Mate - All you can do is try. Since you have some time on your hands, suggest a few things:
1. Fill in all the forms, print out and go through them one form at a time. Take as much time as you need - say 1 form a day with fresh eyes? CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING - dates, photocopies, certificates etc etc.
2. Get the envelope as per specifications (might not be available, also not required 100% same size but it will help to not panic later) and write down the Dorchester Street address now. Later you can just put in the WES assessment and the IELTS result stub.
3. Make sure you cover the NOC job description in a drafted letter by your supervisor. From this forum I have read that it should be matching 70 - 80% to the NOC 2011's JD for 1123.
4. Prepare well for iELTS. If you have given academic before, beware general is a bit different (if not tougher). Is there no earlier date?
5. WES - be prepared to wait - some transactions take longer than others. The earlier you send, the better.
6. Check for the best courier to complete the transaction, it will keep you cool when you are waiting (its a long wait after sending the stuff out)

NO - you are not too late. 4/1000 applications in this category as of now. Its moving VERY SLOWLY.
Regards,
Rick

Hello 1123 Applicants!!

Glad to see a dedicated forum on NOC 1123! I've already applied and my doc received by CIO on 17th July. I've little confusion regarding my profession. Basically I've been working in the field of Marketing and Media research since last 4 years - 2 years in a market and media research agency (Nielsen) and 2 years in the R&D division of a Bank. I met a consultant and asked whether I will be eligible for 1123. After reviewing my JD he gave me the go ahead. But later I discovered in CIC website that marketing researchers are excluded from NOC 1123, though around 70-80% of the main duties match with my JD. I informed that to my consultant, but he was quite confident about the acceptance of my application. What do you guys think?? What is my chances of getting accepted??

Yipee, WES evaluation completed. Canadan becoming real afterall.

Be interested to know more myself. one of my key duties was also market research and consumer insight, but that's besides the other ones stated there.

Thanks, I did most of the above (1,3,4,5,7) as well as market research and insight as additional responsibilities. I presumed therefore that applying under 1123 was adequate. Shall ensure not to focus on the MR/CI part of my work and focus more on the mass media comm and PR

Hi Friends,

I am also applying under same category.
All the documents are almost completed and waiting for my PCC.

I have few questions if anybody can help.

1. I and my spouse don't have birth certificates so we are attaching notorized affidavit and class 10th certificate. Is it fine?

2. I am claiming 5 points for my close relative in Canada. She is niece of my spouse.
We are enclosing all the required documents along with a notorized affidavit from my husband that she is his maternal niece (sister's daughter).
Are these documents sufficient? or do our niece need to send some affidavit that she is our relative?

3. Do we need to show house, car & gold jewelry as an asset or saving and fixed deposits are sufficient to show?
We have sufficient funds in our saving account and fixed deposit so we dodn't want to show other assets.

will this be fine?

Hi, so sorry for my absence. I feel just like you do too, as if time is standing still in some respects. All we can do is read posts on the forum and watch our emails. Cheers 8)

Hi Friends,

I am also applying under same category.
All the documents are almost completed and waiting for my PCC.

I have few questions if anybody can help.

1. I and my spouse don't have birth certificates so we are attaching notorized affidavit and class 10th certificate. Is it fine? If the class 10th certificates list names of parents, it will be fine

2. I am claiming 5 points for my close relative in Canada. She is niece of my spouse.
We are enclosing all the required documents along with a notorized affidavit from my husband that she is his maternal niece (sister's daughter).
Are these documents sufficient? or do our niece need to send some affidavit that she is our relative? See from Document Checklist what is required, Proof of relationship:
Submit proof of relationship to your close relative in Canada, such as birth, marriage or adoption certificates. For
example, to prove that your relative in Canada is your paternal aunt, it would be necessary to submit copies of birth
certificates for her and for your father showing they have at least one common parent.
Proof of residency:
Provide evidence your listed relative physically resides in Canada. This may include copies of:
•
lease agreements,
•
the most recent Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency,
•
an employer's letter confirming employment,
•
monthly bills, etc., (one page of each bill is sufficient),
•
credit card invoices and bank statements.
Note:
The evidence should show the relative's name and full address in Canada and must be less than six (6)
months old from the date of your application submission

3. Do we need to show house, car & gold jewelry as an asset or saving and fixed deposits are sufficient to show?
We have sufficient funds in our saving account and fixed deposit so we dodn't want to show other assets. Your bank documents alone are sufficient to show proof of settlement funds. See again from Document Checklist,
Provide proof of unencumbered and readily transferable funds in a convertible currency available for settlement in
Canada:
• current bank certification letter; or
• evidence of savings balance; or
• fixed or time deposit statements

will this be fine?
