Thomas Cook:

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

I am aware that the validity of Demand Draft used inside India is 3 months as per RBI rule but I also have come to know from others
that the international demand draft holds a validity of 6 months. I have come across many forums where it is mentioned that the validity
for international demand drafts(Banks, Thomas Cook etc) is 6 months unless the validity is mentioned on the draft.

I would appreciate if you could reconfirm as this is of high importance. I have forwarded my application for Canadian Immigration and would
not want it to be rejected due to validity reason. There are also many other applicants who have taken DD in CAD from Thomas Cook for
the same purpose.

Thanks,
Nagini

Hello,
I have made a demand draft (In Canadian Dollars) from Thomas Cook for the purpose of applying for Canadian Immigration ( FSW-2014 ).
The validity is not mentioned on the DD. I have been hearing mixed opinions on the validity of international instruments as being
3 months / 6 months.
Could you please confirm the actual validity of foreign currency demand draft?
Thanks,
Nagini

You should get credit for 6 years. You only need 1 year in your primary NOC and you will get credit for any other experience in skill type 0 or skill level A or B. Just be sure on your economic classes form to enter the NOC for that 4-year employer that you think most closely matches your duties.

@Future_Canadian +1 bro, Cheers,

HI Ashif,

How are you doing?

I wanted to know - how much time does VO provide for submitting PCCs and Bank statements? I am asking this because it might so happen that during that time I am flying out of country and hence it would take me long to arrange both of these two documents.

Monu

 

[gimmenergy]

The VO can ask about any account they wish to know about and can make any inquiries they wish.

If it is clear from your account statements that you have a liability such as a home loan that you didn't list on your application form, the VO may ask you for further details. It is a misrepresentation, but unless someone with this specific experience comes to the forum to answer your question, I don't think anybody knows whether they will consider it a serious misrepresentation. My own reasoning, but it is just a guess, is that it will not be considered a serious misrepresentation unless there is evidence that you were trying to deliberately hide your true financial situation, or the liability significantly changes the VO's opinion of whether you can economically establish yourself in Canada.

Good luck.

Thanks future_canadian for your reply.

Hi to all NOC 1111 applicants!

I would like to seek your opinion on the Internal Auditor work experience (2 years & 2 months) of my cousin (portion of total work experience), if it at least matches or qualifies for the NOC 1111.

This can be a bit tricky depending on which country you are based in and who the test conducting agency was. I am based in the UK and had submitted my application last year. As soon as I realized that my application will be returned owing to CAP I was thinking of applying for Australian Immigration so I contacted my testing agency EUROCENTER English Language Centre and provided this explaination via email. They have a standard process for it and charged me £5 to issue a duplicate the following day.

You need to check with your local IELTS contact on how they process it.

Hi Cardsman,

How to send original IELTS certs if re sending before arrival of rejection letter, original package?

Regards,
Rick

Hi Rick
I doubt that points are allocated for total work experience claimed and not specifically for the work experience relevant to the NOC applying for. Have you seen this mentioned somewhere? I have'nt and am just guessing based on what makes sense to me.

Points are for total work experience claimed, for ALL NOC 2011 occupations, regardless of which skill you are applying under for FSWP.

Rick

We can only process your application if you:

have one year of continuous full-time (or an equal amount of continuous part-time) paid work experience
in one of the eligible occupations within the last ten years

Source : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp


(Maximum 15 points)

You can get points for the number of years you have spent in full-time paid work (at least 30 hours per week, or an equal amount of part-time).

Friends...Urgent Help required....I completed my Bachelors and Masters from India..I completed my Bachelors from JNTU but I did my Masters from XIMB (PGDM).

Unfortunately, XIMB was not listed in the universities mentioned by WES. It is a private college not affiliated to any particular university. However, the course PGDM is recognised by AICTE.

In this context, I am planning to submit to WES the following documents:
1. Consolidated Marks list of PGDM
2. My original certificate of PGDM
3. A letter as a proof that my course is recognised by AICTE and
4.Finally, a notary saying that all the info mentioned is true.

There is no Registrar for our college but we have a department of Examinations.

Friends ...pls let me know whether these documents will be enough or do I need to submit any more?

My doubt is even those who completed Masters from IIMs will also face the same problem as they are not universities.

Also, what is the difference in number of points for a Bachelors degree and Masters Degree? (My Bachelor Degree: B.Tech (4 Years,Regular Study)

You need to submit Bank Statement with initial application. For PCC it may vary from VO to VO. Most probably 3-6 months but senior can confirm.
