FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[riyavisa]

Add Generic form to the list too. It also have been changed recently.

Yeah that one i was using the updated one of June 2014

Does the latest update in the Background Declaration form mean that CIC does not add up work experience intervals? I see people here advocating the change and saying that it is aligned with how CIC calculates work points. Does that mean that two 10-month jobs are not considered by CIC as a work experience of 1 year and 8 months? Of course, I am excluding here from the discussion the special requirement of FSW Category 1; that experience should be one continuous year at least. To the best of my knowledge, other than the primary NOC, I did not read anywhere that experience needs to be continuous.

What do you folks think?

Hi Guys,

I need your urgent help. i am hoping to send the application in 2 days and just now saw that the Economic classes form has changed on CIC website. It was changed i suppose on 20th august, if i send the older form now, will that be a problem?? please please suggest. I have checked the older and newer form, both are same except that for question 12b CIC has changed the number of lines to write duties and the years of experience.
Please help friends. Please :-[

Always use the new form even if changes are very slight. Based on my experience last year, my application was returned because one of my forms was not the latest or the updated one so it's very important to check for any updates regarding the forms before mailing your documents. Check all the required forms at cic website, do not just rely on the date at the right side of the list. Download it & compare the date which can be found at the bottom of the forms to the forms you filled up.

Not sure what you are asking...Background Declaration form has not changed. I suppose you mean Schedule 3. I stand by what I posted earlier.


They aligned the form with the eligibility chart...No box to tick not only if you have less than 1 year of experience but also if you have more than 3 but less than 4 years of experience or more than 5 but less than 6 years of experience!.. My gut feel is that the form was revised to make it easier for 'grading' and does not materially change how the number of points are calculated based on number of years of experience. All the other revised forms in August are to reflect the change in law for the age of dependents going down from 21 to 19. Again, no new information requested. So, I wouldn't worry if you used old versions of these forms (assuming you have no dependents between the ages of 19 and 21 of course!) and sent your application in August. Just make sure you use the new forms going forward....

If the description and list of main duties match what you did at your last job(s), you can count this experience for points.
Use this chart to find the number of points based on your number of years of experience.

Experience Maximum 15 points
1 year 9
2-3 years 11
4-5 years 13
6 or more years 15

Hello Senior Forum Members,

I still see few applications from 7th, 5th and 6th May which have not been charged yet. CC or DD. So will CIC charge them as I see that they started charging 15th may applicants.

The last payment charge for 7th May applicant was done on 7/10/2014. After that I don't see any payment charged for 7th MAy applicants. There are still 35 uncharged applications of 7th May according to the spreadsheet. Or is that those 35 ppl have not updated there status in the spread sheet.

Please clarify.....

Once you are ready to receive PR on your passports, you will be required to send a new one for your son. Before that, you are good to go.

What about this case

Person left the country of origin and staying in a new country (current residence) and he is visiting country of origin from time to time

This is basically Case 2. He shall also not fill anything here, because the travels are between the country of origin and current residence.

Regards

No need to do anything at the moment. You sent in copies of current passports with your application anyway. When the visa office asks for passports, you'll provide the current passports at the time.
