My application for FSW Ontario is rejected - What are my options

[shahzad73]

Hi,

I have long running application with canada for immigration (6 years now). 6 months ago i got a letter from Ontario to invite in their FSW Pilot Project. I send all of my documents. After 6 months i got letter that my application is rejected because of following.

- My IELTS score is 6.5 but 2 years old. they need 1 year old scores. I send an email that i can re-take the exam but they gave deadline for submission that i could not re-take and re-submit my scores. So i did not take the exam

- My qualification is not recognized as 3 yeas post secondary eduction. I have 2 years post secondary degree that is recognized but my other qualification (1 years diploma in computer sciences and 1 year Executive MS computer Sciences degree is not recognized)


Now this is the set-back. IELTS is no problme for me i can make 6.5 band again. But what about 3 year post secondary education. My main application with Canada is not yet returned as they are saying they will return it but even if they evaluate it i may have problmes with my degree.

I have 13+ years of continuous work experience as Software Engineer and now for last 7 years working in leading roles as Software Project Manager. Does this does not count. I learn that Software Engineers are out of demanded skills but project manager is still in.

What are my options now. Should i write Ontario to give me another change for IELTS. what about 3 years degree, how to cover it. is there any skills inequivalent criteria for academic qualifications


Best Regards

your best option is to apply for PR under CEC

PR under CEC would only be possible if he has been working in Canada for atleast an year..

 

[cygnet]

isn't he working in ON right now? well if he's not and he's outside Canada, my bad-.

Yup i'm outside canada and no job experience there ...

If you continuous study, i mean your post secondary graduation, from a recognized institute, then why they did not evaluated it for 3 years.

Yup i'm outside canada and no job experience there ...

@ shahzad73

try to find an employer that is willing to hire you in a position that is under NOC O, A or B and at the same time help you immigrate to Canada. If you found one, that employer can apply LMO and AEO at the same time for you that you will need to get a work permit and for your PR application under FSW2 (with arranged employment). You can get a lot of informations on the CIC's website. Hope this help.
Good luck!
