Thank you fir this clarification. The same thing has been confusing me. I have been checking crs which is the basis of ITA. Please at what point does FSW come in? Is it after you have been invited to apply ? Algbenguze:
1. With respect to the application process, working in a bank doesn't give u an edge. In fact, I think banks are even more rigid with things like reference letters which play a key part in your application. As long as the one-man business is genuine, it's okay. A bank may give a more impressive employment profile though.
Regarding 67/100 FSW thing. It works like this:
For a skilled worker applying to Canada, there are 2 point-based assessment grids every candidate is measured against.
First, the FSW points grid, which determines eligibility. To be eligible, you need minimum of 67 points out of 100 to qualify. It's here that 6 yrs gives max points for work experience.
Second, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) grid which is mainly for the purpose of ranking the already eligible candidates in the Express Entry pool. The highest ranked candidates, based on CRS points, get invited from the pool in periodic draws using a cut-off point. It's here that 3yrs gives max points for work experience outside Canada.
So in essence, eligibility is key but not every eligible candidate will receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence- Only those who make the cut off.
I hope it's clear now. |
