157 of 25,000 FSW Applications Received as of May 4, 2014

Finally, an updated from Citizenship and Immigration Canada!  This CIC page was last modified June 6, 2014 and the posted information about applications received was as of May 4, 2014.  Please note that the number of complete federal skilled worker applications received is just an estimate - not a real-time tally.

So far, it looks like Financial and Investment Analysts (NOC 1112) will be the first to reach the cap with 43 complete applications received.

As of May 1, 2014, there is an overall cap of 25,500 for new federal skilled worker applications. This includes a cap of 500 applications from PhD students. There are also sub-caps of 1,000 for each of the 50 eligible occupations.

FSW Final Procedures to be Announced 1st Half of 2013?

If we are to use Immigration Minister's twitter message as the basis, the FSW final guidelines will be announed in the first half of 2013. That's between January to June 2013. Here's a screen shot of Mr. Kenny's twitter message.

But this is not consistent with the Nov 2, 2012 news release from Citizesnhip and Immigration Canada. According to the news release, the final regulatory changes will be available in the Canada Gazette later this year.

It begs the questions, which is which?

Either way, you must be ready at all times.

55,300 persons Traget for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) Category in 2013

Citizenship and Immigration Canada targets to admit 55,300 persons in the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category in 2013 according this latest news release.  It could translate to 20,000 new applications to be accepted for the year 2013 for this program. The final regulatory changes will be available in the Canada Gazette later this year.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) announced today it will admit up to 55,300 persons in the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category in 2013. Combined with previous actions taken to manage the backlog, this means by the end of 2013 we will be able to process new applications as they are received – a “just in time” system – and aim to process them in less than a year, instead of up to eight years under the old FSW program. In addition, CIC expects to clear the FSW applications received to date by the end of 2014, three years earlier than originally expected.

This will allow for the introduction of an Expression of Interest (EOI) system to be put in place for FSW and possibly other economic immigration streams. CIC is moving to a just-in-time system that recruits people with the right skills to meet Canada’s labour market needs, fast tracks their applications, and gets them working in a period of months, instead of years. [Source]

It looks like that by 2015, Canada's immigration program would be just like the Australia's immigration program, which uses Expression of Interest (EOI) system.

This may be good and bad depending in your circumstances. That is why if you are eligible today, you should waste no time. Apply now!

Q&A: Is it guaranteed that All NOCs 0, A and B will be eligible for the new Federal Skilled Worker Program?

Is it guaranteed that All NOCs 0, A and B will be eligible for the new Federal Skilled Worker Program?

This is a common question I'm receiving from interested applicants who are planning to file an application for permanent residence in Canada.  They are asking this question after I posted this: More Occupations to Open for Canada's Skilled Worker Program | Get Ready for January 2013 .

The short answer is NO.  But let me explain...

There is no official announcement yet from Citizenship and Immigration Canada confirming the final details of New Federal Skilled Worker Program, the New FSW Points System and the IELTS Test Module Required. The information I'm sharing here is based on the statements of Canada's Immigration Minister, Jason Kenney.

You can read more about Jason Kenney from his official website: http://www.jasonkenney.com.  You will find in his website the Twitter Account (@kenneyjason) he is using.

Now, here's a couple of twitter messages from his account:

On the eligible occupations for the new Federal Skilled Worker Program.

"The new Skilled Worker Program will be limited to applicants in NOCs 0, A, & B, but won't be limited to particular occupations." [August 18, 2012]

On the required IELTS Test Module.

"We will continue to use the IELTS General Training Module for language assessments under the new Skilled Worker Program." [September 6, 2012] 

So there.  Now, it is up to you to decide how to make use of this information. This may still change, of course.  So you have two options: Prepare now or wait for the official announcement. 

Remember, however, that there is a limit on the number of applications to be accepted.  If you will not prepare as early as now, there is a great chance that you will never make it. If you are really determined to live and work in Canada to give your family a better quality of life, you must do everything in your power to make it happen.

Twitter Message from Jason Kenney | 2013 FSW Porgram

Few days ago, Canada's Immigration Minister replied to a twitter question about the list of occupations for the new Federal Skilled Worker program.  Here's a screen shot of his answer: 

It looks like there will be no "priority list" to be expected.  According to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, the new Skilled Worker Program will be limited to applicants in NOCs 0, A & B, but won't be limited to particular occupations.  

This is an interesting development.  It's like back to pre-February 27, 2008, only that there will definitely be a limit on the number of applications to be accepted.   If the limit will only be say, 10,000 applications across all NOC's, it will most likely be filled within a week or two.  The more reason you should start preparing your documents now!

MI-5: Temporary pause on new Federal Skilled Worker applications

This is just a quick post to let you know that the Ministerial Instruction 5 (MI-5) is already out!

Minister Kenney Hits the Reset Button: Sets the Foundation for New, Faster, More Flexible Immigration System

According to this recent media release from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, effective July 1st, 2012, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will place a temporary pause on new applications to the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and federal Immigrant Investor Program (IIP).

New applications will be accepted in January 2013 in time with the implementation of the proposed changes in the points system and other improvements in Canada's immigration program.

This is good news for those who are not yet ready!  This will buy applicants more time in getting good IELTS Exam result, documents preparation and credentials assessment.

July 2012 Priority Occupations | Federal Skilled Workers Program

The list of July 2012 Priority Occupations will soon be made available. Are you ready?

On or before July 1, 2012, there will be a new Ministerial Instruction to identify the new priority occupations to be accepted for processing under the Federal Skilled Workers program. You have two options here. Start preparing your documents now or wait until the July 2012 priority occupations is made available.

Will it be the same list of 29 in-demand occupations? Or will it be the 38 high demand occupations again? If your occupation is not in both of the lists, is there a chance your occupation will be included now?

Let us help you answer your questions! Come and see us this coming June 16, 2012 and attend our Immigrant Visa Party and Seminar.

Refund up to $130 million FSW Processng Fees, Proposed.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of this bad news for FSW applicants filed before February 27, 2008. It looks like Citizenship and Immigration Canada is serious is wiping out the FSW backlog.

The Government of Canada is proposing to return applications and refund up to $130 million in fees paid by certain federal skilled worker applicants who applied under previous criteria established prior to February 27, 2008.

Can they really do this? I'm smelling a lawsuit left and right.

Solution to FSW Backlog?

In his speech at the Economic Club of Canada Event last week, The Honourable Jason Kenney, P.C., M.P. Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism mentioned three ways they are exploring to reduce the immigrationn (FSW) backlog.

There's good news and there's a not so good news.

The good news

We are exploring ways to reduce the backlog further. For example, we are launching a pilot project that will allow provinces and territories to “mine the backlog” – in other words, to review the applications in the backlog and nominate those applicants they think their economies need now. We are also informing some applicants stuck in the federal skilled workers backlog about possible opportunities under the Provincial Nominee Program.

This is already in place. Read FSW Pilot Program (FSW Backlog Reduction)

We are also considering ways to obtain consent from applicants in the backlog to be considered directly by Canadian employers for employment. With job offers in hand, applicants would see their applications processed on a priority basis.

This is another good news.

And now the not so good news.

New Zealand and Australia – countries with immigration systems similar to ours – have already gone even further and introduced changes to their systems that make them nimbler, more flexible and more reflective of modern labour-market realities than what came before.

New Zealand legislated an end to its backlog in 2003 and put in place a system where prospective applicants can be selected from a pool made up of all persons who have applied. Rather than wasting time and energy processing old applications, their resources can now be put towards actively matching the best qualified applicants to current economic needs.

This could mean, if implemented, those whose applications were filed before February 27, 2008 will all be returned unprocessed.

UNFAIR! You may shout out in protest. Imagine if you have been waiting since 2004 only be told 8 years after that they will not process your application. To say it is unfair is an understatement. Then again, this is just a proposal and may or may not be implemented.

Here are some news articles about this controversial issue:

Legislating away immigration backlog an option, Kenney declares - The Globe and Mail

Kenney considers legislating backlog away - The Vancouver Sun

Immigration backlog could be erased, Kenney suggests - CBCNews

On Proposed Changes to Canada's FSW Points Sytem

About a year ago, Citizenship ang Immigration Canada started a consulation regarding the Proposed Changes to Canada's FSW Points System. There is a great chance that changes in the Points System will be implemented this coming July 2012.



What are the proposed changes to Canada's FSW Points System?

Requiring a minimum level of language proficiency
The maximum points awarded for proficiency in the first official language may be increased from 16 to 20, and a minimum language requirements, depending on the immigrant’s occupational skill level will be established. Simply put, it will give Tradespeople a better chance. The current points system is prohibitive against Filipino welders, who of course do not talk to welding rods in English.

If you want to get a better chance, try to get a better IELTS Score.

Placing greater emphasis on younger workers
Under the current points system, a maximum of 10 points is awarded to applicants within the 21-49 years old brachet. The proposal is to award a maximum of 12 points until age 35, with diminishing points awarded until age 49. No age points would be awarded after age 50.

Making the program more accessible to skilled tradespeople
The proposal is to reduce the number of years of education required to claim points for a trade or other non-university credential. This change would help improve access for skilled tradespeople, technicians and apprentices who have valid post-secondary qualifications but not the required number of years of study. There are many skilled and experienced Filipino welders but won't qualify under the current points system due to Education factor. Not many welders have a University degree.

Redirecting points from work experience to other factors
The proposal is to reduce the total number of points that could be awarded for work experience from 21 to 15.

Reducing the potential for fraudulent job offers
The proposed changes would establish clearer criteria for assessing the genuineness of a job offer, and could require employers to sign a document attesting to their intention to hire the immigrant. They could also include restrictions for employers who don’t comply with this intention.

So there. Again, these are just the proposed changes and not necessarily the new points system to be implemented.

National Occupation Classification (NOC) 2011 Version

If you are planning to apply for permanent residence in Canada under the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) program, you must consider the changes in Canada's National Occupation Classification.

On January 31, 2012, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) and Statistics Canada replaced the 2006 edition of the National Occupation Classification (NOC) with a 2011 version.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada will assess FSW applications received at the Centralized Intake Office after January 31, 2012 according to the new NOC system.

As of this writing, there still 20 occupations open (cap not reached yet) and some of these were affected by the changes in NOC. I will post a summary of these changes later.

Ministerial Instruction 5 (MI-5) Priority Occupations

On or before July 1, 2012, a new Ministerial Instruction is expected to be issued by Canada's Immigration Minister. This Ministerial Instruction 5 (MI-5) will provide details about the priority occupations to be processed under the Federal Skilled Worker program.



What are the new in-demand occupations or priority occupations under MI-5?

Considering that there is a limit on the number of applications to be accepted annualy under the FSW program, many applicants actually want to know the list in advance. For the past few days, I am receiving that kind of question quite often.

The list of priority occupations is supposedly based on the labor market demand in Canada. But unfortuantely, it is in the Immigration Minister's power to decide which is which. They gave him that kind of power back in 2008.

You see, Ministerial Instruction 2 identified 29 high demand occupations and after a year, the same list was issued as priority occupations in Ministerial Instruction 3. What does that mean? There is no change in Canada's labor market situation afetr a year? Maybe.

Anyway, for Ministerial Instruction 5, the sentiment is that a greater number of occupations will be opened. Good news might really be on the way, you just have to be ready.

MI-3 Notice of Assessment from CIO

We have just received today the first batch of Assessment Notice from Centralized Intake Office (CIO) for Federal Skilled Worker program applicants filed under Ministerial Instructions (MI-3).

Notice of Assessments are being sent by CIO via email. We have so far received 8 assessment notice for MI-3 application filed on July 1 and 2, less than 3 months from the time their applications were sent to CIO.

The following are the breakdown of 8 applications with assessment notice based on job classification:

2 - Nurses
1 - Contractors and Supervisors, Carpentry Trades
1 - Industrial Electricians
1 - Architects
1 - Specialist Physicians
1 - Medical Radiation Technologists
1 - Pharmacists

Check your spam folder to make sure you're not missing CIO's email. It would be best if you will create an email filter to make sure CIO's email won't go to spam folder.

Registered Nurse as Licensed Practical Nurse?

Yesterday, I posted an update from Centralized Intake Office (CIO) that the cap for Registered Nurses has been reached already. And on that blog post, I discussed some options that Registered Nurses may do. Here's another option: Apply as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).

But are Registered Nurses eligible to apply as Licensed Practical Nurse?

Of course, yes. Registered Nurses are highly qualified LPNs!

But wait. In order for a Registered Nurse to qualify as LPN, he/she must have at least one year experience as LPN.

Licensed practical nurses provide nursing care usually under the direction of medical practitioners, registered nurses or other health team members. They are employed in hospitals, nursing homes, extended care facilities, rehabilitation centres, doctors' offices, clinics, companies, private homes and community health centres. Operating room technicians are included in this unit group.

Licensed practical nurses perform some or all of the following duties:

Provide nursing services, within defined scope of practice, to patients based on patient assessment and care planning procedures

Perform nursing interventions such as taking vital signs, applying aseptic techniques including sterile dressing, ensuring infection control, monitoring nutritional intake and conducting specimen collection

Administer medication and observe and document therapeutic effects

Provide pre-operative and post-operative personal and comfort care

Monitor established respiratory therapy and intravenous therapy

Monitor patients' progress, evaluate effectiveness of nursing interventions and consult with appropriate members of healthcare team

Provide safety and health education to individuals and their families.

Operating room technicians perform some or all of the following duties:

Prepare patients for surgery by washing, shaving and sterilizing the patients' operative areas

Assist in surgery by laying out instruments, setting up equipment, assisting surgical teams with gowns and gloves and passing instruments to surgeons

Clean and sterilize the operating room and instruments.

These duties are actually included in the functions of most nurses here in the Philippines. I really think that some Filipino nurses may qualify as LPN depending on how they would present their job description.

Under MI-3, only a maximum of 500 applications per occupation will be received by Centralized Intake Office (CIO) for processing. Once the cap has been reached, CIO can only accept applications for affected occupation from people with an arranged employment.

MI-3 Cap for NOC 1122 has been reached! | CIO Update as of August 22, 2011

Just like under Ministerial Instruction 2 (MI-2), Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management (NOC 1122) is the first to reach the cap for Ministerial Instruction 3 (MI-3). The 500 cap for NOC 1122 has been reached already as of August 22, 2011. That means Centralized Intake Office will no longer accept applications under the said job classification unless there is an arranged employment.

Eligible Occupation	Approximate Number of Complete Applications Received
0631 Restaurant and Food Service Managers	60
0811 Primary Production Managers (except Agriculture)	8

7372 Drillers and Blasters – Surface Mining, Quarrying and Construction	1
8222 Supervisors, Oil and Gas Drilling and Service	10

Meanwhile, there's not even one application received under Crane Operator job classification. I have some interested applicants as Crane Operators but they wouldn't meet the pass mark under the current points system due to education and language factors.

Only 81 Slots Left for NOC 1122 to Reach the 500 Cap | Total FSW Applications Received as of August 10, 2011

As of August 10, 2011, 419 complete applications for Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management (NOC 1122) has been received by Centralized Intake Office . There's only 81 slots more left before the 500 cap is reached!

There is a great chance that most of the 419 applicants who applied under job classification NOC 1122 are not really eligible. I've talked to quite a number of applicants who filed their applications under NOC 1122, without help from a representative. Most of them are Administravie Supervisors, Financial Analysts and other job classifications which do not match the description of Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management.

If Citizenship ang Immigration Canada really wish to target 500 applications per occupation to fill up its labor shortage, it should base the cap on the number of applications with CIO Positive Assessment and not on the number of applications received. But then again, if their objective is to get rid of backlogs and limit the number of immigrants they will allow to enter Canada, an A+ grade for the conservative government is in order.

Come to Canada Wizard | Free Online Assessment

Citizenship and Immigration Canada recently launched an interactive web tool aiming to make it easier for potential immigrants and visitors to navigate the application process and reduce applicants’ reliance on immigration consultants. It's called Come to Canada Wizard.

I have just tried it myself. The interface is way better than their online self-assessment tool. It is also good that they have provided a page that breaks down the application procedures and links to instructions and forms.

But then again, it will leave you clueless why you were not eligible. Talking to a legitimate and experienced consultants will help you understand more the process.

Try the Come to Canada Wizard yourself here.

It is not required to hire a representative/consultant to apply for Canadian Visa. If you think you can do it on your own, you don't need to pay extra for the consultancy fee.

Remember however, that immigration to Canada is not a simple process. Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney himself admitted it.

“We understand that our application processes can be complex, but this new tool is a major service improvement,” said Minister Kenney. “The Wizard will make it easier for potential immigrants and visitors to navigate the application process.” [Source]

Emphasis mine.

Immigration is indeed not a simple process and small mistakes cause big problem.

Why take the risk?

Take our Free Online Assessment and we will explain to you the process.
