    Which NOC should I choose 2171 or 2172

    Um...you might need to get it notarized or otherwise endorsed to prove it's actually YOUR job description...if the reference letter doesn't specifically point to the job description (e.g. please see attached job description to accompany this letter), then you could, in theory, get any job...

    Express Entry Step by step instructions.

    1) Check here to determine NOC Code: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp A quick look-up shows Insurance Underwriters as NOC Code 1313, but you need to verify the NOC code's job duties and responsibilities against your own, as it's really the duties and responsibilities that...

    Reasons for Rejection

    I'm not well-versed in GCMS notes, since I haven't gotten to that point yet, but I think the timeframe for delivery depends on the type of GCMS notes you order... the average might be 3 or 4 weeks, I think...there should be a thread on this forum devoted to GCMS notes (I think it's been active...

    Reasons for Rejection

    Well I haven't ordered GCMS notes yet (it's only been 4 weeks since my AOR). My myCIC account statuses stated I went into IP2 3 days ago, but we have to take those status updates with a grain of salt. In the off chance (and that's a big 'IF') that the statuses are actually accurate though, and...

    Reasons for Rejection

    Please see letter below. I attached all of my passport pages, including the blank ones, to show I hadn't just overlooked the stamp, but I suspect this was overkill and you don't have to do this. Please note that my writing tends to be flowery (I like to ensure I'm getting the right tone across)...

    AOR in April 2017 - Let's Connect Here!

    There's a rare step after IP2 called NA3 - where your BCG Status goes back to Not Applicable after IP2. PPR is supposed to follow. Most people skip NA3 though and go straight to PPR. Keep in mind, though, we can't rely on the myCIC status updates - they're not reliably and consistently updated...

    Reasons for Rejection

    I wouldn't worry too much about it if CBSA says you don't have to worry about it. I had a similar issue (for some reason the Immigration Officer who processed me on one of my recent trips to Toronto didn't stamp my passport, and I didn't realize until I returned to my home country and happened...

    EE Processing Time Calculator & General Statistics

    The only thing I can venture to guess in explaining it, is that maybe there is some kind of consultation/verification with the nominating province to confirm the authenticity of/reasoning behind the nomination, and this all takes time???? Of course, that also wouldn't explain the differences in...

    Can't see my score in my account.

    After you log back into your myCIC account, you should see a section called 'View my submitted applications or profiles' where your Express Entry profile is listed. Click on 'Check Status and Messages', and scroll down to the 'Express Entry Profile details'. This will provide a breakdown of...

    Express Entry Step by step instructions.

    I can try to guide you based on my understanding and what I did for my own application: 1. I only listed one entry for each NOC Code I was claiming (2 entries total - the 1st entry highlighting 2 designations under 1 NOC, and a 2nd entry highlighting a 3rd designation with a different company...

    proof of fund issue

    Congratulations on the incoming bundle of joy! 1. It is always recommended to provide more proof of funds than you need, if you are able to do so (after all, you never know what could happen with regard to currency exchange rate fluctuations, or if IRCC might deem one of your source of funds...

    Reasons for Rejection

    1) Yes, you can attach the tracking details along with the LOE. Proof of payment (e.g. for the fingerprints, if you paid to have these done for you, or if your credit card has already been charged by the FBI), as well as a copy of the application you sent to the FBI, are also good pieces of...

    How long does Security Screening take?

    You can't and shouldn't have any expectations of timeframes based on the myCIC account statuses. Even if we could rely on the statuses, there are too many things that could happen in 'IP2' to make an accurate guess as to how much longer your file could take. You could get PPR tomorrow, or you...

    Immediate Family members after spouse and kids for Express Entry

    Wait, it depends! To which screen/part of the form are you referring? In the eAPR questionnaire (the form you fill out post-ITA), there's a Family Information section where it asks you to list all immediate family members who you haven't already mentioned in your application. Under this section...

    October AOR 2017

    You can't make changes to your Express Entry Profile (the form filled pre-ITA) after receiving an ITA. However, you CAN make changes to the eAPR questionnaire (the form filled post-ITA), as long as the change doesn't result in a decrease in your CRS Score that would bring it below the CRS...

    Express Entry Step by step instructions.

    I'm good (waiting impatiently for PPR :D). How are you? To be fair, I'm not sure about the 'system' part of it either, as I didn't fall into that 'Education Level' bucket, and didn't have to deal with that issue (and already sent off my APR so can't go back in now to check what the options...

    Yes it can. The AOR is an acknowledgement of RECEIPT, not an acknowledge of completeness.

    Express Entry Step by step instructions.

    Hi Tanaka, You may need to visit some of the posts in the conversation prior to that one, to get some context :) We had already established that the 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, degrees..." was only in reference to post secondary credentials. Secondly, there have been reports of people...

    How many Points. WES report = "Bachelor's degree (three years) and bachelor's degree (four years)".

    Try putting the individual assessment for each credential (I.e. "Bachelor's Degree..." for the 1st and 'Bachelor's Degree..." for the 2nd), then check your points (once they update) to see how many points you were awarded under 'Education'. If the profile only awards you 120 points for...
