Thanks abba2174, i did my medicals on 17th Dec and hospital sent it to CHC on 23rd Dec.

Thanks Amit. I did my medicals on 14 Dec and hospital send it on 17 Dec. Not sure of the reason why the delay in the third line of ecas. When did you send the medicals done paper to NDVO?

just to correct you..FSW category applicants land in Quebec as well..only they cant work there

If you do not have a Certificat de Selection (CSQ) or proof of onward transportation out of Quebec, you will most likely have difficulties in "landing" there.

What I understand is that FSW applicant can land hassle free in any province except Quebec but soon after completing the landing formalities in other province can move immediately to Quebec and also work in Quebec.

I agree. FSW applicants can land any where except qubec. They can work and settle any where in canada.

My Enquiry: Hi, I have applied for Canadian Permanent Residency under the 2013 Federal Skilled Workers Category (NOC 2131) on o2 July 2013. First, I'd like to know the status of my application, as I have not received any update from London Office since being advised by CIO that my file has been transferred to London. Kindly advise date of receipt in London and the progress so far made in processing my application. Secondly, I'd like to know the minimum validity required for my passport at the time your office will be requiring same from me. This will enable me commence processing the renewal of my passport, as my current passport is only valid till July this year.

200 jobs in demand in Canada with no job offer requirement
By ATTY. HENRY MOYAL,Filipino ReporterDecember 17, 2013 7:35pm

Tags: OFWs in Canada
With global competition to attract the best and brightest of candidates, the Canadian province of Saskatchewan has just published a five-page list of in demand occupations in that province to attract high skilled applicants to immigrate with no job offer requirement.

Those who follow Canadian Immigration law will note that this new Saskatchewan program comes after the Canadian province of Quebec announced its own program giving priority to nurses a few months ago.

As a side note, the Canadian federal program only has a mere 24 occupations on its list.

The Saskatchewan program, however, is widespread and gives priority to applicants with experience in one of two hundred occupations.

As well, the Saskatchewan program gives credit for work experience within the last 10 years whereas Quebec only looks at one’s experience in the last five years.

The program is underway with intake to commence on Jan. 2, 2014.

While the Saskatchewan program is very attractive it seems that the quota allotted will not be as generous as the 20,000 allocated under Quebec’s regime.

Those who are interested are well advised to apply early as quota’s can be met quickly.

The following are some of the highlights under the newly announced Saskatchewan International Skilled Worker Category effective Dec. 2, 2013:

1. The program is for those who wish to immigrate to Canada (Saskatchewan) and settle in Canada as permanent residents. It is not a recruitment for jobs.

2. Applicants do not require an offer of employment or job offer.

3. Applicants who are 18-50 years old will be allotted points.

4. A completed university degree of at least three years of study is preferred.

5. Applicants do not require to have a relative living in Saskatchewan. However, those with close relatives will be awarded bonus points.

6. Applicants must have proficiency in the English language. French is not required and not relevant to Saskatchewan.

7. Must have a minimum of one year of work experience in a skilled position in the last 10 years as a minimum threshold to apply.

8. Work experience must be in one of two hundred listed occupations. A sample of the listed occupations are:

Managers (all)
Accountant and Auditors
Banking Managers
Administrative Officers
Financial Analysts
Secretaries
Engineers
Chemists
Architects
Land Surveyors
Mathematicians
Technicians and Technologists (all)
Estimators
Physicians
Dentists
Dieticians
Physiotherapists
Pharmacists
Optometrists
Veterinarians
Nurses
Dental Hygienists
Opticians
Midwives
Licensed Practical Nurses
Teachers and instructors
Social workers
Librarians
Insurance Agents
Supervisors and Contractors
Plumbers
Electricians
Carpenters

Hi Guys,

1- Processing Fee of newborn
2- Birth Certificate
3- Passport copy
4- Photographs
5- Family composition form of applicant and spouse

Anyone please let know what is the procedure to pay the processing fee of newborn?

The processing fees is 150 dollars in Canadian currencies. Payable to "the receiver General for canada".

All waiting May applicants needs motivation...+1 for u.

Hi bhFSW2174,

Hang in there. No doubt, we will hear the good news one fine morning. Try to take your mind off of this for a while. That might help to reset.

This wait is indeed unbearable. And there are many more challenges ahead of us which will test us even further. In these anxious moments lets us remind ourselves that if this doesn't kill us, it will only make us strong.

On a positive side, we do see that NDVO is working consistently. So, sooner or later each one of us will receive the golden email. Our friends from other VOs are still waiting for the first good news. Their anxiety is even more nerve wrecking. Like you do always, lets pray for them.

I want to thank you and all the admins for doing a great job of maintaining the spreadsheet and helping out those in need of suggestions. When you look back at these days, I can imagine how contended you would feel.
