FSW
NOC Code......
1123
As per eligibility mentioned on the website, Minimum requirements to qualify for FSW are:
  • Skilled work experience - be at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)
  • Language ability - meet the minimum score required in all 4 abilities
  • Education - an Educational Credential Assessment

Here is what I've submitted
Skilled work experience - 1 Year of work experience in Canada & 7 years in India under Same NOC (11202)
Language ability - RL 6 Each and SW 6.5 Each
Education - ECA from CES as Masters

I am pretty much getting 76 points out of 100 but when i submitted application only CEC is showing as Met, all other including FSW showing Not met, Why is that?
I have seen people have met status on both CEC and FSW. What am I missing here?


TIA,

FSW requires funds.
I understand now, Can I edit the profile and add funds now. If yes later after getting ITA under this stream bank statements would be enough or I need to show actual funds in the Canadian bank account?

You can show that you have the funds for the number of people in your family. See Express Entry for requirements.

SO to answer my own question, FSW require to show POF from even inside Canada. And you can not show paystubs/ 6 months bank statements unless you have Employer job offer or LMIA.

If you are invited to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program or Federal Skilled Trades Program, you will need to show that you meet the settlement funds requirement unless you:

  • are currently authorized to work in Canada, and
  • have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada.
So you need to have work permit and LMIA.
