Dear All,
Thanks a lot for putting up so much of info. This really helps a lot. I need your suggestions regarding my FSW application.
Here is my situation: I have total 7 years of experience. Out of this,
First 4.2 years falls under 2174:Computer programmer
and remaining 2.9 years is under 2172

atabase Administrators.
While I was able to get roles and responsibilities letter on company letter head for the 4.2 years under 2174, for 2172, my current organization refused to give any such letter. Because of this reason, i filed my application under 2174 and my application was received on Sep 11. Looking at the updates since then, the likelihood of my application for 2174 falling within the quota of 1000 is minimal or may not be there at all.
I heard that we can file under multiple categories so, i am thinking of filing another application under 2172 but, there is no process mentioned clearly on cic website regarding this. Is this possible? If yes, can you please point me to the location where any such info is available. Also, in case this is possible, do you think it is better for me to wait for the first application to be returned and then file the new one or, it would be just fine if i send a fresh one (probably with an explanation that i had filed under 2174 earlier)?
I am confused as, whether the first one gets through or comes back, i will be assigned a UCI but, I will not know it till i hear back on the first application.
I will still not be able to get roles and resp letter from my org but, can have one of my colleagues sign an affidavit for this. Further, all my payslips mention my designation as database admin and may help me in proving my experience. Hope such stuff will work.
Please advise.
Jamie.
