Ontario FSW Pilot

[pradeeshma]

Hello All
  I received a letter today saying that i'm selected for the Pilot. When going thru the website they are asking for IELTS score not older than 12 months. Filled in application must reach CIC before 4-May.  The earliest date that I'm getting to re-take IELTS is on May first week.  So its not possible for me to send all the documents before 4-May. Valuable members pls advice.

Hello Ahmed and Rafiarz
  Thx for your inputs. I'm planning to do the same way.  In the "FSW Backlog Reduction Pilot - Nominee Application" first page they say
consult "Consult the application for help in completing this form".

Are you able to locate this Application guide on their website?  If yes please let me know the link

Seems like this is a work permit for 2 yrs and then they will process our backlog case.. also as per my consultant they will charge you later. Any suggestion ?
