Very sorry to read this rKo

After two years of waiting, no one should be denied an opportunity to move to a country because bureaucrats don't recognize the degree you gained. Had they been more efficient, you would not have waited so long just to find out that your university is not on their list of approved institutions. They should, at the very lest, publish a list of acceptable institutions by country.

Hopefully things will work out for the best.

You could try and pursue your university to have your degree recognized.

Alternatively, Australia represents anothe option.

Good luck!

Hi Nekol, which category are we? MI1, MI2, or MI3???
Dear Dilup,
Below are the Ministerial Instructions (MIs) in which FSW applications are currently being processed under:

Ministerial Instructions (MI1)*: Federal Skilled Workers

Under the first set of Ministerial Instructions (MI1) issued on November 29, 2008, CIC began to limit the type of Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) applications received to the following categories:

a) applicants with an arranged employment offer;
b) applicants with work experience in one of 38 in-demand occupations; and
c) applicants in Canada as students or temporary foreign workers.

MI1 was applied retroactively to FSW applications received on or after February 27, 2008.
*Note that MI1 was superseded by MI2's issuance (see below)

Ministerial Instructions (MI2)*: Federal Skilled Workers, Canadian Experience Class, Immigrant Investor Program

As part of the second set of Ministerial Instructions (MI2) released on June 26, 2010, CIC capped the number of new FSW applications to be processed at 20,000, not including applications with an arranged employment offer. The Department also responded to evolving labour market trends by issuing an updated FSW eligibility list of 29 occupations, each capped at no more than 1,000 applications. In addition, FSW and Canadian Experience Class principal applicants became subject to mandatory language testing. MI2 also included a temporary pause on new federal Immigrant Investor Program (IIP) applications.
*Note that FSWP and IIP provisions in MI2 have been superseded by those in MI3 (see below)

Ministerial Instructions (MI3)*: Federal Skilled Workers, Immigrant Investor Program, Entrepreneurs

Effective July 1, 2011, the third set of Ministerial Instructions (MI3) further limited the intake of new FSW applications by lowering the global cap to 10,000, with sub-caps of 500 for each of the 29 priority occupations. It introduced an annual cap of 700 for new applications made under the federal Immigrant Investor Program, and also included a temporary moratorium on Entrepreneur applications while that program undergoes review.

Ministerial Instructions 8 (MI8): Federal Skilled Workers

Effective May 4, 2013, the eighth set of Ministerial Instructions (MI8) lifted the general pause on the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). It re-established an eligible occupations stream, with an overall cap of 5,000 new applications and sub-caps of 300 applications in each of the 24 eligible occupations. MI8 coincided with the coming into force of the modernized FSWP, which included new minimum language requirements and mandatory educational credential assessments of foreign educational credentials. MI8 also re-set the cap for PhD applicants under the FSWP (1,000 new applications each year) and for the Federal Skilled Trades Program (3,000 new applications each year) to May 4, 2013 thru April 30, 2014. Lastly, the MI renewed the temporary pauses on the Immigrant Investor Program and the Federal Entrepreneur Program

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/#mi1

you, nekeol, myself and all other friends in this thread who are listed in Mr. Engineer's list are MI-3 applicants since we have applied on/or after July 1, 2011 :)
