There is some confusion regarding spouse's English language ability. The instruction says "Your accompanying spouse or common-law partner’s level of language proficiency in either English or French is at the CLB 4 level or higher in all four language abilities (speaking, listening, reading and writing).
Now CLB 4 level indicates an IELTS score of 4.5, 3.5, 4.0, 4.0 in L,R,W,S. Refer http://www.ieltsessentials.com/clb/index.html#

Most have been advising CLB level 7 which is actually the requirement for the principal applicant and not for the accompanying spouse or common-law partner’s level of language proficiency

Thats right Aks.
The requirement for PA and dependent is different for English language ability.

1. u have to provide all your experience with valide reference letter, company appointment letter, salary certificate and paystub. But make sure atleast you should show ur work experience accordingly u will get good points (1 year exp -9pt, 2-3 yr -11pt, 4-5 yr - 13 pt, 6+ yr - 15pt
2. There is a declaration form for your work experience and all. so you have to provide in last 10years work exp.
3. It is not mandatory all documents should be notarized in the same date.
4. It is not like that you have to submit your application immediately bar code generated. Atleast you can take 2 or 3 days then u can send the application. because every month, few applications are getting changed.
5. No you cannot make any change after barcode generated. Suppose if you did any mistake, again u have to take a new form and update it and generate barcode.
6. I think there is a possibility after getting your visa you can make your husband as dependent in later stage.

BARCODE info is wrong. You can make changes to the generic form as many times as you wish even after initial validation. You may need to re-validate again after the last change has been done.

Hello,
I am applying under 2281 (computer network technician). I am a network engineer, designation held by me in all the companies I worked for is "Network Engineer". I do not see "Engineer" in CIC website for this NOC. Will it be ok, if I highlight the roles and responsibilities (as listed on CIC) and make sure the content matches with requirement of CIC.
OR...
Do I have to request all the ex employers to provide reference letter stating designation as "Network Administrator" (Listed in CIC). I worked for 3 companies till now, will it be ok if I take reference letter from one company(which has expreience more than 1yr) by tweaking the designation or do I need to take it from all the employers with designation as "Network Administrator" I am not sure, if companies will be ok for giving letter with slightly different designation(interms of terminology)
Note: I am claiming points for whole work experience (3yrs)
Please advise.

1114 is ice cold, it won't fill up for the whole year. But you'll be waiting a few months to hear anything.

Hi, CIO is still processing applications received in mid May, that's after 3 months so you can expect PER if you are successful around late October, early November. Cheers.

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 .

I think its a gud topic u hav highlighted but it is way too difficult to predict by when cap may b filled for hot categories like 1112...and above mentioned calculation would b too simplistic, as pointed out by sum1 that 300 cap for NOC 1112 fr 2013 was filled by 27th may so to assume 8th june for 1000 applications would b vry aggressive..nobody can say that it cannot happen but doesn't look probable...

I think # of applications in the SS visa-vi the # PERs issued till date for a NOC might give a better view. So this is my try at giving out tentative PERs filled for NOC 1112 by 15 Aug 2014...Plz this is just an assumption guess work so do not hold me to it if the cap is filled much sooner or much later.

This is only for NOC 1112. I base my calculation on the # of applications in the SS and # of PER issued till date along with some historical and current trends.

Total # of PER issued as per CIC are 198 till 7th May (assumption no 8th may PERs as per forum data) and SS indicates 42 PERs issued, so this makes about 21.2% ratio (SS PERs / CIC PERs)...now assuming this trend and # of 1112 applications in the SS this would mean that only 651 PERs will be issued till 15/8/14. This is based on total 148 applications for 1112 in the SS (few have been excluded as no receive dates were mentioned), current acceptance rate of 93% for this category as per SS data, and finally applying 21.2% rate. This gives out 651 PERs to b issued by 15/8/14..would this mean every1 who has applied till now in such a HOT category will be safe... ...

may b and may b not. Bcoz I think that 21.2% might not be a true representation and this should b lower as lot of 2013 applicants were there till 7th may and they were much more active on the forums, and updated the SS, and this might not b true fr lot of recent applicants. I also think that 1112 candidate usually belong to KPOs which r much more demanding (plz no offense to other professions) and may not b vry active on forums. Just my assumption.I for sure do not belong to this category.

So below is the table indicating the PERs issued based on varying rate (SS PERs / CIC PERs) from the current 21.2% to 2013 rate of 19.7% to some much more lower assumed rates.

21% 20%18% 16% 14% 13% 1112 apps in SS

6/25/2014 603 650 710 799 913 984 137
7/04/2014 616 664 726 817 933 1000 140
7/07/2014 616 664 726 817 933 140
7/08/2014 616 664 726 817 933 140
7/17/2014 634 683 747 840 960 144
7/18/2014 634 683 747 840 960 144
7/21/2014 634 683 747 840 960 144
7/22/2014 634 683 747 840 960 144
8/15/2014 651 702 767 863 987 148


The above table was based on what is the universe represented by total # of 11112 category applications in the SS compared to total actual applications for 1112. This clearly shows that based on historical and recent trends the 1112 applicants who hav applied till 15th aug would b safe but then if the SS (the forum members) for ths category are under represented than assumed based on historical trends, lets say smthing like just 13% of total applications, then this category may be filled up by early july. What wuld b interesting is if the rate of CIC PERs issued for this category sharply decline, as SS applications for 1112 indicate, then every1 who has applied til now wuld b safe.


I knw all this is just fudging wid assumptions. i have been just working arnd on the SS for calculating tentative cap fill date for categories of my interest and even I am still not sure that this is correct but I can atleast see some range here based on + or - few variations.

Will try not to bore all of u wid these calculations further but had to put this in open after manish's post. 8)
