Interesting to be here guys. Basically, I think in order to guarantee a better chance of being a successful FSW when it's newly open, wouldn't a first come first serve method apply once the requirements are being met.
I think prospective FSW should start getting the requirements ready but if I may ask, how about the Arrangement of employment? it's posing to be a barrier here, kindly let's help ourselves here.

thank you
 
im planning for may as well....tell me something do you need to do the language test now? or closer to when applying?

The principal applicant must have to send language test report (most likely IELTS - if you're claiming English as your first official language - with minimum of 6 bands in all the 4 domains) along with application. If you have spouse as well and if you want to claim 5 points, she / he must also have to send IELTS report (with minimum CLB 4 - which is equivalent to IELTS 4 to 4.5 in all the 4 domains). If you haven't appeared in ILETS up till now, I would suggest you to have it done ASAP..........

Hello,

We (my husband & I) are planning to apply for a PR under FSW category this May. We are now living in India for the past 3 years, before that we lived in the US (my husband for 11 years and I was in US for 6 years), we both have MS in Computer Science in a US University. My husband has worked in the US for 10 years and I worked for 2 years before moving back to India.
Given that we did our MS in a US university and have worked there for sometime, do we still need to give the IELTS test for english proficiency?
Because few of our friends in the US could get a PR without taking IELTS when they applied it from US. We will be applying it from India.

Anticipating a reply.
THanks.
 
Yes, you would need to take IELTS. NOONE is exempt, not even people born and living in English-speaking countries. Your friends might have applied under the old system when there used to be a workaround, but not anymore.

At this point in time, I feel only ECA agencies announcement would play major role with respect to timely execution of our application to CIO. We can write IELTS etc at our own - no worry about it. Still the ECA (though not announced yet) like WES, ICAS etc require university sealed transcripts of your final degree.......so my advice to everyone is to have degrees / transcripts ready and have those attested by your university of awarding institution now.
