Hi everyone, under educational qualification, if someone has completed two certificate programs in Canada (each 8-months long), and Bachelor’s degree from home country - the correct option to choose in the profile is “Two or more certificates…” right? Just wanted to confirm please. Thanks!

Hi,

I have 3 questions.

1. I have submitted an EOI. My current position LMIA exempt due to intra company transfer. When I do the CRS assessment on the IRCC website, I get 625 points however in my submission, I am only getting 478. Does the fact that I am an intra company transfer negatively impact my score? In the assessment I have 625 but in the application I only have 478 with the CRS Job offer only being 50 instead of 200.

2. In addition, I have been told that my work permit maxes out at 5 years. I came to Canada in May 15 2021 and during that period I was out of the country for approximately 2 months. I have been given until March 14 2026 on my current work permit. What are my options?

3. Can I submit an application for PR to multiple provinces?

1. This has nothing to do with the fact you are on an ICT. 200 points are only awarded for specific NOCs for top level leaders, such as CEOs and CFOs. Roles such as senior manager are only given 50 points.

2. Hopefully get PR before then. Otherwise look for a different employer in Canada who is willing to hire you and get an approved LMIA.

3. This doesn't make sense if you are already working in Canada. You have to prove intent to reside. So it really only makes sense to apply through the province where you have been living and working the last several years.

For EE, Do i need to get ECA done for bachelors degree(did in India) even-though i did masters degree in canada ?

Hello everyone, I have a BSc and a post graduate Diploma (not a masters because I didn’t pass my dissertation). Will it count as double degrees for me?

Is this Canadian education? If not what does ECA state for both.

Hi Guys

My brother originally submitted AAIP via EOI. If he decides to apply Express Entry instead, does he need to withdraw or delete his AAIP application?

Thanks

I created my express entry profile yesterday, I did my masters in Canada add added it to the profile. But I haven’t got any points for my CRS - Canadian Education it’s mentioned as 0 points (Do I need to wait for the score to be updated??)

You most likely answered a question wrong. Usually it is the question about whether you completed the program in French or English, or online.

It worked Thanks!!

No, it is not Canadian Education.

 

[Naturgrl]

No, it is not Canadian Education.

So what does ECA say? If you haven’t done it then no one can tell you what equivalency will be.

You're right that the Express Entry (EE) process can be a bit overwhelming at first, but I'll outline the key steps in order to help you and others who may be looking for the same information.

Step-by-Step Guide to Express Entry (EE) Process:
1. Determine Your Eligibility

• Use the Come to Canada tool on the official IRCC website to check if you qualify for Express Entry.
• Express Entry is for three programs:
  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

2. Get Your Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)

• If you studied outside Canada, you need an ECA from a designated organization (WES, ICAS, IQAS, etc.).
• This assesses how your education compares to Canadian standards.

3. Take a Language Test (IELTS/CELPIP for English, TEF/TCF for French)

• You need to prove your proficiency in English and/or French.
• Aim for CLB 7 or higher to maximize points.

4. Create Your Express Entry Profile

• Submit details about education, work experience, language scores, etc.
• You will get a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on your profile.

5. Enter the Express Entry Pool

• Once your profile is complete, it is entered into the EE pool.
• You will be ranked against other candidates based on CRS points.

6. Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)

• If your CRS score is high enough, you may receive an ITA in a draw.
• ITA allows you to apply for permanent residence (PR).

7. Submit Your PR Application

• You will have 60 daysto submit all required documents, including:
  • Police clearance certificates
  • Medical examination results
  • Proof of funds (if required)
  • Employment reference letters
• Processing time varies but usually takes around 6 months.

8. Receive Confirmation of PR (COPR)

• If approved, you will get a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).
• You can then travel to Canada and complete the landing process.

Additional Notes:

✔ Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): If your CRS score is low, consider applying for a PNP to get additional points.
✔ Job Offer (Optional): Not mandatory but can increase your CRS score.
✔ Stay Updated: Regularly check IRCC updates, as CRS cut-offs and rules may change.


If you or anyone else wants a detailed thread with screenshots and examples, I’d be happy to contribute, or we could request the admin to pin a comprehensive Express Entry guide for easy access.


Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello everyone
My fingerprints couldn't be captured while giving biometric . What will be the implications of this? Will IRV delay application for this??
