Canadian Immigration for IT employees

[kushalpuri]

Hi Friends,

I am in US for H1-B visa and planning to apply for Canadian immigration. I have total of 11 years of experience in Computers (Website development & QA Lead).

I have given the evaluation test and results are not on positive side.

Kindly suggest the process or other alternate way to process this.

Thanks for your help !

Hi

I am also in similar situation , I am here in US on H4 and we are are planning to apply for FSW program 2014. I have assessed my score and it seems I am eligible. I'll be starting my process with a consultant in Canada but as this program has been out since May 2014 and there is a cap of 25000 with individual cap of 1000 I am not sure about making it in the cap ?

Without knowing about your NOC, how can you judge yourself that you would be out of cap.

Do you have Ielts ready with at least 6 in all modules?
Do you have wes report ready four your educational qualification?

If you don't have any of these then you are not eligible to apply.

First get these ready and think about the cap. You don't need consultant for these imho

Hi

I have received my IELTS results and ECA , now I am looking for reference letter , I had worked with different companies in past 7 years as Software Engineer on dataware housing especially with IBM Cognos , SSRS and MSTR reporting. I am looking to apply under 2173 software engineer category but not sure what to get in reference letter and do I need it from all my employees ?

I have all my appointment letters and reliving letters from all organizations do I still need reference letters ?

Please post here if you get some updates over it

Thanks

How about you read the document checklist. That would be a good start.

The only way you will get points for your experience is if you provide employer reference letters that describe your job duties performed while working for them. I'm guessing your appointment and relieving letters don't contain this information, at least not at a sufficient level of detail to convince CIC that your duties match the NOC you state on your form. It can be any NOC at skill type 0 or skill level A or B but you need a minimum of 1 year under the NOC under which you are applying.

You should at least attempt to get letters from all employers in the past 10 years, but if you can't get some, just explain why. You only get points if you convince CIC that your duties match.

thanks futur_canadian appreciate your inputs.

I have worked with 4 different compnies in past , one of which seems to have been shut down therefore will not be able to get any reference from them. Will that gonna effect ?

As we just need to have 1 yr of relevant experience it should not matter if I can get refernces from rest of my employees. right?

 

[viralgupta]

you just have counted some points for the work experience you are showing.
Yes minimum experience needed is 1 year.

be mindful of the fact that first criterion they check is whether you can make the minimum
points. if not the designated officer does not look further.

--thanks

 

[MYNK]

Yes , I have over 7 years of experience so even if they don't consider my 1 yr of experience (i.e. with company which had been shut doen) I still make 6 years of experince and points will still be above 67.

There is another question regarding proof of funds - will our (me and my wife) bank statement be sufficient for proofo of funds ?
Do I need to maintain a minimum balance after submission of our bank statement ?

You and your spouse can show their joint or individual accounts for POF - no issues. You have to show the balance on the date of submission of your app and on date in the future as and when requested by the VO. You can continue to make normal transactions off of your ac but its recommended to avoid withdrawal and/or deposits of large sums of money.
