Hi friends,
CIC announcement.

Note: As of July 1, 2012, CIC has temporarily stopped accepting applications for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). This temporary pause does not apply to those with a qualifying job offer or applying under the PhD stream. We will likely start accepting applications again when the revised FSWP selection criteria take effect. Proposed FSWP changes should come into force in early 2013.

As of July 1, 2012, we will only consider applications:
•with an offer of arranged employment, or
•submitted under the PhD stream (see below) until the cap of 1000 applications is reached.

Applications received from PhD applicants:

Starting November 5, 2011, CIC will accept a total of 1,000 applications from international students who:
•have completed at least two years of study in Canada towards a PhD, or
•who graduated from a Canadian PhD program in the 12 months before the date we receive their application.

Find out more about eligibility for this category.

Applications received toward the overall cap: 737 of 1,000 (as of May 29, 2012)

Dear GSK
thanks for updating

Guys,

I think the new rule which is going to come in Jan 2013 will have Assessment of pharmacy degree as a mandatory process.

I think it will be compulsion to send the positive assessment along with your complete file to CIO-Nova scotia.

This is just my guess.

Thanks.

Dear Qasim
Yes, all documents Photocopies should be notorized . CIC wont accept photocopies that are not notorized. And we need to need passports Notorized copies along with our application, or else it will be returned back from CIC. hope this helps.

Hi All
Here the positive is they did not scrap FSW totally and the PAUSE is good to all ..... Esp the new applicants (we alll) . I believe the processing time will be short and it would be easy for all to land sooner than people who applied earlier
Hope all is well

FAQ

Changes to federal skilled worker programs as of July 1, 2012
Why are you putting a temporary pause on Federal Skilled Worker applications?
Why are you putting a temporary pause on Federal Skilled Worker applications?
CIC is implementing a temporary pause in order to draw down the FSWP inventory, helping to clear way for the introduction of a new application management system to support our “just in time” vision of immigration. The temporary will also enable the Department to concentrate efforts on bringing in an improved FSWP to select skilled workers who will be better positioned to succeed in the Canadian economy.
Application intake will likely be re-opened to coincide with the launch of the revised FSWP selection criteria and new Federal Skilled Trades Program. The proposed regulatory amendments will be pre-published in the Canada Gazette in the coming months and are expected to take effect by early 2013.
It is important to note that this temporary pause on new FSWP applications does not apply to candidates with qualifying offers of arranged employment or to those applying under the PhD eligibility stream.
Will CIC continue to process existing Federal Skilled Worker applications in the inventory?

Yes, CIC will continue processing eligible Federal Skilled Worker applications received to date.
What sort of changes can we expect in the new FSWP grid?
What sort of changes can we expect in the new FSWP grid?
Based on the FSWP program evaluation and stakeholder and online consultations in spring 2011, the FSW selection criteria will be modernized, with an updated distribution of points on the grid. The proposed changes are intended to better select skilled immigrants who will be able to contribute to the Canadian economy.
Proposed changes include:
• introducing minimum official language thresholds and increasing points for language;
• making changes to the assessment of education points to reflect a foreign educational credential’s value in Canada;
• redistributing points for age to benefit younger immigrants who will be active members of the workforce for a longer timeframe;
• reducing points for foreign work experience and increasing points for Canadian work experience;
• increasing the integrity of and simplifying the process for the Arranged Employment factor; and
• facilitating the immigration of skilled tradespersons by establishing a separate Federal Skilled Trades program using selection criteria that are more specific to those in the skilled trades.
When will the revised FSWP be in place?
When will the revised FSWP be in place?
The full regulatory changes proposed to the Federal Skilled Worker selection criteria, the new Federal Skilled Trades class and the Canadian Experience class changes will be pre-published in the Canada Gazette in the coming months. Final publication is expected before the end of the year, with the new requirements taking effect in early 2013. The Department also expects to issue an updated occupation list at that time.
