Hello,

After much-awaited WES reports of my spouse (which took about 4 months), we created our FSW profile with a score of 456 on 23rd August. Now, we have just found out that my wife is pregnant. What should be our course of action in this case? Our preference is to get our paperwork sorted as soon as possible.

I would highly appreciate some inputs as we are totally confused. Our options are:

1) Should we modify our profile and just the primary applicant apply for PR and then settle in Canada first before inviting my spouse and child?

2) Should I apply for 3 people (myself, spouse and child)? In this case, how do I provide details of the child which will be born after about 9 months? Also, wouldn't this process delay the entire process?

3) ---- Open to other suggestions as well ----


Many thanks and kind regards,
WR

You can create your normal profile with your spouse. Your spouse's pregnancy will come into picture after you receive your ITA and apply for eAPR during medicals. X-ray is a part of the medicals and people avoid x-ray during pregnancy. Post delivery you can add the child and complete your medicals

You cannot apply for 3 people now. You have to wait till the child is born

Many Thanks Jack. Does this in another way mean, the paperwork would be stalled until the child is born?

Yes if she is in the peak of pregnancy. You cant risk an x-ray during that time and post delivery the details of the child are added and process continues

I am little bit confused, i am also going to apply for FSW program which is under express entry, and read out that scoring 67 point is compulsory out of 100, but you are saying that you get 456 score under FSW. Please can you explain it?

The CRS that is currently being accepted is around 460 and up. Not the same number. Once you have your 67 points you move to another number that is calculated based on age, language score, degrees, etc.

You are mixing up six selection factors which determines your eligibility for FSW and CRS which ranks you in EE pool and determines if you get an ITA. They are two separate things

i used this calculator thousand times and i get 330 points, but when i searched about FSW i got 71 points (mentioned all the points on the Canadian official website, so i calculated one by one), because of 5 year experience 13 points, spouse language 5 points, and my uncle & aunt citizen of Canada i got 5 points, so through FSW i am eligible for express entry but not eligible in CEC because the cut off score is very high almost 460.
so the question is how @wr91 got 456 points via FSW?

It’s just a mix up.

He’s likely an EE-FSW stream candidate: He got 456 (EE) CRS points and he’ll have a separate score for the FSW stream.

Basically there are two scoring systems. One for the EE pool (CRS) and the other for FSW eligibility.

Clear enough?

71 is your six selection factor score. 330 is your CRS score
So 71 makes you eligible under FSW but your CRS is way too low to get an ITA. Try to boost your CRS.

Whether you are under FSW or CEC depends on when and where you gained your work experience. Your perception of "not eligible in CEC because the cut off score is very high" is wrong. You are not eligibility for CEC if you don't have qualified work experience in Canada. CRS doesn't determine your eligibility.

So is there any way that FSW points can change into or equal to CRS score, so we got exact figure?
IELTS (CLB 7) = 16 Points
Education (Bachelors) = 21 Points
Work Experience (6 Year or more) = 15 Points
Age (18 - 35) = 12 Points
Adaptability (Spouse Language + Realtive in Canade) = 10 Points

Total score i got = 74 Points

Now anyone can tell me what is cutoff score of FSW, (now i know there is no cutoff score in FSW), so plz tell me how much equivalent to CRS score?
If i done it on CRS Calculator i didn't get 2 things ( Work Experience has no option of 6 year, relative in canada because my uncle and aunt canadian citizen (CRS only ask if your blood relative is in canada parents, sister, brother, spouse)).
