Hello Seniors,
Being newbie I have learnt a lot from this forum, I appreciate all the answers by seniors. I am in dilemma for selecting NOC. Currently I am in NOC 2172 (since 2014-May- current), previously I was on NOC 2173 (Since 2007-Jan to 2014-May). So total 10 years of experience, In this case I have chosen 2172 in primary occupation as it is my current while creating EE profile, however I have read in some of forum that I have to choose NOC where i have maximum no. of years experience. So could you please help me which NOC I have to choose?

In case if I have to change NOC detail then do I need to update my EE profile? I have created it last Wednesday (26-July) only and waiting for draw.

Thank you in advance.

Dear ALL those who answered, guided, helped, supported and encouraged at every step of this AMAZING JOURNEY called "Express Entry" :)!

It all started on the 1st Jan of 2015 and it has all come to a sweet end today 28th July 2017. With 1 expired EE profile and 1 rejected SINP, today I have added the most awaited and wished for feather in my cap...COPR :).

Thank you seems such a small word for ALL of you because had it not been for this forum, I would have never made it this far on my own. A big big big THANK YOU to each & everyone. God bless and Godspeed!

P.S. Please ignore my spamming today on all the threads.I have to reach out to every thread I have been associated with and say THANK YOU :D

You're free to pick whichever NOC you want, there simply isn't a rule that you have to choose the one with most years of experience.

Hi,

In proof of funds, it is mentioned to provide 6 months average balance for all accounts.
I have fixed deposits and do I need to provide 6 months average?
Bank says they do not provide a 06-month average for FD.

Also, I have bank letters for FD not the physical FD certificates. Will only letter be enough?

Thank you:):):)

Hi,

Follow what is on page one of this thread. However, step 1 and 2 are getting your educational credentials assessed and taking the IELTS test. These can be done at the same time.

All the best

Hi and welcome to the forum,

There are 2 fee to be paid, application fee (CAD550 for adults and CAD150 for children) and Right to Permanent Residence fees (CAD490 adults only). The application fee must be paid when you submit your PR application, however, you have the option of paying the RPRF at a later date (after request from IRCC).

All the best

Hi,

You can just pay $1040 upfront and get it over and done with. If you don't, they will request the RPRF later.

Hello.
I am filling my express entry profile. Under the "Application/profile details" in the "Immigration history and citizenships" tab it asks me If I have applied for immigration, refugee etc. I have entered the pool last year, but I have never got an invitation. also I have received "Numéro de référence individuel" from my quebec application. Should I answer the question No or Yes?
Thanks.
Did you find any solution for this?

One of my friends' job is full time, but temporary. He works 40 hours per week. Is it ok for Canada immigration?
What they look at is the number of hours worked per-wk. If they are above 30 there is no problem at all.
