PER Received. Spreadsheet updated.

NOC: 1123
Application Received Date: Aug 1, 2014
Fee cashing date (DD): Nov 13, 2014 (according to PER email)
PER Date: Nov 25, 2014

A few points to note:

1. In lieu for birth certificates (for my wife and me), we sent sworn affidavits. We did not have BC's or high school certificates with our parents names either.

2. I had 1+ year of experience in my eligible NOC. Other years of experience were in other NOC's (at skill levels A, 0 or 1) - which were not in the list of 50 eligible NOC's.

3. I did not hire a consultant or lawyer. I followed published CIC instructions as meticulously as I could.

4. I learned a few important points from this forum (especially related to substitute documentation for missing birth certificates). Instead of asking questions on the forum - I picked up the most important points by searching and reading older posts. We all can do our bit to reduce repetition / clutter by reading material that has already been posted - or by performing a simple search.

Good luck to all.

Dear All,

Is there anyone who has requested from CIC to execercise “Substituted Evaluation” for his application for FSWP because of having less than 67 points?

And what was the result?

It is a very important clause in CIC manual, if someone will share his experience about "Substitued Evaluation", it might benefit several candidates.

Regards,
George

The Canadian federal skilled worker program is geared to attracting skilled workers who are able to demonstrate an ability to become economically established in Canada. Under a points-based process, applicants are assessed under six factors and numerous sub factors which are designed to gauge, in theory, the likelihood of a candidate’s prospects of settlement in Canada.

It is readily acknowledged by the Canadian immigration authorities however that the points based assessment does not always accurately measure the likelihood of successful economic integration. Immigration officers are therefore afforded a wide discretionary authority to override the points’ assessment and exercise discretion to accept or refuse a candidate irrespective of the points awarded. The legal title under which this discretionary authority is exercised is called a substituted evaluation or exercising positive or negative substituted evaluation.

The Two Sides of Substituted Evaluation: Positive and Negative Discretion

Through this discretionary authority, a visa officer, after concluding that an applicant is likely to succeed economically in Canada, may admit the applicant regardless of the fact that the applicant received less than the required 67 point threshold currently in place. This is commonly referred to as exercising positive substituted evaluation.

Conversely, an immigration officer may also exercise negative discretion or negative substituted evaluation. As one might imagine, this can occur where the immigration officer believes that an applicant is not likely to successfully integrate into Canada even though the applicant may have received 67 or more points under the applicable selection criteria.

In the case of exercising negative discretion, an officer must provide sufficient opportunity for an applicant to respond to their intention to exercising substituted evaluation either through correspondence or through an interview. the officer must also obtain the written concurrence from another designated immigration officer.

In the period between 1997 and 2002, substituted evaluation was used in 2.3% of all cases of skilled worker applications. Of this figure, positive discretion was used an average of 16 times more often than negative discretion. However, this frequency and proportion between positive and negative discretion is not part of any public policy directive. That is to say, the government does not officially outline how its immigration officers around the world should proceed when using either form of substituted evaluation. This relationship of 16 times more positive cases than negative was not written in stone, and can very easily be reversed.

That said, substituted evaluation can be seen as a very wide discretionary power that can be calibrated differently and used to respond quickly to varying circumstances and developing issues within the scope of the skilled worker immigration program.

You just need one PCC for a country. PCC from Gujarat will work.

Sometimes it's better to become poorer for a while.

NOC 1111

Sept 09, 2014

hello good luck I'm also 9th september applicant. checking my phone for sms from bank every 5 minutes when did your cc get charged?

 

[drngopal]

Oh well, real Canada awaits

Hi Diplomatru,

Can you please elaborate on the real Canada awaits . should I expect some big shocks rather than what is expected. Since you are already there and I see your helping/guiding nature in the forum any insights will be helpful. To just give a brief about myself my family is well settled in my country. The only reason we are planning to come to Canada is for equal non discriminatory practices by the government and happy non competitive, non aggressive, peaceful, live-and-let-live people and good facilities/infrastructure for children's studies and health for all. Hope my expectations will not be shattered. Any advice from you will be great.

Thank you!

Gopal.
