Hello everyone,
I've been in Canada for 7 years. I came here to study at University and I graduated from the University in May, 2021. I had some part-time jobs during my studies but since my graduation, I've been working full time in Canada. I applied for Express Entry about 3 months ago and I had a direct 0 score after I applied but thanks to this forum, I found out that, my work experience had to be at least 1 year since the graduation and that time I was still under a year. So today, finally it's been more than a year and I'm ready to apply again for EE.
But I don't want to make mistakes this time, so I would like to ask some questions that I find tricky to get your advices on almost every section.
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
IMMIGATION HISTORY AND CITIZENSHIP:
Has ------- ------- applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada before?
- I'm saying YES here, because I applied for study and work permit. But I'm not sure, if this answer should be YES or NO. Can you please advice?
Has ------ ------ applied for Express Entry before?
- As I explained at the beginning I applied for Express Entry 3 months ago but I was ineligible due to my working duration which was under a year after I graduated. So should I mention about that application here and enter the enter the application reference number?
WORK HISTORY:
I wanted to ask a few things about this section.
I worked for my previous company let's say A company, for 11 months after I got graduated and just right after that I've been working at my current company (B company), and it's been 2,5 months. For me this is my primary occupation, because this is what I'm going to do in the future. So is this the company information that I should enter in the Occupation section?
My second question for the Intended work in Canada. I have an open permit so I don't have any company's or employer's name on my work permit.
How should I answer the following questions:
- Is ------ ------'s job offer from the employer named on the current work permit? YES Or NO
- Four digit NOC code of current work permit.
Since my work permit is an open permit, I don't have a specific NOC code. What should I enter here? Should it be NOC code of my current occupation at my current company?
- Has ------- ------ been working full-time for the employer on their current work permit for at least one year? (Or for an equal amount of part time work?) YES or NO ---> I've been only 2,5 months so but I worked for more than a year since my graduation.
Is it the Work History part which will give a knowledge about my working time in Canada? I don't want to make mistake here. I think I should say No here and enter my past working experience (Company A) in the work history part in order to show that I have at least 1 year of working experience in Canada. But I need your advices please.
For now these are the questions that I need to answer before applying.
Once again thank you very much for your time and help in advance.
Kind regards,
dd
