1122 Post Application ON July 2011 Lets Share

[sango]

Hell everyone!!

I am new to this forum. I am applying on my own for NOC 1122 this year and lil worried as this is my first time. Is anyone else applying on their own (i.e not going thru a consultant)? I don't want to miss the cap so was wondering what would be the right time to send my package from India? any thoughts??

Consultants are bloody crooks, unscrupulous bunch of liars. Just read the insructions carefully and you will do all the job without any specialist help. Ask all your questions in this forumI missed the cap last year and as soon as I got my docs in January, I applied for Quebec,, using my TEF results

Guys,

I applied last year to the 1122, but was too late since my app was received in the 3rd of august, plus i did a mistake by using my academic IELTS report.

I am gonna re apply this year but I have a problem that my IELTS results will be ready in 13th July so my app will be there my 15 July. What do u think?

I am affraid It will be to late. You must target the first week of July. With the tons of NOC 1122 applications returned, I am affraid the cap will be reache within 2 days, ie July 2. Just my view point. Why not give Quebec a try?

Guys, I've applied last year but got my application back because cap was already reached.

There are so may talks about NOC 1122 changing on the list, but I don't know what to do. Should I prepare my application now and send it off Jon une 30th or wait for the new list? I'm afraid to I wait till July 1st because my application usually takes 5 work days to arrive, by that time definitely cap would be reached!

Any suggestions?

Guys, is anyone sending their application from India? pls tell me which courier service is reliable..wanna make sure the documents reach on time. Should I use a local courier service or DHL/Blue dart?
Also, am planing to write one pager current job responsiblities.Is that sufficient? also getting my work ex letters but they won't have detailed roles and responsibilities.

On 1st july 2012 is sunday and on 2nd july 2012 is holiday for Canada day. So from 3rd July 2012 CIC will accept applications. And this time there is only point 1 % chance for every one to make cap.

Last year in 5 days cap reached. This time in one day cap reached my friend.

All the best.

I agree... its going to be pretty crazy this time.. I strongly feel CIC should either.. and we have very less chance.. its like a race .. whose courier reaches first!

I strongly feel CIC should radically change its processes to either have -
- Have some lottery system (similar to US for H1) where all applications received say till 31st july will be elegible for the draw or lots. The current rule would lead to long lines in front of CIC office (of people living closer or willing to travel) and those outside
- OR atleast accept first 500 'eligible' applications (and not first 500 applications even if many of them are not eligible late) so that the ineligible applications are not chosen over eligible applications
- OR any other reasonable process which ensures that whose application gets accepted doesnt depend on what courier service we chose or what time and day we finally sent the application.
- AND update the website on time. Last year I (and many others) started the application process much after the cap was actually filled, all because they just were too busy or lazy to update their website. All effort gone waste!!

I also noticed the change in name and exclusion of definitions from 1122. My guess (rather hope) is that they would still include 1122 category as probebly they got a lot of marketing type profiles last time and they were rather looking for operational/strategic consultants!

Lets see what future holds.. hoping for the best and gud luck to all!!

Kanika.. you should definitely use DHL/Blue dart - they also have priority services where they confirm the date of delivery and charge premium rates.. you may want to find out that as well!

Thank you! I am planning to call DHL today to find out various options. My company is not ready to jot down job responsibilities on reference letter as I work for a big 4 where nothing is defined. Did anyone face a similar issue? what should be done if they cannot document the responsbilities? should I write them on an additional page?

Also, is NOC 1122 going to be a part of MI-5 this year? any updates on that?

No updates on 1122 (as far as I know).. guess we're all waiting

On the job responsibilities, I know what you mean - I'm not sure what's the next best option if you dont get it. But try to get in touch with your manager(s) and show them the requirements, or get hold of the company letterhead, have a draft with broadly your key responsibilities and get it signed by your manager if not HR.

I am applying for the skilled workers catg 1122 n I wanted to ask whether 2012 year the immigration is asking for authenticating the educational documents from this authority called zest. My agent through whom Im applying for is saying all this...I Just wanted to confirm if this was true or is the daam agency trying to cook up stories or not.

No need to do this.

Firstly I want to congratulate everyone who already succeded in their quest for a better life and wish good luck for those who want to try (again) this July.
I admit I did not had time to read (YET !) all your posts as I discovered this forum just yesterday :'(

I have a question for those who are from Romania or the western Romania and succedeed last year :alexchristi, stranger4ever maybe, or anyone else who has the time to advise me on what courier did you use to sent the application package ? I am considering TNT(3 days they say) or DHL (426 ron , 3 days?!? ) ; do you have some advise on this matter?

And another issue I have : I have been working since 2003 after I graduated in small IT firms belonging to my brother and me& my husband. I have an economic university diploma (Internationational Transactions ) and on the payrolls I was an 'economist' or 'general manager' , most of the time with minimum wage and 8 hours and for about an year 2 hours/day. The thing is that I can make myself some letter with my duties for every firm that I worked in , since now I am the administrator of all ;D but I am not sure if that 'looks' good on my application ... I am thinking to send some copies from legal papers (cartea de munca, adeverinta de vechime -in romanian ) to prove my experience and legal employment. What to ypu think about this? How detailed or 'fancy' should the letters linked to the professional experience be ?

I think that being an economist ont the managerial positions and most of the time administrator too , eventhough I did not run these firms all by myself, shoud qualify me for the 1122 code with no problems, but I have no ideea of how detailed should I be regarding this subject

And another question if you can : is it usefull / advisable to include my husband's IELTS of 5.5 in my aplication? I have an 8 overall .

Many thanx in advance ! :-*

Oh, and another question even though I think your answer would be 'not' : should I post this question also in the thread 'Re: July 01, 2011 FSW Applicants_MI 3' ? I saw some 'good' activity there also and I am afraid my question will be missed by some :-[
