Hi
Thanks for the useful information, my question is about the job categories for FSW program.
What will be the occupation list for 2013 would it remain same as last year or they will invite all jobs coming under NOC 0. A and B
If any body has any information please share it.
I am working as a Market Research Analyst it was not in the list before

Thanks

Thanks , I think there will be no fixed NOC list . because AGE / LANGUAGE is key point . so If NOC also fixed then CANADA will not get skilled worker as they require .

Thanks for your reply Susan,

if anybody gets the information regarding NOC list for this year, please post it..............hopefully there wont be any restriction on number occupations...there will be overall cap limit

[sigelopisan]

hedonistG  & susanbd, until the official announcement release to the public, nobody can tell for sure whether there will be a limitation of NOC or else.

However, there've been a "speculation" said that CIC will open all NOC application.

Lets pray for the best and expect the worst.

Thanks for detailed information on the new FSW.

Can you please explain more on the credential assessment. I have a masters in degree in an area that is not regulated in Canada(IT).
1) do i have to access my credentials
2) Can you suggest any credential assessment body i can approach to assess my credentials

Thank you

Hi,

At the risk of sounding ignorant, can you confirm if a job in hand is "mandatory" to apply for the FSW visa under the Jan 2013 proposed changes? Or is it ok to score a "zero" under arranged employment and yet have a score more than 67?

Thanks!

I would like to thank OhCanadiana for the post and all the other users that have been passing on valuable information!!
Once I have pretty much all my doubts checked just by reading the replies I'm left with only one huge concern.

I'm a biologist and work with research. My husband and I are both 30 years old (12 points  ).
Since my IELTS grades were good enough to make it to new 20 or even 24 points awarded I would be the main applicant.
I have a bachelor/teaching degree and I'm just about to start my Master's studies here in my country (not sure if under the new rules I would get 21 or 22 points for that). Next year we plan to apply under the new rules.

The thing is...

All the experience I have working as a researcher, is under scholarships programs. I have never had a real JOB per se (with the proper registration) because that's how biologist work here in my country... They are granted scholarships with a contract of one year or more that are engaged to a certain project in a Institution (usually a University).

The experience I have in my area (and can prove it) is like this:
1 year working as a researcher 20h/week while I was a undergraduated student (2002-2003)
1 year and a half (18 months) working as a researcher 40h/week after graduation (2007- 2009)
6 months working as a researcher 20h/week after graduation (2012)

All those jobs were not ofcially registered in a document, but I was granted scholarships and can prove my earnings.

The big question is:
How many points would I get with these working experience I have?
Are there any other researchers around here that are in a similar situation as me???

Regards,

As with the old system, under the FSWC, you don't need a job offer, you only need to score the 67 pts. The tougher language requirements and the points rearrangement for age,education and experience makes it a tough path to 67? Plus credential assessment is now mandatory

You will need a minimum band 6 in each ability. Because of your 5.5 in reading you will not qualify under the new rule. The good news is that you have time to write another test before january

Thanks much_mann. Glad I got that off my chest. Something tells me, that more than the immigration process to Canada, its "what's next" such as landing a job there once you get through immigration, is what is difficult. Do you have any opinions/insights to share?

KNJ,
Just glad to be of help as the post by others on this forum was of help to me also at some point. To your other request, am sorry I can't be of help with specifics, one thing you can never have too much of is RESEARCH. Don't always be afraid to ask a question when in doubt. The most stupid question is that one you failed to ask!!!

Reading through some post of masters like qorax, Saki, Kanamen etc is always a good place to start, Plus the home page on this forum is organized in topics, which will be a great place to dig for information treasures.

Most important, have an open mind. One man's trash is another person's treasure. Be prepared to adapt and survive. The first few months or years may not be easy, but remind yourself that at least you are pursuing your dream and if you work hard at it, it can only get better, NOT WORSE.

if you have any specific question at any time, post it on this forum and am sure someone is bound to have been through same and will be glad to help or supply the guidance you need. Keep the faith. Cheers.
