I am really confused about your post.

How can you say that it is only for Software Testers??

and Yes obviously Software Tester can apply because their title is enlisted

Example Titles
application architect
computer software engineer
embedded software engineer
software architect
software design engineer
software design verification engineer
software designer
software testing engineer
systems integration engineer – software
technical architect – software
telecommunications software engineer

except these all other titles for the Software Engineers

If anyone has all the documents Appointment letter, Payslip, Exp in title with Software Engineer then how can they apply as
2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers?

In last year FSW13 in is mentioned that
2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers(Except Software Engineers)

Applicant who are designated Software Engineers couldnt apply. If people apply in 2174 with designation Software Engineer, there is 90% possibility to be rejected.

For description, it is true that the responsibilities is similar to 2174 occupations but anyone trying to apply to 2174 with designation Software Engineer, they have to change their designation as Software Programmer or Software Developer

Please revert me if I am incorrect

Rumel,

I never said that Software Engineers can not file their application under NOC 2173 but most of the duties listed in NOC 2173 closely matches with test engineers, There are different duties available for NOC 2174 and 2175 which better suits the developers/programmers/software engineers working mostly on coding part.

For analysts 2171 is better suited, 2172 is best suited for DBAs.

Some people whose responsibilities falls under grey area(most probably co-ordination job/cross-functional job) can choose between 2171 and 2173.

I am stressing this because this can help people to do further research before choosing any category which they feel suits them better before sending their application as they have to go through the proofs that they have obtained from current and previous employers.

Again, person can choose any category based on the job duties that they are performing or had performed in past. Titles does not matter, one should choose correct category to convince CIC officials that they truly have expertise/experience in the NOC that he/she has chosen.

BUTT, BUTT, BUTT....

You need to provide detailed Reference Letter (with Contract, pay stubs etc.) for all those Occupations (whether Primary or other NOC) for which you want to claim points. Unless the Assessing Officer is satisfied with your Ref Letters viz. Skill 0,A or B, FT , paid etc etc.. S'he will not give your points, irrespective of NOC.

So if Applicant 'A' provides Ref Letter for only Primary NOC Occupation, he will get points only for that Occ/ # of yrs. (subj to satisfaction of VO). Similarly, if Applicant 'B' provides Ref Letter for all his Occupations in last 10 yrs (incl the Prim./ Eligible Occ), he can expect to get points for all of those jobs/ total # of yrs. (subj to satisfaction of VO). Disclaimer: its my personal view, pls corroborate with experts

To Senior Members:

I have some similar concerns as well. Kindly advise how to deal with the following :
1. Is it okay to write the Main Duties in current occupation in Schedule 3 form under section 12b even if I have no reference letter, my current company don't issue reference letters. I'm not planning to claim points with my current job, I'm just new (8 months) and not my Primary Occupation
2. I have been issued UCI in 2013 but denied due to CAP reached - I'll use this UCI in my application this year. Do I need to write my UCI in my Dependent's UCI in the Generic form or just leave the dependents UCI blank?
3. Also, in Schedule A form section 6d "been refused refugee status, an immigrant or permanent resident visa...?" I will put yes in my form as a principal applicant. Do I need to answer Yes as well for my spouse/dependent Sched A form?

Will sure appreciate all the help on this...Thanks.

[Mr and mrs S]

Am including some documents Regarding proof of relatives to have extra points in our application . Have an aunt ( sister of my mom ) who has been a Canadian citizen for 25 years already and residing in Toronto . Also have a brother who got his Canadian permanent residency card 3 years ago and is also currently residing in Toronto . Who do we use for our application as a relative ( aunt or brother ). or should we use both ? Will using aunt be better since she has been there 25 years versus brother who has only been there for 3 years and not yet a Canadian citizen ?

one question about NOC1112 cap filling deadline

According to FSW2013 spreadsheet, 13 out of 300 apps were recorded in the sheet. Does this mean that until 8th May 2014, the actual apps are the number in the FSW2014 sheet 38÷(13÷300)=880. is it right? i am really worried about it cos it is so fast to fill the cap. Thanks for any input

For the work experience I am providing reference letters. But is it mandatory to provide the additional documents such as- copies of work contracts and copies of pay stubs?!

I don't have the "pay slips" either from my current and past job! If I provide only reference letter is it going to be enough??

 

[balars4]

Bro's, Some one posted his friend application reached last week of April for FSW13. Whether his CC/DD charged?

Look in http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/fsw-2013-applicants-timeline-lets-network-here-t146774.64755.html
Users 'helokey and fdc1215' FSW'13 Applicants.

They charged CC/DD in 18days itself. AOR in 30days from received date.
Hope they would have charged till 20th April by now. From 20th to 30 April, they will complete CC/DD charge by 20th May.

With all this data I think CC/DD may be charged for FSW'14 applicant from 25th May or from 1st June itself. May-1 Applicant be ready during last/first week of May/Jun.

You can never judge bars on this theory, i don't know how we reach such a conclusion. Think about it. No cap can fill so fast. If it took 23 days to fill 300, can it be the case that 1000 got filled in 10 days? When the air was that fsw 14 will not open at all

Not mandatory but VO may request for them later. I would suggest you go ahead and proceed with your application.
