FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[I]

PERs usually state not to send any further documentation at this stage.

PER e-mail contains:
"Please inform the visa office of any changes in your application (e.g. birth or adoption of a child, marriage or common-law relationship, new occupation or employer, submission of an Arranged Employment Opinion approved by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, change of address, change of e-mail address, change of immigration representative, etc). Please include a letter identifying what the changes are and any relevant supporting documents."

But it is debatable whether change of passport can be termed as changes in application.

[size=9pt] Sorry about that dear! In such a case do they provide a UCI # in that e-mail?

but uci no i already hav as i applied last year also but cap has reached so cic returned my app..

The degree requirements of the NOC are irrelevant. I'm not sure but I think unrecognized institutions do not qualify. Better double-check.

Hard luck buddy don't apply last year people with such status were rejected

Hello all,

I am submitting my docs by Tuesday. Do I need to write a cover letter or a table showing how I gain 67 points? If there is any format please share the same.

Thanks

Total received toward the overall cap: 887 of 25,000 are PER received for applications reached CIO till 7th May 2014.

That means below numbers are for applications counted in 1 week around the world, or can assume application/ seats filled in 1 week.
So on that basis, below hot NOCs' will be filled in following weeks.


1112 Financial and investment analysts -- 198 seats filled in 1 week.
So, 1000 seats will be filled in 1000/198 - 5 weeks. - in 38 days - till 8th June 2014.


2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers -- 197 seats filled in 1 week.
So, 1000 seats will be filled in 1000/197 - 5 weeks. - in 39 days - till 10th June 2014.

2173 Software engineers and designers -- 99 seats filled in 1 week.
So, 1000 seats will be filled in 1000/99 - 10 weeks. - in 70 days - till 10th July 2014.

2171 Information systems analysts and consultants -- 64 seats filled in 1 week.
So, 1000 seats will be filled in 1000/64 - 15 weeks. - in 105 days - till 15th August 2014.

2132 Mechanical engineers -- 58 seats filled in 1 week.
So, 1000 seats will be filled in 1000/58 - 17 weeks. - in 119 days - till 30th August 2014.

2281 Computer network technicians -- 44 seats filled in 1 week.
So, 1000 seats will be filled in 1000/44 - 22 weeks. - in 154 days - till 24th Sep 2014.

2133Electrical and electronics engineers -- 33 seats filled in 1 week.
So, 1000 seats will be filled in 1000/ 33 - 30 weeks. - in 210 days - till 30 th Nov 2014.

2131Civil engineers -- 32 seats filled in 1 week.
So, 1000 seats will be filled in 1000/32 - 31 weeks. - in 217 days - till 7th Dec 2014.


And rest all NOC will be filled after 7th December 2014, it is just an assumption .

It's an irresponsible assumption because it fails to take into account that the rate of receipt of applications is not constant. There was a huge rush in the first 2-3weeks and then it dropped off significantly. Last year the 1112 cap was hit on May 27. With over 3x as many spaces there's no way this year's cap will only be open until June 8.

Hi guys, i am currently finishing my docs. Just a little thought:

Do I have to mention in the application forms all my previous jobs, including those that are not related to my NOC?

I will be applying for 2171 (info sys analyst)
do i need to include my previous positions related to 2174 (programmer) ?

Thanks.

Yes. Not only will you get points for them, you are required to list all employment and all activities for the past 10 years.

@dhiraj,

Is it true regarding the license for it professionals?

 

[future_canadian]

Do I need reference letters from jobs that do not fall under skill level 0 A or B?

You won't get points for them so don't bother.

Guys, I just came across a video on YouTube

Not allowed to paste any link on this forum so just giving video number. Search '8xpI_bbEmnk' on YouTube.

This says, along with FSW, IT professionals need a license to work in Canada and it might be equally tedious process. Shocked
Is this true? If yes, any info as what is the procedure and how much time it takes?

Most IT Professions are non-regulated. Its a different debate altogether that just like any other job market there are certain attributes that are preferred; eg: relevant university qualifications.

There are however IT Professions such as "Computer Design Engineers" etc (as described in NOC 2147) that require licensing from an approved Canadian body in order to practice the same as a profession.

Look at question no 2 and 3 here: http://www.engineerscanada.ca/frequently-asked-questions

Look at the 3rd bullet point in the employment requirements here: http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/ProfileQuickSearch.aspx?val1=2173

Dear Seniors

My ecas is showing in process , i have last year UCI Number .

Please guide further ,

congrats, you're likely to get PER.

 

[future_canadian]

PER e-mail contains:
"Please inform the visa office of any changes in your application (e.g. birth or adoption of a child, marriage or common-law relationship, new occupation or employer, submission of an Arranged Employment Opinion approved by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, change of address, change of e-mail address, change of immigration representative, etc). Please include a letter identifying what the changes are and any relevant supporting documents."

But it is debatable whether change of passport can be termed as changes in application.

Key word there is visa office. Inform them when they contact you. Not CIC.

@ dhiraj,

LOL no

 

[zstream]

Daniel,

12a ) will be the NOC code and designation.

Eg. Computer network technicians 2281

It should be Systems engineer 2281. I think.

12b )
Your recent job designation

2012 - 2014 Systems engineer. ( noc code which this profile belongs to
Better to have 12a and 12b noc as same.

Correct me if am not wrong



Thanks
