Help needed to assess points for education:

I am a CMA (cost and management accountant) and my noc is 0111 financial managers. I applied to WES for assessment of my CMA degree which is done after bachelors; I did not send them my bachelor’s dox. They sent me the following evaluation:

I contacted them and told them that I think it is unfair as in my country it is equal to masters, they told me to send my bachelors dox and I ve sent them now but my ECAS still shows dox awaited.

Dear Members,

Today I mailed my Application for FSW2014 for NOC 2133 category, FedEx has given a delivery date for my documents to be May 6th. I hope I can make it in the 500 Quota for this NOC.

You sure have a big heart!
Let's hope that the status quo remains same by 1st May.
Cheers!

Dear ALL,

Please help, i got some replies from our friends but still confused.. Ashif if possible make it more clear for me.. sorry for the same question again..

I have a doubt in filling Question 12 a and 12 b of schedule 3. I am applying under "Mechanical Engineer" category and I have my designations as Assistant Manager Mechanical and Service Engineer, each having more than one year of experience.

I also checked that my designation as "Service Engineer" is same as "Mechanical Maintenance Engineer" title given under Mechanical Engineer category. I wanted to know, how should i fill 12(a)

12(a) Occupation - MECHANICAL ENGINEER NOC- 2132

12(b) Occupation - Assistant Manager Mechanical - 2132
Occupation - Service Engineer - 2132

Or, can i fill as below ,

12(a) Occupation - SERVICE ENGINEER NOC- 2132

12(b) Occupation - Assistant Manager Mechanical - 2132
Occupation - Service Engineer - 2132

Which format i can fill. Kindly advise.

Additional Info - In reference letter for Service engineer occupation i can get it as "Service engineer is same as Mechanical Maintenance engineer".

Hey Makeev,

I am sure they are not going to change a single bit than last year but still its better to wait to send on 1st/2nd May...

FEW TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION

1. Use all the updated forms on CIC website. (wait till 1st May CIC working time for the Application package containing updated Application forms, Instruction guide, Document check list, Fee payment form etc on their website)

2. Read the Instruction guide thoroughly. Fill your forms as per the instruction in Instruction guide.

3. Read the Document check list thorougly. If you are unable to provide any of the requested documentation, include with your application, a written explanation with full details as to why that document is unavailable and any documentation that would support your claim.

4. In the Document check list, It is clearly specified what documents you have to submit Original and what Photocopies.
Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by: the original English or French translation; and an original affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and a notarized photocopy of the document that was not in English or French as per the Instruction guide. However, as per the document check list, If your documents are not in English or French, you can send a notarized photocopy of the English or French translation with a photocopy of the document that was not in English or French.

5. Choose your appropriate Visa office in Generic form. Remember CIO, Sydney- Nova scotia is not a Visa office.

6. Don't leave any section/box blank in form. If something is not applicable to you then write "N/A" instead of leaving it blank.

7. Question No. 12 a. on Schedule 3 form: The primary NOC code is that particular NOC code you are eligible in out of the 50 eligible NOC codes. The primary occupation that you will fill in form should preferably be from the "Example Title" as listed in website for a particular eligible NOC code and your job duties must match with the eligible NOC Code. However, if your occupation is not listed in "Example Title" for a particular eligible NOC code but your job duties still matches with your eligible NOC code, you can still try your luck by mentioning that occupation which is not listed in "Example Title" as your primary occupation.

Your job experience letter must show the same occupation (job designation) you are filling in primary occupation of Question 12.a. For example, if you are applying in NOC Code 2132 ( Mechanical Engineer) but your job designation is "Thermal design Engineer" then you should fill primary occupation as "Thermal design Engineer" in Question 12.a. and provide work experience letter showing "Thermal design Engineer" as your job designation with job duties matching with NOC Code 2132.

The primary occupation you are filling in Question 12 a. must also be listed in Question 12 b. as one of your occupations.
12.a. Thermal design Engineer : NOC Code 2132
12.b. Thermal design Engineer : NOC Code 2132

8. Additional Family Information form: In section A of the form, Applicant is mentioned, not Principal Applicant.
Fill two seperate forms for Principal Applicant and spouse. In the first form, Principal Applicant is the Applicant and provide all subsequent details asked in form. In the second form, Spouse is the Applicant and provide all subsequent details asked in form. You have to fill one form only for one Applicant in English, write All names in native language as well in the same form.

9. Get ready with IELTS (for you and your spouse), WES, PCC (PCC can be submitted at later stage also), Proof of funds ( 6 months bank statement, balance certificate) and all other docs mentioned in Document check list.

10. Job experience letter must also cover job duties matching with your NOC (but duties should not be exact copy & paste from website), your designation, salary, period of employment, working hours etc and should be on the company letter head duly signed by the competent authority with company seal. Also include Appointment letter / Employment contract, Visiting card of the signing authority, Salary pay slips if available.

11.. You can use bank draft (6 months validity) or credit card but if going for a credit card option, fill the details of credit card correctly on the Fee payment form and don't forget to sign it. You must inform your bank of the upcoming transaction so that your cc payment doesn't get blocked for whatever reason.

12. Before handing over your application to courier, check again if you have included all the updated application forms, photographs and supporting documents as per the document check list.

Wish you the best in your application

This is a good write up, but I do not agree with 12(a). Occupation and job designation are differenent.. Ocuupation will be computer programmer or computer architect or civil engineer and not designation given in your company...

Thanks all,

I actually did some research and spoke to few people who work as professional Immigration Agencies. According to them, it states in CIC FSW release that Applications Received On or After 1st May will be accommodated, hence they said to send out application as criteria and application forms are posted. If you check the IMM008 Generic Application form was updated on March 3rd, 2014.

Regards

Good luck, better u should have waited. There are 1000 and not 500. A small error or change in form can push back the application.
Any way's ur's might be the first application to be picked up.

There is 90% assurance that nothing will change......applicants are just been careful not to be caught of guard.
It's a great risk by you......but no risk......no REWARD.
May you be rewarded!

Your question isn't silly.
There is likelihood that it will be needed.
Just confirm from your intended school of choice to be sure of what they need on ECA evaluation.
