Hello all,

Are there any other people here applying for residency under the old FSW Category 3 (1 years experience in Canada)?

If so, at what stage is your application? I've been trying to work out how they are allocating old Cat 3 applications in terms of quotas etc. ...seeing as our category no longer exists!

Hopefully we haven't been shoved to the back and forgotten about.

Hope to hear from some of you.

I was initially processed under FSW 2, but my COPR had FSW 3 as my immigration category when I landed in Canada. I quit my job in the immigration process, but requested that I be considered under FSW 3 rather than FSW 2.

You can see my timeline on the side.

The letter from the CIO will state your category.

I do not know whether all 3 categories are treated in the same priority. I think that much depends on your visa office, your background checks, whether you are working in Canada already, and your nationality (for the trustworthiness of documents).
