I'm an Australian citizen and have lived in Canada for the past three years (became a PR in December 2015) so I'm pretty qualified to give you a run down about both. Both countries are extremely similar but where Canada has a big advantage over Australia is greater distribution of population...

I got my notes yesterday after applying on 21st December - bang on 30 days, I was pleasantly surprised to see it come exactly as stipulated! Anyway, there's not much in the actual notes section, the most interesting thing for me was the time period between agent review (R10) and officer review...

Yeah I saw your post and immediately retracted my first statement. Thanks.

Oh is that NOC from 2006? Nevermind then.

Any NOC under 0, A or B qualifies you for Express Entry so that NOC is definitely eligible.

BenRMC What is your rank/title within the UK Armed Forces? Would you fit under NOC 0643? http://www30.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2006/Profile.aspx?val=0&val1=0643

Yeah thanks mate - I didn't mention Family Sponsorship as an option.

Hey BenRMC I remember Mr Trudeau speaking about how his Government aims to unify Canadians with their families or something along those lines so I would suggest getting your father and siblings who are citizens to reach out to their local MPs and explain the situation, the MP might be able to...

No I would suggest it isn't based on my application (no business cards sent). As was suggested before, I think the reference letter detailing your duties et al is the most important document for proof of work experience. FWIW, I only sent one pay stub for each of my jobs.

Excellent summary @AshesNDust

The quickest way would be visiting the embassy in your home country I believe. Try navigating through this area of CIC to get more information - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/travel.asp

Yeah good one - I just made it up, muppet. I should have qualified with 'private vehicle'. You'll just need to show your COPR. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=064&t=10 I've also spoken to a CBSA officer and CIC agent who have both confirmed this to me verbally. They are...

By vehicle yes, by air it depends whether you're from a visa exempt country or not. Visa exempt country - Yes Visa required country - No

That's not true - it all depends on your age. Getting 450+ is almost impossible for one in their mid-30's

Did a quick calculation of the points @derekwj37 should get and I'm getting around 417 to 435 points depending on whether spouse language and education is assessed. This is my biggest issue with the Express Entry ranking system. It places far too much emphasis on age. The drop off in points from...

"Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years" This is the exact wording from CIC of the Educational component from EE -> All public accountants complete a BComm - at minimum this is 3 years of education, most are four years. So there's the...

I've explained this to you in another thread - you are wrong. Chartered Accountancy (ACCA, ICAA, CPA Canada or where ever) IS a diploma. I got my ECA on that basis and successfully have landed as a PR.

Landed this morning at Toronto Pearson @ around 8am this morning - longest part was waiting in the queue for other to be cleared by immigration. The actual process of landing took like 15 minutes including getting my new SIN from Service Canada as it was early in the morning and no one was...

Sorry but you're wrong. At the end of your studies and work exp requirements you actually get a certificate/diploma...in Australia, the certificate is called a GradDipCA - ie. It is a Diploma. The ECA from WES or any other institution doesn't give you the points! You effectively self assess...

You won't see the 'two or more degrees' that's just a CIC category, nothing to do with WES. The summary line from WES will only state your highest qualification - you are absolutely entitled to select the 'two or more degrees' category in your EE profile.
