    New Express Entry ranking system will be applied on Nov 19th (detail inside!)

    Hmm, I am on an indeterminate LMIA exempt job (code C31, under R205), employer National Research Council. Looks like I will get 50 points to push my total to ~520. Now, hope the next cut-offs are not over 600 LOL

    When you create your EE profile, do you need ECA or you only need to submit it after receiving an ITA. Please forgive me if this question was asked before. Thanks.

    I don't understand. You just need to have a WP containing employer name (mine does) to get 50 points? I think it is only for positive LMIA/NAFTA/ICT ... ? Someone please clarify this for me. Thanks.

    We need to wait and see what the next cut-off points are. 50 LMIA points may not compensate for point deduction due to age. I agree that 200 points should be given to other NOCs. How many NOC 00 applicants, I wonder? foreigners with NOC 00 jobs may be very few.

    My HR mentioned an option of renting a house in Quebec side. They have a different immigration system (not EE) and with some help from an immigration lawyer, I can get PR without LMIA or EE points. But we have to find an English school for my daughter, etc and I don't like QC life style. In the...

    New Express Entry ranking system will be applied on Nov 19th (detail inside!)

    I have over 10 year working experience, got my MS and PhD in the US and had a job (research faculty) there before I moved to Canada. My position in Canada is indeterminate and LMIA-exempt. When I apply for my work permit, they gave me the maximum WP period they could (5 year) and I am not object...

    Not yet. I was waiting for this change but it does not help me. Going to take English test and will create an EE profile. My employer is willing to file LMIA for me but it is a hassle process (re-posting the job, waiting time, etc). And now LMIA is worth only 50 points, not sure I want to go...

    Oh OK. I am in ON, working for Canadian government (full-time, permanent position). I have MS and PhD degrees, over 10 years working experience, etc. My job is in aerospace engineering field and is LMIA-exempt. Was going to apply for LMIA for 600 points, but now 50 points and I guess it does not...

    Can anyone let me know if a WP holder with permanent position can apply for PNP ? Thanks.

    I agree. PhD max 140 points < Bachelor (120 points) + 30 points (for a degree from a Canadian Univ.). And PhDs are older -> less point due to age. Probably PhDs are not welcome in Canada :o

    Express Entry LMIA-Exempt Current Job

    Thank you, JoacRy. I created EE profile once but it was ineligible due to the missing LMIA number, since then I did not try again. My WP is valid for 5 year so I though I had to wait longer to gain enough point. My question is when I register for job bank, what will it provide you? does it...

    Express Entry LMIA-Exempt Current Job

    Hello, Could you please update your situation now? Thanks. I currently have a NOC A continuing job but LMIA-exempt. I had over 8 year working experience in the US before moving to Canada but no Canada schooling or Canada work experience. Now I am kind of frustrated with that EE/LMIA-exempt profile.

    Where to submit passport - LA or NY - for work permit

    Congrats on the approval of you work permit! May I ask your timeline for your work permit application? I submitted my application online on May 08 and am still waiting. Does CIC request you to submit any additional document after your first submission? Thank you in advance.
