Future Canadians,

I just hope that what you indicated in your proof of funds is yours and yours alone, not borrowed from relatives or friends. You will certainly need that money to adjust on a different lifestyle.

For a family of four, these are your estimated expenses (all in CAD)

- Rent = roughly 1,200 depending on the city you live in
- Food = 800-1000
- Electricity = 60
- Heat = maybe free if you are renting a condo
- Daycare expenses (if your kids are below 12) = 1000
- Transportation expenses (I am assuming you are using the train or bus) = 200
-Cable, phone, internet bundle = 200

So, that is about CAD 3660 a month. Let's just say that you refused to do odd jobs because of pride (I didn't go to Canada to be a freaking housecleaner or dishwasher! I have an MBA ! ) and because you can't stomach the thought that this is so humiliating. Three months in and you have spent around CAD 10,000 with no job in sight commensurate to your experience. What are you going to do? Enroll in Bridging programs that are just Government lip service and in reality, Canadian employers refuse to recognize and give a damn.

What I am saying is that there is a mismatch on what Canada requires pertaining to foreign skilled workers compared to the requirements of the Canadian employers. Heck, these employers don't even know the difference between FSW1 and FSW2, does not know the real value of IELTS etc. In their eyes, you are an immigrant and all your credentials don't mean a thing because you didn't get it in Canuck country. I pray that at least half of what you expect here in Canada will come to fruition. Goodluck mates.
Don't forget the flight.... 1.500$ x 4 persons = 6.000 CAD
This adds 2.000CAD per month, so the first three months cost around 16.000CAD

So unpleasant and confusing situation.

Yesterday I got reply, that I do not qualify for an Electrician - NOC 7241 ?!, instead I have applied under NOC 1122. I rechecked all my documents that have sent them in order to be sure that it is not my mistake. EVERYWHERE is states NOC 1122 that I apply for. My job duties and education are under NOC 1122. My documents are under NOC 1122, and they reply me about NOC 7241.

I am so confused about this situation. Tried to reply their e-mail, but it is blocked of course. Sent an enquiry to standard e-mail for application status enquiries, as well as on my VO e-mail. Today I am going to sent CIO a fax and will try their hot line.
I have some months work experience as Electrician - almost 10 years ago, which of course, I mention when filling application forms, but did not stated it in my NOC preferences.
I also made enquiry about my apllication status after 36 days of receive, stating NOC 1122 and they replied with "...initial processing..."

I do not know what else could I do.

Please, if anyone have heard about other cases with wrong assessed NOC share the experience.

Thank god there is only 2 of you :)

Q. Why do psychiatrists give their patients shock treatment?
A. To prepare them for the bill.


& another one:)

Man goes to a psychiatrist; psychiatrist sez, "You're crazy!"
Man sez, "I want a second opinion!"

Psychiatrist sez,
"OK, yer ugly, too!"


I can do this all night you guys...
