That depends on where you're at. If you're close to band 8 already, it might suffice to practice on your own (as in, without a teacher but with suitable learning materials). If you have to upgrade from a lower grade, you'd better get some aid, or, at least, someone to correct your pronunciation...

I first created and submitted my profile on 18 Sep (1 a.m. EDT) and got my ITA on the same day :o So, am I right in thinking that I have to have submitted the PR app form, all the docs from the Checklist (I haven't finished the PR application, so I don't know what's going to be in it)...

Hmmm... Isn't there a raised probability that they will reject me because of NOC (in comparison with the outlook of my application without this inaccuracy)? Like, I'll upload all the documents and get rejected in four months? I mean, my track record, while fully legal, is not particularly...

1st job - erroneously indicated NOC 4216, when in reality it's pure NOC 4021 2nd job (the primary occupation) is NOC 1111 (Fine) 3rd job - also NOC 1111 (Fine) 4th job - erroneously indicated NOC 4216, when in reality it's NOC 4012 (-ish; it's hard to pick one, but it's definitely nowhere near...

A complete list of my application screw-ups: 1) Indicated the wrong city in the description of my primary occupation (in the same region of Russia, but the wrong city) 2) Indicated the wrong city in the description of my husband's occupation (again, in the same region of Russia, but the wrong...

No, it was done during my studies in Russia. I wonder what the official rules say...

I keep finding catches, and this time it seems to be lethal to my ITA(((((( I just realized I gained my experience while technically being a full-time PhD student! You hardly ever visit your University even as a full-time PhD student and no student can afford NOT to work full-time in my country...

I guess it might be true for people from more stable environments. Believe me, I want this very, very, VERY much. It's getting quite uncomfortable where I live, and that makes me even more motivated. The problem is that I'm probably too afraid to end up being rejected or even banned because of...

Thanks! Thank you! I thought about it too. Maybe it's best to get a notarized translation of my school leaving certificate.

Do you know what the pool of candidates looks like? Do you know the precise number of candidates with this or that score?

Thank you, you have been most helful! BTW, have you entered Canada under EE?

Accounting is my "primary occupation" b/c my other jobs lasted for less than a year, which is pathetic, but either accounting or no Express Entry for me anytime soon :( I don't have a degree in accounting, just experience. As far as I know, the education doesn't necessarily have to match the...

Nope, I am a linguist from Russia (Russian is my first language). However, I'm applying as an accountant ;D Speaking of which, I have one more eensy teensy (or maybe not) issue with my application. When I was asked to fill in the date I became qualified to act as an accountant [see link to...

Thank you! Such a relief! For some reason I had missed the fact that my education points would double in the Skill Transferability section (I have an IELTS score of 9.0). But then I saw the error in my way of calculation. I am not particularly attentive, am I? :D So, one gets to enter the data...

Hello everyone, I have 451 points (completely unexpected; I had calculated the score and thought it would be 426), therefore I got my ITA on Friday out of the blue. However, after I reviewed my application carefully, I found a few mistakes: -I indicated the wrong town in my Work History in my...

Anyway, I filled out my profile (451 points) and just got my invitation to apply :o Now I'm considering some help from an immigration lawyer. Wouldn't like to end up misrepresenting myself or something.

Here's the situation. I have a linguist's education (Master's in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics issued in 2012). Then I worked as a teacher for 11 months (the idiot that I am), then as an accountant for a year and then as a chief accountant for 3 months. Then I went on to become a teaching...
