I am also planning to apply under NOC 4011 - University lecturer. I have gathered all the required documents along with proof of funds, English test and ECA reports. However the ECA report I received mentions my MSc degree is equivalent in Canada is 4 years BSc degree!!

I have completed my BSc (3 Years), B.Ed (1 Year) and MSc (2 Years) with distinction grades in all the exams from Indian Unviversity. I also have 6 years experience in the same field.

My query is - Am I still eligible to apply under FSW even my ECA report shows my MSc degree is equivalent as Canadian BSc degree?? Please let me know your responses on urgent basis as I have very little time remaining to send my documents. Your help is much appreciated.

TO HARRY:

(1) I don't think FSW allows you have two primary codes within each application. That does not prevent you, for example, to file two separate applications (with two separate sets of documents and separate fees).

(2) I am uncertain if you can have joined NOCs within one letter. Best to separate them into two letters.

(3) Better to have as many reference letters as you need, as FSW officers may reject one or more of your reference letters.

TO sachinleo80:

(4) I think FSW is a point system. Even if you do not have master's degree if your bachelar's degree, along with your other criteria, adds up to 67. You will pass. Notice that ECA assessment is final, and officers will base their assessment only on ECA for overseas degree.
