Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Thanks a lot for the support. Even, I also believe in doing on my own. However, some points creates confusion regarding the need of REGISTERED representative.
1. Abhinav.com has a a dedicated representative from Quebec who is having a registered number and it mentions that for Immigration applicant you need a authorised representative.
2. One of the consultant (Canadian Dreamz) insists that you need to have a certificate from a Registered representative. He told that In India there are only 12 such representative and in one way or other you need a certificate from them, even in case you go on your own.

Does anyone of you have grown through any such certificate at any stage of the PR Process?

Not clear with these requirements anywhere on CIC Website. Seems these are misleading comments by immigration consultants.

Yes.. I too saw that.... That is why I thought it is misleading....
What I ask the consultant is that give me the link when getting such certificate is required, which he didn't replied.
Also, i too was not able to find any such certificate requirement on CIC Site. So was Confused.

Now, All clear with your help. Thanks a lot. Appreciate your support.

Hello,
this thread's name is "step by step instructions", but I was not able to find something that will guide me (at least in general) through the EE profile sections.
I submitted my EE profile recently, and it got rejected immediately with no ANY crs points awarded. While my CRS score is 487, I have all the neccessary factors for CEC (job offer & experience in Noc B, ECA, CELPIP).
I realize I made a couple of mistakes, but how do I detect them?
Is there a post here explaining the meaning of questionnaire questions?
Appreciate your help!

Thanks, Kuchbhi. I did check the first paget. There are no answers for my questions.
I should ask specific questions here and proceed step-by-step.

My wife is not coming with me to Canada.
Should I indicate that I have no family members on the EE questionnaire (Family section, question #1)?

You definitely and positively need to indicate that you are married and have a spouse.

Guys I have already received an ITA and I have 1 month in hand for submission of my e apr.
One of my friend suggested me to hire a consultant at this stage of time coz of a couple of things. I'm collecting my documents and I'm almost on the last stage.
Do you really think I need a consultant ?

No..you dont really. If you can put a little effort you can do it by yourself. Moreover, this forum can also assist you

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

This is so helpful. Brilliant job

@TanakaM Hi...my girlfriend (soon to be my wife) is a private tutor and she runs her own coaching institute for undergraduates and post graduates students. Closest NOC for her is 4012.

• tutor – post-secondary teaching assistant

She is running that institute for the last 5 years. Can I show her tutor work experience or CIC only accepts that experience if one is working in college or university ? If i can show her experience then my CRS score would jump to 470.

I Took the IELTS test in India through BC. Will BC email a copy of the TRF as pdf to email? I know I will get the TRF in postal mail, but wanted to check if they email it too.

You will need to call and find out. In my country they dont.

Is her experience Canadian? If not you will not get any points for it. Thus there is no point in entering her work experience at all.
