Canadian Foreign Credential Assessment Services

Canadian assessment of foreign credentials is an important element of immigrant integration into the Canadian workforce.
The Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC) (http://www.cicic.ca/) is a central source of information about the services and organizations around Canada that can help with the accreditation of internationally-acquired skills. In addition, Citizenship and Immigration Canada have established a Foreign Credential Referral Office.

No, not until CIC announces which organizations have been chosen.

I am getting ready with my application under FSWP. Wanted to know when would CIC start accepting application for 2013? How would I know that they have started accepting application?

Please let me know.

No, the changes in the policies are to be announced early 2013 .. There may be a change in NOC and for NOC 0 there may be a major change in requirements as far it is understood. However things remain unclear till the final news comes out....
