Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

I was told at one of the recent working in events in Manchester, that the reason why the opening day is a Saturday is so that they can (and may) make changes to the application form/criteria/process right up to the last min.

In fact I was even told to not be surprised if "the new list" is released on 3rd May...

So you made the list huh scribe123.... Oh I'm so excited for you :fingerscrossed:

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

Yep, I'm on the list, but I'm not counting my chickens until the 1) the new forms are out 2) they are sent and delivered and 3) my credit card has been charged (which should mean I've made the cut from a quota point of view).

I'll then rest a *little* easier and hope all goes well. After my wife's NOC quota filling two years ago; and the FSW door being closed at the last minute last year; this will be the third time we've geared up for this. I'm told patience is a virtue :D

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

And third time lucky:thumbsup:

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

I think in general from most posts on this forum you need the patience of a saint :)

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

I really would not recommend paying via credit card. If for any reason they cannot charge the card - not enough funds/security block by your cc provider, they will just return your pack. A bank draft is always the safer option.

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

When does this officially open? I've been looking online for the new application and it doesn't seem to be there?

Any help would be appreciated as i'm desperate to get my application in ASAP

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

It opened on Saturday. The new forms are already online under SW application here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigra.../apply-how.asp

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

As Siouxie said, it's already open. Do you have your IELTS and credentials assessment etc? If so, you're good to go!

What NOC code are you applying under?

Good luck.

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

I'm applying under skill code 1112. I believe i have all the documents and the ECA was sent out a few weeks ago so expecting that in the next few weeks.

I just can't find the IM008 form. All the other forms which are pdf files show up, but the IM008 form does not show up. It states that I need to update adobe, which I have, but still the same message comes up. I assumed that because I can see the other forms that they may not have released the new IM008 form.

Maybe I am wrong. Can you help?

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

'Next few weeks' is likely to be too late, will it definitely take that long? If so, fingers crossed the quota doesn't fill before then.

It's working fine on my computer, so is definitely there.

Good luck with it.

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

It's because it has dynamic content I think. Have you tried with another browser? I would just carry on with filling out the rest and then try again later, this problem has occurred before. It's a generic application form so wouldn't be FSW specific.

I managed to open it using Nitro Reader, it's a free pdf reader, but as it needs to be validated this won't be of use for filling it out - but at least you would be able to see what the content is.

FSW1 Current applications received - updated weekly

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

We should have a sweep stake on how long it takes to fill up.

I just hope my application makes the cut. :fingerscrossed:

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

:fingerscrossed: for sure!

Re: FSW List Announced Today
 

Judging by the spreadsheet on canadavisa.com forums, I think NOCs 1112, 2147 and 2174 will fill up very quickly, probably in a matter of weeks. Possibly in a matter of days!

Judging by your signature I am guessing you applied under 2147?

Seems a number of applicants are ready to post shortly but waiting for WES confirmations etc. Have you mailed your application yet?
