FSW 2014 - MASTER THREAD - 2171/ 2172/ 2173/ 2174 SERIES

[Pipis Husband]

Hi All,

I have few questions regarding FSW 2014. I am planning to send my docs to CIC in this week only but before sending to them i want to clear my few doubts.

1) do we have to send all passports ? Old and current both Only from current passport

2) Do we have to send all marksheets including secondary high school ? ( I mean 10th grade and 12th grade as I am from India) No, secondary school not required. Send just your degree certificate and ECA

3) Can we use paperclip for binding those documents and forms as they are many ? I can say around 70 pages. Binding not required but you may use a clip if they are bulky. No staples at all!

4) I am unable to fit all pages in CIC mentioned envelope which 9" x 12" ... so what should I do ?You may be putting in some documents that are not required that is why your stuff is not fitting into the envelope. Review the application package and remove those items that are not part of things listed in Document Checklist. But if you mean the envelope is not long enough, get a slightly larger one, no problem for this

If anyone can answers above questions then it would be great for me.

Thanks in advance

Hope the above helps, cheers.

See the duties for 2172 according to NOC site,

Database analysts perform some or all of the following duties:

I recommend you modify your duties to fit the NOC site stated duties to avoid confusion and rejection. CIO review clerks are not subject matter experts, they just want to see a match so rework that long list you have up there to match NOC roles up to 80%. You can put a few of your major duties at the bottom, all the best.

Hello all,

I have trouble validating fast enough my study degree by WES, due to my university...birocracy...but I hope to submit my application around mid October.

Do you think i will make it before the cap is reached for NOC 2173 or NOC 2171?
My job duties belong to both NOCs but I am wondering which one will not be cap full until then.

Thanks.
Anca

Hi, why do you need your former colleague's experience letter? Is she your spouse and the primary applicant for your FSW application? Please clarify your question

Hey guys are there any real chances of getting your PER if you apply for 2174, sending your application out next week? Seems to me like there is no chance. :'( Looks like the cap will be full by the end of this month or by mid October.
What Do you guys think?

 

[aircanada2014]

My application was received in CIO last June 20. Given that 2174 is already 662 and CIC haven't touched June yet, I'm seriously doubting my chances now. What you think guys?

I once predicted in this forum that some NOCs were already capped around June,2014
but a lot of members disagreed.
Now the reality is that some of these hot NOCs were capped in June and July,2015.
As per your case,you should be among the lucky ones but the truth is that July,2015
applicants for this NOC will have little or no chance of making it.
Best of luck.

Hello all.

I will be dispatching my FSW application documents tomorrow from India. My NOC code is 2173. Do you think I stand a chance in qualifying?

I read somewhere in the post that CIC has not touched the applications submitted in June. So I am worried now. What you people say?

You should be fine. The figures in cic site is most likely based on completeness check.Some assumes they have done completeness check till end of June.
