Hi,
I am actively considering applying too but I want another window to open by month's end.Is Human resource management on the NOC list?Are you using an agent?


Human Resources Management is not on the present list of eligible occupations but by the end of this month a new list will be out. My hubby is actually the principal applicant But i am the one doing all the arrangements especially internet information. No agents at all. The cic website is self explanatory.

My worry is the validity of the IELTS certificate. Does anyone in the house know how this works. what is the latest time to apply based on ones IELTS CERTIFICATE VALIDITY. Genuine contribution will be highly apprecaited

gel03,
      Good for u,list u will wait approx 3 months or more to know if u hv made it.But i feel since dey debited your account,den your application will be accepted by God's grace, (i sent my application mid april 2011 and got a feed back mid July 2011)I got a reply from them 2days back.my application was not accepted based on the grounds dt the field i chose had alrdy reached a maximum on 1000 applicants as at April 2011(though wen i checked b4 sending my aplication,my field was still open). They also sent my draft(cad$ 550) back to me.
      So as it stands now,i will have to wait for plan B( usa lottry which comes out by 6pm today.I dont intnd to reapply for FSW, and Plan C (Canada arranged employment thru an agent who claimed dt my work permit is alrdy out last may),

@ Mikkyangel,
dat's really sad o. Pele. I am surprised they said the slot has been filled o,
Why don't you try again early next year? At least the cap they gave is for just this year, right?

@ gel03
Congrats o! Really happy for you. Can you please tell me under which profession you filed for your hubby?

I intend to try to get an arranged job in canada to facilitate mine but really don't know how easy it will be but will try sha. Can anyone please share anything on the possibility of getting a job in Canada and the way to go about it.
A friend (she is a nurse) said she's got a job and will be leaving within this month but I don't know if she was telling the truth or not cos I haven't been able to get thru to her, anyway, I am waiting your opinions

@op,thanks for starting this thread. I'm trying to apply for FSW. I initially wanted to apply next year but the agent I contacted says there's still space for my profession but may be filled by the end of this year. I'm yet to register for IELTS and d next available date is in Nov. I've gone thru the website and the whole process seems tedious,that's why I want to use an agent. Also,the issue of evidence of liquid cash needed in our account(abt 17000 canadian dollars) before visa issuance is giving me food for thought.
@gel03,what do you think and how can one work around this issue?

whatz ur occupation? have u registered for ielts yet? u dont need an agent at all. i can guide u with filling the forms. i packaged my hubby"s application myself with the help of the FSW instruction guide which can be downloaded from cic website and from various forums where people have shared their experience. as i write this message, my hubby's application has been sent from canada to accra for further processing. that is why i started this thread to help those in this category that visit nairaland. as for the liquid cash, u can get from friends to put in ur account first then after printing the statement, u return their monies back to them. so that while ur application will be under processing u can be putting the monies u will require for ur journey to canada together.

plsn can someone in the house tell me the total points to score in the IELTS EXAMS,the certificate expires after one yr. i am an intending applicant for the canadian skilled immigration programme,the processing of my documents will be 4yrs by jan 2012,i want to know when to take the exams and the minimum point to score.

ielts has a total band score of 9 so i will encourage u to score upto 7 atleast to increase your points for the skillked immigraation programme. how do u mean the processing of your documents will be 4yrs by jan2012? the result is now valid for two years. take the exam as soon as possible. just visit ielts website to see the next available date.

If you live outside North america then forget about the FSW Canada program. It will take you donkey years to be eligible to fill the MAIN form. What you all are filing is the preliminary form. The main one is so many pages long, contains a ton of information required such as police report, passport pages for your family including parents, transcripts e.t.c.

you dont even know what you are saying, have u visited cic website in recent times to see the latest processing time? for your information, my hubby"s application was received in canada on 28th june 2011. credit card debited on 15th july, got a positive eligibility review on 31st august and was received by our visa office which is accra few days ago for further processing. so what are u talking about?
