To be eligible for FSW, you need one year continuous (no breaks) skilled work in one NOC. Do you have this?Hi all,
I am confused why I can not enter the EE pool considering my criteria. Every time I apply to enter EE, I am told that I am not eligible. Here is my criteria:
I am really confused why I can not enter the pool. I suspect that it is either due to the employment offer (i.e., No LIMA) or that the system does not count some of my work experiences. My understanding was that any paid work experience even in different jobs and even during full time study could count towards the 1 year experience needed for FSW. Am I missing something?
- never married, 36, male
- PhD from Canadian university in Biology (aquatic ecology) graduated in March 2020.
- PGWP valid until November 2022
- Working full time since October 2020 in 2121 NOC (biologist) as primary occupation. I do not have a LIMA for this job offer but my job offer is permanent and in British Columbia.
- IELTS General taken in April 2021: L: 8, S: 8, W: 7.5, R: 7.5
- I had 3 part time paid jobs with Environment Canada during my PhD studies. Two of them have different NOC compared to my primary occupation, one has the same NOC to my primary occupation but all are NOC A. In total they count for around 350 hours from October 2017 to March 2020.
- I have also 4 months full time work experience in the primary occupation (NOC 2121, A) in Iran from March 2014 to July 2014.
Thanks
No, my work experiences are not continuous. I thought when they say you can work in different jobs it means it does not need to be continuous. And for CEC that seems not to have the continuous job requirement, I can not count those part time paid jobs during my PhD.. Such a terrible program. Canadian immigration system is the perfect example of nonsense. Someone like me after over 6 years in Canada with a PhD, job and high IELTS score can not still enter in to the EE.To be eligible for FSW, you need one year continuous (no breaks) skilled work in one NOC.

You are not eligible for FSW. To be eligible for CEC, you need one year Canadian experience following graduation not while you study. Whether it is good or bad depends on each person’s profile. No system can be perfect.No, my work experiences are not continuous. I thought when they say you can work in different jobs it means it does not need to be continuous.

For FSW the work experience must be continuous and in a single NOC.No, my work experiences are not continuous.

Hi, to answer your question: No. if your score is exactly at cut-off score, it will depend on when you get in the pool.Hi... I dare to ask a question which may sound lame to many. When they say that for eg: 473 was the lowest CRS score for the last draw, does this mean that all applicants with score more than 473 at that point of time receives ITA?
Thanks
You can sponsor your parents as a PR once you meet the income requirements after working in Canada for at least three years and if you are selected through the lottery. Only a limited number of applications are accepted each year. You can include siblings who are under 22 in the application to sponsor your parents. If your siblings are older, then not possible to sponsor them.Hi, is it allowed to sponsor my parents and sibling to come here in Canada if I am only under PR status? Thanks
