Hi,

I have applied for FSWP 2014 with NOC 2173, however I was late (the 1000 cap was completed before my courier could reach CIC). So, I am re-applying for EE in Jan 2015.

However, I have doubt about considering Spouse's points for CRS. I want to have a dependant PR Visa for my wife. She has IELTS score but ECA is not done (as it was not requried in earlier process). Now, we see a category "With Spouse" and "Without Spouse" in calculating CRS for EE.
Is this soley for getting (different) points/score i.e. I can omit my Wife's education and IELTS details while points calculation; but in case I recieve invitation would both of our Visa's can be processed (my as primary as wife's as dependant)?

There is a clear drop in score when I calculate "With Spouse" option, so want to be sure about the rules for applying. Additionally, I will have to wait for another 1-2 months (depending on university response) for getting my wife's ECA done, which will delay the process.

Regards,

You can get into the pool without claiming points for your wife's education, but you still have to use the "with spouse" version and include her in your application. Later I suppose you can update your profile when you get the ECA results. You cannot omit your wife if you want visa for her.

Please throw some light on your profile. Age, Experience, family composition etc. and I can surely give you an inside perspective.

Ok, so that is more important, thanks. Basically we cannot omit spouse's IELTS/ECA if we need dependent visa for her. This is the point where I am hearing different views from different people. So the major confusion.

Guys , my final score is 414 / 600 with IELTS at 119.

Can we all please post our scores here to give visibility to everyone on where we stand today ?

Additionally , i imagine people with extra 600 points with the Provincial Nominee / Canadian job offer will be dealt separately .

So , in the race as far as i know if they want to send the invitations for top 500 / 1000 applicants the cut-off may fall around 400 mark . If they have it for 450 i doubt that even half of their expected invitations will be sent .

What do you guys think ????

I have 422 in 2015, am going to have 456 in 2016, as I am completing my MSc at the end of this year.
I am less optimistic, I expect the cut-off to be somewhere between 450 and 500, but I hope you are right. They might start with a higher cut-off, and reduce it later in the year if they don't have enough people.

 

[riz.analyst]

Well , they will not decide the cut-off first and then filter the applicants .

They will first look for the max and min scores from the pool and take the average of that and may be they will freeze the cut off slightly above the average . If they really want to cut-off the score at 450 i think there will be only bunch of people that will be boarding their flights to canada as far as my knowledge and according to me 450 + is really an excellent score and it is highly likely that they will get an invitation for sure . Anyhow , lets hope for the best and wait . Fingers crossed .

My Analysis will apply for the Applicants without Canadian experience / PNP / Job offers . Rest of my fellow future canadian country men hope for the best . There will definitely be invitation to people as low as 380 with their scores . Not instantly but may be slowly over the period of months .

I agree with rizanalyst to an extent. LMIA and LMAO would be very tough to get. Companies which plan to hire a foreigner at a low paying job would be only willing to apply for LMIA. Believe me, when I was a student I used to work in a hotel on a part time basis. All the cooks and servers were LMO holders. Now, there is only one person with LMO over there. Even those employers are discouraging the use of LMIA.

As far as Canadian Job Bank is concerned, I bet if anyone gets any offer letter through it. No body ever uses it. I studied here, even university career centres don't know about any such job portals...

As far as PNP holders are concerned, more than 50% PNP holders would not meet FSWP or CEC criteria.

So, the cut-off score would surely go below 500 (in almost every draw). The question is how low will it go. Personally, I don't think it would go below 450-460. Again that's my personal opinion.
