Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[RAJASEKHAR KESANAPALLI]

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.

Dear Experts,

This is my query related to POF.

As gift deed might be fine and depends on the discretion of the VO, hence to remain totally safe I thought of highlighting 3000 CAD out of my 12300 CAD as a FD which will be transferred from my mother's account approximately 1+ month before me getting my ITA. So my questions are-

1. If I opened my bank account one month prior to getting ita in this bank where I ll be keeping FD, will it be okay?

2. For this 3000 CAD, If I show my FD receipt, a letter from bank clarifying liquidity, notarized gift deed, bank statement showing the transfer from her account to mine, and LOE explaining the process, DO you think it will be 100% okay ? Or I need to change or add something?

3. I ll show the remaining 9500 CAD as FD in a financial institution (its not bank but a finance company) and it was kept 1 year back in my name. So, will it be okay if I show the FD receipt and bank letter only for this amount?

Thanks for your reply : )

I am still waiting for my COPR

So your passport is at Sydney office? When did you submit your passport?

 

[Midnight Blessing]

Hi Everyone,

can you pls help me regarding a critical issue concerning with POF. pls, I really need to know the suggestions asap

Actually, I will be showing my 10000 CAD as an FD, which was kept 18 months back and the issue is concerning with the remaining 2500 CAD.

My mother just gifted me this 2500 CAD, and as gift deed is solely dependent on the discretion of the VO, I am also thinking about keeping this amount as FD (to make my POF 100% risk free) which will be kept at least 1 month before getting the ITA and I will also be showing notarized gift deed for this amount.

But the problem is that should I keep this amount in the same financial institution where I have kept the remaining 10000 CAD or I should keep it in the bank as FD where my salary account is present?? Actually the financial institution can only give me a formal letter where they will mention about the liquidity confirmation and another letter sumarizing the breakdown of the FD, duration, and profit generated from them.

I am kind of tentative about showing it in the same bank account as my salary because I have taken last 2 months job salary on hand so it might cause eye brows from the VO and make my case a little complex. So what do you think guys? What is my best call now??

So your passport is at Sydney office? When did you submit your passport?

my visa office: Singapore. submitted my passport 14th December

 

[Mahwishtrq]

One can only speculate the CRS cutoff. You have a high chance to obtain ITA before Jan or Feb mid-week.
As for now, ONIP has closed the registration as they have reached the quotas. Unfortunately, you have to wait till Jan either-way.

Thanks for your response.
I am really hopeful about it but i read somewhere that ontario sends noi on newly submitted applications. In that case do you think i should create another oneagain?

 

[Amnark]

Sallam Everyone, please help me with a confusion, need expert opinion:
I have recently got my legal name changed from [Amna Riaz[ to Amna Zeeshan [Post marital name], however, i gave ielts on my previous name "amna riaz" in April 2017 & got 7.5 bands which is updated in my cic profile. Now since ive got my legal name changed to amna zeeshan, what should i do with ielts test report form showing my previous name ? in this case do i have to give ielts again, or should i be submitting letter of explanation mentioning that its my pre marital name giving evidence of previous ID card. Also there is a column of other names in profile in which i will mention "Riaz" as its the same name written in all my academic documents & WES reports.

Appreciate swift response.

Hi Experts,

My CRS score is 467 and have got ITA on 6th Dec.
I am having work exp in 3 companies and had applied in FSW program in 2014 but due to cap limitations could not get PR at that time.

I have worked with 3 companies. Work experience from first company 2008 - 2011, I had taken in 2014 when I had applied earlier.
My consultant is saying that I should take work experience again from my first company.
The proof of employement taken in 2014 will not work.

Please suggest because employer is refusing to provide me that letter again.
