No need to worry. If you have an NOC outside priority occupation, you will have this.


Ministerial Instructions (MI3): Federal Skilled Workers, Immigrant Investor Program, Entrepreneurs
Effective July 1, 2011, the third set of Ministerial Instructions (MI3) further limited the intake of new FSW applications by lowering the global cap to 10,000, with sub-caps of 500 for each of the 29 priority occupations. It introduced an annual cap of 700 for new applications made under the federal Immigrant Investor Program, and also included a temporary moratorium on Entrepreneur applications while that program undergoes review.

How does M13 factor into the application timelines? does it mean some NOCs are/were previously subject to caps?

@legalfalcon Hi, Need advice on the below:

1. I'm PNP Nominated, AOR Aug 23
2. Work permit support letter provided by the province
3. The Employer wanted me to be there asap on WP
4. Already have the visitor visa

Question 1. - Since the PR application is in process & I didn't get the Bio request yet, so can I book the appointment for biometric without the BIL to visit Canada? or should I wait for couple of days for the BIL? I have already paid the bio fees with the application.

Question 2. - About the Medical Insurance, Should I buy this from India upfront or I have to get this after landing to Canada?

Thank You.

@legalfalcon : need you kind help.

I have been trying to get proof for CIC that i have a bro-in-law who is a permanent resident in canada and currently resides in Toronto. For this, he sent me current bank statements, mobile phone postpaid bills and NOA which is the annual tax return statement. I am a little confused if the vis officer will accept these as they have specifically requested for residential lease mortgage document (both these he doesn't hold) and/or utility bills (which he has provided).

Please clarify if the provided documents will be sufficient? CIC has provided 7 days to submit the requested documents.

Thank you

Hi @legalfalcon.. For extra-pulmonary tb, do you have any idea what to expect in medical tests? I have completed 9 months of course and have note from doctor saying that.. Dr did not ask for any other test after 9 months.
So will just the note from doctor be enough? Do i need to get any thing else done like MRI?
Also what tests can medical panel ask me to undergo?

TB is not a ground for medical inadmissibility as long as it can be cured. Usually for applicants why have TB, a medicine course is given and after the course is done, they will undergo tests to ensure that TB has been cured. That is it.

Usually for TB doctors can do the skin test, blood work (Inferon) test etc. It will depend on your individual circumstances.

Hi everyone!

I am going to show my salary (only)account for POF and going to get a big chunk of money transferred from my dad's account to this account (with proper Gift Deed documents).

So the split up of POF - Salary account balance(10%) + Gift Deed amount transferred to the salary account from dad's account(80%)+ Provident fund in India(10%)

Now, if I am going to submit my 6 months bank statement, it will show that >60% of my salary is going to my dad's account every month and the left money I use for expenses and other things. The left balance now in savings account is only 10% of POF amount as indicated above.

The following are my questions :

1 . Will these transactions (showing >60% of salary transferred to dad's account every month) raise suspicions on my financial standing and can this go to ADR or RR? Considering my salary is 20% of the required POF amount which gets credited every month, will it raise a suspicion that I could have saved from my salary but why am i getting gift deed from dad? My account does not have any loan or lien and the bank letter states that I have no debts,credit cards or loans .

2. Bank letter as per format given by IRCC(with avg 6 months balance showing as 10% of POF) , Notarized gift deed document, scanned copy of cheque used for transaction, gift deed transaction receipt, Provident fund related documents are the documents I am going to provide. Is bank statement necessary in this case ? If so, is it mandatory to provide bank statement for 6months?

Please advise. @legalfalcon

You are over confusing.

IF you show gift deed, that funds from the gift meets the 6 month average balance requirement for those funds only. Only the funds that you are showing that are sitting in your account, you have to show that they meet the 6 months average balance by showing the bank statements.

@legalfalcon Hello,

In FSW program, what would be the criteria for work experience point calculation in scenarios like below:

1. Candidate with two different Skill Levels (A & B) have total of 10 years of experience i.e. 6 years in skill level A and 4 years in skill level B; which is the Primary occupation. How many points be awarded i.e 10 or 13?

2. Candidate have 10 years of experience in SAME skill levels i.e. skill level B; but with two different NOCs (e.g. 2181 & 2283). How many points be awarded in this case. 15 points or less?

Please elaborate on this!

IRCC states:

The applicant must have accumulated at least one year of continuous full-time (or the equivalent in part-time) paid work experience in the occupation identified in their application for permanent residence as their primary occupation. In calculating this period of work experience, the occupation must be listed in skill type 0 (Managerial occupations), skill level A (Professional occupations) or skill level B (Technical occupations and skilled trades) of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2016 [R75(2)(a)].

The identified occupation is your primary occupation and you can chose any work ex as your primary NoC as long as the work ex:

• have occurred within the ten years preceding the date of their application for permanent residence; and
• not be in an occupation that has been designated as a restricted occupation.

Also you can add different NOCs to claim wok ex points.

Hello friends yesterday I saw a rejection on some page after 7months of aor and the reason for the rejection was eligibility not met through education as person mentioned 2 and more degrees on profile and he has done BA(3years) + MA(2 years) and according to WES his status was 4 years bachelors and 1 year graduation....
Now in my case I have also mentioned 2 and more degrees and have 8th May AOR
My actual qualification is Bachelor in Arts (3years)+ Post graduate diploma in computer application- PGDCA (1year) + MSC IT(1year)
WES Report: Bachelor's degree (four years) and two postgraduate diplomas (one year)
So I want to ask will I get a refusal? If yes then can i have to start the process now to ECA from another agency and keep everything ready and reapply again if I got refusal ? You can find my WES report on: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LtTkf8d0WHYsl7b_fPzp9NvwTm4It_6j/view

Use this to understand your ECA:

Hi legalfalcon & forum members,

I called IRCC to follow up on the status of my application.
Eligibility: In progress,
Medical: Passed,
Criminality: Passed,
Security: cancelled.

What does cancelled status for security means?
Your experience/guidance would be really helpful.

Cancelled can be for any reasons. But usually it is for information sharing which shows cancelled due to a system error. But you need not worry. The security only starts after your eligibility is marked as passed conclusively.

Does AINP EE targets only those currently working in the targeted occupation, or is it fine too if someone has previous but recent experience in the targeted NOC?

Also, if someone declines LoI form AINP once, does he get barred from future AINP draws, or will he still be considered?

TIA!

@legalfalcon

See https://www.alberta.ca/ainp-selection-criteria.aspx

If you decline NOI, you can create a new profile and re-enter the pool and you will be considered again.

Hi @legalfalcon

This is a serious query on behalf of my friend.

He has been working in the same company for 7 years starting from 2012 April to 2019. When he started he was a trainee and used to do simple jobs. In 2013 October he got promoted and started doing job which is aligned with his NOC. He continued the job till 2019.

In the express entry profile under his work history he put the starting date for his respective job post for which he wants to claim points to be October 2013. Now can he show his previous designations/trainee post under personal history in the same company? Or should he decline his Ita and correct the starting date to be 2012?

Pls advice sir. This is super urgent for him.

I believe I have answered your questions on another thread.

Kindly help us with your thoughts.


I am a Nov 2017 FSW PR applicant. I got married 2018 August and added my spouse to the application. Then on November 2018 they asked for my re medical as the first one was expired.

Feb 2019 IRCC asked for my spouse documents except for Medical. We took an upfront medical for my spouse and uploaded all the documents by April 2019. May 2019 IRCC again asked for spouse medical. We raised a CSE and got an acknowledgement from them saying that they received the upfront medical and moved our application to local VO for us NDVO.

After that no update till August so we sent out a mail to NDVO asking for the status and they responded last week saying Spouse medical is not yet received. We then thought that they were trying to search for spouse medical through IME number and since we took upfront medical its tagged to UMI number. We have sent out a detailed mail stating these findings last week itself and waiting for a reply from NDVO.

At the same time we also approached an MP as the application is nearing almost 2 years and got a reply from IRCC as below :

*******
The application was received at the Centralized Intake office on November 9, 2017.
The New Delhi visa office is currently reviewing the application and documents submitted to determine if the applicant and their family members (if applicable) meet the eligibility requirements under the class for which they have applied.
the eligibility requirements assessment was finalized on February 28, 2018.
The medical examination results are on file and valid until November 7, 2019 for the principal applicant.
The criminality verifications are currently valid for the applicant(s).
The security verifications are currently valid for the applicant(s).
If the application is approved:
the applicant and their family members (if applicable) will need to send their passport(s) to the Canadian visa office to obtain the permanent resident visa, and
the officer will issue the Confirmation of Permanent Residence document which the applicant and their family members (if applicable) will present at the port of entry in order to be granted the status of permanent resident of Canada.
If the application is refused:
the officer will send the applicant a refusal letter including instructions to obtain a refund of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee, if it was already paid.
Following a thorough review of the file, we have concluded that further clarification regarding the medical examination results for the dependent spouse on file is needed.

********
I still think there is a confusion of my spouse Medical as its not linked to IME number which shouldn't be an issue as upfront medicals are also valid.

Please let me know if you guys have any thoughts.

Thanks

If you have provided them with the upfront medical sheet, there should be no problem. Also, if you have sent the CSE and explained, then you just have to wait.

Thanks a lot for the reply Sir. They have confirmed in the application on the receipt of Medical.

Hello! Please help me as I am fretting over what could be a petty thing. While creating EE profile, I answered that I have an uncle Canada. However, later on, I didn't mention in my submitted profile that I have a relative in Canada reason being I didn't want to go into the hassle of arranging proofs of relationship after ITA.

Can you please advise if the visa officer can also check FSW eligibility answers while reviewing application? The information given while checking FSW eligibility will contradict with my profile?
