***URGENT**** NEED ADVISE ON APPLYING FOR FSW FROM WITHIN CANADA

[Nikki30588]

Hi All,

I'm currently working in Canada in a skilled B position at a bank. I have 3 years of work experience in position 1112 (Financial and investment analysts) in India. I have a bachelor's degree from India and a Canadian post graduate certificate in Financial Planning. I am on a post graduate work permit (open work permit) and it expires on July 2014. I want to apply for my PR under the FSW category. Unfortunately I'm currently not eligible to apply under CEC because I don't have 1 year Canadian work experience. I have a couple of questions on applying for FSW from within Canada. Can someone please advise?

1. Can I apply for FSW from within Canada?
2. Can I apply with an open work permit? I have a full time job offer and I'm currently a full time/permanent employee at the bank.
3. How long does it take for CIC to issue an approval? I understand that after an approval has been issued I can apply for a bridge work permit.
4. Do I have to submit an ECA report? I already have a Canadian post graduate certificate.
5. Do I have to submit a police verification certificate? I'm already in Canada and I'm working here. If so, is it recommended to submit it while applying or after applying?

Much appreciate your advise!

It's extremely likely the cap for NOC 1112 has already been reached. However given your options are limited, I suppose there's no harm in trying.
