As per this website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp): In the end you'll have to make sure the dates your employer writes on your reference letter add up to at least one year. I really don't know how taking a leave would work but I just wanted to...

Re: give the "TEF: Test d'évaluation de français" - upto additional 26 points If you did pretty well on the DELF B1 then you should definitely be able to prepare and do reasonably well on the TEF too (and get some good extra EE points!). I didn't prepare that much for the exam itself (I didn't...

Oh wow, sounds like BC PNP is actually though to get. Isn't the first item in the checklist pretty much the equivalent of a LMIA? Not to say that the job offer could act as a LMIA, but the company would have to explain why they hired you over a Canadian or PR, which is part of the LMIA process...

Oh really? Why?

There are also French-speaking communities in all provinces.

There was a thread about it a couple of weeks ago, check it out: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/medical-for-ee-t268315.45.html

Re: give the "TEF: Test d'évaluation de français" - upto additional 26 points I took both the IELTS and the TEF last year in preparation for my CEC application (I had wrongly assumed I would have a better shot of obtaining my PR if I proved I could speak both English and French). Turns out in...

You're very concerned? Give us a break... you'll probably receive an ITA next draw.

I loved that last comment, it is actually true! So much work for nothing... :P. Someone with a score close enough to 600 would need to have foreign work experience and 4+ years of Canadian work experience, but all people in that situation should already have PR status by this point in time...

I've got a score of 500+ too, guys, hopefully some of us will start getting drawn before summer 2015...

So you're telling us you've got a bachelor's degree and asking us if you should select bachelor's or master's degree for your EE profile? Well what do you think? A bachelor's degree will get you 128 points in the category "level of education" (150 is the max but that's for people with PhDs).

Oh man this means there are still quite a few draws to come before people with no LMIA start being selected. This sucks.

If you're considering getting a LMIA I say play to your advantages when looking for a job. Do you have any particular skillset that most Canadians won't have? For example, if you speak several languages, try looking for job offers where they need people who speak those languages and you would...

Bear in mind that a new company that is willing to get you a LMIA to hire you will still have to go through the normal LMIA process that supposedly takes between 2 and 4 months but has been reported to take longer than that.

I wouldn't do it if I were you, 8 points is not worth it... if you really want to increase your score even if a little bit then maybe do some studying and try taking the IELTS/CELPIP again.

So just to recap, first we need to receive an ITA and get a file number, and then we can send fingerprints and pictures to the Canadian Embassy or do we wait until CIC requests the Mexican police certificate from us?

Thanks Susana! I will have to go through this sooner or later too... to say this lifted a huge weight off my shoulders would be an understatement :D.

Since like EE took Ontario by surprise and they're still working out their PNP approach to EE... hope they finish soon.

Hi there, 1. Here's the definition of "arranged employment" as per CIC's express entry (basically, permanent job offer + LMIA = arranged employment): http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=112&t=6 2. Any response to that question at this time would be just speculation, but as top...

That made me laugh, OP :P
