Pre 26th June applicants under NOC 2113

[jay10]

Just thought that I would be nice to network with fellow applicants that applied under NOC Code 2113. As we already know, this is a regulated profession and will therefore mean that we will need a P.Geo or P.Eng designation before we can practice.

I'm thinking of starting the process of having my qualification and experience evaluated (hopefully my status will change to 'in progress' before I can commence- just to be on a safe side LOL) before landing in order to speed up the chances of practicing ASAP in Canada.



Can we all network and hopefully share our area of specializations as well............If any one has more usefull information that may benefit other fellows, please share .................


Thanks,

Applied under 2113-Geologist ( Related Job title-Environmental Geologist)

Hi Jay , At last i am happy to see sum1 with NOC 2113. AS i also come under the same code. I applied in March 2010. got first AOR and 2nd AOR as well in sept. But I m worried.As after applying , NOC 2113 code is removed from the list. So the fast track list is changed and I guess" now after the removal noc 2113 is not a fast track-processed profession. I got the acknowlgemnt stating this catagory taked 8-12 months. I m praying for the best. wish u the best as well.

do explain what does this means " my qualification and experience evaluated" u r evaluating it from which institution?
thanks regards

Illusion,

I am glad to have found a fellow!!! Wow, it looks like we both applied in the same month. I sent my initial application to CIO in march, 1st AOR was in middle of May, full docs. was sent out in early september, no 2nd AOR yet.

What is your visa office (mine is London).

From my understanding, and having spoken to some consultants, they VO will still stick to the inital 12months processing timeline that they are committed to for all pre-26th June applicants. In some cases, processing could stretch to not more than 15months, unless verification of documents becomes very cumbersome.

If you look at the cic website you will see that some professions are regulated and therefore requires intending practioners to get registered and acquire the required designation (in our case P.Geo or PEng). The requirements varies in all provinces----so will depend on where you intend to settle.

As adviced by others, it's better to begin the process whilst outside of Canada in order to reduce the time taken when you arrive in the country. Rough estimate according to some websites is 6-months.

Could you please share your full timeline including VO, date full docs was submitted and dates of AORs.

Wishing you all the best. Where r you located?

Great to see more geologist/geoscientist on board the Canada bound flight. As siad earlier, if we plan ourselves very well, we could find life much easier when we arrive, especially if we could get the professional registration issue sorted out whilst outside of Canada.
