It is perfectly possible to get picked, you just need to wait. LMIA/PNP holders take priority.

I think people need to stop posting speculative threads regarding draw dates and estimated minimum points.

I have my facts straight, I am on an IEC open permit so I understand LMIA exemption... You appear to be confused. Having an LMIA-Exempt open permit does mean you are exempt from needing an LMIA for the extra 600 points, just that you can work for any employer without them needing to obtain an...

Why would they need to do an exclusive draw for PGWP holders? There are other people on Open permits in the same boat. If a PGWP holder can't get an LMIA then why should they receive special treatment? That would indicate that they weren't really needed in Canada.

If a NOC is in demand then a candidate will be able to obtain an LMIA and have more than 600 total points. No need to consider NOC category for less than 600 points.

There is no need for a quota system, as explained many times LMIA takes care of that, NOCs in demand will be far more likely to receive an LMIA or PNP nomination, giving 600 extra points and ensuring the candidate is selected ahead of an applicant who's NOC is less in demand.

There is no required NOC list, it just needs to be within category A, B or 0.

Very doubtful it'll drop to the 300s any time soon. All 600+ profiles aren't guaranteed to have been selected already since more will be added all the time. It's more likely that within the next couple of draws it'll get down to the 500s and high 400s, lots of people in the 400-500 range.

Just an FYI, Implied Status doesn't apply to IEC-issued work permits, many people have fallen foul of this before, until your employer receives a positive LMIA you cannot get a work permit. Also receiving an ITA doesn't allow you to bridge, you have to submit the actual PR application before...

I work with someone who received an ITA in the second round, have seen the email myself and also her MyCIC account when she logged in to show me what documents I might need. Also see here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/rounds.asp

If you can't get any proof of your employment there, copy of contract, payslips etc then I don't know what you're meant to do, because by leaving it out when asked for your work history you are misrepresenting but then if the CIC officer evaluating your application doesn't accept your proof then...

You have to put the information, even if you can't validate it because by hiding past employment history you are mis-representing. Also, it appears that after an ITA you need to provide reference letters for your spouse's work history, even if you don't receive points for that either. This is...

The employer has to apply for the LMIA. They have to advertise the job for 4 weeks and if they can't find a Canadian to do it they can submit an application for an LMIA and have to prove that they couldn't hire a Canadian. Then in a few months they will hear if it's been granted or denied. If...

From what I've seen people post, it appears that with non-continuous Canadian work experience, if you have more than a year, you qualify for CEC but you won't receive points for the work experience unless it is Continuous.

If you got your AOR a long time ago, why do you care about EE?

Under EE you are required to take your medical and submit the report along with your PR application after receiving an ITA.

Why would PGWP holders qualify for an additional 600 points? 600 points are awarded to LMIA holders because this shows that there is a need for them in the Canadian job market, if a PGWP holder is occupying a role that could be filled by a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident, then they take...

I'd expect you would have to include a letter of explanation, I'd have thought you can't modify your profile? Or if it doesn't change your points to a value below the minimum score then that's fine if I remember correctly, I think I read that on the CIC site somewhere.

Well if you feel you need those points then definitely, for example if you don't have an LMIA, otherwise you'd be fine.
