    [HELP] Is it okay to report self-employment as unemployment

    Post-ITA you will be asked about everything in the last 10 years or since 18 years old. I can’t recall whether that’s called exactly personal experience, but that’s the section I meant. The employment section that you are dealing with now is “every job that counts toward eligibility and/or CRS”.

    Express entry profile for different NOC Codes

    You should only need one profile. Find out which of your NOCs are eligible for EE (1+ YoE & category 0, A, or B) and use any of them as your primary NOC. You may also want to check if any NOC is regulated or if any gives you an advantage that is specific to your situation. For example, computer...

    To double the hopium, this percentage is a lower bound of the actual number. Some applicants forget to update PPR on immitracker because they have waited for so long or got too excited.

    [HELP] Is it okay to report self-employment as unemployment

    You don’t have to report it as unemployment. All you need is putting it under “personal experience” and not “work experience”. This way your self-employment does not give you points (which you are fine with) but won’t need paperwork either. A lot of people do this actually. When it comes to...

    People put random stuff in the profile. The CRS/IELTS/ECA don’t add up unless age is over 30 + also accompanying spouse with lower IELTS/ECA, which is not that common.

    PNP CRS score confusion

    PNP in general does not have a hard CRS requirement. OINP, for example, consists of multiple streams, and the cutoff score can vary between different streams and fluctuate between separate draws. Empirically the cutoff will be 400+, if not 450+ or 460+. This is because the eligibility criteria...

    A too high CRS for OINP Tech draw?

    I see. If there’s any risk to the work exp, that changes the story. On the other hand, once you get OINP nomination, you basically can’t fail CRS no matter what (assuming the 67-point EE eligibility). It makes sense then. Also one can speculate that EITHER the first tech draw happens before the...

    A too high CRS for OINP Tech draw?

    It’s quite likely that either CEC or all-program draw resumes within the first half of 2022, and your 500+ score will definitely qualify. The line of thought is that half a year is a long time to deal with backlogs, and as soon as backlogs get under control (which it will because there’s only...

    I mean, it’s not a one-way ticket and the cultures are very different. Social hierarchy plays a huge role in East Asia and many can find that depressing.

    People saying US PR > CA PR don’t realize the complications of RO and the challenges of a new immigrant to keep family together. You can be out of Canada for 2-3 years without breaching RO. Plus working expat or accompanying a citizen spouse also count, which gives flexibility dealing with life...

    Passport request IRCC

    Yes, since they are asking for your passport to finalize your application. VFS is legitimate, you can look it up online.

    IELTS expired after ITA and before AOR ?????

    Yes if you have re-calculated the eligibility points. I know EE asks for CLB 7 but that’s the absolute minimum and does not guarantee eligibility.

    IELTS expired after ITA and before AOR ?????

    As far as CRS cares, you are good since the province already nominated you based on valid scores. Do make sure that your IELTS stays eligible for EE (must pass the 67-point eligibility threshold by AOR).
