Can anyone with experience confirm that Mechanical engineer's with Degree can apply in category 2232 Mechanical engineer technologists, if the job duties match?

the only thing that matters is the duties matching.

i think car loan is considered as liability so your funds should state $bank accounts - $car loan

Not true. It varies from case to case depending on the nature of the liability. In the case of a car loan, the only asset that can be lost if the liability is defaulted is the car itself. (I am assuming it works the same as in most countries, but if not you should go by how it works in your country.) They can't take his bank account if he doesn't pay his car loan, they can only take his car. Even if they could take his bank account for not paying the care loan, he does not need to reduce the amount of his settlement funds unless those funds are actually encumbered (meaning he is prevented from withdrawing them because they are security against the car loan). I highly doubt this is the case.

Plus, the car can be added to assets.

People think settlement funds is a simple matter of assets minus liabilities. IT ISN'T. Telling people this may lead them to conclude they don't have enough settlement funds when they actually do. Don't mislead people!

Hello Friends,

I have following query for applying under NOC-2171:-
->I've checked under NOC Job titles and my current designation is not matching out of the 79 titles given in the list of NOC-2171.

My current designation is "Senior Quality Engineer" where as , the most matching title i found in the list is "Senior Quality Analyst" .
So i want to check with You all, whether we should have matching tiltes for applying under a particular NOC or i can apply with my
current Job title.

What matters is matching the duties, not the job title.

Re: Asset, Liability, POF

Can somebody clarify?

If there is bank loan in the spouse's name, and he/she (Spouse) is serving the loan, then should the principal applicant mention the loan as liability?

yes

 

[future_canadian]

Hi All,

I have a question abt funds.
Should we consider home loan as liability ?
If yes in that case should I consider my house as asset ?
Or
Can I just mention my savings bank account as assets with zero liabilities.

Regards
Arjun Singh

House is asset, home loan is liability, all must be disclosed.

Greetings to all,
Please advise me if i am eligible to apply.
I am one of the directors in my father's company (private limited) engaged in construction activities and have been working there for the last 7 years. Am i eligible provided i fulfill the education and IELTS requirements? FYI there have been regular NEFT transfers from the company to my own personal savings account for the last 2 years that i can show as income proof.
If eligible, what work documents should i prepare? should i include the director list and reveal that its my father company?

P.S I am thinking of applying under NOC 0013.

Help on this matter will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Read the guide and document checklist:

 

[future_canadian]

One of my previous employer/company has been closed. I want to claim points against that experience as I have
1. Reference Letter
2. Offer Letter
3. Business Card
4. My senior business card as well.

Please let me know what can be workaround in this case.

If they are closed and no other information is available just provide whatever you can.

Are you in contact with your supervisor or someone else from that company who knew your duties and could write you a letter?

>Because I got in IELTS= Listening 7, Reading 6.5, Speaking & Writing 6. Is it Correct????

online module while remaining all exams were exempted on the base of my previous studies.

Dear Seniors,

I have few doubts here.

1. once we get the PR on NOC 2174, can we work in other NOC (lets say 0112 HR department) in canada?
2. can Spouse also do the job??
3. can we run own bussiness if we entered as FSW??

Hi there I'm a newbie here. Can anyone help me which NOC
My husband can be qualified? He's been working from call center
for almost 5 years started as agent then specialist, team leader
now as a operational manager. Can we choose under NOC 0013?
(Managerial Position for communication) He's a graduate of BS
Education.
Pls help us because we don't know what to fill up.
Many thanks guys

You must keep the local VO apprised of all changes in family status. If you get married you'll need to provide all the appropriate forms and documents to the local VO as if you had included her in your original application. I believe you must apply for your wife prior to the time the visa is issued otherwise you cannot include her on that application but will have to make a separate family sponsorship application to include her later. I am not 100% on that, others please advise.

That is correct.

@ randev

"these countries" (India, & may be China) doesn't have any short supply of competent investment analysts... & its quite possible that there Non CFA's are going to give competition to CFA holders in Canada

Pls understand, CIC comes up with Occupation List based in their surveys for potential job/ demand for those Occupation/ skilled workers in Canada, okay ? If they aready have "competent investment analysts" (like u said) and those many no. of CFA's (as per your anaysis- more than US in per capita terms) why'd they invite 1000's NOC 1112 in their 50 Eligible Occupation List

(A smart analyst doesn't consider statistics on face value .. he use statistics to get insights)

Like many on this forum, I, too, am curious whether the cap for financial and investment analysts (NOC 1112) is reached or is getting to close to being reached. My gut feeling is that the number of financial and investment analysts on the FSW 2014 spreadsheet is grossly underestimating actual interest in that category. Consequently, the anticipated cap reach date for NOC 1112 of 7/17/2014 could be very well off the mark. To get a better estimate of potential applicant pool / actual interest in NOC 1112, I attempted a unique approach. The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is the gold standard for Financial and Investment Analysts. The designation implies competence and mastery of a wide body of knowledge deemed critical for sound investment analysis. Many adverts for financial and investment analysts specifically say that the ideal candidate for the position will be a CFA charter holder. I Googled CFA membership directory to get a breakdown of CFA charter holders by country. The results stunned me!

Since China and India represent about half the world's population, I looked up these countries first to gauge the number of investment analysts who could potentially migrate under the FSW program. Here are the numbers:
China's population is 1.4 billion; according to CFA institute's member directory web link, the number of CFA charter holders in China is just 2960
India's population is 1.2 billion; according to CFA institute's member directory web link, the number of CFA charter holders in India is just 1319
While Canada is the second largest country in the world in terms of land mass, its population – 35 million - is quite small. The country, however, has 14,769 CFA charter holders.
Let me put Canada's number in perspective: the US has 58,508 CFA charter holders. US' population is 318 million. Using proportions, I calculated how many CFAs Canada would have if its population were as large as the US'. For those of you who care to know, number would be 134, 186. Per capita, Canada has a much greater number of CFAs than the US!

My attempt to gauge the potential size of NOC 1112 applicants from China and India proved futile. The only conclusions that I arrived at was that these countries, despite having very large populations, have a stunningly short supply of competent investment analysts. On the other hand, Canada, despite its small population, has many CFAs. Competition for financial and investment analyst jobs in Canada is, thus, likely to be pretty intense!
