2014 FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER (Openning on May 1, 2014)

[felixtae]

@ wael.ot I need some clarification:

I am planning to apply for FSW 2014. I have couple of questions.
1. I am working as a civil engineer for 2+ years. While I was studying I was working as a teaching assistant and a research assistant both jobs were in civil engineering department and both jobs were paid. I would like to ask you if I can use those experiences as well so I can get more points?
2. I studied in the USA from 2004 to 2012. Now I am working in Nepal. How do I get the police report from USA? Also, can I submit the police report after I submit my application? My wife did he bachelor from India and how do I get a police report from India?
My details:

IELTS: L:8.5, W:6.5, R:7.0, S:7.5 overall: 7.5
ECA done masters
Wife's sister in Canada PR
Work Experience: 2+ years without TA and RA and internships
Age: <30

I calculated 72 points.. Am I correct?


There is no announcement if CIC will stay use FSWP score system or they will change it., but if they don't change it, your points will be as follow:
1. English 20 points
2. Education 21 points
3. Age 12 points
4. Experience 11 points
5. Adaptability 5 points for relative, and you may earn another 5 if your spouse get IELTS (L4.5, R3.5, W4, S4)
Total score 69 without spouse IELTS
you are eligible without it

===============
Why you have calculated only 20 points for IELTS. I think he has 23 points. Isn't it?

If you logged enough points without your TA/RA experience, you might well skip it. All 3 of my post graduate schools will not issue a letter, and, only one would issue a letter with my income on it. Most US schools consider TA/RA part of the learning process and not an actual "job". You should first contact your university to check whether they will issue a job reference letter for you.

For US police clearance, you have to download the fingerprint form from the FBI website, take it to an authority in your country for fingerprint and be stamped. Then, mail it together with your payment and application form to the FBI office for processing. When I applied for it last year, it took 3 months for me to get it. And, I have to fly back to US for the fingerprinting since I am unable to get it done in where I live and back in my home country.

Also for Education with 4 years Bachelors and a masters I counted the points to 23. But he has only 21. I am debating if I should put information from my wife's sister

 

[itexpert]

What kind of information you want to prepare for your wife's sister?

Hi All,

I wish to apply for Canada immigration under FSW program under categories - 2173 or 2174.

My IELTS exam date is on 7th of June. So I would be able to apply at the June month end the earliest.

Can anyone predict the cap filling time for NOC 2173 and 2174 ?

Also, from where can I check the current cap status? I do have the link of CIC site, but they are not updating it even on weekly basis I guess.

Please suggest...

Here's the cap report coming from CIC website:
<I cannot post links on this forum, just look for: immigrate/skilled/complete-applications.asp page on CIC>
But for me it's useless because it is not real-time, I did monitor this on FSW 2013, I submitted my application first week of July, showing that cap is 80% filled and I was hopeful to get in, but unfortunately I did not.

Based on last year's FSW, the cap for 2174 was one of the first that got the cap reached (300 cap that time). It was already filled 3rd week of May of 2013, according to some applicants here. So you can compute from there.

 

[vanishiwa]

Not mandatory. I know people who applied in 2013 who didn't use the UCI they got in 2012 and their 2013 applications still sailed through.

Thanks a lot. I did not put UCI on my application.

I just sent everything today.

 

[wael.ot]

Officer will write UCI by himslef, as when he will try to create new one, he will discover that you already have old one

 

[question123409]

If you can get HR letter or notice of assessment for her or her spouse. It will be very good

I have a pay slip from her husband. But does not mention her name. What is notice of assessment? If I can ask

 

[wael.ot]

Notice of assessment is a Canadian document which indicates all annual income, taxes, insurance ... etc. It will definitely prove their income. Any Canadian one knows it very well. On the other hand, two Canadian passports will be enough proof for their relation.

Visit capping update from the link below.
This is not from CIC but from an independent
well known consultant.This is just a picture
of how hot the professions are.

Use your personal judgement on the capping please.

All the best.
