FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[rudbee]

What would be the "To Date" for my current occupation & present address? (In "Schedule A- Background/Declaration" question # 8 and 12).

Should I leave it blank or give the date of my signing the document?

please let me know.

Based on so many of the posts here, I believe the hot occupations again are going to be 1112 and 2174. It is hard to judge when the caps for these two occupations will fill up, but here are a few things to consider:

1) Last year,too, these two occupations had the highest number of applications and filled up the fastest. If I remember correctly, 1112 and 2174 filled up within a space of three and four weeks, respectively. The bottleneck for many applicants last year was getting their credentials evaluated by an ECA (CIC introduced the ECA requirement for the first time in 2013). Many did not know that one of the ECAs - WES - is capable of doing an evaluation within a week. So, they ended up sending to one of the other evaluation services and ended up getting delayed. This time around people are more experienced and many have credential evaluations from last year.

2) The biggest reason why people apply through FSWP is that FSWP is one of the few immigration programs that allows people to migrate without a valid job offer (it is next to impossible to get a job in Canada if you are applying from abroad - trust me I have tried!). SK accepted 250 applications for its provincial nomination program without a valid job offer from a SK employer on the 1st of January this year - it received 250 applications on the first day itself! For certain occupations, NS immigration also allowed applicants without a job offer to apply for provincial nomination this year. While it is not clear whether their cap of 150 nominations has been reached, based on the very high level of interest in the NS forum, I believe it may have very well filled its quota.

Moral of the story: Immigration to Canada is very highly competitive, especially for those very few programs that do not require a valid employment offer.

IT IS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO FILE YOUR APPLICATION ASAP. BUT MAKE SURE, I REPEAT MAKE SURE, THAT YOUR APPLICATION IS ACCURATELY COMPLETED!

Valid points. I second you.

Dear Admin,

Kindly remove the wrong entry for NOC 112. I belong to NOC 1112. Really appreciate those who build and maintain the spreadsheet. Good luck to everyone!

Think positive!

Hi Seniors, One Silly Question

How important is the sign, Cos each of my sign on each document is different, we can find atleast 4 differences in each

Please make sure to keep one sign as it may leads to confusion to the vo. I cant say that they will reject the application but chances of keeping it on hold is maximum. Its just my opnion. seniors may answer it efficiently.
