mercylicious: I've been denied student visa to canny b4. Do u advise I use my uci no in this applicatn while filling the form?
Another questn is if one puts sask as province when applying, must he/she stay in the same province? I intend staying in Calgary (because my job is very available there) but I feel it my reduce my chances due to the number of people that wants to immigrate there.

Your UCI obtained at the point of applying for study permit has absolutely nothing to do with your FSWP application except of course there's a breach of any immigration law which cast doubt on your application.

Putting sask at the point of application will not stop you from moving to any other province when you eventually get in to Canada. That is meant to provide the necessary data for CIC and for the Canadian government for planning. Your chance of selection is not reduced by the province that you fill on the application form. Once your application is received and passed on to the office responsible for processing,you are on your way to Canada except all the information provided on the application along with the supporting documents have question mark on them. In essence,the success or otherwise of your alication is a function of your meeting up with the eligibility requirements and not a function of the province chosen.

You can move to any province but your movement have to be documented and the appropriate authority informed until your Canadian International passport is issued.

Thanks Solomonwise, u r really a wise solomon.
So there is no need puting the old uci no.

mercylicious: Thanks Solomonwise, u r really a wise solomon.

It is optional. If I were in your shoes I wouldn't put it.

As regards the name that was mispelt name, nothing to worry about. You just fill the attached form with the correct name and the bank details for which the payment/refund will be made. You can attach a letter to back this up{I'm advising with the mind set that the mistake is not from you when sending your application form}. You can send a copy of the generic application form you sent when applying.

As regards fast tracking,you can dispatch the form via courier and within days it will be delivered to the desired destination to beat the deadline.

I hope the above clarifies.

Thanks solomon i will send it tommorow

@solomon, can i notify them on d attach letter dat their letter got to my mail box late?

mercylicious:

I also suggest your present employer writes something for you, even if its not in the right format. You can then explain that in your application.

Yeah , Thanks mercy.

But it cant be in official letterhead due to two major reasons,

1) Still i am working for them.
2) They will think that i am looking for other job openings.

But i have great relationship my managers , he can do these things for my better future but on a stamp paper or a4 since even my managers dont have the privilege to use the letter head.

saipn: @solomon, can i notify them on d attach letter dat their letter got to my mail box late?

Yes you can inform them of the date you received the letter. But that will not do as much help as returning the form/letter within the specified 60 days.

They actually have an idea of the fact that there may be postal delay so just return the form early enough.

@solomon Ok thanks

Hello Solomon Wise,

I am really so delighted to have seen this thread and read this beautiful information on Canada FSWP and most especially from someone experience like you.

But then i will like to know for 2013 the list of FSWP so as to know if my field of profession is there for example, i just graduated from a University where i read Accounting but i have been an IT Professional for 10 years now.

I will appreciate to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Well,You would have to choose between being eligible under 1112 Financial and investment analysts,2174 Computer programmers and interactive media developers and Computer engineers (except software engineers/designers)

What would determine your eligibility under any of the above will be your work experience over time.

Unfortunately,your qualification and work experience should have a positive correlation and it doesn't appear to be so in your case. This is moreso because you'd have to choose the eligible occupation under which you want your application assessed

Let me give you these links so you can guide yourself on what is expected of you in terms of the eligible occupations as listed on the NOC website.

Financial and investment analysts
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=1112

Computer engineers (except software engineers/designers)
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=2147

Computer programmers and interactive media developers
http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/noc/english/noc/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=2174

Let me ask,do you have any qualification at all in IT? On what basis did you gain/garnered the work experience in IT over the last 10 years? Your response will determine the way to go.

Beg ur pardon?

Hi solomonwis,LadyGuinivere,

This is question may be very silly,
Is it necessary for spouse to clear the Basic English requirement, even though I am going to be the only applicant? , The Canadian lawyer always says that “Spouse should have basic language requirement”

It is not a necessity. it only gives an additional 5 points when you include your spouse's English language test.Outside of this, nothing to lose.

mpi210: Solomonwis,
Please I have a couple of questions:

1. can one fill the form with pen and on PC or must it be 1? I asked cos the fonts are too big for some spaces in the form that it cannot even contains the full name of my school and they stated that there should be no abbreviation.

2. How reliable is GTB bank draft for the fee payment?

3. Will the settlement funds from Nigerian banks be in Canadian dollars or in Naira?

4. What do they mean by self-addressed mailing labels?

I just needed to ask these questions so as not to make any mistake.

Thanks

1. PLEASE DO NOT ABBREVIATE write as much as the space provided can contain,leave the rest...You already have documents stating the name of the Institution attended.

2 & 3 - If you have a GT Bank Debit card,please provide the details as that will ease the payment.In fact,it will save you a lot of cost associated with raising bank draft. Moreover,the draft have to be in canadian Dollar and should be payable by a bank in Canada. In essence,a special arrangement has to be made with the bank where they'd issue a draft made payable in Canada on your behalf {This will not be a GT Bank Draft}. To save you the hassle,make the funds available in your account and provide your debit card details on the application form and the rest will be done by them.

4. Self-addressing mailing label is a label giving details of you and your address. They usually ask of this so they don't commit any mistake when sending any documents/letter/correspondence to you.

.

mpi210:


Thank you so much for the insight.

In no 3, I meant, the proof of fund we are supposed to get from the banks, will it (total amount in one's account) be in Naira or Canadian dollar?

On no 4, is it like an A4 paper with my name and address boldly printed on it or what? I just didnt get it.

1. You are filling the form online,except of course the part where you might have to print out and SIGN. Aside this,you are not filling anything with pen.

3. The fund will have to be in your local currency(in your case,it will be in Nigerian Naira). You can make it available in US dollars if you like.

4.It will be on a plain paper....Just like when you are attaching an address to an A4 envelop.

solomonwis:

Thank you solomonwis , but it can be either IELTS or French right ?

hari_it_ram:

Thank you solomonwis , but it can be either IELTS or French right ?

Yes either IELTS,CELPIP {both for English Language Test} or TEF (French Test}

.

mpi210:

Solo,

My GT master card is in Naira. how would they access the funds in naira and secondly, apart from the Security no which should be included in the payment form, they dont have provision for password. how would they access my card if they dont have the password?

I don't think you should worry yourself about how the internal mechanism work with the bank. People here can attest to the fact that you can pay with your Naira Debit Card (Master Card).

All you need do is provide your details as specified on the form,they won't ask you for your password. Just supply the details as specified on the form and leave the rest as long as you have the fund in your account. Your account will be debited at the appropriate time.

@solomonwis


Spambot got you. You will soon be released though

.

mpi210:

Thanks bro.
My friends at the bank are kinda worried out that one is giving out too much information which they feel is not safe and advised me to for a draft.
Thanks for all your help

You are welcome....Use whatever means you feel comfortable with. The Bank draft however has to be made payable in Canada and it should be in Canadian dollar.

Anyone applying under computer (except software)-noc 2174?
We need to rub minds.

Also for the self addressed envelopes if you can type it or write in Caps to make writing real legible
