Hi everyone,

This is my plan so if you can share your thoughts/knowledge/opinion that would be great, and thanks a million in advance!

I intend to ultimately obtain a FSW3

So this is my plan........

1. Obtain 1 year of skilled work experience in Australia. Paralegal/Law clerk (4211)
2. Apply for a working holiday visa here in Australia. The wait is 6 weeks, I assume, therefore not so bad.
3. Arrive in Canada. The WHV is valid for 2 years.
4. Live and work in any job, skilled or unskilled, for 1 year then apply for a FSW3.
5. I have 1 year remaining to stay in Canada since the WHV is only valid for 2 years. The FSW3 is currently being processed by officials.

My question is: How long will it take to process the FSW3? If over 1 year then I would have to return back to Australia. I heard that it usually takes 3 years to process a FSW for an Australian, although it is for Australians applying FROM Australia. In this case....I am an Australian applying FROM Canada. Or could I extend my WHV longer until my FSW3 has been approved?
