Hi, You need your husbands evaluation done ASAP so you can apply as soon as EE is out. There is a calculator out there, google for it using the Search term "Canada visa EE calculator". As long as your job matches that of a NOC Skill A,B or O. You will get in. I believe software testing is...

Yea lol, I meant LMO got changed to LMIA. If you had a previous LMO, it does nothing.

Your employer. Mine was confused too, they said we can do LMIA but actually they were talking about sponsorship for PNP.

How are you 4 years in Canada without being PR?

LMO does nothing anymore.

What they are talking about is Sponsor for PNP not LMIA

486/1200 Don't know if thats good or bad.

Saying the market is good or bad is a very sensitive topic. We are on a Canada Immigration forum. I didn't want to Alarm people. You really need to be good on paper as a landed immigrant or new grad student to get a good job.

Thanks. That clears a lot of confusion :)

See the way it goes is if you are a CEC applicant you still are a CEC applicant. Express Entry isn't a new stream. Its a way you apply. Canada has just changed the way you apply. That is all. So you will still get ITA under CEC only.

And Obama is talking about retaining foreign students and Canada won't do the same? PGWP workers get more points anyways. Go look at that stat sheet in the other thread, the people in the upper 400s (470+) are all CEC applicants. The number of people above 470 in that sample of applicants is...

Hurray ! the killjoy is back. Your country as aptly as you put it needs those immigrants. Do think what you want to think. PGWP holders working in NOC 0, NOC A, NOC B still will get retained and will get their PRs. I can't believe I am saying this but yes I get what you're saying. A lot of...

http://w w w.cbc.ca/news/politics/immigration-express-entry-5-things-you-need-to-know-1.2859510 Everyone can see where they rank. So we will know the average points at which there is a cut off. Which is great :D

This only means that the company hire these people without worry about anything. This just helps companies fill positions faster because all these people are living in Canada and are looking for jobs so this provision was made to include these people in the pool of people looking for jobs. That...

And these programs have certain skill level criteria?

Okay. This is confusing. CEC is still subject to NOC rules but FSW isn't. Isn't there whole another thread where it was said that NOC skill restrictions were being lifted.

Yes, you are right. But where in this whole system is market conditions playing a factor? If what they are saying is right then that CRS ranking system is the only way your fate is decided.

Hmm but isn't it a common pool now? Unless there are picking separately for FSW and CEC this won't be valid right?

I understand, but we are all paranoid because things have changed so much, but to the applicant (skilled ones with good experience) there shouldn't be much change. In fact the redundancy has been removed so getting the PR is faster once you get ITA.

Where is the skill getting measured? Everything here is Quantitative and not Qualitative. If there is no skill criteria anyone with 3-4 years of experience in a lower skilled job (book keeping, clerical work etc etc) will have higher points than those with higher skilled work with less...
