Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[taurus22]

IRCC, give us another surprise today , make my people smile today. Amen.

I am desperately hoping for the same thing! Many people (including me) lost points due to age when FSW draws were paused. Our scores dropped from 470-472 this year to 465-468. Now anything between 470-473 would have been a good score earlier this year, but the reduced 465 to 468 score doesn't seem good enough for an ITA anymore! The only thing that can give people like me some hope is B2B draws, as it would clear the backlog of people who should have, ideally, gotten an ITA if the draws had continued as usual (and if covid had not turned the world upside down).

Most unlikely. The best you can hope for is another b2b in December.

I have a question regarding level of education.
In the education history there are two places that ask for level of education.
My wife has a masters degree and wes had evaluated it as bachelors.

So my question is in level of education by wes evaluation i wrote bachelors.
But there is also another level of education question before that asking the actual level of education what should be entered here bachelors or masters ?
What i believe is that masters should be entered here and ECA evaluation level would be bachelors .
As they give points for what is written in ECA level of education.

Is this the correct approach?

As long your reference letter has all the details required by IRCC, you don't need to attach the offer letter.

Thank you

Hi guys! A question about the proof of funds - is it mandatory to request a letter from the bank as states - all in one paper? My bank is unable to provide this for me, so it comes on different papers - one paper is for six months balance, one paper if for my current balance, one paper with the address of the bank and with the date where I first opened my account. Has anyone have experience like this?..

Should be fine, just explain in your letter of explanation that your bank does not provide customised bank letters, but all the letters in aggregate provide the information requested. Of course, be sure that they do.

I don’t think a Letter of explanation is needed here. The documents provided by the bank is fine so far they are genuine.

 

[Chirusua]

Yeah and it doesn’t have their email address since they don’t have one. But they hand wrote the address for me. So pretty much all the necessary information is included just in a hectic format.

Thank you for the replies! Love this forum, have been a member for a while and wishing all your guys success and luck!

In my opinion it's better to explain why you haven't provided the documents in the format prescribed by them in the letter, so they know what the situation is.

Any time your application's documents deviate from the standard format they have requested, you should pre-empt that by addressing it and explaining the context behind that difference.

same score and hoping the same

@arghya009 @Himanshu6444
When did you file your EOIs?

if the score does reach 467, what'll be the tie breaker deadline in your opinion? Anyone who joined the pool from 2-Oct-2019 onwards at 467 must be waiting in the pool (as the scores never went below that since 2-Oct). Some profiles may have expired (2-oct-20 till 9-dec-20), but people may have reentered the pool already. I would assume the tie breaker would be from Jan-2020 or before.

Agreed. Better to be safe in that way.

Dear Friends,
After almost 9 months of waiting and experiencing Up and Downs beside you guys, I finally received ITA last Wednesday, and I will appreciate if any of you dear friends could answer my long questions:
1- on 29th July I did also receive an Notification of Interest from OINP and my profile status while receiving FSW ITA was " Decision in Progress", and yesterday I received an email indicating that OINP is interested in nominating me but my Express Entry Profile is "no longer available for nomination-other" and OINP is unable to issue me a nomination through the Express Entry System since I have received an ITA from IRCC. and my status in OINP profile is "Awaiting Information". what am I supposed to do ? just to withdraw the OINP profile? and if so what should be my answer to the question of "Has ..... received a nomination certificate from a province or territory? " while filling the PR application Form?
2- Can my wife (Main applicant) upload the Job Experience letter she provided for OINP 3 months ago or we need to update it and take a new one from the employer? considering the fact that 3 years of experience is already included in the current job reference letter.
3- What is the best "Activity Type" can be chosen for the Gap between higher education levels for example between bachelor and master. i decided to chose "Unemployed" but it seems it implicitly indicates the condition that you are on the Unemployment Benefits since it asks about the name of the company or employer right after it.
4-Before receiving an ITA from IRCC my wife (as main applicant) and I mentioned 4 years of none-Canadian experience for me that was of no benefit to our CRS Score. But now that we have faced problems of gaining Job experience letter we prefer to change the experience to 1.5 year. (considering the fact that I can not obtain a letter for my current employment) what is your advice on this case?
Thank you for your kind advices
