CIC said there will be 20k+ ITAs for CEC this year, I have a feeling that all CEC applicants will be picked up at some point this year.

Either way would work.

You can directly apply to provinces if you meet the criteria. Some already introduced a new stream called Express Entry (e.g BC) and some are still working on it(e.g Ontario).

Check this out: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-how.asp "Your certificate will show which stream you were nominated under. This will tell you if you should apply under Express Entry or the regular application process. Applying through Express Entry – If you were...

No, it's not mandatory but you can get more points by taking an IELTS test.

Each section has independent CLB score and the total language score is the summation. I cross checked with my EE profile.

About PNP holders who already received their certificate, one can only claim 600 points if got the nomination through EE stream(I confirmed it with Ontario Opportunity) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-how.asp "Your certificate will show which stream you were...

1. Yes, no LMIA no 600 point 2. Yes

Wrong! CIC does not recognize working hours more than 30hours/week. In other word, you cannot compensate weeks worked less than 30hours with other weeks that exceed 30hours. BTW , I think you will be OK since you got paid for the period.

I just confirmed it with them, here's the response given: Opportunities Ontario continues to process applications under our regular program streams and we are still working on details regarding our program and Express Entry.

Definitely Feb 05 - Jan 06 is not 12 months!

Yes. Actually there is a minimum 67 out of 100 points requirement for FSW stream. Check CIC website and do the math to see if you need relative points to pass the criteria. I suggest you to calculate both scenarios using FSW system and in case both passed the requirements, go for the one having...

There is no advantage under EE CRS (1200 ponits system) though you'll get additional points if invited to FSW stream(100 points grid).

As far as I am concerned, you mus also meet minimum Federal requirements to get a nomination from Provinces under EE unless you take a regular path. BTW, it's not fully clarified yet and I might be wrong.

There is no subcap for NOC 0, A. There is an overall 8000 cap which its tracker has been removed from CIC website since launching EE.

a) No, 1-year full-time (or equal part time) and 1560 hours is a requirement b) Neither c) LMIA will give candidates extra 600 points but it's not mandatory

Haha i missed the first part :)) Cheers

What's your source for 5K January ITAs?

Great thread. If anyone could get a definite answer from CIC on how PGWP holders working in Canada have to respond to Job Offer section, it will be helpful to add.

I can't agree more.
