Dear Forum Members,
Please put some light on this query, if someone got PER then it means he has passed the selection criteria ? and only admissibility check remaining for him which will be done at Visa office.
A "decision based on selection criteria" means that an immigration officer:
•has assessed your FSW application against the points grid, and
•has made a decision on whether or not you meet the selection criteria of the program.
Currently, the pass mark is 67 points out of a grid worth 100 points. The grid considers the person's:
•ability in English and/or French
•education
•work experience
•age
•whether they have a job already arranged in Canada (arranged employment), and
•how well they might adapt to living in Canada (which awards points for things like previous work or study in Canada, spouse's education and relatives in Canada).
If your application is successful, you would move to the next phase (i.e. admissibility). At that point you would be checked against health, security and criminality requirements before being allowed to enter Canada.
If you do not score at least 67 on the FSW points grid, your application would be refused and CIC would inform you of the decision.
