    How to identify my NOC

    I can't speak to PNP but, for Express Entry, the NOC Code doesn't matter, just as long as it's Skill Type/Level 0, A or B.

    July AOR 2017

    Your ITA Letter should have stated which stream you were applying under - FSW or CEC. You should log back in to your myCIC account and re-read it; It's rather important to know which stream you're in, because there are different criteria to satisfy each stream (for example, FSW has to have...

    letter of employment

    I assume you're speaking about employment in Canada if you're wondering if you can use your offer letter for extra points: 1) There's no reason your experience shouldn't count, as long as it was full-time, and continuous for at least a year or more, and is in an NOC Code with Skill Level/Type...

    Average Wait time after submission of application for Express Entry

    If you're referring to the physical location of where an applicant is at the time that they submit their application (for example, I'm from India, but I am in Amsterdam at the time that I submit my application) then, no, this has no bearing on how your application is processed (it's an...

    Express entry profile ineligible

    Well, based on the info you provided, you appear to meet the Federal Skilled Workers eligibility... A few common reasons for lack of eligibility: Did you indicate enough funds to cover the settlement fund threshold you for and all of your immediate family members, whether or not they're...

    Express Entry Step by step instructions.

    There's no 'minimum CRS Score', although you will need to meet eligibility requirements under the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) programme, Canadian Experience Class (CEC) programme, or Federal Skilled Trades (FST) programme, in order to participate in Express Entry (which is an umbrella...

    Slow application progress, concerned

    You're only at 4 months - remember, the average processing time is 6 months. And you DID provide an update to your application after submission, which would delay/extend processing. Don't worry about what's happening with other people's applications; you're still within normal processing times.

    Delay PR Application for 6 months post ITA acceptance

    The xray would be deferred until after your wife gives birth (as it's apparently not safe to do the xray if you're pregnant). This means the last 'piece' of your application can't be submitted until after the birth of your child, and the application processing can't be completed without this...

    Proof of Relative

    Additional documents are always good for this purpose, if just to corroborate what the first document proves (and especially if your sister's property registry isn't dated within the last 6 months). For item # 2, you'll need to provide your birth certificate alongside your sister's, and both...

    How to identify my NOC

    The only way to know is to go through the NOC list and find the NOC with job duties and responsibilities that most closely match yours. There used to be an email address you could write to, but they no longer provide assessments for people - they just give you the same information as I'm about...

    12 years working for the same company

    LOL; it's usually the newbies and it's only because they're so new to the process and eager. I'm sure we all went through an 'over-thinking it' stage when we first started out. With time, they'll mellow out like the rest of us :) At the very least, it's definitely better to over-think things...

    Urgent Question

    Spousal sponsorship right now takes about 12 months; PR through Express Entry (assuming you're eligible and have a high enough CRS Score) can take anywhere from 4 months to 2 years, depending on how quickly you get your documents together so you can submit your eAPR, and how long it takes IRCC...

    Delay PR Application for 6 months post ITA acceptance

    Unfortunately, I don't think extensions are granted for ITAs or for eAPR (electronic application for permanent residency)( submissions (the part after you get the ITA). If you get an ITA next week, you will only have 90 days to submit the paperwork and eAPR; if you can't meet this obligation...

    Ray of Hope - 74th Draw

    Regarding option 1, you don't need to hold the funds you're claiming for settlement for 6 months; IRCC just wants a 6-month history so they can check for any suspicious deposits that could be, for example, you trying to pass the proceeds of a loan off as unencumbered funds for settlement (which...

    FBI US PCC which applications are currently being processed ?

    The general consensus on this forum seems to be that that all expiration dates (except the medical) freeze upon submission of the eAPR (i.e. if you submit before they expire, they won't be counted as expired when the expiration date hits). However, if you're still uncertain, you can request the...

    Express Entry Step by step instructions.

    Just merge all the pages. IRCC can figure out what the document is when they see it. Some people provide contents pages and indexes and title pages but, honestly, my advice is to just keep your application as simple as possible and submit only what is needed. The more you give IRCC, the more...

    HI EVERYONE

    The general consensus right now is that you need to have a score of at least 435 to have a chance of securing an ITA (but that can change in subsequent draws). The last draw's CRS Score cut-off was 438, and the scores have fluctuated between 413 and 449 since about February or March.
