    Question regarding NOC code 2173

    I'm in the same boat. I think 2173 itself should be fine as long as it matches your job description, however, let's wait for senior members to offer their opinions.

    Wes courier option

    I completely agree. I received the hard copy in just 10 days via the standard option (I live in India). This was the case for both my and my wife's evaluations.

    Draw out..470 Score...

    I'm at 480. Didn't get the email yet. I'm slightly worried though - I had declined my previous ITA (of Oct 19) just yesterday, and I got the ghost email saying that my application was updated at 13:59 UTC today. But the CIC website says that those with a score of 470 at 13:12:45 UTC would be...

    How long does it take to re-enter the pool after declining the ITA?

    If I decline the ITA now, can I expect to be eligible for tomorrow's draw? There are less than 24 hours left for the draw (if there would be one), so I'm worried that I might miss it.

    WES ECA question

    Unfortunately, WES wasn't very helpful. They just said that they can't help with "immigration questions", even though my question was about the equivalency of the qualifications :(. Does it make sense to send them another request to add the words "one-year certificate", so that there's no...

    WES Canada - ECA Report Delivery

    I reside in India, and used the standard delivery method for both my and my wife's evaluations. I received the hardcopy in less than 10 days for both. Note that you only need the softcopy to start your EE application - so in case there's a delay in getting the hardcopy you're not at a loss and...

    What about a foreigner residing in India? Will s/he need to approach the FRO, or the local police station?

    WES ECA question

    @Gurmeet_Kaur23: Thanks for your input. I happened to stumble across official documentation online that states it's one year. But as you have suggested, I have also asked WES for clarification. Thanks again!

    WES ECA question

    Going through some of the threads in this forums, it looks like choosing the one-year option would be fine. Asivad Anac's replies in the thread at canada-immigration-discussion-board/wes-eca-executive-management-program-is-it-of-any-use-t393266.0.html were especially useful. @Senior members...

    WES ECA question

    My wife just received her ECA from WES. There are two qualifications listed: one is a Secondary school diploma and the other is a Montessori course, with the overall summary stating: "Secondary school diploma and completion of study and training in Montessori teaching methods" My question is...

    Credentials evaluation

    You need to send both for evaluation. Sending just the Masters is not enough. The only thing not required to be sent if you have a degree is your secondary qualification. Regarding the change of name, you have to specify that when raising the request. There's no need to send proof of name...

    IDP IELTS Test 30th April 2016

    The question in task 2 was: The Internet has made it easy to access music and newspapers for free. Is this a positive or negative development? Of course, the wording is approximate.

    IDP IELTS Test 30th April 2016

    The important thing is to get it evaluated from an IELTS teacher or examiner. As Simon mentions in his post titled "IELTS Advice: why many teachers get it wrong", there is a difference between English taught at schools and what you're expected to write in IELTS. I've sent you an email. Hope...

    IDP IELTS Test 30th April 2016

    I scored an 8.5 in writing. I can suggest a couple of things: 1) Use ielts-simon.com to prepare. I am sure that his tips helped me score at least a band higher than I would have otherwise scored. Go through the General Writing and the Writing Task 2 categories and watch his free videos. 2)...

    IDP IELTS Test 30th April 2016

    My expected scores were: R - 8.5 L - 8 W - 7.5 S - 7.5 My actual scores: R - 9 L - 9 W - 8.5 S - 7.5 Thankfully, it puts me at or above the highest needed scores for Express Entry. However, I'm wondering if I should request for a retest for the Speaking section. It would help in case I...

    Does requesting for an IELTS remark put your CIC application on hold?

    I have just received my IELTS scores and am thinking of requesting for a re-mark. However, I'm also thinking of creating an Express Entry profile. If I request for a re-mark after applying for Express Entry, would that put my application on hold? Can I still receive an ITA (if I'm above the...
