You obviously have not fully acquainted yourself with the new FSWP new rules! Your occupation is no longer on the new eligible occupations!

Remember only an UNBIASED assessment will give you the required points {67} needed to scale through. You must have awarded points for yourself to have claimed 68 points. You need to break down what your age is,your work experience,Education {Obviously,HND will not be rated as the same with Bsc.},Language{You need to state for each skill tested, i.e Speaking,Listening,writing an reading,what your score was},adaptability/arranged employment.
Thank my bros,with the new NOC am not qualify but my wife with BSC degree is qualify.

That will not suffice. You have to prove how you are related not just with pictures but with documentary evidence such as birth certificates,marriage certificates,etc. You might be lucky to be asked to provide this details by your case officer or they might just score you zero under adaptability.

Since you've submitted your application,you might as well keep your fingers crossed and wait for the outcome.if I may ask,under what eligible occupation did you apply,did you provide educational credential assessment report,if yes,which of the authorised bodies assessed your credentials and for how long?

It should take less than one year from start to finish. One of the many reasons why only 5000 application will be considered between May 2013 and April 2014.

I hope you will keep the thread members informed of the progress made on your application so others can benefit.

I wish you the very best.

@Solomonwis, I appreciate your kindness in sharing all you know about this program, God will surely reward you.My question is on the proof of settlement funds, I have funds in my acounts (naira (current and savings) and domicilliary ( dollar and euro) and they are all in the same bank, I hope I can combine all of them to make up for about 22,000 cannadian dollars that is required for a family of four ( according to the info on the website).Do I need to request formally for account statement from the bank, on can I print the one accessible via internet banking? In addition, can I include my stock portfolio (CSCS account) which far exceeds the requirement as proof of additional funds moreover, there maybe need to move some funds from the bank accounts within the application period.Thanks

It is advisable to include the bank statements of all the readily available and accessible funds from all sources as you have mentioned. Your cscs statement will also suffice.

Note that at any point during the processing of your application,you will be requested to produce an up to date statements of all the sources of settlement funds you provide at the initial stage. This can be asked 2 or more times before the application is positively considered and concluded. At each period you are requested to produce the statement/proof of fund,the fund must be available.

You can decide to move the fund and use it as u like but you must prove the funds are available even at short notices.

@Bwave I think its preferable to get ur statement from d bank and have d bank signatories sign on it(dependin sha on d bank wen de give u)

LadyGuinivere: @Bwave I think its preferable to get ur statement from d bank and have d bank signatories sign on it(dependin sha on d bank wen de give u)

That is correct!

You can also have the bank confirm your balance in a signed letter. Just an online copy of your statement might not suffice.

Debit card payment is advisable.

This is because it cost you next to nothing apart from the application fee unlike bank draft.

Just supply your Master/visa card details in the appropriate form and send over to CIO in canada for processing.

Unfortunately your occupation is not one of the eligible occupations. Except you have qualifications and/or work experience in the listed eligible occupation,
It is not advisable to apply for the FSWP.

So nice to see this forum. Please does anyone know when the application fee will be charged on the card details submitted? I am asking because even though I am planning to submit, I wont be crediting my card until one week after submission. Will that be too late cause I have heard people say their cards weren't charged immediately.

A friend of mine submitted his application already but didn't include the Supplementary Information – Your travels (IMM 5562)because according to him he thought its for only those who have a travel history and so didn't include it.

Nobody can cay precisely when your debit card will be charged,this is because the FSWP is undergoing a faster processing unlike what it used to be in time past.

Your application might be in queue and your card might not be charged until months after{that used to be the case with the previous applications}.it is advisable you put into perspective the mailing/posting duration to arrive at a safe conclusion as to whether your account will be charged immediately or not.

From experience,your friend's application might be returned as incomplete. That form is applicable to everyone who submits an application.

Federal skilled workers who applied to the CIO and have a request for case information may contact the Client Service Unit (CSU). Note that if your application has already been sent to the visa office for processing, the CIO will not be able to help you.

You will not receive a reply to your email if:

you have not already applied as a federal skilled worker;
you are not authorized by the applicant to receive personal information;
you applied within the last six weeks; or
your enquiry concerns a topic other than your case.
Please do not send the same enquiry more than once. You can reach the CSU at CIO‑Sydney‑Search‑Enquiry@cic.gc.ca.

The only option is to wait for your occupation to be listed on the eligible occupation. That might be after April 2014.

In the time being you can begin to gather the necessary documents necessary for a positive assessment.
