Hi,
I recently came to know about the FSWP of Canada 2014. I am a software engineer(automation QA). I briefly went through theier process on the Canadian immigration website...and a few things that come to my mind are
1)Am I already too late for the process?
2)Can I apply individually or via a consultant like Y-Axis? asking for rs 80,000 +the mandatory fee for the VISA(around 1456 CAD)
3)ECA? Can I get it done through WES easily as an individual?
4)How to prepare for IELTS? and whats a good score?
and is there any timeline for submission of the application? and what if the sub-cap for software engineers and designers is already reached? if canadian authorities get more than the applications sub cap number, WOULD THERE BE A LOTTERY? and at what possible stages application could be rejected?
and will my fee be refunded in which of the possible cases of rejection?
hey ani!
1)Am I already too late for the process?
--> start it now if you are serious
2)Can I apply individually or via a consultant like Y-Axis? asking for rs 80,000 +the mandatory fee for the VISA(around 1456 CAD)
--> you have an option to do it on your own, but it's better if you have consultant since time is ticking for the 2174 and 2173 NOC which is applicable for you as QA automation Engineer.
3)ECA? Can I get it done through WES easily as an individual?
-->Yes, ECA can be done individually, just check their website and follow their instructions
4)How to prepare for IELTS? and whats a good score?
--> For each module, you have to get 6 points for listening, reading,writing and speaking.
and is there any timeline for submission of the application?
-> The submission started last may 1,2014 and probably ending by april 2015 also, same what happened for the 2013 fsw.
and what if the sub-cap for software engineers and designers is already reached?
-> the subcap for the 2173 once it is reached, your application will be returned.
if canadian authorities get more than the applications sub cap number, WOULD THERE BE A LOTTERY?
-> There's no such thing as lottery in applying for immigration but it is on a first come first served basis provided that you completed all your documents.
and at what possible stages application could be rejected?
-> it can be automatically rejected if your documents are lacking the necessary data that they need to proceed with your processing. Other than that, it's still up to the immigration officer holding your documents to verify the authenticity of it.
and will my fee be refunded in which of the possible cases of rejection?
-> it will be returned.
Thank You and see you in canada!
