FSW 2014

[Matarani]

hi,

My application is received on 17th Sep for 2147 NOC. Going through the forum , looks like I am out of the race for this year. So need to keep myself ready in advance for next year and hence come up with below queries:

1) For 2014, when CIC will announce NOC list ?
2) From when they will start accepting the application ? Will the cycle be same : 3 May till 30 April...

If some one in forum, answers these, it may help others to gear up for next year... Also, I have send DD with my application, if it gets rejected, how long it will take to receive it back , as DD again has validity and need to get cancel, to refund the money.. Sad

I dont know why I am so -ve and losing hope

Thanks !

Hello Matarani,

I'm afraid it is too late. The current FSWP 2013 ends in April 2014 so news will probably start coming with the start of new year ... I am guessing after Christmas. Now CIC plans to implement the Expression of Interest system for the PR from 2014 on the similar lines to Australia and Newzealand. Keep visiting the CIC website and this forum for updates.

Oh by the way Quebec has also opened doors for Computer engineers. If you can get the right scores in French ... great chances this year too. Check the following link for that:

Best of luck

hi, we're on the same boat. my application was received on Aug 20, NOC 2174.

no updates received from CIC as well. Anyway, i think what we can only do is to wait. When are they going to return the application due to cap reached, I also have no idea.

All the best to all of us.

Nope. The new rules effective 1 august 2013 do not necessitate a job offer. But you need a good level in French.

Do you think NOC 1112 for finance graduates will be dropped next year? Because it is the one in most demand.

Hello Matarani

The EOI system is expected to be implemented by end of 2014 or early 2015. Read the following article by CIC. At present this is all we have:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/enewsletter/2012/12/interest.asp

I would also recommend you to consider immigration to Australia.

Hello ssamjos ,

In my humble opinion, there is lots of good hope for finance graduate. According to recent news, Canada is nearing an imminent acute shortage of skilled labour. With Ontario and Alberta being most popular destination for new immigrants, other provinces are hard hit by deficit in availability of skilled labour. The upcoming EOI system is being implemented keeping view this problem. So keep an eye on the CIC news.

Best of luck

Hello guys,

I'm sorry you lost the train for FSW 2013, but I am sure that you will be on the one this year, if FSW 2014 will open.
I started to make my file for FSW2013 but when I saw it was too late, I've droped it. Now I am thinking if I should do my ECA, to be sure I will be in the first 300 if the program will reopen.

The main reason why I've choose Canada is beacuse is close to US and is a bigger market. Otherwise, Australia sounds better specially in therms of weather. I am not such a big fan of winter.

I am an SAP Consultant, NOC 2171. I have experience one year as a mechanical engineer, and for FSW I want to apply as Mechanical Engineer, NOC 2132.

I want to try for Australia, but I am thinking that maby I won't be able to find a job there.

If you have some thoughts, please advice.

Thanks,

Hello David_C

NO worries if you missed FSW2013. If you have already prepared your file for FSW2013 they you are surely going to have a head start for the next FSW. So keep your spirits high and do keep an eye on the provincial nomination programs of Canada.

While I do agree to your reasoning regarding Canada's proximity to US but the far east isnt a small market either... think about Malaysia, South Korea, Hong Kong. Anyway I would recommend you to apply to Australia also... you never know where you may find luck. So do not let go of an opportunity.

Best of luck

Except there probably isn't going to be a FSW in 2014, as Canada is going to an expression of interest in 2015.

HI,
I am Yogesh Bhatia and want to apply in FSW 2014. I have Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering and working as a Software Engineer in a telecom field for the past 20 months. To achieve 67 points, i need to wait for 4 more months because then i will get two more points. Does anyone has any idea that this years application will start from May or it can be later than May ? If it is later than May then i have chances to apply before the cap reaches. One more question, does my education (Electronics and Communication) supports my working field (Software Engineering) ?

There will most likely be no FSW program this year.
