    Mehry I sent mine on 15 June, I just received an email from CIC on 13 Nov, they said they sent it back on 24 Sept and cap was full. I haven't received anything in the post yet, maybe this week or next as its been almost 2 months since they posted it. I assume yours should be on its way, or it...

    Hi All I am not on the spreadsheet but I just wanted to let you know that my application is on its way back. I received this email from CIC last night, 12th Nov, informing me that it was sent back on 24th Sept. I sent my application on 15th June for NOC 2174. I haven't received my package yet...

    srip17: sudobh referred to a link on Canada visa.com. It just asks for your name, DOB, occupation etc. I dont know if its an official EOI, maybe just a means to get you registered on the database so that employers can search for you. I dont see anything for the EOI application page on the CIC...

    True, as I said earlier, Immigration is like a gamble or lottory, you never know what you'll get or when for that matter.. But thanks again to you and rezas for the info about EOI, I never really knew how it worked exactly, until now. Its something I am def going to try now.

    Jobs in hand? what about those that don't have a job offer, they cant apply? seems a bit unfair and as I said, cherry picking. I have seen lots of developer jobs on job boards, which I can apply for, but there are lots of local candidates that qualify so what chance do I have in getting a job...

    Very useful info about the EOI, although it sounds like CIC will cherry pick immigrants, than allow a cap as we currently have. I am a bit skeptical that the EOI will be fair, but its an option and something I am quite keen to take next year, I take a chance. Only thing is that CIC doesn't...

    Also, for jobs, try workopolis.com, a popular job board in canada (like monster). I think one user here got a job offer from this site.

    There is a web site called british expat.com, you can get lots of info about immigrating to Oz or NZ, read peoples stories on how they managed it, ask questions, etc. Although its mainly british users, there are other non british that use it, and you can still use the site to post questions or...

    I don't think you need to, it says on the check list: Language test must not be older than 2 years upon date of receipt at CIO.. Since you have PER and submitted it to CIO before the 2 years, then you should be fine. But as the others said, only re-take if VO requests it.

    Sorry to hear the bad news. When did you receive this email? I strongly believe applications are bring sent back with ship/land than air mail as its cheaper option for cic. If so this takes about 4 weeks so you should have your pack by early October, next week maybe

    I am thinking that CIC are sending back applications by ship/land than air mail, since its taking a few weeks and its cheaper. I know for sure that regular air mail takes 5-7 days between UK-Canada. What you think? Am I right?

    There's still space don't worry too much, you could be charged this week or early next week. I'm sure July apps still have a chance, in fact I'm quite surprised that 2147 didn't increase as much, from 210 to 246, only 36 in a week? Admins, didn't one of you do a prediction a few days back? Did...

    AP_LOVELIFE: Yes I can understand the frustration. I didnt know that IT was included in the fsw until April this year (I hadnt kept tabs on CIC or anything) and it wasn't until I got the IELTS results, WES, employers letters etc, until early June (I had a delay with WES which was my fault...

    Thanks fsw2174 for the info. I personally prefer to go as fsw visa than student visa, so I can work full time. You're right, 2014 will come soon before you know it, so lets see what happens..Immigration is almost like a gamble, you never know what will happen.

    Ap_lovelife: I want to leave the UK too, so I am also thinking of going the student route. But fsw2174 pointed out that we still may have a chance next year with this EOI process. I am going to wait until next year before I make haste decisions or at least until I get my application back!! :o
