4. What will I do first?
5. I'm planning to take IELTS but what is the best way to send my application before taking the IELTS or after I received the result of IELTS examination?
6. Do I need to send the IELTS result or I can proceed my application even without IELTS?

If you have 67 points as well as qualifications as a welder, ie apprenticeship you are eligible to apply under FSW 1 Completion of a three-year apprenticeship program or A combination of over three years of work experience in the trade and some college or industry courses in welding is usually required to be eligible for trade certification.

4. What will I do first?
5. I'm planning to take IELTS but what is the best way to send my application before taking the IELTS or after I received the result of IELTS examination?

As long as you take the IELTS within 1 year of submitting the application, that will be fine.

See above

Hi

PMM, are you sure its one year of submitting the application. They give you 120 days to send in all the documents after the Sydney part of the process.
You can take the IELTS up to 1 year before submitting the application or 1 year after sending the application. but if you get a "120" day letter and haven't taken the IELTS you obviously would have to take it within that time period. Note a lot of people are applying under FSW 2/3 and the 1 year would apply to them.

Noel, I'm a welder also from Manila and also planning of applying for the Federal skilled class. I see that you have 3 years of welding experience, be sure to check that if you would want to work and stay in Alberta, you have to be certified and take the exams there and the requirements for that is you have apprentiship training and/or at least 4 1/2 years of work experience to be able to be certified and be able to work in Alberta. So my advise is study if you really want to land in Alberta or go to other provinces that does not have a regulation for welders.

Peeps Good Day!! I'm still gathering my documents. Bro migwelder I'm applying as federal skilled worker for permanent resident is Canada.

1. Rupeshhari Do I have to send all the original documents?

2. How about statement of account and fixed account?

3. I'm just planning to take the IELTS but it stated there that if you think that you are qualify in English proficiency no need to take.
Do you think that being a Philippine National Red Cross Instructor is advantage?
Because my Boss write a letter that I'm qualified in English language and stated there that during discussion , and performing different
tasks I used English Language, in communicating giving instructions. Not only that he also stated that I'm handling different persons
with different positions. ex. doctors, nurses, account, engineering etc... Do you think they might consider that?

4. How about in payments?

5. Here in the Philippines is very hard to find Canadian dollars usually us dollars. So my sister who is Permanent resident in Canada offer
me a check so that she's the one who send it to CIC and I will send it my application to CIC? Would it be possible?

Rupeshhari thanks a lot bro!

One question I did not finish my college but I have 3 years experience as a welder the reason why I did not apply my application up to now is because I attend training as a welder eventhough I have experienced to be welder I decided to attend the training so that I can prove to them that I am competent and qualified as a welder but my training will end on march 2009.

Do you think that it is possible to apply my application in Sdyney eventhough I'm still on the training process as a welder here in the Philippines? You stated that everytime you want to explain everything you provide another paper it is possible in my case.

all my documents are ready except for the training certificate that I attending right now.


how about the funds?

The 2 points highlighted is the requirements for your case. You would have to prove that she is your sister. eg. through birth certificates you both would share the same parent on the birth certificate. This is from CIC website at this link. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E37048.pdf


"5. PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP IN CANADA (IF APPLICABLE)
• Proof of relationship to your close relative in Canada, such as birth, marriage or
adoption certificates.
• If your close relative is a permanent resident of Canada: photocopy of his or
her Record of Landing (IMM 1000), Confirmation of Permanent Residence or
Permanent Resident Card.

• If your close relative is a Canadian citizen: proof of Canadian citizenship, such
as a photocopy of pages of a Canadian passport or Canadian citizenship card."
