FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[LittleOwl]

LittleOwl,

I have been thinking about this for some time now.
1. The number and type of applicants will not change because of the rule (not for the first year atleast as the new rules sink in)
2. What will change is the FIFO ("attempted" - might not have been really the norm) process.
3. From Pt 1 & 2 - everyone with a certain profile (clean records, good medicals, experience et. al.) was getting through earlier but there is still ample opportunity IF one only applies.

I dont have reason to believe its tougher. Try the points calculator Beta that they have put up on CanadaVisa.com. I was glad to see I got 434 points of 600. Moving to Canada is no longer ALL about applying in time - its all about preparation and profile-fits. Really, nothing much has actually changed.

Regards,
Rick

Rick, I already calculated my points for EE, I have 457. Not sure how this would amount in comparison to people who already live and work in Canada - they have an advantage for sure, I think they will be the only ones who score over 500, because of the Canadian experience and good English scores (for obvious reason; besides, they can opt for other test instead of IELTS - I heard the other one is easier). I don't think I'm going to apply though...

I think the new system will become more difficult for those with poor IELTS scores. Anyway, I wonder what impact (if any) will EE have on our local VOs. Processing speed-wise, I mean. Of course, I am hoping to receive my medicals next week, but you can never be sure in this process. My point was, what if EE applicants will be prioritized over FSW 2014 applicants in local VOs.

457 is NICE! Yes, compared to people living in Canada already, even that is a disadvantage but why do you think those people are not applying today? Why would they suddenly start applying with EE? In fact those in Canada, are currently applying and they are getting their visa's on preference. (They deserve it for sure). IF your meds are next week, then you should not be unduly worried, that should take its course. I did see the VO's speed up the process to MR and then COPR so you can bet we will get through quicker than expected. Best of Luck! We will make it this year but it didnt hurt to look at the EE process

PS: Average PER to MR time is now 48 days for all VO's put together in the SS.

Rick

Thanks, Rick! Well, the third week of December seems more probable, but I'm keeping my hopes up for the end of next week ;D

Dear All,

If the financial statement is one month old at the time of sending the application, will it be acceptable as a proof of fund or it has to be latest? For example I shall send my application on 8th of Dec,2014 whereas my account statement is dated 8th nov,2014?

regards,
George

I was given this email address to send my receipt: CPCO-Cost-recovery.CTDO-Recouvrement-frais @ cic.gc.ca, and I sent my receipt through this email.
But got an auto reply from CPCO-Cost-recovery @ cic.gc.ca. That's not a problem at all.
