2013 FSW applicants, information and queries

[canilangcd]

hi im new here i might be applying for FSW this year, here's my situation i hope everybody who has a knowledge will help me.

i have a cousin, uncle in saskatchewan and they have a business of auto repair shop, car sales (buy n sell), tire shop, money transfer. they ask me to get a training regarding their business thats why i take "auto mechanic" in TESDA (a training school given here in the philippine which issued a NCII or national compitency certificate for those who pass).

my question is,
i might be applying for FSW what are the things i have to do? what are the documents i need to prepare and ask from my cousin (ex. LMO right?) i saw on the other forum about LMO, RED SEAL etc. and how long this would take up? do i have to be on AEO to get a fast processing or LMO, (LMO and AEO are different right?)im also 30 years old and a college undergraduate, do CIC accept work experience for automechanic that are working only on those small time repair shop which philippines has a lot in every town and most of them are on-call or not a big company but some have business permit. would they accept this kind of work experience since we all know some skilled worker specially in the philippines are not working in a big factory or company. im hoping you can shed some light into this situation. and other 2013 applicants would share their story. thank you.

Hi Canilangcd....

I will also be applying in 2013.........I am NOT an expert.

However i have some questions, are u applying for the FSW Trades program , because that has been opened for application, the general federal skilled worker program does not start accepting applications until May of this year.

Have you sat the language tests such as IELTS...there are minimum grades that you must achieve in order to apply now.


Why not go to Canada on a work permit and work with your family or apply as a provincial applicant with the job offer from your family?
