+1 for a detailed post to help a newcomer, great work !!

Answering your questions below in-line

1) I came to know that in Jan the Canadian Immigration intake System is going to change from the CIC website. I have to start application process. Is it still a good time or am i late? I have to get the educational assessment done too!

You are late but you might not be "Very Late"..Yes the current Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) is going to evolve into "Express Entry System" from 1st Jan 2015. That said, the current FSW 2014 program would still continue to process applications (and would remain active) till 30th April 2015. So, if you really rush up your Educational evaluation through WES (World Education Services) using their FSW assessment package and get your IELTS done quick too, you still might have a fighting chance. I know people who are still applying and still plan to apply

2) Is it a good idea to go through a consultant at this stage?

It is up to you to decide. In my personal opinion, consultants do not help much..they just charge lots of money to provide information which is easily available on this forum itself...At the end of it, it is you who has to get her Educational Evaluation done, IELTS done, provide all the info to be filled in the forms...Most of the senior members here agree that no one can put a better application for you than your own self

3) My husband has done his Bachelor's in Electronics and Communication. He has spent his 9 yrs of work experience in Telecom, Mobile and Lighting Industry writing Software. I myself have completed 11yrs of exp in Software Engineering with an M.S also in Software Engineering. Can we apply in my husband's name ?

There are 4 or 5 different Job Categories (each identified by a unique number and is called a NOC) under which you or your husband can apply. That said, the software related NOCs are considered hot and they fill up fast. Some such NOCs you can see and explore are 2171 - IT Consultant, 2173 - Software Engineers and designers , 2174- Programmers , 2175- Web designers , 2172 - Database admins (I have reproduced the names from the top of my head, might be wrong..but the NOC numbers are correct..2171, 2172, 2173, 2174, 2175
Again, you still might make it under categories such as 2171- IT Consultant or even the Database Admin category...Coz 2173 and 2174 are almost capped out already..But obviously, you need to see if your job duties match those which are listed under these categories and apply under the best matching category.

I hope the explanation was useful for you. Best of Luck

Hello Capr13,

Please let me know what does this notarization stand for. I mean we have to attest it from the advocate or need to put some tickets also..for the notarisation.

Yeah that's right but Patience is the key bro!

True patience is key... when Canada is your destiny.. no one can stop you....

Is there anybody whose employer received a verification call??
My question is especially to the applicants with 1 year work experience.


Thank you in advance.

I dont think if anyone will know how & when CIC conduct verification....they have different modes of communication or hired agencies to conduct this.

I am getting a feeling that they are troubling you unecessarily. At what stage are they troubling you? even before token? or counter A/B/C?

Passport expiration in 1 year shouldn't be a concern for PCC, validate it with the policies posted on website - I am pretty sure that won't be written. PCC is about your past, and all you are asking them is to check whether there is any criminal records. Fight with them - after learning about rules completely - and they won't deny it to you. (Edit: By fight, I mean, reason with them politely and don't back down - till the time you are polite they wouldn't throw you out )

About second point - I got my wife's PCC done even though she didn't have my name in her PP. She showed my PP (which had her name) as address proof, marriage certificate, and current rent agreement (although my PP was the most imp address proof).

Again, PCC is not about your marital status - it is about your criminal status. Please be assertive with them and don't take no for an answer; ask them to show you the policy, don't take verbal NO.

Thanks a lot wolf_metallo.. They sent me back even before issuing the token, at the counters where they verify your application and the documents. In your case, your PP had your wife's name, in my case, neither me nor my wife have each other's name on it. I think I need to go there again before I take any further steps.
