Greetings,
My spouse and I are both having sufficient education, work experience & language proficiency to apply as principal applicant in separate categories for New FSW program.
We both have already submitted our educational documents for ECA - just in case.
Now the question we are facing is that, can we both apply to have better chances of getting our application selected before caps fill up?
If so, can somebody please advise following queries?
1. Do we need to file separately as principal applicant and add the spouse as dependant to do this or can we specify this in our application package.
2. How to send the application packages? Shall we send separate application packages or we send them in single package?
3. The language proficiency documents are required for both applicants. The testing facility issues only one certificate per test person. In case, we need to file separately, can we refer each other’s application for providing these documents?
We will deeply appreciate your help.
Yes - both of you can apply.
1. You need to file separately as principal applicants and add the spouse as a dependent.
2. The applications should be sent separately.
3. You must provide original IELTS results in each application package if you want to receive points for IELTS. If you cannot obtain a second set of original IELTS results then you should forget about filing two separate applications, pick just one of you to apply as the principal applicant and submit just one application for one NOC.
are u sure that both husband & wife can apply separately as principal applicant in different categories??
but we cannot get another copy of IELTS result...
Would you please share your experience? I and my spouse are also planning to submit our applications same
way you had queried for. Your input will be valuable for us.
Does any of you know of cases in the past where both spouses applied under different categories? Me and husband are also interested in applying separately under different occupations. One of us will withdraw if we both fall within the cap.
