FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[scylla]

What is PER , i don't see they mentioned that 188 is PER issued applicant from 9th to 12th May ...I am bit confused now

September will be too late to apply for 2173. This NOC will cap well before then.

Hello guys,
My file was delivered on 07 Aug 2014. When can I expect a response from CIO and from which mail ID?
I got a DD issued from Thomas Cook. How can I check whether it got encashed or not?
Currently the count for 2173 is 188. Do you think I have chances this year?
Does consultant plays any role in fast processing of a file? I have not consulted any one and have sent my file on my own

1) i think you will hear in nov
2) you can confirm about your dd status from the thomos cook branch
3)no one can predict about the cap..but i think will be safe
4)no consultant will help you for preparation of file only...

Guys any idea or anyone may please show me how to count the caps for a specific job by this time?

Any of you guys has a wild guess that noc 3012 is closing by which month...

Thank

It is highly likely that the cap may never reach for this NOC by April 2015, which is the closing of FSW 2014

I landed today at Vancouver airport.

Hi guys,

My 3 hours flight from Los Angeles arrived at Vancouver airport at 1:00pm. Customs form was provided to passanger in the flight which I filled in before reaching the Visitors verification window. It was not a long queue so I reached the window after a short wait in the queue.
Officer at the window asked me for Passport and customs form. He saw my immigration visa and directed me to go to the new immigrats/students section. This was a 2-3 minutes process.

I was the only one there for new immigrant formalities. The officer at the counter greeted me and asked for my passport and COPR. He then looked for me record on his computer and gave me welcome kit and then directed me to go to another window where there were already around 25-30 students from China waiting for them to be called for verification. This took 10 minutes.

For verification window, it took me 15-20 minutes for my turn. Officer asked me for my passport and COPR. He then started looking at my immigration file on his computer which he said was very large. He also mentioned about some extra documentation for my medicals in his system because of my invalid IME and also about my POF transactions clarifications which was there on the file. He asked me my address in Canada and if this is my short trip to which I said yes. I gave my friend,s address to which he said that my PR card will be sent to the same address within 6 weeks and told me to visit Service Canada to apply for SIN (SIN is not done at the airport). After going through my file, he stamped the COPR and said all is done and I should proceed to Cashier counter because I had over 10,000 dollars which I had already mentioned on my customs form.

Then, I told him (I proactively asked this; Thanks to the info shared by Qorax on 2013 forum) I have Goods Accompanying and Goods to follow forms which I want him to stamp at which he saw the papers and said he will be able to take care of this. I had also mentioned my car which I wanted to move from USA. He was not sure if car can be mentioned on this (B4) form so he checked with other official and striked through the car and said that vehicles are taken care at the border. He signed, stamped and mentioned the confirmation number on the form, kept one and gave another copy to me. This took around 20-25 minutes.

After this, I went to the cashier window where I told the person how much amount I was carrying in cash and cashier check(I had a few USD, CAD and bigger amount as cashier check), the currency. I was also asked to show the cashier check. He filled in a form and mentioned the amounts on that and signed my customs form. This took 5 minutes as there was nobody else before me at this window.

I went towards airport exit where the customs form was collected before exit so overall a very simple process. I have been to Vancouver earlier as a visitor but this time the sky looked more beautiful, weather more pleasant, air so musical, people more charming, myself more relaxed. I became a Permanent Resident afterall and that too in exactly 4 months.

I am going to be in Vancouver for a week during which I will open bank account, apply for SIN and will go back to USA. My current employer may transfer me to Canada or I will search for a new job myself and move here permanently. This time I came only with a carry on bag and will move rest of my stuff later when I come back with a job offer. This is completely legal to come once to complete landing formalities and come back later to settle so have no doubts. Good luck to all.

I referred to the following information posted by Qorax and reposted by islandbabe which is very useful pre-landing knowledge:

nice!!! really helpful and useful god bless and best wishes!!!

Good luck for your app as well...

Oh okay. 2173 is going to Live.

And good luck to you for your application.

actually I am planning to borrow about 10000CAD from friends and show the balance certificate,,,, and return to them after few days,,,

I am sorry to say that would be misrepresentation of funds. It is clearly stated in the CIC website that this money should be your's (or your spouse, if applicable) and should be unencumbered. I rest my case.

Hi,

The birthplace in the Birth certificate is different from that in the Passport. Both are adjacent villages in kerala and the Passport has my permanent address place name whereas the BC has the place of hospital where i was born. Will it create any problem to my FSW application?

Thanks in advance for your valuable comments.

I suggest you add a cover letter explaining the same in detail. If possible, have the same notarised for maximum effect.

For point 1, I originally showed proof of funds of 29000 but the settlement funds requirement for a single person is 11,000+ CAD and for a married couple it is 15,000 CAD as per CIC requirement.
Is it OK if I make sure that I have 15,000 CAD always and invest the remaining 14,000 CAD to buy a property?

1. You'll probably have 60 days from the time of the request, but there's no reason you can't start gathering them now. It would be a good idea.

2. NO! Your settlement funds must be liquid and unencumbered (not necessarily cash), and property definitely does not qualify. They could very well ask you for updated proof of funds. If you don't have sufficient liquid and unencumbered funds when they ask again you will be rejected.

3. Nobody knows for sure but I think you are ok in 2171.
