Sadly,it looks like you are out of the FSWP race.

It's confusing though that your relative in Canada who works with CIC is giving you a false hope/assurance. You will need to gain reasonable assurance that your relative is giving you the information correctly.

As at the last check, the maximum number of 25,000 cap for 2014 FSWP has been reached.

Hello Guys

Just wanted to update the House. I received my invitation for Medicals today and instructions on how to pay the Payment of Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). I was pretty shocked because i was not expecting it to be ready this quickly. My FSWP timeline is as follows:

1. Oct 15, 2014 Submitted my FSWP application
2. Jan 19, 2015 Received my PER
3. Mar 3, 2015 Invitation for Medicals and payment of Permanent Residence Fee

Unfortunately, you can not claim additional points with your relatives in Canada anymore with the launching of Express Entry.

Here, the higher your score points, the higher your chances of being selected. So, it will be beneficial if you can encourage/persuade your spouse to go for both language test and ECA.

If you however, decide to go for EE alone (without your spouse's ECA and IELTS), you might have to approach the provinces and prospective employers for nomination/sponsorship.

Hi Solomon,

I posted this earlier this week. I'll appreciate if you have some guidance to offer pls.:

Hi All,

Quick question please:

In the "Additional Family Information" forms, I inadvertently made some typo errors in the DOB of two of my wife's siblings and completely omitted the details of one of my siblings.f

From what I've observed, the types of updated or additional info requested by AVO varies from person to person.

Having said this, would you advice I use the CSE form from AVO website to inform them about these omissions and request the necessary changes in advance?

NOC - 2241
App. Received - Dec. 5, 2014
DD - Jan. 29, 2015
PER - Feb. 26, 2015

Will appreciate any useful feedback.

You definitely still need to apply for job and likely seek pnp nomination, your ECA and IELTS are just requirements to be able to enter the Express Entry pool.

Kindly note that one of the reasons for EE is so employers can get foreigners they want to hire to come to Canada faster than it used to be. After you have registered your profile on EE(which is based on the fact that you must have passed your IELTS with at least 6 in all the segments and your ECA), you will be given a job seeker code which you will use in registering on jobbank. This jobbank profile is linked to your EE profile, which can encourage employers to hire you as they know you can land in Canada within six months.

Use WES for your evaluation, ICAS takes longer from what I've read. Your school is to forward your transcripts to them while you send photocopy of your certificate but, I advise you get the transcript by hand send it through fast courier, you can include photocopies of your cert as well, waiting for school to send it will be long thing. The fee for WES seems to vary but for a first degree, it can be 300dollars(I'm assuming you will indicate on WES that they should use courier for you)
