You're free to pursue any career you want once you get permanent residency, whether that's a past career, your current career, or a completely new, unrelated career. Generally, most applicants simply claim their 'primary' career as the career in which they have the most years of experience, for...

Hi euteamore; unfortunately you were affected by the tie-breaker rule (Read up more on this). They had too many persons with scores of 442, so only persons with scores of 442 who submitted their profiles before May 29, 2017 were given ITAs.

What does the 'Help' button say?...my recollection is that it explains what each number is for each specific exam, but it's been so long now, I'm not sure...

Not every 'job offer' qualifies as valid arranged employment for purposes of Express Entry. Under Express Entry, unless the programme is specifically LMIA-exempt, you can't get points for a job offer unless it has a valid LMIA. So, yes, if you want to claim points for arranged employment, you...

It doesn't matter under which programme you apply. As long as you have enough CRS points, receive an ITA, and complete your application correctly, the chances of being approved are the same for all programmes. Choose whichever option gives you the strongest likelihood of receiving an ITA...

Unless you're going the PNP route, no profession has more of a chance than any other to be approved for PR. As long as your job falls into the NOC Type 0, A, or B category, your chances of being invited to apply are equal, all other variables remaining equal. Please see below for answers to your...

You will not get any points for a cousin (CRS or FSW eligibility). The 15 CRS points are only for SIBLINGS. (Please note that cousins are not considered siblings in Canada. The terms 'cousin brother' and 'cousin sister' is not recognized there. You also cannot get CRS points for your uncle, but...

We need more information - what were his IELTS Scores? There are minimum scores he has to achieve to be eligible. Also, have you calculated his Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) programme eligibility (i.e. does he have more than 66 points out of 100 on the FSW grid), and have you calculated his...

When you say 'PR is approved and in process', what do you mean exactly? If she doesn't have her PR Card yet, that's fine (you can use her signed COPR as evidence of permanent residency) but if she hasn't LANDED, she's not a PR yet. Being 'approved' (i.e. having your application approved) is...

Um...I wouldn't recommend it; the requirements are that the sibling must be 1) 18 years or older, 2) a Citizen or Permanent Resident, and 3) physically living in Canada. If you can provide proof of physical residency for your sister, then you can try, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it -...

Yes, you can. Siblings only have to share one parent, not both, so only having your mom's name on both your certificates is fine.

The documents the different agencies request varies depending on the country in which you pursued the qualification. For ICES, I had to have my school send them e-transcripts, as well as send them a completed application form, a copy of my passport bio page, and a copy of my degree. I would also...

The tie-breaker rule gives preference to OLDER profiles for persons who have the exact cut-off CRS Score for that particular draw. In other words, if you have a score of 425, and the draw cut-off is 425 and a tie-breaker is utilized because more persons have a score of 425 than can be...

Hmmm, I'm really not sure. You'll need to wait for someone else in the forum to respond - someone who actually applied under PNP. I can state though for sure, that I've never seen any documented evidence exempting PNP applicants from the Proof of Funds requirement.

If you include both work experiences under your 'Work Experience' section, you need to provide employer reference letters. If you don't want to have to provide the letters, you can remove the experience from the 'Work Experience' section, and move it to your 'Personal History' section when...

Please see common reasons below for profile ineligibility: This guide is only relevant to persons who expect to be eligible under the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) programmes, NOT the Federal Skilled Trades (FST) programme Intended Destination/Province You...

I don't think PNP is automatically considered part of the CEC Stream. Do you have 1 year of full-time, paid, legal Canadian work experience in an NOC Skill Type/ Level 0, A, or B, within the last 3 years, that was not obtained while you were a student?

I don't think you can make that assumption - it's too risky. You need to find out definitively what stream you're under. What does that first paragraph of your ITA letter say?

Hi Michael, I responded to your post in another thread. PNP candidates are not exempt from proof of funds (as far as I am aware) unless they are applying as part of the CEC stream (PNP candidates applying through Express Entry still have to apply as a part of one of the 3 streams - it may have...

Actually, I've never heard of PNP not having to show proof of funds - I could be wrong, but I'm certain PNP candidates would have to show proof of funds, unless they meet the same exemptions as non-PNP candidates (1) applying as part of the CEC stream OR, 2) being authorized to work in Canada...
