Hi all, Figured I'd start a Feb 2016 applicants thread since I couldn't see one. We sent our application at the weekend and FedEx expected delivery date is 4th Feb 2016. Vancouver will be our local CIC office. Still seems a little backwards to me - having to courier our application from...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/complete-applications.asp I've been thinking about this, why did CIC take 6 weeks to update their page, and only showed a small number of applications when they did? And why does this still show only up until 4th May? Since CIC are admitting to...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/complete-applications.asp CIC state this will be updated at least once per week. 6 weeks after the doors opened they have still not posted a single update. Anybody taking bets as to when they will? :) IMO there are several NOCs which have probably...

Hi, Sorry if this is old news or a duplicate post. The bulletin is a couple of weeks old but I couldn't see it being posted here so figured it was better to post the information several times than not post it at all! :) Anyway looks like there will not only be a cap, but also seems there will...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2012/2012-03-30a.asp Under proposed legislation, CIC will close the files of FSW applicants who applied before February 27, 2008, and for whom an immigration officer has not made a decision based on selection criteria by March 29, 2012...

*EDITED* Sorry guys a thread already exists for this, so let's stick with that since it's longer and has more information! :) http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/those-planning-to-apply-after-01-july-2011-lets-connect-t72572.0.html Cheers, Wayne.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2011/2011-06-24a.asp NEW RULES FOR NEXT YEAR Same 29 occupations as before, except they are limiting to 500 per NOC (with maximum 10,000) - so half the number of FSW1 as 2010-2011! The good news is that with even less intake for...

Hi all, Yesterday and today my wife and I attended a CIIP (Canadian Immigrant Integration Program) course in London. For those that are unaware, in certain countries this is available and is completely FREE. You can apply to attend a course once you get to the medical request stage of your visa...

Hi, just thought I'd give a little feedback into the Canada expo myself and my wife went to yesterday in London. I must say overall we were quite disappointed. There were 2 Canada seminars both run by immigration lawyers The first talk was from Willis Brazolot & Co, and this talk was very well...

Hi, We've just learnt today that a Miranda Technologies, a Canadian company based in Montreal, has bought the UK broadcasting software company that I work for. This means I am technically now being employed by a Canadian employer although I continue to work here in the UK at the moment. We...

Just wondering if anyone knows how they count the 1000 NOC category limit and 20000 total limit for FSW. If they receive an application, does that applicant have their place in the 1000 limit reserved whilst their application is being processed? Or do they only count fully release PR cards? It...

Hi just a quick question for anyone from UK who submitted educational documents for FSW, what does the UK term as "post secondary?" Should we send GCSE/A-level results or is it only education after 18, such as diplomas etc? Wayne.

Hi, Just a quick question to see if anyone else has a similar situation - question 9 asks if you or spouse have a relative living in Canada who is citizen or permanent resident. I have a great uncle who lives on Vancouver Island (my grandfather's brother). So I should answer yes, but there is...

Hi, my apologies if this is something of an over-discussed topic! We are in the final stages of getting full application documents together, and our visa office will be London. There seems to be some major ambiguity on which items should be originals, which should be notarized copies and which...

Wonder if anyone has had experience of providing property as proof of funds? We have obtained some estate agent quotations for our house and are also getting an up to date mortgage statement. London VISA office have confirmed to us they still accept property valuation as proof of funds. We need...

Hi, Just a question regarding educational documents for FSW application. The instructions say to get all educational certificates from secondary education upwards. Around 15 years ago I took an Access Course to University (this is UK equivalent of GNVQ level III) prior to doing my degree. I...

Sorry if this is repeating questions already asked on here, but I keep reading conflicting reports and wanted to check for sure. We are in the process of trying to sort our proof of funds for Federal Skilled Worker application. We have approximately £14,000 (around $22,000 CAD at the current...

Hi, we're in the process of compiling our documents for Federal Skilled Worker application (and are looking at proof of settlement funds. It says the funds have to be net of debts. Do we have to provide proof of debts such as credit card statements to show how much debt we have as well as how...
