FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[vishal shrestha]

Lot of the advice here might be correct and some might not be correct. I seek help from forums, but finally take my decision. There are people with good and genuine intention to help, as well as the negative type.

Some people just give ''what ever comes to mind" type of input, some try to mislead , some give genuine advice. Like in any forums, you need to filter the inputs judiciously.

Few things from my experience.

1. Only follow instructions given clearly in the checklist and reference documents. Do not try to deviate..

For work experience I have seen in few posts that affidivats can be option... Affidavits is not an option at all, unless you have a letter from your company it's not gonna work and your application will be rejected. So unless you have letter from your company do not send your application.

2. Write a covering letter. Although it's not mandatory, it's better to have one. Write one where you can show the points you received and how you received the points and the proofs you are keeping.

3. Birth certificates, if you do not have one you can submit 10th certificate or an affidiavit. Please be careful when you submit 10th certificate, it should have either of your parents name. 10th certificates of some boards (like ICSE), do not have parents name so they will be invalid and your application will be returned.
Last year there were few applicaitons rejected, because of Birth certificate issues.

4. Documentation work is not easy, it is a time taking process. Take couple of days off from your work and spend for documentation. Review your packet thoroughly.. Any small mistake (like signature missing, date missing) your app will be rejected rightaway.

5. You need to show proof only for settlement funds. Proof is not needed for Assets and Liabilites.

6. For DD you can approach Thomas cook or Standard chattered. Most other banks , esp nationlized, give DD valid for 3 month only.

If using CC, confirm with your bank if you can do a international transaction and if there are any limits. Also tell them about a expected canadian transaction.

7. From some parts of India UPS is a faster option to NS. So enquire with both Fedex and UPS and send your packet... Every day counts.

Packets sent on Friday or Saturday usually reach on the same day as the packets will be held up on sunday at a base location. So utilize the additional day if you are sending packet on Friday for a review.

8. Last year the time taken from application to visa from New Delhi office is about 10-12 months. So this new FSWP is quite faster.

10. It takes about forty five days to two months time for you to know the next status of your application. Till then zero inputs, first input to you will be charging of CC. If your CC is charged you are mostly done.

11. For WES documents, some universities take lot of time. U need to find out a DESI way to have this faster

What kind of letter do we need to obtain to support our affidavit???? In my case, i want to include the experience of a company which i left some 3 years ago and had worked there for more than 2 years earlier and at the time of leaving even i had obtained a reference letter (in, to whom it may concern format) so is that letter be OK to support my affidavit or i need to obtain new one of the recent time???

As long as its within 10 years, it should be fine I suppose

I think it is ok as long as it is the after the date of your resignation and the contact details of the signatories are still updated.

Also, this is a repost as it was not answered before,

Hi I have IELTS band score of
Listening 7.5
Reading 8.0
Writing 8.5
Speaking 7.5
Overall Band 8.0

and my dependent wife has
Listening 6.5
Reading 6.0
Writing 7.5
Speaking 8.5
Overall Band 7.0

How do we calculate the score to points for FSW 2014?

for yourself listening = 5 reading = 6 writing = 6 speaking = 6 total = 23 points
for your wife = +5 points

[rakesh537]

sorry rakesh it was a typo.

my query is :

Is it necessary to apply in my current occuptaion.
eg : for first 1.8 years i worked in 2172 and next 4.2 years in 2174. can i apply in 2172?

seniors please comment

You can apply but I'm afraid your 2174 experience of 4.2 years will be discarded. CIC clearly mentioned in selection criteria that you should be working since past one year under the NOC you are going to apply for. That means you can claim only 1.8 years of 2172 but not 4.2 years of 2174, as 2172 is before 2174. I hope you get it

It is advisable to attach 2 Payment Forms from 2 diff CC? Just incase 1 will not work, there's a back up CC.
I will receive my 2 new CCs this week.

Hi Guys,

This is the my first post. This is for the applicants from USA. I think the visa office has been changed to CPC-O from CPP-O. Please check the below lin k:

w .cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp

I'm assuming in the Generic application form we should mention CPC-O.

I agree. For 2013 applications, it was known as CPP-O, now I see this renamed to CPC-O as per information available on the website.

[meguser]

Hi All,

I have a very urgent query regarding the adaptability points collection. I have 1.5 years of full time experience (with last 4 years) in the Montreal area, Quebec, Canada.

Will this work experience be counted in the adaptability criteria (which is 10 points) in the total points of selection criteria for FSW 2014?

Currently i am on the margin of minimum required points, so this might help me in clearing my minimum points criteria easily.


Thanks in advance..
