EXPRESS ENTRY IS NOW LIVE/ACTIVE

benik:


hi, is there any need for anyone under the fswp 2014 who has received PER to apply under the EE?

solomonwis:


No one can say for sure,not even people who work directly with CIC. All you can do is WAIT. As you wait,you might want to give Express Entry a try.

Saskatchewan will be accepting applications for provincial nomination (a key selection determining factor in the new immigration system,EE)from January 2nd,2015. Once you gain assurance that you merit a PER under FSW Class,then nomination will not be a challenge as long as your occupation is listed in the"Occupations in Demand" of the province.

Pls now that the cap update has been removed , for those of us that applied in December how do we know if we met the caps for our Noc

Demiyike:
Ok what about the visa office cause on a forum I saw comments that people were given visa offices that were not what they choose and for us that filled the New generic form and the option of choosing our visa office was not there .Do you think we would be taken to visa offices that have less work load

damkollins:
In addition to the SINP that is currently ongoing ,the Novia Scotia province nomination scheme is out too....the instructions are almost the same with FSWP with little difference in the eligible NOC professions which is 29 for Novia Scotia.
Please go through the instructions manual below especially for those that have all documents ready but could not send for FSWP .
Please note that CLB 7 for IELTS still stands here (minimum of 6 in each of the 4 tests) and you also need minimum of 67 points.

Solomonwis already advised that applicants should weight options of preferred provincial to apply since you need to be careful as the provinces normally share information .
Other than limited professions here ,i feel comfortable with NSNP to SINP but i think it's relative to individual applicants.
Cheers

This is really surprising. Lady Guinivere, you have a lot of spine to have been this patient even when others have gone much further. Really patience is the game but i doff my hat for you still. By the way, what does KAS stand for?
Solomonwis, Damkollins could this delay be attributed to "background checks"? Kindly elucidate.

Please kindly Note for the SINP if your settlement fund has not been in your a/c 3 months before applying,your application will be rejected

Highlyfavoured3:

Hi, pls where did you get this info from?
I hope this does not apply to fsw 2014, cos my fund was not in my acct for 3 months?

damkollins:

Please check page 25 of 27 of the Novia Scotia instruction manual link i sent earlier with reference to bank certification letter from your bank.
This was not specified in the FSWP instruction manual so you are cool with it.
Cheers.
