FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[ANANJAY]

Hi Forumities,

Just wanted to share my experience with all....
Yesterday, I happened to meet a immigration consultant, he was not knowing that I have already applied for the Canada PR...
I asked for info on the PR...
Consultant: U have not yet signed up with us how can I give info to u...
Me: I don't want any info I just trying to know the benefits that PR will give me...
Consultant: let me not be mean to u since we are talking face to face..

then he started asking me the education, Ielts etc...just to calculate the points and I kept on being as if I donno anything....He then says nobody will give u this info free of cost (and yes in India u find many agents charge u around 1500 Rs that is around $30 saying that they are checking our eligibility through a team of experts!!)....then the guy shows me the CIC page where there is updated info of NOC being filled and he says " I usually don't show this to anybody" and he says these many applications are received by them till date (12/07/2014), when v forumites know that the applications updated are of around 8th may....at last there was a big bomb that he threw on me saying the total cost is 300000 RS (around $6000) spread across 5 installments.....couple of months ago I was in dilemma weather to sign up with agent...but after following the forum became informed of the process and confidence grew in me to apply independently...no harm in appointing agents but one must be informed about the things so that the agents don't take u for a ride, and this forum is doing a excellent job about sharing info

Bottom line : this forum has been doing a very good job of keeping the applicants and newbies informed about the procedure along with every minute details....really hats off to all the forumities...specially the senior members...

+1 for you mate.....
Thnx for giving respect to this forum.....
This forum rocks......

Hi Everyone,

Just FYI, following is the response I received from CIC to my email. I sent email on June 2 and received a response on Thu, Jul 10, 2014 at 2:26 PM ET:

Good Afternoon:

Our office can make no guarantee that documentation submitted separate from the application will be matched to the application prior to the assessment or return of your application.

Thank you,

Hi for curiosity sake, what email address did you use in your communication with them regarding this? Thx

Heh! Mizo - you are a funny guy. "Already delivered!!!" LOL. Relax mate - we are all in the same boat. It has only two stops - one for SUCCESS and the other for FUTURE SUCCESS.

Going by the comments of seniors and moderators as well FSW 2013 statistics, 16th May delivery should get sorted by end of July.

I have a longer wait! My application reached them only on 11th July. My expectation of a response is in the last week of September.

Best wishes to you - please let us know the good news soon. May this coming Eid deliver a blessing for you in terms of a PER!

Regards,
Rick

+1 for your optimistic view. (It has only two stops - one for SUCCESS and the other for FUTURE SUCCESS)

hi Ashif,

Could you pls arrange a scanned copy of FSW 2014 filled application or suggest me from where i can get it for reference to fill my application...

 

[ANANJAY]

hey now i'm little bit worried. i have sent PCC india and USA with the application. Both PCC i got june 2013. i am really wonder whether i need to produce the PCC again, if the processing speed is as mentioned above.....

Dont worry, i posted this to encourage guys to have patience , as far as your case is concerned cic clearly states that pcc should not be older than 3 mnths( and generally pcc are valid for a year only) but this will never effect your file..local vo will ask for pcc itself whenevr required...you dont need to worry about the time frame....

Hi, Brother are you a dentist? And was this a full-time PdD program that you were enrolled in (did it take more than 5 hours of your time on a day to day basis?)? Which country did you do your PhD in? The answer to these questions might help to suggest alternatives.

Adding up more than one job to obtain even the first year of experience is not alright. It should be one complete and continuous year paid full-time experience or a part-time equivalent.

My fear is hopefully you are not trying to force-fit your case, because one thinks of 'concealing' facts or twisting it when the truth by itself is not sufficient. Normally, if the case is strong, one will have several documents to support / prove their case.

As per the CIC website it says:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=393&t=6

Can I count part-time work toward the work experience requirement?

You can count part-time work toward the work experience requirement, as long as you were not a full-time student at the time.

However, you must have gained the equivalent amount of experience as someone who worked full-time for at least one year (1560 hours)

Another CIC link on work experience:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp

B) Minimum requirements

Work experience

If your application is eligible to be processed, we will then assess it to see if your work experience, as described above, is valid.

Your work experience must be:
•at least one year (1560 hours), full-time or an equal amount in part-time,
•paid work (volunteer work, unpaid internships, etc. do not count),
•in the same occupation, and
•within the last 10 years,
•at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 edition of the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC)

A question for you, as you say "since all PhD researchers have to supervise undergraduates and to perform the job of a lecturer on a part time basis." Now was this paid work?

I can't seem to recall / find where it said on CIC site that while studying part-time the work has to be paid and for continuous one year full-time (or part-time equivalent) so the person is earning just like someone doing the same job full-time would.

Request to respond to the above questions. Cheers!

Please, experienced forum members,
I need your advice regarding a special case of my fsw application,
Actually, I want to apply under NOC 4011 '' University Lecturer". my faculty gave me a detalied experience letter including most of the required information that is relevant to the duties of that NOC. However, an important part of my experience came while I was doing my PhD research in the same faculty, and that is normal in my country since all PhD researchers have to supervise undergraduates and to perform the job of a lecturer on a part time basis. As a result, my work contract mentioned my title as "a resident in oral medicine speciality, or a specialist dentist", and not stating clearly that I worked as a lecturer. Anyway, I have other work contracts mentioning my job as a lecturer, but those do not sum up to a total of one year.
I fear if I submit all work contracts with the reference letters, CIC officer my consider them as a contradictory evidence of my work experience and dismiss them all out of hand.
Can I send refrence letter without work contract?
Any enlightment on this issue will be highly appreciated.
Best regrds

Hi ,

I have two below queries which I anticipate someone can clarify.

I have applied student visa 2 yrs. back which got rejected but I remember I did misrepresentation unknowingly which I came to know just now.
Does it affect my FSW application this year since it has already crossed 2 yrs. from the date I submitted my student visa application? I read somewhere that one is ineligible to apply till 2 yrs. in case of misrepresentation.

My FSW package dispatched on 25th of June 2014 with the generic form' July 2014' written on the foot note. However, I noticed later on that they have corrected the date on the form. Can you answer when did they change the date of foot note?

Do I need to feel safe on these circumstances?

[Sternchen30890]

Quick question:

in order to get 15 point for work experience. Do you need 6+ years work experience in one NOC (the one you apply under ) or in general?

Thanks!!!!

Hi all,


I'm new to this forum, I have sent my application from India and it was received at CIC on 23rd June, NOC:2173.

I have a query here: do I need to provide the income tax return file details, in future? Does the New Delhi VO asks for such proofs?
