NOC, or international student

[maple]

When your NOC is on the list with 5 years experience, and at the same time you have been residing legally in Canada for 4 years as an international student, under which classification the IO processes your application?

probably FSW 3 but you should write a letter to say that you want to be processed as FSW with canadian experience.

Does anybody know if there is a priority difference between FSW1 and FSW3? Maybe it doesn't matter. If there is a priority difference, I would like to think they'd place you in the higher priority one if you qualify for both.

It might be a little faster if processed under FSW3.

I actually fall under the two that is why I am confused and have no idea which category the IO is processing my application, and I do not know if one category is given the priority more than the other, will the officer process my application under that category? I have no idea.

They will check whether you fall under any one of the the ministrial instructions (the three categories).

The procedure depends on the documents and information which you submit with your initial application specifically in their (document checklist).

Have a deep look at the document checklist to see what they state clearly in point number (8) and (9):

Point number (8) Literally, additional documents (to be submitted only by applicants in category 2), so if you check box number 8, they will know that you have chosen category 2.

Point number (9) Literally, additional documents (to be submitted only by applicants in category 3), so if you check box number 9, they will know that you have chosen category 3.

According to your document checklist they will process your application.
